Map locations of all shells in Another Crab’s Treasure
If you are still stuck on where to find all 69 shells, I have included maps below of each location you can find that specific shell. Many of these, like the Soda Can, have many locations, so there are other places you can find them as well. Others will be dropped from specific bosses or might have to be purchased from inside the shell store in town.

1. Home
This is your shell, the whole point of this adventure. You have it at the beginning of the game, and then you lose it to a loan shark. You regain your Home shell by completing the game.

2. Soda Can
Soda cans are strewn all over the place in Another Crab’s Treasure, but the first place you can find them is in Nephro’s arena, all over the ground and in the vending machine.
3. Bottle Cap
There is a Bottle Cap on the top of Slacktide’s castle, on one of the carboard balconies you need to pass through. This is another lightweight shell with lower defense.
4. Tin Can
In the area heading out of Slacktide Castle, you can find a Tin Can shell on the rusty aqueducts. This can has a much higher defense than anything you’ve seen in the game yet, and it is only medium in weight, which makes it a great swap for whatever you are using in the early game.
5. Shot Glass
Once you are in the Moon Caves, you can find the first Shot Glass Shell near the first shortcut. There will be a crab wielding a Q-Tip nearby. There are several other shot glasses in the area as well.
6. Banana Peel
The Banana Peel appears west of the Nephro fight, in the sand. This is a lighter weight shell with less defense than the others. The Munch Umami power is pretty helpful in this area.
7. Party Hat
This shell is located in a rock with a hair-comb wielding crab in the Moon Caves. This is the first shell I found that had a bonus on it; the Party Hat gives you additional MSG, which is little wave icon on its stats.
8. Coconut
You can find the coconut in the courtyard of Fort Slacktide? where there are two lobster knights; this can be found only after claiming the pearl.

The first teacup shell I found was in Dushess Magistra’s arena where you fight her after returning with the Pearl. There are several on the floor located around the fighting area.

This one is found along the route to get to the Big City; it can be found after killing crabs in Reef’s End. It’s in a couple of other places, but this was the first one I found.

This classic paper cup design is dropped by the after killing the boss of Sands Between, Pagurus, The Ravenous. He will be wandering about in this location, chasing down any intruder to take them out.

A Tennis Ball can be found at the top of the ramp made of street signs in Reef’s End where the NPC talks to you about speed. This will be used to roll down the ramp, so you really can’t miss this one.
14. F
There appears to only be one of these in the whole game. It can be found in New Carcinia, one the sign for the Shellfish Desires. Look up at the sign and use the grappling hook in order to pull it down.

The Salt Shaker has the same Shards Umami power as the Shot Glass and Mason Jar shells. You can find it near the Upper Swamp Moon Snail Shell in Flotsam Vale.

23. Matryoshka (M)
The medium Matryoshka is located inside of the large Matryoshka; you need to use the Decoy Umami power of the large one to get the smaller version of it. Each time you use it, your doll shell will get a little bit smaller, which means the next shell is found the same way.
24. Matryoshka (S)
The small Matryoshka shell is found inside the medium Matryoshka shell, which is found inside of the large one. In order to get the smallest one, you need to use the Decoy Umami power of the large one, then use the Decoy power of the medium one.

50. Gacha Capsule
You can find a Gacha Capsule in the Mouth of the Drain. It will still be there even after the cutscene, so don’t worry if you missed it the first time. Just head through the Moon Snail Shell here and look on the island you fast travel to.
