How to Use the Crab Trap in Dave the Diver
To deploy a Crab Trap and catch Horsehair Crab, head to the Glacial Area and search for bubbling rocks. Once a suitable crevice is located, interact with it to set the Crab Trap, add bait, and wait for a bit. The effectiveness of Crab Traps depends on the bait used, so the rank of the fish used as bait should be considered when targeting specific crustaceans. Generally speaking, higher ranked bait will lure higher rank Crab and Lobster.
After setting the bait, you’re free to explore other areas and come back later to see what you’ve caught. Your trap’s location is marked by an arrow on the edge of your screen, and a green check mark will appear when something is caught. Remember to collect your catch from the Crab Traps before heading back to the surface to avoid losing them.
After successfully trapping a Horsehair Crab, return to the Sea People Village and deliver it to Mima. She will prepare a Steamed Horsehair Crab dish and set it outside her restaurant. Collect the dish off the ground and carry it to Duwa’s Workshop. Once inside, present the dish to Duwa, who in return will express his gratitude by giving you 150 Bei and 1 Divine Tree Fruit Fragment.
