If you’re trying to unlock the “Best Friends” achievement in Rock Bottom, you’ll need to find the game’s hidden crab. Fortunately, the secret isn’t too difficult once you know where to look, but it’s easy to miss if you’re exploring normally.
This guide will walk you through exactly where to find the secret crab.
Rock Bottom Secret Crab Guide: How to Find and Befriend the Hidden Crab
The hidden crab is located near Orc Base I.
Your goal is to leave the normal playable path and reach a hidden ledge containing the crab’s cave.
Step 1: Travel to Orc Base I
Make your way to Orc Base I using the elevator system.
Once you arrive, head toward the edge of the platform where you can safely jump off.
Step 2: Jump Off the Edge
Stand near the edge of the platform and intentionally fall off.
This is required to reach the hidden area.
Don’t panic—the route is designed to be accessible.
Step 3: Stay to the Left
As you’re falling, keep moving as far left as possible.
You’ll need to carefully control your movement while descending.
Using your Dash ability makes this much easier, so be prepared to dash several times if needed.
Step 4: Land on the Hidden Ledge
If you followed the route correctly, you’ll eventually land on a hidden platform instead of falling all the way down.
This ledge contains the entrance to the secret crab’s cave.
Walk inside, and you’ll find the hidden crab waiting for you.
Tips for Reaching the Crab
- Start your jump from Orc Base I.
- Hug the left wall throughout the fall.
- Use your Dash ability to adjust your landing.
- If you miss the platform, simply return to Orc Base I and try again.
It may take a couple of attempts to get the angle right, but once you know the route, it’s a quick trip.
Rock Bottom hides a few secrets for players willing to explore, and the secret crab is one of the easiest hidden discoveries once you know where to look. Head to Orc Base I, jump from the platform, stick to the left during your fall, and use your dashes to reach the hidden cave. If your first attempt doesn’t work, don’t worry—it usually only takes a few tries before you land on the correct ledge and meet your new crustacean friend.
