Tips & Strategies

Karkinos can perform a grab attack that will pull you off of almost any creature. However, they can only do this grab if they are standing in water. Even the slightest puddle of water will let them grab. For your own safety, donโt fight them while they are standing in water, unless you would like to be slammed into the floor repeatedly by a giant spider crab.

But the Karkinos comes running up to me, picks me up and shreds me to pieces. Letโs just say I took a little break from Abberation 1 minute after I bought it.
