Encounters-Giant Crabs

[goon2]

Help! I came across Giant Crabs at one of those random encounters (this one occurred whilst going to Moorbridge Mashes from Ferdok). None of my weapons are able to deliver more than 1 or 2 damage to the crab. My party always ended up getting trashed! How do you kill those Giant Crabs?

I remember the crabs as being tough but not impossible or anything. Have you tried using magic spells or special combat moves against them?

Yes i did. Casting thunderbolts seemed to do the most damage-but still only about 8 or so. But those Crabs have high hit points! And their armour class must be way up high. Weapons just seem to score 0 damage frequently!!

Well, those random encounters on the world map are random (both in what you face and if you face anything), so if you have a save in Ferdok before leaving, you can always load it and try traveling to Moorbridge again. There are crabs in Moorbridge, but you'll only face them one at a time there.

Yes i did save just before i left Ferdok. I guess i will have to try again, moving from Ferdok to Moorbridge. And hope the crabs don't randomly appear again. I just can't seem to kill those crabs. I think i need more powerful weapons. And also to bump up my spellcaster.
Many thanks.
