According to the description for the achievement “Shellslike” in Another Crab’s Treasure, we must find a certain hero’s helmet. This is easier said than done though, as I believe this to be the hardest shell to get in the game. This can be found in the final area of the game, the Old Ocean. Once in the Old Ocean you will need to reach the moon snail shell at the Lookout Tower and then continue through the area until you reach an elevator that takes you to a room with two hermit crabs that are wearing snow globes. 

Once in the room take the door to your immediate left and follow that path till you reach a hole in the wall with hooks, urchins, and sponges. 

Now you have made it to the hard part of the achievement, making your way across the sponges while avoiding the obstacles. You must bounce and grapple across the large gap until you make to nets with urchins on them, just past this is a little ledge with a hot water faucet that can serve as a checkpoint as long as you have enough health to survive the fall. 

Now you face the next challenge of making your way across the sponges and soap bubbles. Make sure you turn on the hot water faucet, as without it you will be unable to make the jumps to the grapple hooks. It is also important to note that this section is timed, and the platforms will go back to their original positions after a few seconds, so you will have to be fast. I recommend grappling as soon as you are able to, as this will save you time as you progress through the area. After passing this section and making it across the rope walls you will get your next checkpoint at the canister of seafoam.

Activate the seafoam and immediately hop on it and then onto the ledge and across the bubbles, before getting back on the platform. For the first two bubbles you want to take your time to make sure the foam is in the right position. Once on the platform quickly jump to the next three bubbles and make it to the foam platform before it gets too high to make the jump. Once you are on the foam platform simply grapple to the two hooks and land on the platform with the trash and broken shells and this is where you will find the knights helmet. 

Once you put the helmet on your back the achievement “Shellslike” should pop. The knight’s helmet has one of the highest defensive stats of any shell in Another Crab’s treasure with a rating of 70. What really makes this shell stand out from the others is the shells durability as it has a durability stat of 350, which allows you take tank hits from even the strongest of enemies and keep going. The ability for the knight’s helmet is Juggernaut, which makes defeating bosses even easier, as the ability gives you a temporary damage up. The knight’s helmet is the best shell in the game in my opinion and is worth getting even if you aren’t going for the achievement.
