Killing pearled Crab King cheap and easily with a single flingo

[thangjames2000]

I've always disliked using bees/sea weeds to cheese Crab King, since you need to go out of your way to collect them. I found out that with some good timing with the attacks, a single flingo can essentially stun-freeze pearled Crab King.

The fight is a bit more engaging than just using bees too, and using resources that you'd have already gotten most of the time.

PS. Turn on caption if you need more explanation for the fight.

Nice.

what happens if you hit too fast?

In the 2nd phase, he unfreezes, summon claws and begins healing if you hit while flingo isn't firing. And the claws will keep spawning afterwards.
Quite the incentive to time your hits well

In a group/multiple ppl settings, I think it'd be much harder for everyone to coordinate and time their hits well. The flingo will still be very useful however, canceling the geyser and freezing attack for free, so everyone can just spam attack and kill it quicker. I'd suggest building it in the middle of the boat so the claws won't destroy it.

Yeah, I like that there are different ways to approach the challenges of the game.  Good work !

Klei, please don't patch this.

I've just also found out that you don't even need starcaller staff. Just some good ol' torches would do. So it's pearled Crab King without any ruins items.
