It’s a playful bit that has him utilizing his fork and varied appendages to juggle the kelp like a seasoned futbolista. You go, Kril! Nevertheless, taking management of him as soon as once more will abruptly scare Kril out of the idle animation, inflicting him to fumble the heartkelp pod and probably lose it.

And even though resting at Moon Snail shells is all the time typically a good suggestion—since they heal you, restore your heartkelp pods, and function checkpoints and fast-travel spots—additionally they respawn enemies. One other Crab’s Treasure’s widespread enemies are as devious as a few of its bosses, and in sure powerful areas, you is perhaps higher off taking the lack of a heartkelp pod than resetting some tough-as-nails hammer-swinging crabs.
Principally, watch out the place you permit Kril. And for the love of god, in the event you’re dealing with an edge, simply pause the precise sport fairly than leaving Kril simply standing there. You’ll thank me later.
