To complete a full trek in Crab God and see your new Crabling heir ascend to the aquatic throne, farming and gathering food for that journey is essential. However, it’s not just how many Plants and Corals you grow, but how high you level them. Here’s our handy guide on how to get your Plants and Corals to Level 3 in Crab God.
How to grow and upgrade Plants and Corals in Crab God
growing up Plants and Corals at each level in Crab God is one of the fundamental tasks of your Crablings, because they are the key to get food that will allow you to progress deeper into the ocean. As soon as the stage starts, you should have at least two Gardeners began to grow a diverse variety of Plants and Corals in each chosen one green block space (as seen below).
The more Plants and Corals you sow into the sands, sea creatures of all kinds will begin to appear and establish a population. By “living” there, the creatures will feast on what you’ve grown, which will then produce chunks food that your Scavenger Crablings can be collected and placed in the storeroom of the Temple of the Tide.
The more creatures you attract, the more Food you will produce at a consistent rate, which is especially important at deeper levels where the Food requirement becomes steeper. To ensure that you establish as many different creatures as possible, you must grow as many different Plants and Corals as you canwhich means maximizing the green spaces you are allowed to use.
Fortunately, there is a great trick to increase the number of a certain Plant or Coral without compromising space, and that is upgrade your existing ones. Provided you have the favor available, have yours Gardener Crablings upgrade your water crops to Level 2 (as many as possible). Every time you upgrade a Plant or Coral, its number will increase by one. In other words, a Level 2 Sea Anemone counts as two of them.
How to upgrade your Plants and Corals to Level 3 in Crab God
As you reach the deeper levels of Crab God and need more food and thus more sea creatures to migrate to help produce it, you will need to be able to upgrade your Plants and Corals even further. While you can upgrade any existing one to Level 2 by default, there is something you will need to do to be able to increase that upgrade to Level 3.
On every stage, you will notice that there is Ritual Stoneswhich must be first cleaned by Fan Crabling. Once done, you’ll need to complete the tasks required by the Ritual Stone to activate it, which usually involves providing it with a certain amount of Food or Favor or setting certain sea creatures on stage.
Once you have completed those tasks, you can activate the Ritual Stone and one of the first Blessings it will offer is the “Upgrade Revelation” (seen above), which allows you to upgrade Plants and Corals to Level 3. Choose this, and it will be a permanent buff for the rest of that run. Once you have that, your Gardener Crablings can upgrade any Plants and Corals to Level 3, as long as you have enough Favor available.
