Tips

• This challenge is cumulative across all runs. It does not have to be completed within a single run.
• An important aspect of this challenge is that Hermit Crabs spawn on only two stages; Abyssal Depths and post-loop Titanic Plains, and only the latter has edges to chase the Hermit Crabs off of.
  • Artifact of Dissonance cannot be used, as it will make Hermit Crabs not spawn at all.
  • Hermit crabs will also spawn in Titanic Plains during the Prismatic Trials so you can use this to easily complete the challenge without needing to do a full loop.
  • Hermit Crabs within the Simulacrum count towards this challenge; If either of the aforementioned stages are chosen (Note that Abyssal Depths within the Simulcarum does have an edge), it is possible to chase crabs off the edge of the stage, though this highly depends on where the Assessment Focus is.
• It's recommended to find the Newt Altar in Sky Meadow to use the Lunar Seer to guarantee Titanic Plains appearing.
• Using REXREXREX is a half robot / half plant that uses HP to cast devastating skills from a distance. The plant nor the robot could survive this planet alone – but thankfully they have each other.
