Giant Crab Boss Strategies

Here is a breakdown of the battle strategies against the boss:

Take out the mobs

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Remastered Edition - Giant Crab Boss - Take out the mob

The boss has an army of mu’s that can interfere during the fight. Dispose of them quickly since these enemies can slow you down with stun and prevent your nuker from completing his cast time.

Move around the field

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Remastered Edition - Giant Crab Boss - Move around the field

The boss tends to slow you down using its bubble attack. While the projectile travels slowly, your best bet is to always be mobile. Avoid the bubbles to prevent the boss from gaining the opportunity to catch up with a powerful charged blast.

Use Fire magic

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Remastered Edition - Giant Crab Boss - Use fire magic

Spells like firaga are useful not only against the boss but also its minions. On top of striking the boss’ weakness, the elemental magic also weakens its physical defense which paves the way for blunt weapons to do more damage.

Avoid the front

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Remastered Edition - Giant Crab Boss - Avoid the front

When landing attacks, avoid approaching the boss from the front. The boss has a very fast attack that affects enemies that remain directly in front of it.

Close in right after it stops

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Remastered Edition - Giant Crab Boss - Close in right after it stops

After dodging the boss’ charged attack, punish it immediately by going after the side or back.

  1. Almost all my items in chests were different from what was in this guide. Is that normal or did you make a mistake on 75% of the chests?
