To obtain the Abyssal Shovel, you need to defeat the King Crab boss. Here’s how to find him:

Location

  • Start at Fox Town
  • Exit through the path near the Magnet Merchant NPC

  • Continue until you reach the Cinder Shores area
  • Look for the Mechanic NPC, the King Crab spawns nearby on the shoreline

Defeating the King Crab isn’t too difficult, but you’ll need to avoid its attacks and play smart:

  • Watch for red circles: These indicate where rocks will fall. If you’re hit, you’ll die and be sent back to Fox Town.
  • Bring a group: The fight is easier and quicker with multiple players attacking the boss at once.
  • Use charms: Equip any Boss Damage charms to increase your output.
  • Watch your health: Stay mobile and don’t risk greedy hits if you’re low.

The King Crab has 35,000 HP, making it one of the easier world bosses, especially compared to the Phantom.

Despite its low Haste, the Abyssal Shovel is considered overpowered for many players thanks to its high Strength and Luck stats. The low Haste means it punishes missed strikes more than other shovels, but if you’re accurate with your hits, it performs extremely well, especially in boss fights.

Should You Use It?

The Abyssal Shovel is ideal if:

  • You’re confident in your digging accuracy
  • You want a shovel with strong Boss Damage and Luck
  • You’re focused on Rock-type digging zones

If you struggle with timing or cooldowns from missed hits, consider trying something like the Candlelight Shovel, which offers more forgiveness in timing.
