Finding every Dark Wee Crab is one of the more enjoyable completion challenges in Granblue Fantasy Relink Endless Ragnarok. Unlike the original Wee Crabs, these darker variants only become available after completing a separate side quest chain, and many of them are hidden well off the main path.
Some require careful platforming, while others only appear during specific boss encounters or scripted events. It’s surprisingly easy to finish an entire chapter without realizing you walked right past one.
To save you from replaying every chapter multiple times, this guide covers all 20 Dark Wee Crab locations, including the best chapter checkpoints to use, detailed directions, and a few tips that make collecting them much easier.
Granblue Fantasy Relink Dark Wee Crab Locations Guide (Endless Ragnarok)
Before you can begin collecting Dark Wee Crabs, you’ll need to complete the original Save the Crustacean side quest series.
Once every normal Wee Crab has been rescued:
- Speak with Lil Pincer.
- He’ll explain that several Dark Wee Crabs have gone missing.
- Return to the Quest Counter.
- Dark Wee Crab markers will now begin appearing throughout Story Replay.
If you don’t see any Dark Wee Crabs, double-check that you’ve finished the entire Save the Crustacean questline first.
Best Way to Collect Every Dark Wee Crab
Instead of replaying every chapter from the beginning, use Story Replay.
Most chapters allow you to start from later checkpoints, placing you only a few minutes away from each collectible.
This cuts the completion time dramatically and lets you focus only on the required sections.
Chapter 1 – Attack of the Quakedile
Total Dark Wee Crabs: 1
Start from the Quakedile checkpoint, then immediately pause and restart from the previous checkpoint.
You’ll begin beside a blocked path covered by vines.
- Cut the vines.
- Move past the fallen rock.
- Drop down the side path.
Follow the trail until it ends.
The first Dark Wee Crab is sitting quietly on the ledge to your right.
This one’s fairly easy to miss because most players continue forward instead of dropping down.
Chapter 2 – Please Save Tempeal
Total Dark Wee Crabs: 2
Dark Wee Crab #2
Progress until you’ve rescued the villagers for the first time.
