There is actually a ninth crab that escapes to the bottom right very quickly, you can grab it if you’re fast!Ĭrab 2 – Moves up and to the right, in your path.Ĭrab 3 – Sits on the right side of the map.Ĭrab 4 – Walks back and forth near the bottom left exit.Ĭrab 5 – Hides behind some coral at the bottom middle of the map.Ĭrab 6 – Starts near 2, but eventually walks down to 5.Ĭrab 8 – Enters at the bottom right after a short time. Study it carefully, don’t get distracted by the other crabs darting around! Stay on track on what number you are on, and the area you are at. Again, follow the map to the right to make sure you’re on the right track. Two of them, crabs seven and eight, are quite tricky! Crab seven makes a quick escape up in the top left, and crab eight waits a while to enter from the bottom right, circles the middle of the room, and exits from whence it came. The final set of eight crabs that the Ultimania lists out can be found here, and they are the hardest of them all to get. Crab seven is likely having a fit in the corner, again don’t get distracted by crab eight, which doesn’t immediately escape!Ĭrabs 1 & 2 – Immediately in front of you as you enter.Ĭrabs 3, 4 & 5 – Converge towards the middle of the map, 5 will break towards the top right.Ĭrab 6 – Sits near the exit in top left, eventually runs off.Ĭrab 7 – Sitting on the left of the map, tends to get stuck.Ĭrab 8 – Sits around on the bottom right, before running towards the upper left.įrom here, you need to travel to the Upper Left to exit the cave, you will then fight a Pincher Crab with a Tezla and then two more Pincher Crabs on Prince Beach before going Left into a cave, fight the Sea Jack and finally go Upper Left and prepare for crabs once again.Ĭrabs 7 & 8 won’t immediately appear! Wait a few seconds for 7! In actuality 9 crabs appear on this screen. These crabs in particular are very fast and moving around a lot! You need to grab crabs three, four, and five relatively quickly, so study the map to the left before you go in. Still inside the cave is where you’ll find the next set of eight crabs, outlines in the image to the left. To get to the next section with crabs you need to travel to the Lower Right (where crab 6 was) and fight through a Sahagin and two Bloodsuckers, go Upper Right and fight a Big Baby, then get ready for crabs once again as you go Upper Right.Ĭrabs 3, 4, and 5 should be directly in front of you as you enter. Don’t be tempted to grab crab eight early as you might run out of time!Ĭrab 1 – Immediately in front of you as you enter.Ĭrab 2 – Immediately down and to the left.Ĭrabs 3 – Will run from where Crab 4 is up towards where you entered.Ĭrab 4 – Bottom middle of map, behind some coral.Ĭrab 5 – Slowly walks down towards the bottom right.Ĭrab 6 – Slowly walks off map on the bottom right.Ĭrab 7 – Attempts to break towards the top left.Ĭrab 8 – Starts in the top middle, and slowly walks to where 4 was. The crabs in the first section didn’t escape as easily, but you need to be careful here! There are eight crabs in this section, make sure to grab Crab 1 as it quickly runs towards the top left! The sixth crab in particular enters the map, and then starts to leave! Crab six walks slowly down, be careful not to exit when stomping it! Crab seven may get stuck trying to exit the top right. In this cave is where the difficulty starts to ramp up, but the image on the right should get you through it. Watch out for the crab 6! He enters the map and then starts to leave! You are going to want to save before attempting this, because even with the guide these crabs are very tricky! This is likely going to take you a few attempts. The blue Pincher Crab enemies in the level don’t count, it’s only the red crabs that run around and don’t cause you to draw your weapon. With those together, it is possible to get a score of 34 stomped crabs. The boss of the quest, Fullmetal Haggar, counts as two! So it’s in your best interest to complete your crab stomping along with this quest.
Following this guide will get you enough crabs to get all the rewards, but only if you complete it during Summer Lovin’! The guide is not perfectly accurate, the fourth room actually has one additional crab in it. The guide uses images from the Legend of Mana Ultimania to illustrate what path to take in each room. When you start the quest Summer Lovin’ in Legend of Mana, about the two Penguins David and Valerie at Madora Beach, you’ve got to be ready for some crab bashing if you want the best ending for the quest.
