Welcome to the most comprehensive guide on finding the Crab Scroll in Abyss Roblox! If you’ve been exploring the depths of this underwater adventure and encountered Henry’s mysterious Crab companion, you’ve probably wondered how to unlock its secrets. I’ve spent countless hours diving into the Ancient Sands biome and perfecting the route to this coveted item, and I’m here to share everything I’ve learned.

Requirement	Details

Depth Required	~370 meters
Minimum Tube	Zeppelin Tube (Rukiry Tube recommended)
Prerequisites	Access to Ancient Sands biome
Reward	Crab NPC dialogue + Crab Questline

Understanding the Crab Scroll Mystery

The Crab Scroll is one of the most sought-after items in Abyss Roblox, and for good reason. This ancient artifact holds the key to unlocking Henry’s Crab companion as a fully interactive NPC. Before obtaining the scroll, the Crab only makes mysterious clicking sounds, but afterward, it becomes a valuable quest giver with its own storyline involving seven Fish Ruins.

Based on my extensive research across multiple sources including the official Abyss Wiki and community guides, I’ve discovered that this questline is considered one of the most rewarding early-game progression paths in Abyss March.

Prerequisites and Preparation

Essential Gear Requirements

Before attempting to find the Crab Scroll, you’ll need proper equipment. The cave sits at approximately 370 meters depth, which means your starter tube won’t cut it. Here’s what you absolutely need:

Minimum Requirements:

Zeppelin Tube: This is the absolute minimum tube that can safely reach the required depth
Oxygen Pods: Stock up on at least 10-15 pods for the round trip
Basic Harpoon: For any fish encounters along the way

Recommended Equipment:

Rukiry Tube: Provides better depth safety margins and faster movement
Oxygen Potion: For extended dive times
Speed Potion: Helpful for quick escapes if needed

Access Requirements

You must have unlocked the Ancient Sands biome before attempting this quest. This typically requires completing the Scientist’s Quest 1 to activate the Teleporter in the Forgotten Dome. If you haven’t reached this point yet, check out our Roblox Abyss progression guide for more details.

Step-by-Step Crab Scroll Location Guide

Step 1: Reaching Ancient Sands

Start your journey in the Forgotten Dome (the main hub area). Locate the Teleporter near the Scientist’s area and use it to travel to Ancient Sands. You’ll arrive inside Crazy Jeff’s Shop, which serves as the spawn point for this biome.

Pro Tip: Before teleporting, make sure your oxygen is full and you have at least 10 oxygen pods in your inventory. The round trip can consume more oxygen than you expect, especially if you get lost.

Step 2: Navigating to Grumpy Hank’s Tower

Exit Crazy Jeff’s Shop and immediately pass through the protective waterfall outside. This is where many players get confused – you need to turn right immediately after clearing the waterfall. Don’t continue straight ahead!

Follow the right corridor until it opens into the main Ancient Sands area. Look to your left for a tall, coral-like tower structure. This is Grumpy Hank’s Tower, your primary landmark for this quest.

Step 3: The Descent

Position yourself behind Grumpy Hank’s Tower and locate the cliff edge. This is where your diving skills come into play. Begin your descent straight down the cliff face while staying close to the wall.

Important Navigation Tip: Keep your camera angled toward the cliff face as you descend. The cave entrance can be easy to miss if you’re looking straight down or away from the wall.

Step 4: Locating the Cave Entrance

As you approach the 370-meter depth range, start carefully scanning the cliff face for a cave entrance. The opening is set into the rock wall and can be somewhat hidden by the underwater terrain.

If you don’t see it immediately, don’t panic! Adjust your depth slightly up or down while maintaining close proximity to the wall. The cave entrance is typically between 360-380 meters depth.

Step 5: Inside the Crab Scroll Cave

Once you spot the cave entrance, swim inside and follow the tunnel straight through. The path is straightforward – no turns or confusing intersections to worry about. The tunnel will lead you to a small chamber with a crab-shaped sculpture holding the scroll.

Step 6: Obtaining the Crab Scroll

Swim up to the crab sculpture and press ‘E’ when the interaction prompt appears. The Crab Scroll will be immediately added to your inventory. Unlike some items in Abyss, there’s no minigame or challenge associated with picking it up.

Critical Note: Make sure you actually complete the interaction! Some players report seeing the scroll but leaving without pressing ‘E’, which means they didn’t actually obtain the item.

Returning to Complete the Quest

Step 7: Delivering the Scroll to Henry

After securing the Crab Scroll, make your way back to the Forgotten Dome. You can use the same Teleporter you used to reach Ancient Sands. Once back, head to Henry’s Harpoon Shop.

Stand in front of Henry and press ‘E’ to initiate dialogue. Look for the option “[Give Crab Scroll]” – this is crucial! Simply having the scroll in your inventory isn’t enough; you must explicitly give it to Henry.

Step 8: Unlocking the Crab NPC

After giving the scroll to Henry, turn your attention to the Crab sitting on the counter. Press ‘E’ to interact with it. Initially, you’ll hear some clicking sounds, but these will quickly transition to readable English dialogue.

Congratulations! The Crab is now a fully functional NPC and will immediately offer you a job, kicking off the Crab Questline.

The Crab Questline and Rewards

Seven Fish Ruins Quest

The Crab will task you with finding and activating seven Fish Ruins throughout the Abyss. This is an extensive questline that takes you through multiple biomes and requires various exploration skills.

Crab Quest Rewards:

Crab Claw Artifact: +25% Oxygen, +0.35s Cooldown, +16% Damage
Access to exclusive Fish Ruins content
Significant progression toward endgame content

The Crab Claw artifact is particularly valuable for players focused on deep diving and combat, as it provides substantial oxygen increases that make exploring deeper biomes much more manageable.

Common Mistakes and Troubleshooting

Why the Crab Won’t Talk

If you’ve followed all the steps but the Crab still won’t speak, here are the most common issues:

Missing Scroll Pickup: You may have seen the scroll but didn’t actually press ‘E’ to collect it
Wrong Dialogue Choice: Make sure you selected “[Give Crab Scroll]” when talking to Henry
Wrong Location: Ensure you’re talking to the Crab in Henry’s Harpoon Shop in the Forgotten Dome

Oxygen Management Issues

Many players underestimate the oxygen requirements for this quest. Here are my tips:

Always bring extra oxygen pods (15+ for safety)
Consider using an Oxygen Potion before diving
If running low on oxygen during return, prioritize ascending over horizontal movement
The Rukiry Tube provides better oxygen efficiency than the Zeppelin Tube

Navigation Problems

Getting lost in Ancient Sands is common, especially for first-time visitors. Remember these key points:

Always turn right after the waterfall when leaving Crazy Jeff’s Shop
Grumpy Hank’s Tower is your primary landmark
The cave entrance is on the cliff face behind the tower, not in front of it
Stay close to the wall during descent to maintain orientation

Advanced Tips and Strategies

Optimal Route Planning

Based on my extensive experience, here’s the most efficient route:

Preparation: Stock up on oxygen pods and potions in the Forgotten Dome
Teleport: Use the Ancient Sands Teleporter during off-peak hours for less lag
Navigation: Memorize the right-turn after the waterfall – this saves significant time
Descent: Use the Rukiry Tube for faster descent and better oxygen efficiency
Return: Plan your ascent path to avoid getting disoriented

Time-Saving Techniques

For experienced players looking to optimize their runs:

Practice the route with a less valuable tube first to master navigation
Use Speed Potions for faster travel if you have them
Learn the exact depth of the cave entrance (varies slightly by server)
Consider doing this quest during less busy server times for smoother performance

Group Coordination

If playing with friends, consider coordinating:

One player can scout ahead while others manage oxygen
Share oxygen pods if someone runs low
Use voice chat to coordinate cave entrance location
Take turns retrieving the scroll if multiple players need it

Equipment Progression Recommendations

Before the Crab Scroll Quest

Focus on obtaining at least the Zeppelin Tube and a decent harpoon. Don’t worry about getting the best equipment yet – this quest is designed to be accessible with mid-tier gear.

After Completing the Quest

Once you have the Crab Claw artifact, consider these upgrades:

Rukiry Tube or better: Essential for deeper exploration
Enhanced Harpoon: For the Fish Ruins content
Oxygen Upgrades: The Crab Claw helps, but better tubes are still important
Speed Equipment: Useful for the extensive exploration required
