Another thing to note; I don't remember exactly where in the game it is said, but Pagurus is allergic to bananas. If he eats your shell while you have the banana shell equipped, I believe it does around 3/4 of his health.
Amazing! I said in the video that they talk about it having a weakness but I didn’t figure it out. Good to know! It’s not the hardest fight in the world so you can go at it either way
@@JasonDunna In the Flotsam Vale area, there is a glass bong with a dude stuck inside of it. If you use the Mantis Punch adaptation, you can break the glass bong to get him out and he is the one that tells you about the Banana allergy for Pagurus. I literally just fought him 2-3 minutes ago and he ate my banana shield and it had to have taken a good 80% or so of his health. The whole fight took maybe 20 seconds lol.
I killed him on complete accident, while running away from him he did that one attack where he leaps over you and fell into the void, killing him instantly 😂
@@JasonDunnaYeah! It was just like killing the boss, map piece and all. Only thing was I had also died with him, if that happens the respawn losing menu will be kinda buggy for a few minutes
I was stubborn and beat him before going to the grove but I had no idea you could parry the first 3 swings of his 5 hit combo!! I always rolled the first two and parried the 3rd and 5th. Excited to fight him again on my next playthrough
I encountered him on purpose since I wanted to see what everyone was afraid of. As soon as I saw him I got scared shitless and started running away but he killed me. Then I got pissed and rememebered he was a boss and took 30 minutes on trying to kill him. Imagine my surprise when I saw that the map piece you get from killing the "big bad crab" was already obtained
@@JasonDunna Yeah. I realized that I somehow had gotten that 3rd map piece from Pagurus and started laughing from how quickly I got it without noticing
Was struggling hard beating him on a lvl 0 playthrough, and didn't want to pull the gun out. Found this video, read the comments. Was gonna do the banana peel idea, stick one on the fork, and one on my back, but I did not need to do so. I made him fall into the void, was easier than I thought. I had beaten Topoda, god was he a pain in the ass, but my video only shows the last phase =/ gonna have to do him again but beating bosses I used the gun on previously while I am at lvl 0 feels pretty god damn good. I keep all microplastics for stowaways/shells, and upgrade items, but I am not leveling. Uploaded the video on my channel if anyone needs to see how to bait him, and where I did it. Appreciate the help!
Me trying to beat him with 1/4 of this much HP/shell resistance and getting my ass beat 😂Definitely going to come back to him later or just use the banana shell cheese
The banana helps a ton, I got a video on that but basically the red attack will be the one he grabs it. I fought him in this save file after finishing the other areas that’s why I had more health haha
@@JasonDunna I ended up beating him legit, found that the skill to do a critical hit when enemies get stunned is broken and does a good chunk of his HP. Then just played it safe. Once I learned his pattern it was a lot easier. Now I’m just past the scuttling sludge steamroller which I killed in about 20 seconds with a combo of level 3 tactical tentacle, and dispatch 😂
Its a ez fight if u go to the right by thr second set of rocks. Behind the rocks there is a little strip of area and if u walk there he despaws. so i just get him to spawn and despwan sodge some attacks and hit him, he doesnt regen the dmg and eventually his jump attack jumped him into the void. Im level 12.
I beat him at level 12 with no shell! You can dodge roll as he is trying to frighten and it will not fill the frighten meter up leaving him open for some pot shots. Also, his attacks are very large and coreographed, so it should be easy to pick up on. His slam attack is what you want to see the most, as it leaves him vulnurerable for a significant time. (For all of those who take this boss on early like I, Godspeed. He has 3 one hit KOs if you have low base health. Also, he is very hungry.)
Just run past him and to the left ish area, there’s a boss there that will give you the mantis punch that I use in this video and it will make it easier. You can beat him without getting that if you want but it’s a challenging boss. He isn’t required to be beat until later
@@JasonDunna yea I know it's not but my experience was rough. He'd keep hiding or despawn everytime I had 1 more hit on him so I got tired and went ez mode.*
@@superspyke1 that’s a great comparison! I thought of this boss as Radahn since it’s gone crazy eating other crabs and it’s in a big open area in the Sand Between
Here is an updated video to take out Pagurus SUPER EASY: ua-cam.com/video/nPwvw0q1sIQ/v-deo.htmlsi=PdR2jphHaJVVFu6Y

Thank you so much, I was really struggling with this boss and I got it on my first attempt after equipping the banana peel
Thanks I killed him using the banana I made him eat it then I used lil red cup and gave him a charged attack
Where's a nearby banana peel?
I killed him on complete accident, while running away from him he did that one attack where he leaps over you and fell into the void, killing him instantly 😂
No waaay thats a Genius idea. Do you still get the map piece?
@@JasonDunnaYeah! It was just like killing the boss, map piece and all. Only thing was I had also died with him, if that happens the respawn losing menu will be kinda buggy for a few minutes
@@UnathorizedAXS interesting!! I’ll have to try and see if I can get this to happen
I accidentally did the same thing if you don't dye you get everything and you win
@@axelswanson2490 that’s awesome to know!
Bro thank you so much! I got the mantis punch and pairing that with the dispatch skill made the battle 10x easier
Unreal!! Congrats on taking him down!
You can also bait Pagurus into a Bobbit Worm trap somewhere in that area that can insta kill him if he gets caught
Yeah great point!
Everytime i have one of these videos in the background for whatever reason i beat the boss first or second try. Amazing!
Awesome!! Great job beating the boss!
I was stubborn and beat him before going to the grove but I had no idea you could parry the first 3 swings of his 5 hit combo!! I always rolled the first two and parried the 3rd and 5th. Excited to fight him again on my next playthrough
It’s actually a really fun fight!! I enjoyed it

You already had the map piece?? This boss is a fun challenge tbh

Thanks man I managed to get to another side on the left😊
Awesome to hear it! This is a really fun game, I hope you enjoy
I just used the pizza box to get him stuck and took shots whenever possible.
Oh that’s interesting I’ll have to try that out next playthrough
I beat him shell-less in my run because i was stubborn. Pre expired grove no hammer
I was trying a shell-less run because I didn’t accept shells
Bro major respect, that would’ve been hard.
I beat him at level 12 with no shell! You can dodge roll as he is trying to frighten and it will not fill the frighten meter up leaving him open for some pot shots.

Where do you go if you don’t wanna fight him
I have a video on that here: ua-cam.com/video/0LWyf9SQEf8/v-deo.htmlsi=pl6MtFQJBIXLvVKy
How do you skip this boss for later ?

Killed him at like level 20 so maybe i was a bit underleveled
Congrats on that!! No easy task
Ive beaten all the bosses fair but i had to break out the gun with this one. Felt bad but that runback was so annoying
Yeah the run back sucks. I suggest starting from the expired grove as it’s a quicker run back
His weakness……… bananas lol
Yeah it completely destroys him! Doing my second playthrough now and it takes out 75% of his health
Wear the banana shell, when he eats it, it takes a HUGE amount of health off him
Yesss I did that in my second playthrough
Im pretty sure his weakness is bananas
Here is an updated video! ua-cam.com/video/nPwvw0q1sIQ/v-deo.htmlsi=PdR2jphHaJVVFu6Y
Im ngl chief.. I pulled out the glock on him full drive-by mode lmfao
Fair but this game is really not thaaaat hard, but it’s your game and you can play how you chose!
@@JasonDunna yea I know it's not but my experience was rough. He'd keep hiding or despawn everytime I had 1 more hit on him so I got tired and went ez mode.*
@@superspyke1 totally fair, this is one of the hardest bosses in the game
@@JasonDunna reminded me of the monkey in sekiro
@@superspyke1 that’s a great comparison! I thought of this boss as Radahn since it’s gone crazy eating other crabs and it’s in a big open area in the Sand Between
Honestly he was the easiest boss if faced, only took me three tries.
Yooo you’re a beast
@@JasonDunna you wouldn’t be thinking that if you saw all the tries it took for everyone else.
I beat him at level 32, didn't get hit once and am rather disappointed by this boss. Should have fought him sooner.
No hit on this boss is sick though congrats
If you didn't get hit, that's just you being good man.
