Description

Giant Crab is a Wildlife Creature in Elden Ring. Giant Crabs are hostile, and will often chase down and attack any unsuspecting players that wander too close.

Notes

Where to Find Giant Crab:

  • 1 by Limgrave TunnelsGrace: Outside the entrance, behind a destroyed stone panel, guarding a Trina's Lily.

  • 1 by Liurnia Highway NorthGrace Site of Grace in Liurnia of The Lakes: South of the pond where the Tibia Mariner found.

  • 2 in Wyndham CatacombsGrace: In the sewer room behind the rusty bars. To get there, fall beneath the raising platform in the room with the spiked ceilings.

  • 2 in Black Knife CatacombsGrace: Rising up in front of and behind you as you walk deeper into the sewer area.

  • 2 by Siofra River BankGrace Site of Grace in Siofra River:One is west of the Site of Grace, ear where you first entered this area, the other is to the north of the grace.

  • 2 by Worshipper's Woods Site of Grace in Siofra RiverDungeon. One is immediately west of the grace, the other is due south of the first one.

  • 1 in Capital OutskirtsRegion: It has a breath attack that inflicts Death Blight. It also bears the face of Godwyn on its back.

  • This enemy has the same moveset from its appearance in Dark Souls 3. They can no longer burrow underground and are much easier to fight, especially on horseback.

  • Their breath attack can have varying effects, from a mist that builds Sleep, to a breath that can build up Death Blight. Oddly enough, the maggot-infested zombie Giant Crab's spit attack does not have a Poison buildup, but just does physical damage, like the normal, living, red-eyed Giant Crab.

  • The Death Blight inflicting Giant Crabs in the Capital OutskirtsRegion are found directly above Godwyn's Corpse in Deeproot DepthsGrace. It's possible that these Giant Crabs actually feed on Deathroot, as some land crabs in real life eat tree roots.

  • The Silver Crabs are possibly hinted to be man-made, judging by their Japanese name translating to “homunculus,” similar to the Albinaurics It could explain their recurring appearance in Raya Lucaria and the Consecrated SnowfieldGrace, due to the presence of Albinaurics, and could possibly explain how they could cause Sleep.
