Elden Ring is considered difficult and challenging. A special item makes the game easier. However, it’s also very easy to miss the item. MeinMMO explains what it’s all about.
What kind of item is it? The item “Boiled Crab” can be obtained in the base game. The item provides a 20% reduction in physical damage for 60 seconds. This damage reduction makes the unassuming item surprisingly powerful, as it can significantly ease your battles.
However, you can quickly block your way to the item without having a chance to use it.
You can only unlock Boiled Crabs under certain circumstances
How do you unlock the item? To get the “Boiled Crab,” players must interact with or defeat the large Boggart of the Black Guard, but if they reach the Volcano Manor of Elden Ring without speaking to Rya first, the quest will be locked for the entire playthrough.
- During a quest from Rya, you can either buy back a necklace from Boggart for 1,000 runes or defeat Boggart.
- If you do not accept the quest before reaching the Volcano Manor, you will not be able to start the quest anymore. It is enough to accept the quest.
- If you buy the necklace back from him, you can buy boiled crabs from him, after which he remarks that he has never met anyone with a fondness for crabs he couldn’t trust.
At this time, there is no other way to obtain the item if you have already played too far.
