Pagurus

[Ǵ̶͓̂͑lí̴̤̀̄́tcĥ̸]

How the HELL am I supposed to dodge his ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 5 hit combo. It's the only attack I cannot dodge, every single time I dodge the first and second hit the third instant backswing hits me and EVEN if I manage to somehow dodge that, his immediate fork stab into the ground hits me. It homes in on you for every attack and he stays on you in terms of range so you cannot outrun it unless already sprinting away.

I've tried parrying, he just continues the combo. I've blocked but that just destroys my shell obviously. Etc.

If he spams that attack he is unstoppable.

Nevermind I beat him just by sprinting and baiting certain punishable attacks, including that combo (dodged towards him after the final hit, but was out of range for the first 4). I couldn't figure out how to dodge that combo attack any other way. Whatevs.

Maybe just beat him later. I had the valve shell and it is really sturdy.

I abused Skedaddle and Ebb and Flow to beat him. You don't seem to be able to get hit when you're using E&F.

How the hell do you use Ebb & Flow? It says attack immediately after, but it doesn't work, no matter the timing.

Nevermind, I figured it out.

The thimble is really good againt him, just use the charge and block untill you can smack him

I've actually found a build that basically kills all the bosses already. Even Mantis Shrimp was easy for me. Pagurus was just an annoying wall I wasn't ready for so I used a different tactic.

[Caseus]

When you see him raise the claw with the fork, you just dodge backwards for the first hit, then you just dodge backwards again for the double hit and you're safe at that point. The double hit can be dodged normaly anyway, but its a very hard timing.

i just started blocking the double slash in the middle of it and rolling the rest
it's the only time i used block in the whole game

[FeralFluid]

The tin can shell can stun him out of the combo and other than that I just blocked it. The hard part was the grab attack one hitting me.

Couldn't figure out how to get out of the whole thing, but managed to minimize some of the damage by parrying the first and last swing consistently. Started with Coconut (my sturdiest shell at the time) and fought in an area with other shells I could swap too.
