Another Crab’s Treasure is a souls-like game in which Kril embarks on a dangerous journey across the ocean and, even though difficulty can be adjusted, increasing your HP is a valuable feature that you’ll want to take advantage of immediately. Don’t be fooled by the adorable graphics, many challenging enemies await, and you’ll need every edge to defeat them.
Unlike other aspects of Another Crabs Treasure that work off a form of currency known as Microplastics, the best way to increase HP is to find Bloodstar Limbs. While Kril can increase his vitality, or HP, by upgrading himself as well, the Bloodstar Limbs are the best way to permanently increase your HP, allowing you to focus your upgrades on other areas.
Another Crab’s Treasure Ending Explained (In Detail)
Another Crab’s Treasure has a big focus on a complex story, and the ending brings everything home in a surprising, emotionally rich way.
How To Increase Kril’s HP in Another Crab’s Treasure
Upgrading Kril’s Vitality With Microplastics
As stated, there is one other way to increase Kril’s HP other than Bloodstar Limbs and that is with Microplastics. As Kril acquires Microplastics, he can use them for several things throughout the game. Other than purchasing items at all the various shops, one of the primary uses for Microplastics will be leveling up Kril’s stats at any of the Moon Snail Shells in the game.
Here, Kril can pay a certain amount to upgrade a single item in Another Crab’s Treasure, one of which includes his overall HP. However, since Bloodstar Limbs can also increase HP, players may be better off utilizing their Microplastics on other things.
Note that you can respec your stats at any point,
so you can level up your vitality until you find some Bloodstar Limbs and then respec your stats and level up something else instead.
Additionally, try to collect Heartkelp Sprouts, which can increase your capacity for carrying Heartkelps.
Upgrade Kril’s Vitality By Collecting Bloodstar Limbs
As stated, the alternative method for raising Kril’s overall HP, and the only permanent method, is to collect Bloodstar Limbs. These items are scattered about throughout the ocean, typically in very hard-to-reach places, or given as rewards for defeating difficult bosses in Another Crab’s Treasure.
While there is no requirement to collect these, they are an easy way to upgrade your vitality without wasting Microplastics. At any point, Kril can open the main hub menu where you will be able to see a small star outline next to Kril, indicating how many more he needs to complete the Bloodstar.
For those who are struggling while still working to level up their max HP, several settings in the Assist Mode section of the menu can make things easier in the meantime. This includes options to minimize the damage Kril takes, which can be switched back off at any point.
Unfortunately, one Bloodstar Limb will not increase Kril’s HP, he will need a total of 5 before it changes. Each Bloodstar Limb that is found will fill one of the slots on the star icon in the menu so that players can easily track how many more they need.
Once players have collected the fifth limb, there will be an on-screen notification to let players know that they have completed the Bloodstar and their HP has been permanently increased. At this point, the star will reset and Kril will need to collect 5 more Bloodstar Limbs in Another Crab’s Treasure to level it up again.
