Another Crab's Treasure Guide: How To Get the Powerful Valve Shell

Another Crab's Treasure is a colorful and vibrant souls-like game that lets players take control of a crab fighting facing various challenges in his journey to buy back his repossessed shell.

The game features a lot of shells that provide various benefits and have varying degrees of usefulness. While there is no one shell to rule them all, there is a particular item that comes relatively close to taking that title.

The valve shell is an exceptionally powerful item that provides Kril with amazing defense and later on, devastating offensive prowess as well. Furthermore, this particular shell can be acquired relatively early if you know what you're doing.

Soon after players clear their first major zone in the game, they will make their game to the central hub, New Carciniia. This is where you will get the main quest in Another Crab's Treasure, which is a treasure hunt across three distinct areas of the underwater society, according to Kotaku.

The first of these hunts will take players to a grove in the north, which is the location of the mighty valve shell that we are looking for. However, you will have to do some craft platforming actions using the game's grapple hook in order to snag this treasure.

When you are at the Rainbow River Moon Snail location, you need to press forward as if you were progressing through the area as usual. However, you should stick to the right-hand side by the cliff's edge.

You will then come to a road that is filled with spiky urchins that wind up a hill and goes to the left-hand side. To the right is a hill which will have some platforms and sniper crabs. You can find a straw leg holding up the closest platform that marks a cliff you can land on.

When you're there, you need to have your camera pointed up and directly at the grappling hook that was spotted earlier. Then, jump and float in that general direction so successfully hook onto it. Continue to the highest grapple point after and land on the platform wide the sideways milk carton.

Other Defensive Alternatives

Congratulations! Inside this milk carton is the mighty valve shell that is considered to be one of the strongest items in the game. There are also many other shells that are featured in the game, from the normal shell you start out with to a party hat shell that has colorful stars, said GameRant.

The valve shell in particular boasts a defense rating of 45 while also providing 10 resistance. Another item that comes close is the tin can shell which provides a defense rating of 40. However, this particular shell only provides a resistance bonus of 1.

A sturdier option is that shot glass shell, and despite it being made out of glass, it provides a defense rating of 70 and an attack bonus of 3. It also has a skill that summons retaliatory glass shards that last for as long as players continue to block, according to DotEsports.
