Where to Find and Catch Blue Crab in Palia

Palia offers various types of bugs that players can catch while doing the Bug Catching Guild. Catching all rarities of bugs is the crucial step of leveling up the Bug Catching Guild to unlock advanced versions of the Belt, as well as new items and crafting recipes at the Bug Catching Guild Store. One of the new, common bugs that players can catch is the Blue Crab. In this guide, we will tell you where to find and catch the Blue Crab in Palia.

Where to Find Blue Crab in Palia

The Blue Crab is one of the new common bugs in the game that spawn on the beach of the Royal Highlands map region. They are pretty easy to spot due to their blue color. Moreover, Enfield Shores is a big area south of the Royal Highlands, where you can easily find these Blue Crabs. However, you might find some of the Blue Crabs inside the Amber crystals. You need to break these crystals before you can catch them.

How to Catch Blue Crab in Palia

Catching the Blue Crab is easier than most bugs that roam freely in Royal Highlands. Upon finding a Blue Crab, use the Smoke Bombs to stun it.

Additionally, stunning the Blue Crab will require a couple of Smoke Bombs, so make sure you bring enough to stun it when you find it. If the Blue Crab gets alerted, it will try to flee in a straight line before burying into the ground. It is best to throw the Sticky Smoke Bombs on it to slow it down and then use the regular Smoke Bombs to stun it. Once you have stunned the Blue Crab, go near it and interact with it to pick it up.

NOTE: There is a chance you might run into an Amber-touched Blue Crab, which has an Amber around it.

Catching the Amber-touched Blue Crab will drop more Amber Echo. However, if you do not have the Echo Tracker, you will not get Amber Echo from catching Blue Crab or any other bug. Echo Tracker is a special relic that Eshelon gives during the “A Stitch in Time” quest.

Uses of Blue Crab in Palia

The main use of Blue Crab is to use it as a crafting ingredient for Belafontine’s Blessing V Relic. Other than that, players can sell Blue Crab for 24 Gold (Base) or 36 Gold (Star-Quality) to Zeki or at the Shipping Bin. Moreover, you can also gift it to certain villagers who like it or those who need it. So, if you can find any Blue Crabs, store one in the storage so you can give one to the villagers who need it. The villagers’ needs change every week, so it is better to keep an eye on them.
