Where to find secret boss Topoda in Another Crab's Treasure (Location)
There are many bosses to fight in the ocean, but some are better hidden than others. Check out where to find and fight the secret boss, Topoda, in Another Crab's Treasure and you'll get a very useful skill.
To start the journey and find the boss, you have to go through Curd Village. If you have unlocked the Village Gates Moon Snail, go there and go back into the village. This way you will avoid most of the enemies (except the big hammer crab and sniper).

Since the sniper usually overpowers me and destroys my health, I always suggest just running past it, or skipping it in this case. Be prepared to get hit a few times before you do it. Just keep going and be careful don't fall off the cliff or you'll have to deal with the crab again.
How to beat Grovekeeper Topoda in Another Crab's Treasure
Once you get past all the enemies along the way, you'll face Grovekeeper Topoda. Compared to other bosses, he it's not too hard to win
During the first stage of the battle, he will mostly be swinging at you with his tail or hitting you with his hands. The most dangerous attack is the chained fist attack. You'll know it's coming when he comes right up to you, straightens up, and pulls his arms back in preparation. If you get hurt a lot, there is a Cascadia Roll on the ground that you can use to heal, but I suggest bringing the Yoccult shell with you to have a constant flow of healing.
The second phase is the difficult one. He will lift up a a cloud of sand so you can't see and surprise attacks you. You can use one of the many Crab Shell Shells which are in the battle area as a decoy while you attack Topoda.
After you defeat him, Topoda expects you to kill him, but Kril won't. In gratitude, Topoda will give you the Mantis Puncha powerful adaptation that can be used to break purple blocks scattered throughout the ocean.
Topoda is even more helpful because you can come to him at any time raise your adaptations. For a certain amount of crystals, you can upgrade them to level three. He'll also have a Moon Snail Shell teleport right next to him, so you can come back whenever you have enough crystals for an upgrade.
