Just-guy Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 A known strategy for killing Crab King is using Bees since he can't directly attack mobs, though from I could find on the internet it usually is done by dropping Killer Bess or Bees on Spring right as Crab King awakens or crashing a side of the Boat with Bee Mines onto Crab King. I found a better strategy with the use of Rudders. What you'll need is at least 10 Bee Mines, 2 Rudders, 1 Boat, 1 Grass Raft kit, 9 Purple Gems and 1 Driftwood Oar/Battle Paddle/Malbatross Bill. Remove the Sea Stacks around Crab King, put the Boat right next to him making sure it's touching him, place the Bee Mines at the borders of the Boat (do this at day because Skitter Squids can spawn and activate the Bee Mines), place the 2 Rudders, socket the gems onto Crab King, right as he awakes turn the Rudders on, the Bee MInes will activate one by one, wait for his geiser spell to be casted, place the Grass Raft and jump in it, start rowing in circles around Crab King avoiding his geiser spells and claws The number of Bee Mines can be increased to make the battle faster, while you can use a normal Boat to go around instead of a Grass Raft, the latter is smaller so it helps avoiding the claws, a normal Oar is not recommended as it is too slow. Don't Starve Together 2022-10-08 23-20-52.mp4 In this video I attempted the strategy replacing one gem with Pearl's Pearl and using 18 Bee Mines, I also forgot that I already built a second Rudder and added a third but only two are necessary.

loopuleasa Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Nevermind the bee strategy YOU CAN SPEEDUP the rotation of the boat by having multiple rudders?? That is so cool. Didn't know that, thanks. Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/143675-crab-king-bee-mine-strategy/#findComment-1601920 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spino43 Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Rudder addition is pretty cool. Though usually I just use about 5-6 Bee Mines because I want to catch/kill the bees after CK dies. I don't want the ocean to be polluted by bees.

Evelo Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 since the rudder was added I always thought aboat this plan. Glad to see someone actually put it in practice. Thanks for this!

ShadowDuelist Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 that was amazing! Just a question, could this be doable with a secondary sailed boat to move around, or would that be too clunky/dangerous?

Just a question, could this be doable with a secondary sailed boat to move around, or would that be too clunky/dangerous? Sailing instead of rowing? Definitely, it is in fact how I prefer doing it. This gives you the option to just stand around or sail with lowered anchor while bees deal the damage, and you would only need to raise anchor when the geyser spawns beneath you and adjust the direction with the steering wheel afterwards. A lot easier to do with two people though.
