How to beat Pagurus the Ravenous easily with the Banana Peel strat  

If you keep the soda can at the end of your fork and hit Pagurus a couple of times with it before he eats the banana peel, the soda can will get damaged. It's a small advantage but still it's better to fight with an undamaged soda can at your back.

The developers said somewhere that they fixed this. But I didn't try it myself so maybe it is still doable.

@@tembelektuel it is in fact patched

Did you still get loot/achievement as if you killed him, think a friend said he locked himself out using this and I wanted to ask

@@chriswihulu I received the map piece and was able to progress. I guess your friend got stuck when bobbit worm bug was doable. This method did not affect my playthrough.

@@tembelektuel I think it was less about overall progression, but more related to the boss specifically. Never was able to replicate it myself, less so now that it's been patched, but wanted to hear if what he experienced was known by others.

That's far more impressive. Great job defeating it without making it eat the banana peel!

That's a pretty good idea! 2 Banana Peels will be the easiest way. I'll try this one if I'll start a new game.

@@tembelektuel I believe you can use the trait that as the icon of a broken mug repaired at the end of a skill tree branch which replaces your shell for a extra shell for him to eat and if you combine all three techniques he’ll eat three bananas

@@user-zk1bj3mk2o That trait will be useful too, in case Pagurus will break your banana shell instead of eating it first. By the way, 2 banana peels kills it surely.

Ah I didn't know that; cool idea! Before it was fixed, it could be fed to the bobbit worm in this area, but now you can't do it.

You can also have Pagurus eat 2 banana peels. Keep one of the banana peels at the tip of your fork. After Pagurus will eat the first one on your back, then equip the 2nd banana peel and have him eat it too. You won't need to lay a finger on Pagurus this way as eating 2 banana peals will kill him.

@@tembelektuel thanks

If you mean how to attach the Soda Can to your fork, you need to have "Scrap Hammer" skill first. Then, use a charge attack on a "Soda Can" so it will become attached to the end of your fork. I haven't showed that on the video but it's easy. You can pause at 0:09 and read the description about the "Scrap Hammer" too. If you are referring to another boss, I haven't playet till the end yet so I don't know :)

Oh now I get it. To take the hammer's head off; you can press triangle or Y button long to take of your shell first. Then you can press down button on the d-pad to put the shell attached to your fork to your back.

🤣

I read it from somewhere that one of the npcs mentions it but not sure which one. Great job beating him the souls way!

Theres an NPC hidden in Flotsam Vale, a shrimp stuck in a bong on a hidden path you need to press a switch to open. The switch moves an arm holding a giant block of trash, and the shrimp stuck in the bong needs the Mantis Punch to break out- hes the one who tells you about Pagurus's banana allergy

Your way is the true souls way though. This strat is like calling mimic tear and watching it tear the boss apart 😁.
