How to Break Crumblefin After Fishing It Up
Once you fish up Crumblefin, do not try to finish the catch with normal attacks. Crumblefin appears inside a boulder-like shell, and direct weapon hits do not work.
Use the boulder interaction instead:
- Fish up Crumblefin in Southern Outskirts.
- Move close to the boulder-like shell.
- Burrow underneath Crumblefin.
- Lift or launch it like a normal boulder.
- Hurl it into a wall.
- Break the shell to complete the catch and collect Crumblefin Head.
No sidearm upgrade or weapon upgrade is required for this break method. The important step is recognizing that Crumblefin behaves like a boulder after it is fished up.
Why Crumblefin Is Immune to Damage
Crumblefin is protected by a boulder-like shell after you fish it up. That shell blocks normal weapon damage, so swinging at it will not solve the encounter.
The solution is environmental rather than combat-based: burrow underneath it, handle it like a normal boulder, and throw it into a wall. Once the shell breaks, the catch can be completed.
