Giant Crayfish | Elden Ring Wiki

The real Elden Lord

Submit

Up there with the Giant Crows and Revenants for one of the hardest enemies in the game. I mean damn, these things are ridiculous.

Submit

I hate their jump away dodge more than any of the attacks. OK i dodged all 15 attacks now its my turn - aaaaand this piece of sh jumped 20 meters away :/

Submit

It's kind of upsetting that random lobsters and bears running around are stronger than the literal demigods that you fight

Submit

"we will fix the crabs from ds3 and make the player feel safe, but then troll them with these mfs" -probably Miyazaki

Submit

Why are the ones in Subterranean Shunning Ground the strongest? And why tf is there two of them there?

Submit

My mouth drips saliva every time I look on these mofos... just one glimpse on it's juicy-juicy tail and claws...

Submit

I hate these pieces of sh** , unreasonable damage , health , MB98 Sniper wtf is this

Submit

These ****ING PIECES OF ****. Snipers, backstabbers, stunlockers. The very worst of Fromsoft enemies, and it’s all rolled into a single enemy. Not to mention tanky as hell.

Imagine wandering into Subterranean Shunning Grounds at level 180, NG, beat Malenia, have 60 vigor, and then there’s the fight with two of these… kiss your controllers goodbye, because they’re going right through the wall and into your neighbour’s sitting room.

Submit

they would be the most op summon

Submit

These things will snipe you with a hitscan shot from a LITERAL mile away. If one is trying to kill you, just keep any tree, rock, or building you can between you and it and run away.
If you really want to fight one, just do your best to stay behind and underneath it where it's claws can't reach.
In Liurnia you can often avoid aggroing them altogether if you ride past quickly enough, they will burst out of the ground but not actually engage combat.

Submit

Imagine if Godrick had grafted one of these instead of a dragon….

Submit

Two St Trinia arrows per crayfish in the Shunning Grounds are enough to put them asleep.

Submit

Has anyone had the crayfish in stormgrave in the lake where the dragon is?

Submit

Some of the worst hitboxes I've seen on any enemy up to this point.

Submit

Cheese the two in the Subterranean Shunning Grounds before dropping down. Use arrows/bolts with Scarlet Rot (preferred) or Poison. Pulley Crossbow is great if you have it. Inflicting Scarlet Rot (approx. 6 - 8 bolts) twice will kill each one. Happy hunting!

Submit

Incredibly weak to sleep (and typically not worth killing, so just proc sleep and mosey on past).

Submit

I had trouble with these things mostly cuz of their quick tracking stabbing attacks but I’ve figured out the trick. Roll through the first one and simply move sideways to dodge the 2nd; it tracks you a little but not that well. If it does a 3rd stab, this one will track you very well so roll to avoid it. At this point it will either jump away or continue to stab at you. But the stabs after the 3rd one you just rolled to avoid don’t track you very well at all. So it leaves its side wide open to attack as it stabs uselessly in front of it.

All of its other attacks are pretty trivial imo

Submit

What the hell is it with Elden Ring having common enemies being WAAAAY stronger than actual bosses?

Submit

ah yes, i love dodging pncer stabs until my stamina bar runs out, thank you fromsoft.

Submit

Better zoning than Guile, Dhalsim and Morrigan combined.

Submit

sniper lobster

Submit

petition: Lobster is harder than grafted scion

Submit

If you look closely at the underside of the red eyed variants of these, you can notice a bunch of wriggling parasitical worms infesting their undersides, SO MUCH ****ING EW, as if i didn't have enough reason to hate these nightmare creatures.

Submit

If you're confident in your defense, aggro 2 or more of them and have them all go after you. Their attacks hit each other far harder than you can hit them most of the time. Before you know it, you'll have one very badly damaged Crayfish remaining.

Submit

First instance of actively being mad at Fromsoft. Atrociously over-tuned.

Submit

Lobster, first of his name, Elden Lord and Protector of the Lakes

Submit

These things are the reason leyndell couldn’t beat the carians

Submit

Submit

Blue Lobster

Submit

Endboss idea: 5 lobsters and 2 rune bears with 2 red wolves in the bossroom of castle sol.

Submit

Don't think of the giant lobsters as enemies but as environmental threats, like those little orbs that shoot lightning or bottomless holes in the middle of nowhere. There's literally not a single one of them in the entire game that you actually need to defeat for loot or to progress any quests. They're environmental threats; you're not actually meant to fight them.

Submit

The 2 red-eyed variants beside the trina lilies in liurnia constantly cycle through attacks without stopping when aggroed. In addition, hugging their side will probably prompt them to jump backwards really ****ing high. Visually, they have weird worm feelers or whatever on their belly, unlike the others in liurnia.
The egg-carrying variants also spam attacks but can chain up to 3 sniper shots in a row. Whatever that attack is called.

Submit

When i was hunting down the Grafted Scion disguised as on of these, the Lobster for some reason was way, way harder than the Grafted Scion that was disguising as it.

Submit

Shooting you from a mile away is one thing, but what pisses me off the most is that im a mele fighter and whenever i come close to this sh t it just jumps 300 meters away and cycle repeats itself

Submit

They seem to ignore shields? So that's great

Submit

Be wary of crab
therefore try sleep

Submit

i died more times to the lobster right next to borealis, than borealis

Submit

Never knew it was possible to get noscoped by a lobster from 100 meters away, welcome to Elden Ring.

Submit

They should have added a special note from Bogart telling the player an easy way to deal with them. He obviously has no problems dispatching them on a reg basis.

Submit

I found two red eyed prawns in liurnia beside the boil prawn shack. Did a little testing and haven't noticed any differences between those with or without red eyes.

Submit

In Subterranean Shunning-Grounds (after Leyndell is Ash) I used Black Blade, then some pest threads, and they dropped fairly quickly. Golden Vow and FGMS for buffs.

Submit

I was playing Sekiro and this thing still hit me.

Submit

Would you believe me if I told you that ****ing lobsters can be more troublesome and deadlier than dragons?

Submit

Don't even bother fighting these hellspawns, tanky as all hell, impossible to stagger, hit like freight trains, can snipe you from insane range, very fast attacks, super delayed annoying grab, drops nothing but useless garbage and drop and extremely stingy amount of runes, just don't fight these things if you value your sanity, they're comfortably one of the worst enemies in the entire game.

Submit

Tactical pee sniper

Submit

weird looking dog but ok

Submit

after a few hundred hours and 8 playthroughs, I think I've only ever killed a lobster once or twice

Submit

this ****ing thing, the water shot literally has no wind up any signal or anything. extremely hard shell and delayed attack. and you know what? after spending 1 or 2 of your precious flasks to kill one. it didnt even drop anything good. so yea. if you see them? **** it, just walk away. its not worth it. unless you're on a quest to vanquish every single living things in the land betweens.

Submit

imagine this and the revenant in one room as a bossfight

Submit

not so shrimple now

Submit

These ****ers delay the grab for 3 seconds. THREE WHOLE ****ING SECONDS.

Submit

another weird design choice, somehow their easiest to dodge attack (the jumping stab) is by far the most punishable

Submit

These thing can snipe you from across the planet

Submit

Not so shrimple now.

Submit

can confirm one sleep pot does put the giant crayfish in shunning grounds to sleep

Submit

These things are f**king nuts. 4,803 hp in the shunning grounds? there are dungeon bosses that don't have that much hp. what clown thought that was a good idea? they also hit like a train, the first one you come across in the shunning grounds in the room with the pipes and fanged imps, can hit you at the highest point in the room with pinpoint accuracy. I've been trying to snipe it with frenzied burst, but its managed to hit me with the projectile vomit attack they use three times, that particular attack knocks you off your feet, so that's three times its managed to knock me off the pipes and kill me with the resulting fall damage. I really hate these enemies.

Submit

if you're a magic user you can use a sleep pot and then blast them with something like azure comet
make sure not to aggro both at one though

Submit

tarnished acquired

Submit

the crustation nation

Submit

Why does this thing do so much damage

Submit

I am extremely impressed that Boggart decided to hunt these bastards down for food.

Submit

Sigh... *Grabs bow

Submit

This thing is called Giant Railgun Turbo Lobster. It is official. Do not insult this masterpiece of modern warfare by calling it sumfish or whatever.

Submit

Use sleep against them.

Submit

If you struggle with the two in the subterranean shunning grounds, sleep pots can make wonders

Submit

Fun fact: The high-pressure blast it shoots out of its mouth is actually it's urine.

Submit

With 50. cal, armor-piercing spit bubbles, it's no wonder Radagon's Golden army couldn't conquer Liurnia-a dozen of these guys probably destroyed half his army.

Submit

Behold, the true Elden Lord. You might as well just uninstall. You will never git gud enough to be able to compete with Miyuzaki's beloved crustaceans.

Submit

Defense ratings?

Submit

Tips for pure melee players: always hard circle right against these guys (towards the big claw). If you move quickly enough and dodge the first few stabs of the small claw you can hide behind it's right claw (close to its tail) and avoid all its attack. If you are close enough to its tail even the right claw back swing won't hit you

Submit

Mike Tyson lobsters >_<

Submit

One of these boys put in work for me getting rid of a frenzy burst spamming crepus-vial coward invader after he tried luring me into them on the freezing lake.

I still hate their guts, but that was really funny.

Submit

i love being one shotted from 50 km away very fun

Submit

The damage they put out is and stays insane.

Submit

As a habit while riding I usually Crazy Ivan randomly. Saved me the first time I saw passed of these.

Submit

Okay, they really missed a chance at greatness with these. Why didn't they name them Rock Lobster?!

Submit

if you have Mogh's Speer you can lure the ones in the Shunning Ground to the entrance of Leyndell Catacombs. they can´t fit through. if you then place yourself behind the wall, they will try to attack you but can´t hit you, but you sure can with the weapon skill.

Submit

I want to pit one against a crab and see them fight to the death. I won't eat the champion because I'll die trying to kill it.

Submit

can i wield one please? i've always wanted a living high powered gauss rifle as a weapon

Submit

Trouble with these guys? Get the pulley crossbow and craft some sleep bolts. Thank me later

Submit

Try taking on one at a time with a decent shield, and keep moving towards them. Manage your stamina and after about 4-5 cycles of their combo they will jump on top of you, leaving you free to do a heavy attack or two on their abdomen. This pretty quickly leads to a stun, and you can crit to finish them off.

Submit

Yer fond of me lobster ain't ye?

Submit

Global Elite

Submit

Are people really debating the phylogenetic tree of seafood here? They want to kill you, all you need to know. And they're good at it.

Submit

there's also one by the frozen lake

Submit

lober

Submit

It's not a lobster, its a crayfish. Come on check your biology FFS.
That's not the same animal at all.

Submit

this is why malenia never invaded liurnia.

Submit

Evolution allowed this crayfish to have aim bot hacks

Submit

i want every single one of these things dead

Submit

I always thought of these things as "giant crawfish," the guy who cooks the things calls them "prawn," and the comments here point out that they're "sniper lobsters."


In truth, they're just failed Crabs like every other creature; unfit to take the Crown of Carcinization, forever doomed to wallow in their imperfection.

Submit

I literally have time to go take a dump and come back when they hold their grab attack

Submit

Guys, Lobster is no more. It's Crayfish now.
However, I have no idea how to update the Page Title and URL.
And I know those two are the most important for both users and SEO.
If you know how, please help me fix it :) Thanks.

Submit

In the 'Enemy' list for messages they are called PRAWNS. In the Boiled Prawn item description it says they are technically CRAYFISH. Searching for either on this Wiki brings up nothing because someone decided on lobster.

Please fix.

Submit

You heard of pistol shrimp, now get ready for sniper rifle lobster

Submit

PETA made a video about the lobster and its hilarious to look at

Submit

One particular lobster in liurnia of the lakes drop the first enemy in the game (i don't remember the name of the enemy)

Submit

You're telling me these guys fried the rice?
