Everything is Crab might look silly at first glance, but once you start chasing every achievement, the game becomes surprisingly challenging. Some achievements unlock naturally just by playing, while others require very specific builds, weird strategies, or even a bit of luck. A few can honestly become frustrating if you do not know exactly what the game expects from you.
This guide goes over every current achievement in the game along with useful tips to make the grind much easier. Whether you are trying to finish your final challenge runs or just want help finding rare achievements, this should help save a lot of time.
Tutorial Achievement
Weeeee back!
Complete the tutorial.
This is the very first achievement most players unlock automatically. Simply finish the opening tutorial section and it will pop immediately.
Stat Achievements
These achievements mostly focus on building certain stats high enough during a run.
Chonkers
Reach 200% Size.
You can get this naturally by choosing evolutions that increase your body size repeatedly throughout a run. Prioritize tanky upgrades and size boosts whenever possible.
Dechonked
Reach 40% Size.
This is basically the opposite of Chonkers. Instead of growing larger, focus on upgrades that reduce size or avoid taking size increases entirely.
Smaller builds can actually become pretty strong because they are easier to maneuver.
Dodgy
Reach 75% Dodge.
Dodge-focused builds are extremely strong for survival runs. Prioritize agility upgrades and avoid bulky defensive evolutions that lower dodge chances.
You Show Speed
Reach Speed 12 or higher during a run.
Movement speed upgrades stack surprisingly well in Everything is Crab. If you fully commit to a speed build early, this achievement becomes pretty manageable.
Damage Achievements
These achievements require dealing massive amounts of damage during a single run.
Brute
Deal 20,000 damage in one run.
Bruter
Deal 35,000 damage in one run.
Brutest
Deal 50,000 damage in one run.
These usually come naturally once you reach higher Pressure levels and survive long enough. Damage-over-time builds and fast attack evolutions help a lot here.
Ultrabonk
Deal 500 damage with a single hit.
This achievement becomes much easier using heavy-hitting evolution paths that focus on burst damage instead of attack speed.
Critical-hit upgrades can help massively.
Mountain Man
Deal over 200 damage using a Stone.
You specifically need the Stoner evolution for this one. Once unlocked, focus on increasing raw damage before throwing rocks at enemies.
Pacifist and Survival Achievements
These are some of the trickier achievements in the game.
Dove
Win a run without dealing damage.
A vegan or charm-focused build works best here. Let allies or environmental effects handle enemies while you survive.
This challenge sounds easier than it actually is because accidental damage can ruin the run.
Can’t Touch This
Complete a run without taking damage.
High Dodge and Speed are extremely important here.
Honestly, patience matters more than aggression. Play carefully and avoid risky fights.
Zen
Beat a run without dealing or taking damage.
Probably one of the hardest achievements currently in the game.
You essentially need:
- Passive enemy deaths
- No damage dealt directly
- No damage received
This usually depends heavily on luck and careful build management.
Not Even Yourself
Become your own Main Predator.
You need to die from self-inflicted damage.
The easiest method is using the Antlers evolution while already low on health.
Evolution Achievements
These focus on specific evolution combinations.
Frens
Have 12 charmed allies simultaneously.
You need a charm-based evolution path for this. Continue charming enemies until you maintain at least 12 allies at once.
Runs can become hilariously chaotic once you reach this point.
The Crabtain
Reach Carcinisation 10 during a run.
You must fully commit to crab evolutions.
Recommended upgrades include:
- Arms → Pincer → Pistol Pincer
- Legs → Scuttle
- More Legs!
- Antennae
- Shell
- Exoskeleton → Molting
Basically, become the ultimate crab.
100 Coats
Use Molting 10 times in one run.
This achievement simply requires repeatedly triggering the Molting evolution during a long enough run.
Win Achievements
These track overall progression and difficulty clears.
Selective Pressure 1
Beat Pressure 1.
The first major win achievement and fairly easy once you understand the basics.
Selective Pressure 20
Beat Pressure 20.
This is where the game becomes genuinely difficult. Enemy scaling gets brutal, and poor build choices can ruin runs quickly.
Strong dodge or summon builds usually perform best.
Complete
Beat Pressure 20 with all Genetics.
One of the biggest long-term grinds in the game.
Since every Genetic changes gameplay slightly, expect certain runs to feel significantly harder than others.
Extinction 5
Beat Extinction 5.
Requires surviving one of the harsher challenge modes in the game.
Win
Win 10 runs.
Winner
Win 50 runs.
Winnest
Win 200 runs.
These come naturally over time while working toward other achievements.
Although honestly, 200 wins takes quite a while.
Challenge Achievements
Challengedn’t
Beat all Challenges.
You must clear every challenge mode currently available.
Gilded
Finalize a Challenge by beating it with every Genetic.
Each completed Genetic places a green check mark on the challenge menu.
You need all of them filled.
Really?
Finalize every Challenge with all Genetics.
This is easily one of the hardest completion achievements in the game because of how much repetition and consistency it requires.
Definitely an endgame grind.
Boss Achievements
Some of the funniest achievements come from boss interactions.
Ole!
Hit a Crabtaur while it charges.
Simply smack the Crabtaur during its charge animation.
Timing matters here.
Opportunistic
Kill the Crabtaur using an obstacle.
Lower its health first, then bait its charge attack into a tree or cactus.
Probably one of the more creative achievements in the game.
In a Rush+
Kill a boss in under 5 seconds.
Burst-damage builds work best here.
Save powerful cooldowns for boss encounters.
Bullseye
Kill a boss using a thrown stone.
Again, this requires the Stoner evolution.
You specifically need the rock to land the final hit.
Rebellious
Have a charmed Crawlee kill Clawdia.
During the Clawdia fight:
- Charm one of the Crawlees.
- Lower Clawdia’s health carefully.
- Hope the charmed Crawlee gets the finishing blow.
This one can take multiple attempts because of how random combat becomes.
It Was a Dinosaur
Let the Final Boss die from the Cataclysm Event.
Near the end of the fight, meteors begin falling.
You need to weaken the boss enough so the meteor damage finishes it instead of you.
Shiny Achievements
These achievements are mostly luck-based.
I Wanna Be the Very Best
Defeat a shiny animal.
I Know It’s My Destiny
Encounter 5 different shiny enemies.
Gotta Catch Them All
Encounter 15 different shiny enemies.
Since shiny enemies spawn randomly, these achievements mostly come naturally through repeated runs.
Some players may unlock them quickly while others get unlucky for hours.
Codex Achievements
Full Cast
Unlock all Genetics.
Most Genetics unlock naturally through progression and challenge completion.
Full House
Discover every animal in the Bestiary.
This includes:
- Normal animals
- Evolved variants
- Bosses
- Boss summons
A lot of players miss boss summon entries, so pay close attention during fights.
For a game called Everything is Crab, there is honestly a surprising amount of depth hidden underneath the chaos. Some achievements are straightforward, while others require extremely specific setups or a ridiculous amount of patience.
The hardest achievements for most players will probably be:
- Zen
- Complete
- Really?
- Pressure 20 clears
Meanwhile, the shiny achievements mostly depend on luck rather than skill.
If you are going for 100% completion, expect a pretty long grind, especially once challenge finalization and Genetic clears enter the picture. Still, unlocking everything feels genuinely rewarding once you finally see the achievement list fully completed.
