My (clumsy) workaround for this exact scenario was letting Crab King push my raft away in the geyser phase until Grumbles stop attacking, so they can return back to me and not deal too much damage when the ice phase starts.

It's really annoying to deal with this though.

New ck is more fun. Just stop breaking the fight 4head

I didn't say he wasn't, just wanted to point out what Wickerbottom's bee's do to the poor fella. I absolutely despised this boss before the rework, and was the main reason I never went after CC.

CK is fine as he is much better compared to before rework.

Do you think no one used apicultural notes book until now? Different characters with different abilities and skill trees have advantages in some fights, there's nothing to see here.

Wickerbottom doesn't need to be changed or nerfed and this isn't me speaking as a Wicker main since I haven't played her seriously in years.

That's all true, but we can probably still have a conversation about the fact that CK's behavior breaks in awful ways when DPS is a little too high. In the video, CK at one point is in the healing phase, but there's no ice platforms and (allegedly) can't be attacked.

CK is fine (I'll even say great) in the new vs old debate, but it probably needs to get some bug fixing love.

Any strat that deals 1500+ damage to CK after the ice starts breaking but before it all disappears will cause this. Happens a lot with Wurt and Wolfgang :/

if just DPS does this what happens if you do the fight with multiple ppl?

Wasn't crab king always buggy? 

I don't remember, if we're talking about the older version. If you remember to me, I'll eat my words. Only thing I recall was the boat mechanics being buggy.

 

 

If you want to use Grumble Bees to fight CK i suggest this method
Gems: 1 Blue, 1 Red, 1 Purple, 1 Green, 1 Yellow, 3 Orange, 1 Pearl  (3 orange because it boosts crab's healing and fight never reaches healing stage)
6 anchors
When crab starts pushing away your goal is to paddle back to stay close near boss to assure bees keep attacking the boss (if you're too far away they go back to you) and to assure crab doesn't spawn the ice sheet (crab does that once you're far away)
Any armor to reduce damage from cannons, any method to repair the boat before it takes too much damage from cannons
You will get wet from the waves so use either water proof gear or dry yourself with the tempering temperatures
Important: orient yourself so that north is at the top of the screen (use in game compass). without compass use your boat's bridge to know the orientation - make it be directly on the right side of the boat (when you place boat it always is placed in the same orientation in reference to world directions by default). Then position yourself below CK, slightly to the right of its center. this will assure you will not get hit by geysers

Oh dude this is old xD like good find but ain't a find it's a buggy as heck and it goes the same way for Maxwell too

 

Always triggers me when it's this guy's time to fight cuz it goes unintended easily, so unpredictable... Sended many reports but nothing was done yet.

Imagine solo playing (01 characters required) breaking a fight just cuz u use intended perks for fighting that barely has any applications for other bosses once AOE just obliterated the bees so in the few fights u can make them work it's better if you not, lmao dude no

I can name on top of my head at least 5 chars that can make this same scenario happen so it's not a Wicker issue
