All Bosses in Another Crab’s Treasure Listed
There are 18 bosses in Another Crab’s Treasure, some of which are optional to fight. While you don’t need to fight all of them, there are always some interesting rewards for beating these extra challenges. We also encounter minibosses, but some become regular enemies down the line.
