Crab king is really fun on multiplayer

[JosePapp]

I do not have a big thesis statement to make or anything,  I just wanted to share that I fought crab king with my buddy @Mooagain earlier today and it was a pretty fun fight as a team. 

We did use a health adjust per amount of players mod, but even if the fight had been 3-10 minutes longer we still would've had a blast (we were prepared for a lengthier fight)I just wanted to share this information with the devs since I don't see a lot of positive feedback towards crab king from the community.

Because people, even in groups, use boring strats used for solo players

I couldnt try it as a group but looks very fun to sail arround and organice with someone to share tasks

The truth is that is overwhelming for solo, only the ice staff method looks like something realistic to be repeated over time since 1 mistake means byebye fight, resources and time

We used the disposable boats method(having a ballilion boat kits and a few patches and sailing around with ores., we even drowned once on our first attempt, but it was really fun to do.

I play solo and defeated the king with the ice staff method, some would say it's boring but I actually had fun with it. I had to try quite a few times to get it right, but it was satisfying once I got the hang of it.

I just wish he had some other drop to make it worthwhile to fight him repeatedly.

I've actually done this method solo on console and beat him, it was all purples or whatever the easiest version is and it took several attempts but I got there. I wouldn't do it again though haha

Yeah sailing style can be done solo but honestly I wouldn’t try it without Wolfgang and or having spiced food specifically because of the claws being pretty tanky. My preferred method is one malbatross sail, a steering wheel, and an anchor. I just leave the sail open the whole time and then I manage the anchor and steering which if done quickly will still surprisingly leave you plenty of time to get hits in.
