Palia: Where to Find & Catch Spineshell Crab

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. One of the uncommon bugs that players can catch is a Spineshell Crab which Einar currently needs. This guide will focus on where you can find and how you can catch the Spineshell Crab in Palia.

Where to Find Spineshell Crab in Palia

The Spineshell Crab is one of the uncommon bugs in the game that spawns at any time on the Bahari Coast and the Flooded Fortress. The eastern areas (Bahari Coast) have a higher chance of spawning it such as Coral Shores, Lighthouse Lagoon, and Beachcomber Cove.

How to Catch Spineshell Crab in Palia

Catching the Spineshell Crab is easier than other bugs as it moves slowly in a straight line on the ground. They are easy to spot and while running through the coastal areas of Bahari Bay, keep your eyes on the ground.

Additionally, stunning the Spineshell Crab will require multiple Smoke Bombs so, make sure you bring enough to stun it when you find it. If the Spineshell Crab gets alerted, it will try to flee away before burrowing 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.

After stunning the Spineshell Crab, simply go near it and interact with it to pick it up. The Spineshell Crab also has a chance of dropping Bluebell Flower when picked up.

Uses of Spineshell Crab

Spineshell Crab is one of the mandatory requirements to complete the Old Friends quest for Chayne. Moreover, you can sell it for 46 Gold (Base) and 69 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. Einar needs a Spineshell Crab until October 13, 2024, so if you have caught one, bring it to him.
