Requisite
This achievement requires you to chase 20 hermit crabs off the edge of the world. Now, hermit crabs spawn in 2 areas: Abyssal depths and Titanic plains, the latter only after looping. As the Abyssal depths has no world-edges, one would first have to loop by shifting the destination on the Primordial teleporter, and hope you end up in Titanic plains.
Items (and such avoiding)
In order to get a hermit crab to stand up, it has to feel attacked. The easiest way to make it feel such is by actually attacking it. Avoid crowbars and focus crystals, as you would need to be nearby in order to chase it, and be careful with critical items. Avoid Frost relic, Queen's Gland, Ceremonial dagger, Tesla coil, and Brilliant behemoth, along with most attack drones. Remember, you don't want it to die until it falls off the cliff. Another way of doing this is with a primordial cube, which instead of chasing, pulls the crab off the cliff, as well as any nearby enemies.
You did it!
Congraturation! You can now find arguably the most powerful lunar item in the game! Also, tell me how long you took getting this challenge. I want to get an average.

Railgunner's utility would be great for this, not the slow bubble.

if anyone wants a reliable method that doesn't require any specific items, loader with the spiked gaunlet works fine and is oddly fun.

Thought I read somewhere that nermits aren't one of the enemies that can show up in kin, it just excludes them from the pool. Way I did it was looping to the titanic plains as rex as using his pushing ability to force the crabs off the edge of the cliff.

This took me about half an hour with very good luck, so it might be a little off
Very useful though

I mean, I've tried this today, I managed to get "Parents" on the first stage, but it seemed like it was choosing from the mobs which logs I already had unlocked(I didn't complete them yet), so it was mostly rolling through the same ~4 mobs, like Bisons and Beetle Guards. :zagsnooze:

yes, but fairly unlikely.

Is it possible to just start the game with artifacts of Kin and Dissonance active and get only nermits spawning on the first stage?
