This fish was an unexpected find for a Stowaway, so this is a PSA for Another Crab’s Treasure players that you can get a pet fish!
Yes, you can pet your pet fish in Another Crab’s Treasure
While playing through the main story of this colorful underwater Soulslike, I visited the Expired Grove and came across a mini-boss named Diseased Lichenthrope. Sometime after I had beaten the difficult creature, I found a Stowaway called Chum. I thought this would act as any other Stowaway, but in fact when you activate Chum you’ll get a little fish to follow you around!
This is a PSA for anyone player Another Crab’s Treasure to beat the Diseased Lichenthrope so you can get a pet fish. Wherever I go, they go, and if they disappear for some reason they’ll return to me when I enter and exit a Moon Snail Shell. It requires 20 Vitality to equip, but by this point, I already had that stat high enough.
Not only can you pet the lil’ guy, but they’ll also help fight enemies alongside you. If you notice that your fish isn’t around you, they’re probably attacking a nearby enemy. They don’t hit very hard, but I don’t mind.
When I first acquired Chum I equipped the Stowaway before even thinking about it, leading me to seeing Chum follow me around and wondering where he came from. House later I was looking back at my Stowaways and noticed that Chum was just a Stowaway and not a random fish I just found.
You’ll get the chance to explore the Expired Grove once you reach New Carcinia and reach the point in the story where you’re on a hunt to find buried treasure. The treasure is in this Expired Grove somewhere, so it seems like the Diseased Lichenthrope is a non-missable mini-boss.
Nevertheless, it’s nice to see a surprise like this pop up in a game where I thought I was going to be on this adventure alone. Now I can turn to my fish at any point and pet them! Other than this cute pet, you can acquire or hire Stowaways to buff yourself for future fights.
