How to defeat Crabs in Road of Sacrifice? Dark Souls III Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Huge crabs are very tough enemies. First of all, each of them has impressive strength that can be observed through a number of attacks (pincers, grip). Furthermore, they are very fast and can perform special slides to catch up with their prey. On top of that, they shoot substance that not only deals damage, but it also slows you down. Crabs can also hide underground and return to the surface with a restored health bar - this happens when it is taking damage and cannot attack itself (e.g. if you throw Firebombs at them from an elevation that is next to Crucifixion Woods bonfire, and they don't want to attack).

Sneak up to the creature from behind and you might be able to stun it for a moment. - How to defeat Crabs in Road of Sacrifice? - Questions and answers - Dark Souls III Game Guide & Walkthrough

All of the mentioned features make the direct combat extremely difficult. If you think you are ready for it, try to work on it by using distance attacks or other items that can inflict damage. During the fight don't lock the camera on your opponent and circle around it. Follow these hints and you should be able to attack its legs and body from behind, and thus stun it or immobilize for some time.

Find a narrow passage that you can use to block the creature and attack it from the distance as much as you like. - How to defeat Crabs in Road of Sacrifice? - Questions and answers - Dark Souls III Game Guide & Walkthrough

There is another method that you may want to try out. Lure the monster between two narrow trees and it should get stuck. Move back and attack the creature from a safe distance. Jut make sure that you have enough items.

You can also lure it to the small passage to the ruins which is located in the northern-west of the swamp (see screenshot) - How to defeat Crabs in Road of Sacrifice? - Questions and answers - Dark Souls III Game Guide & Walkthrough

You can also lure it to the small passage to the ruins which is located in the northern-west of the swamp (see screenshot). If you manage to drag it there, the creature will have little to no chance to catch you. Just watch out for its substance. There isn't enough space to maneuver but on the other hand, the crab won't be able to reach you.

Remember: Crabs are not enemies that appear only once and they will respawn when you visit bonfires or die. If you find it too difficult, just forget about the crabs and collect items that you find on our way.

Remember 2: Before you engage in combat, deal with other minor enemies that are scattered all around. If you don't, they will make the crab fight even more difficult.
