Underwater location. Waterfall location. Ideal spot to glide to the waterfall; aim for the white circle.

The King Crab is a hidden NPC that appears in the cavern at the beginning of "Where's Balthazar?" Killing him awards an achievement. He will spawn randomly in one of two locations: underwater, at the north side of the lake; or behind the waterfall on the eastern side of the cavern. The waterfall niche can be reached by gliding to it from a high ledge; see the screenshots for an ideal spot.
