Quest routeChecked August 27, 2026

Start from the active quest

Treat Spider Crab as a progression encounter, not a detached farming target. Read the lighthouse keeper's current dialogue before starting, then keep the required quest result separate from ordinary sellable drops.

Prepare for a controlled fight

Bring gear you already know how to use and leave a clear route to safer ground. The current research supports a cautious first-boss approach, but exact trigger details, attack behavior and reward names should be verified in the live build before being treated as fixed facts.

  • Read the quest text before the encounter
  • Keep unusual drops in inventory
  • Return to the lighthouse keeper before selling or cooking items

If progress does not advance

Check the active objective, inspect every unusual item and speak to the lighthouse keeper again. A completed fight alone may not advance the route when the correct handoff has not happened.
