Players will have to reach Moon Caves in Another Crab's Treasure as a part of the game's main story. You will have to please the Duchess at Fort Slacktide to get your home shell back, and you must find something shiny for the Duchess before she agrees to trade with you. Your conquest for "something shiny" will take you to Moon Caves, where you will find the relevant item to take back.

This article will guide you in reaching Moon Caves in Another Crab's Treasure, navigating through various pipes and perilous platforms. Sharpen your pincers and tighten your exoskeleton, as this is going to be a thrilling journey.


Here's how to reach Moon Caves in Another Crab's Treasure

Making this souls-like title even harder, Another Crab's Treasure does not have a minimap or quest markers. As a result, players can easily get lost while navigating the corals and reefs of the ocean floor.

The path to reach Moon Caves in Another Crab's Treasure is not a direct one, and players can only reach it by navigating through giant pipes. To add to the complexity, these pipes can only be accessed from inside Fort Slacktide. Here are the steps to reach the Moon caves:

Step 1: Talk to the Duchess

After meeting with the Duchess for the first time, several doors in the rest of Fort Slacktide will open, allowing Kril to enter previously restricted regions. Turn away from the Duchess, leave her room, and then turn right.

You should see a Slacktide Footman standing in a room full of urchins. Speak with him and you will be instructed to go to a supply room on the other end of the hallway. (Watch out for the hilarious parody brand names in this room, they're sure to make you giggle.)


Step 2: Acquire the Fishing Line

Prepare for some extreme parkour in this section, as you have to jump through multiple objects to get the desired item.

  • Jump onto the "Elden Bay" box of seasoning, and climb up the yellow and red nets from there.
  • From here, jump onto the green net and keep climbing over on top of a box labeled "Uncrustworthys".
  • From here, look to your east and locate a box called "CheesyGuns". Glide or swim (by holding the jump button) to this box and jump over it.
  • Climb on top of this box and you will see a house of cards with a golden item on its top. Jump onto the cards to make this item fall.

This item is a Fishing Line, that allows you to grapple throughout the submarine world and will help you reach Moon Caves in Another Crab's Treasure.

Return to the room with the Slacktide Footman and the Urchins. Look up and you should notice a hook that's hovering above the Urchins. Use your newly acquired Fishing Line to grapple onto this hook, and then walk up the stairs. A gigantic Urchin will roll down the stairs which you need to avoid. Keep continuing upwards till you find a crab who will apologize to you for dropping the urchin by mistake.


Step 4: Land on the pipes

From the top, you should be able to see a point where you will be able to jump over onto the gigantic rusty pipes that lead to the western cliffs. Locate a yellow net and align yourself in a way that you can grapple onto this net. Once done, launch Kril over and he should be able to grapple to the net automatically.


Step 5: Reach Moon Caves in Another Crab's Treasure
