How Do You Beat the Giant Crab in the Second World of the "Banjo-Kazooie" Game?
- 1). Play through the Treasure Trove Cove level until you see Nipper, a giant crab. He will prevent you from moving forward on the beach. He'll attack you after he's finished taunting you.
- 2). Stay away from his large claws until he has attacked four times. You'll hear four distinct "clicking" sounds, indicating his claws clamping shut, and he always pauses after the fourth click. Run up to him, jump so you're at his eye level and press the attack button while in midair.
- 3). Retreat from Nipper after you successfully hit him, and he'll attack with his claws four times again. Hit him a total of three times to defeat him. Go into his empty shell to continue on in the level.
