How to Get Treasure Crab Rewards

Claiming a Treasure Crab's chest takes three steps.

1. Find the Crab

A Treasure Crab carrying a chest on its back

Use the map above, or search for them in game: tap the magnifying-glass icon on the left of the map screen. This search unlocks once a watchtower reaches Lv 5, so level up watchtowers with the Lusterwasps you collect.

2. Defeat Every Enemy Around It

Once you find the crab, defeat every enemy around it. They're small creatures, so they go down easily.

3. Search the Crab

With the enemies gone, a heart appears around the crab. Interact with it to collect the rewards, then tick it off in the checklist above.

Treasure Crab Rewards

Every Treasure Crab gives the same guaranteed rewards, plus random wood materials. The amount of each random item also varies.
