Where to find secret boss “The Consortium” in Another Crab's Treasure (Location)
The Consortium is a secret boss in Another Crab's Treasure located in the Flotsam Vale. However, you cannot access it through this area. Instead, you have to go to the Oil Drum Moon Snail Shell.
Head the opposite way from the Curdled village to find the purple Umami block, which blocks the way to The Consortium. To break the block, you need the Mantis Punch adaptation If you don't have it yet, then you have to win Grovekeeper Topoda first. Once you do that, return to this area and destroy the cube.

Once you get through it, a path will be revealed to you. Climb up to the right, and you'll finally be on the platforms I've been trying to climb for what feels like forever in the Grove. Be careful here, as it is many enemies that can knock you down and force you back.
This path will take you to Flotsam Vale and The Consortium. Get ready for a pretty unique fight, as this boss is a cage full of crabs.
How to Beat The Consortium in Another Crab's Treasure
You might think you have to hit the crabs inside the cage, but instead, you'll have to aim for the green ropes. Each of these ropes has its own health bar, and you'll need to destroy each one to defeat The Consortium boss.
This boss loves to get over you and then strike, doing a lot of damage. You will have to work hard to stay out of the way. It is two hooks in this area you should use to move around because The Consortium is quite fast. Use them to reach the top of the cage and attack the ropes on top that way.
You can still get shot and hit when above the boss, so watch out for attacks as you destroy the ropes. I prefer to use the Bubble Bullet Adaptation in this fight, as it allows me to deal damage from a distance. This keeps you out of immediate danger and gives you plenty of time to get out of the way of any incoming attacks. However, make sure you're locked onto one of the ropes when attacking, or you'll take no damage. When it comes to shells, I always prefer to have extra health with the Yoccult shell anyway.
After you defeat the Consortium, you will receive the Tactical Tentacle adaptation which quickly became one of my favorites. As you attack with the fork, the Umami tentacle will also cut the enemies, helping you defeat them.
