How to Beat Cray Claw

Tips and Strategies

Avoid Positioning In Front

Avoid Positioning In Front
Cray Claw's attacks are mainly going to be targeting what's directly in front of it. Prepare to sidestep and evade a lot during this boss fight as you will need to avoid positioning face to face with it in order to not receive damage. It's good to keep in mind to always remain out of its line of sight.

Attack From Behind or the Side

Attack From Behind or the Side
The most effective way of attacking Cray Claw will be by going for either its claws, legs, or tail. Dealing enough damage to these parts will stagger it which will give you the best opportunity to land quality attacks.

Watch Out for the Device on Its Back

Gravitational Control Device
Clay Craw has a gravitational control device on its back and there are a few attacks that come from this part of its body. While fighting it, always keep an eye on this device as to not get drawn in by the power of gravity. Attacking this device is possible but be careful as Cray Claw will release all its attacks at once.
