Fun fact: topoda is actually a peacock mantis shrimp, a crustacean infamous for having one of the strongest punches in the animal kingdom. The mantis shrimp preys on clams and other prey along the seabed, and will use its extremely strong frontal claws to punch through tough clam shells, disorient fish before feeding, and deter predators. Their colorful shells serve as a warning to predators, in a similar way that some butterflies and frogs have bright colors to warn predators. The males are known to be more vibrant than the more red females in order to attract mates, and it’s not uncommon for two males to compete for a mate by boxing, often leading to the death of one or both of the males

Another Crab's Treasure, can shake hands, or at least weird hand and crab claw, with another semi-Soulslike from 2023 on those fronts of creativity, expressiveness and combat, one by name of Clash: Artifacts of Chaos. It's not as strong or daring on the exploration/traversal front, but does have amazing music and atmosphere. Plus a very unique setting and art style. Inhabitants look like they could be designed by Stan Winston Studios for a Dark Crystal-type movie-- wonderfully ugly in a world that barely has organized culture, yet has a lot of color, beauty, some funny parts and melancholy amidst all the punching-the-snot-out-of-each-other with different findable Martial Arts styles of the world. Greatly recommend looking up the game, or at least check out the soundtrack. Two of the earliest tracks, The Boy Calls and Pseudo's Theme, are already super strong to set the tone of the rest of the game.

From what I know, the devs have planned a Roadmap, but they want to focus on fixing up major bugs before they settle on adding new content ^^

another cool thing about Pagurus is that his name comes from his species scientific classification, cancer pagurus. he also has a bobbit worm beneath the eyepatch that comes out after he reaches below half health which i feel like is either parasitic as the bobbit demands sustenance, or symbiotic as the bobbit benefits from his endless hunger

Unfortunately, it was until after I beat the final boss that I found Topoda (I didnt see the hooks at the end of the village going higher up). Now I am too overpowered to enjoy the optional bosses behind the purple bricks, and I got to clean up all the collectibles I missed. Also, an endurance build with a valve shell means you can block mostly everything aside from red aggro attacks (you can even block blue aggro attacks sometimes), combine this with the Isopod stowaway (or two if you can find them), and you can zoom around the battlefield blocking everything

For Voltai you could unplug the appliances with the spear fishing ability

Hell yeah! So stoked for this!

The music really elevated this game for me. First, let me start off with Praya Dubias second theme. You're fighting a boss, which has endured all of the oceans pain, fury, and suffering, and this boss is tearing itself apart in an attempt to inflict some suffering on you. the music is amazing, it sounds as if you can truly feel dubia wailing. it still gives me chills every time i hear it. Also, voltai may be a pushover of a boss, and yet her theme fits her so perfectly. its like you can hear the electricity coursing through the track itself. this game is a masterpiece.

Just got around to playing this game. Such an amazing game that really hold its own. The gameplay, the art style, the comedy. You can tell the developers really put a lot of love and care into their product. Also, props to them for all putting so many easter eggs and references for you to run into while exploring.

if u explore flotsam vale u will find a guy named shromp stuck in a beaker and you break him out with the mantis punch, after that he will tell you that pagarus is allergic to bananas. if you try blocking while pagarus does his grab attack he will eat just your shell, if u are wearing a banana it will take 3/4 of his health, if you have another banana on your fork you can swap it to your shell and make him eat that too, then pagarus will be dead and you will barely have to do anything

This video made me realize I played completely differently then others like for instance you said you want to learn Topeda’s parry timings but the only way I found to beat him was to learn the timings and slowly whittling his health down

Pagurus was my pre patch General Radahn and I wasn't leaving until he was dead. The gratification of beating him, under leveled on a first run was so rewarding. And it really forged my play style for most of the rest of the game

I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH! Im so glad somebody appreciates topoda as much as I do I absolutely loved him- unfortunately I didn't end up wandering around to find him I actually had to go out of my way to find him after finding out you could upgrade your umami abilities.. which tbh made the fight all the better knowing he wouldnt die afterwards HAHAH

i love nephro, im at the flotsam battle right now but him randomly popping up when i had nothing and saying some pretty cool lines was a nice suprise.

A neat bit about the Praya Dubia fight: Friendly fire is turned on. You can make Praya attack their minions, and even themselves in the second phase. A neat bit about restoring shell health: you can overheal, just a bit. Once you've unlocked it, if you have healable shell health, but your attack does enough damage that the health you would gain is bigger than whatever healable shell health you have, you heal for the damage the attack does, not just what's supposed to be healable. So if you have a shell that's really damaged that you want to keep, you can grind and heal it back to full. You take a weak attack that just barely damages your shell, then hit them with a big attack to heal more than the healable bar. Then you just repeat until either the enemy is dead or your shell's back at 100. I mostly noticed it happening with hammer attacks.

Had a crazy glitch happen when fighting topoda when he went for a slam move he somehow clipped through the floor and died I was relived but sad since I wanted to beat him with my skills but this game was something I didn’t know I needed and it was definitely a fun time all the way through. What an amazing game🙌🏾 Also being able to hook/fish enemies is so good honestly my favorite mechanic in the game such an OP move especially when paired with the Manits shrimp punch.

I don’t know if I got that one, but I did get grabbed by magista several times and then she kept spinning around until I restarted the game 😂

The fact Inkerton is a very big bloodborne reference makes me love this game even more and makes me wanna buy the game even more, I wanted to get it because of the gorgeous gameplay, amazing atmosphere, and the characters are likeable enough! but the fact Inkerton has a trick weapon, a gun, and has that lovecraftian look to him, I'm gonna get this game!

i actually had such a weirdly hard time with the diseased lichenthrope that i deliberately sort of bugged my way out of fighting him. i'm not sure if he is truly optional but i went around him in such a radius that when i accidentally activated him, i was outside the boss force field thing that keeps you in the area lol. i got to swim to the other side while watching him try to come after me and getting stuck on the force field wall, it was pretty funny. then i came back later and obliterated him

Inkerton's actual battle was DEFINITELY my favorite fight. I think I can honestly say that his fight was where I found my stride with successful parrying. Granted, it still took me a good amount of time to defeat him, the quick and snappy pace of the fight really helped me, and will help me loads with future playthroughs of the game.

Probably my favorite aspect of Pagurus's boss fight is that other enemies can get mixed up in the fight depending on where you are. In particular, Pagurus is able to grab other enemies and eat them, which gives a very large window to go in and deal a solid chunk of damage while he's preoccupied. The fight as a whole I feel is super fun and intense to go through, and his ability to grab enemies was an added layer that enabled me to beat him on my second try straight out of Flotsam Vale with no Adaptation upgrades. Really cool fight, easily in my top 3

While my partner was fighting Pagurus, he accidentally tripped a sand worm and it ate Pagurus. Boss fight was over too soon

Pagarus is probably hungry because he has a worm inside of him that is seen behind his spoon eyepatch

14:40 there is actually another way that this boss could've been dealt with much easier with the Ring-A-Ding ability of the Champagne Flute you could just continuously stun and hit him to get the umami charge back. (It has since been patched since but that is something you could've done before the patch)

I fought the Consortium and Intimidation crab before getting adaptations and I never fought the early Inkerson fight. I was wondering why things were so hard at the start haha.

Inkerton has to be my favorite character from this game. His design, his personality, his voice acting! AAAAH! So cool! Glad to see him so high up on the list! Apparently, he's a BIG Bloodborne reference, which flew over my head!

27:16 You can also feed pagurus to the worms in the area, Killing him instantly, The eater has become the eaten.

i fought Pagurus before Flotsam because i saw the map in his claw and got unique dialogue from the museum owner for doing things out of order

Voltaic actually has a fourth weapon that creates shockwaves. And you can unplug the weapons, wich adds a bit of variety to the fight.

Petroch is the game's mimic. :D Topoda is my favourite. :) He's the one that got me really playing with defensive options. Parrying isn't my forte, so against his big swings I'd use the backstep-counterattack combo. Turned out to work really well. When he threw his flurries at me, I just shelled up in my thimble with Fortify. On a related note, Fortify was bugged when I faced Heikea. The invulnerability did not end after three hits, allowing me to block indefinitely. I thought something was weird during the fight, but only realised what was happening when I beat him. Also, assuming a Japanese pronunciation, Heikea is probably pronounced Hey-keh-ah. With Firth, I strangely didn't have a big problem fighting him. Did it on the first try. Tactical Tentacle was my friend. :)

Every time you mentioned a strategy to beat a boss using the shell spells and adaptations, I thought about how i fought every boss really only using the parry, and only later the gun adaptation. I dont think I used the shell spells at all.

@BillySYT

Ай бұрын

It shows that, despite the game having a relatively slim amount of techniques to play around with, they do enhance each person's playthrough in vastly different ways ^^

I tried to fight Pagurus right away, after abou1 hour of trying I did some exploration running away from him and found that nice sand worm ability, that i immediatly used to slay him - great time! sadly after that I felt pretty overpowered against the next bosses like Heikea

I beat Pagurus after getting the map piece in the Expired Grove and found him easier than Heikea, who took me around 20 attempts. Pagurus, however, took me only around 5 attempts. There's even a special interaction if you bring the map piece Pagurus drops to the museum curator.

Great watch and certainly an interesting ranking. Shows how much playstyle can affect ones impression of the bosses. I for myself am a more thorough gamer, meaning I usually try to get all the goodies there are, without looking them up on some walkthrough before completing the main quest. So usually I get like 95% of the stuff and might be a bit stronger. So Pagurus for example would be a boss I'd rank quite a bit lower, since you are even supposed to fight him after Flotsam Vale, but I beat the poor fella on my first try right after finishing the grove. And considering he was supposed to be such a menace and generally cool in concept, he just disappointed me in terms of difficulty. Roland and Camtscha on the other hand, I'd absolutely rank in the top 3 since even when you got a good build going, they have some attacks in their arsenal to still be challenging.

You can actually cheese Pagurus by walking to the edge of the map if you take a left right outside of the safety and just continue to lure him off the edge and it’ll insta kill

i really hope they bring a 2nd out or awesome dlcs for this because this was fun and very entertaining while being a little difficult! i loved it so damn much

In the Praya Dubia second fight, you can also exploit the friendly fire of their attacks to deal extra damage to the boss the same way those same attacks can deal damage to the crab enemies in the first phase. You need to stay close to the boss constantly tho so it's very "high risk, high reward".

@BillySYT

Ай бұрын

Ah, fascinating. So speedrunners who want to end the fight quicker will likely want to stick close to the boss to get that extra damage in. Nice bit of tech, that.

Voltai has a 4th weapon, in which all she does is her chin attacks that generate a shockwave of electricity. You might have killed her before she had the chance to use it or she may have used an appliance twice. I went to her fight under leveled so it took longer than necessary allowing me to see her full kit

Now we need a worm souls where you fight off bird bosses

Firth was extremely disappointing for me when I fought him, I had a maxed damage stat, fork, and bobbit trap so I just used 2 bobbit traps per phase and never got below half health, fought him twice in a row without even coming close to dying

27:00 not only that but each peel deals over half his health.

Leave it to this video to realize a bunch of these bosses expected me to use shell powers to gain an advantage on the boss, instead of my maneuver of throwing myself at the boss until I learned all of its attack patterns and timing and become able to survive long enough to kill them (I mean, a maxxed out skill tree half way through definitely helped) Also good list, I can't really say which boss stood out to me on top as I really enjoyed andstruggled with a lot of them, but Firth and Topeda are definitely high up

Yes, the Souls inspired combat baits a lot of people in to dodging everything, but it's actually a fairly suboptimal strategy in this game, especially if you don't change the controls so that holding dodge isn't also sprinting (the default setting adds extra input delay to the dodge, as the game has to confirm if you are holding down the button or not). If you embrace the mentality of "Right shell for the right enemy", a LOT of things in the game become very easy. The one that made me realize i was playing the entire game wrong was Voltai. First few times the boss seemed near impossible. Then i looked up the rubber band. I was then incredibly frustrated with the boss, still, as i was thinking "Why the HELL do i HAVE to get this hard to reach item, to even be able to fight this boss??!?!?". Until i realized the fairly obvious: I just had to use the Rubber Duck shell. That was it, now every time i blocked, she did nothing to me.

I wonder, once the patches come out, if any new bosses will come out. EX fights would be lovely, especially for Voltai, but what new creatures could be used. One of the things I loved was the general avoidance of a shark as a fight, so what next. An Angler fish that uses status effects like fear or even an opposite to attract you close, an octopus that uses several tools unlike Inkerton only using two, a Pom pom crab that cheers on its minions while wielding gunk filled anemones, the possibilities are endless

so im actually on the final boss right now and i think i did a really good job exploring and leveling up but i guess not because every boss has been a significant challenge for me. I think I like it quite a bit this way.

dude i was NOT ready to get jumped by inkerton

I’m very surprised the Ceviche sisters got as high as they were. I deleted their health bar in under a minute

Playing through the game at level 0 made me realize how incredible of a boss Camstcha is. Most of the late game bosses suffer from the fact that you're just SO powerful by that point in the game, but without that strength Camstcha not only poses a fun challenge, but is also an insanely fun boss both gameplay and design wise.

I cheesed (pun intended) my way into the consortium fight before getting the mantis claw adaptation

The water mines are actually the sea urchin adaptation

The banana thing for pagarus is real, theres an npc in flotsam you can save from a bottle that tells you about it I used this info to beat pagarus before doing pretty much anything in flotsam because it deals like 70% of his hp

Honestly, I forgot the dude in the bottle existed, because I went to Flotsam before I got the Mantis Punch.

So i used the grapple a lot because it builds a ton of stun and I learned using it on Inkerton doesn't work because he just cuts the wire and immediately attacks you

Okay now THAT is extremely cool - I need to test that on my next playthrough.

This game was fantastic, I just have to get the rest of the shells and use the gun and I will have the 100%. I love the twist of making a brighter game, looking forward to what this company does in the future

It definitely put Aggro Crab on my radar as a company I want to watch. Good luck getting the rest of those shells!

Definitely play Going Under then. I've been waiting for this game since that came out.

Praya Dubia took me 5 cycles dang you did it in 2

I'm curious though. Do you plan on ranking Lords of the Fallen (2023) ? Since lies of P came that year as well and you've ranked it on your channel so I thought you may have played it. But great video as always. Keep it up.

I was waiting until I got a PS5 to give it a try, but that'll probably be a ways away for the moment. My PC, while good, can't run modern games to the quality I'd want.

@@BillySYT Oh ok. No problem then. Because I've played myself and it's pretty good actually. You won't be disappointed :)

@@omarkumar8036 Clash: Artifacts of Chaos is a good one too. Not a full Souls-like or a game i'd outright classify as one, but you can recognize some of that genre's DNA and is a solid and memorable game in its own right. The design of Pseudo (the main character) can attest to that.

I just parried the Ceviche Sisters shots from afar, it took a while but rather easy

The prawn with guns are known as pistol shrimp.

Hey what is that spin attack you do? Looks really powerful but I don’t know how to use it.

The one I used against Camtscha? It's a shell spell called Twist Top. Otherwise, I have no idea which attack you're talking about lmao

I unfortunately found Topoda after I beat Firth and was very upset to learn that he could upgrade my adaptations. Wouldve been so useful to find him earlier lol

28:00 You don't actually need Mantis Punch to get to this boss. I believe the block you broke is just one of two blocking a short cut, and while I could be misremembering that I do know I was able to access it before having the Mantis punch

Inkerton is my favorite boss and character in this game, I love his design, I love his species, I love his fighting style, I love his backstory, I love that he’s this Rockefeller union buster, and to top it all off he’s voiced by my favorite VA, SeigaVA!

topoda and helkea were my top 1 and 2, some seriously fun boss fights

2 things, 1. I loved this game as this was me second ever souls like and it’s a great game for beginners and I loved the music and the fighting 2. Lies of P is one of my favorite games and when you played feel it made me sad as it’s one of my favorite songs of any ost

Hii , you can actually unplug voltais appliances with the fishing line which makes her even easier

Heartbreaking scenes for poor Voltai

2:33 IT’S A MICROPHONE IT IS A MICROPHONE

I feel bad, because I slew Pagurus before the Grove and Flotsam. I got scolded by Konche for killing him early xD

I didn't know there was a Inkerton encounter before his real fight. I never got that fight xD

Huh, curious as to how that happened - I figured it was an unmissable fight.
