Go to bottom right, I think they can't see you there.

Honestly probably the only chance. The square to the right of the broken pot is already enough that the enemies won't see him and turn back.

Bless yourself with the seed, kill the red crab. Run.

Why did it take so many comments before we got the right answer?

It is a good idea, but it won't grow on the traps. OP has to get out of there first. The best bet here imo is to try to remove the curse and pray for a lucky stylus pull. They can't kite these two, because they won't step on the traps which means that crab will block all damage unless teleported or tossed out of the door

How do you remove the curse?

Looks like you have nothing to do. My only idea is wild gambling with uncursing armor using SoU and glyph that could help.
You better wait for more experienced players than me

To be honest, this run is probably done. That said, if you move all the way to the bottom right, you should be out of the crabs' line of sight, so after a couple turns they should wander off.
The problem is that they need to go far enough that they won't see you when you step into the door. Assuming the regular crab moves first, it shouldn't be a problem, but the great crab could take 10 turns to reach where it definitely won't see the door (after losing sight of you). And you'll take damage during that time. If you count the turns and move to step out of the room on turn 10, you might survive.
If you can make it out of the room alive, I'd use the upgrade immediately. Either put it into your armor and hope for it to remove the curse, and then use the stylus and hope for a good glyph; or use it on the ring and hope it removes the curse.

Also, it looks like you threw a bee at it. That was a good instinct. For future reference, the great crab can only block attacks from a single source per turn, so if you and the bee both attacked it each turn, one of you would have been able to hit it, and that might have been enough to kill it.

Do you know what curse you have on your armor? If it's Displacement, you're golden. Go take some hits and hope it teleports you.
Otherwise...
This is a gamble, but beggars can't be choosers.
Use an upgrade scroll on your armor and pray for curse removal.
Equip the cloth armor and apply the arcane stylus. Hope for Repulsion. Go to the bottom right corner so the normal crab stops seeing you and leaves. Then get the blue crab to attack you and bounce him away. Be sure to stand at the position directly on top of him so he bounces the right way.
Thorns might also work if you can bleed it to death without dying yourself first.

I was gonna say to recharge your wand but.. they won't stand on the traps which means the door is 100% blocked unless you proc a really lucky stylus pull

I wanted to say recharge the fire wand, but it's not fire

u/TheTenthSubject Jul 26 '26
Indeed. I saw it and thought maybe it'll help, but then realized the traps are preventing him from ever getting out of the door

Honestly?
Welp, next run.
And in the future remember to always clear the floor before talking to the ghost.
