The skill tree can be seen in the menu at the beginning of Another Crab’s Treasure, but you won’t be able to interact with it for a while. In this guide, I’ll explain everything there is to know about how to unlock Umami’s abilities in Another Crab’s Treasure below.
How to get Umami skills in Another Crab’s Treasure
To obtain Umami abilities in Another Crab’s Treasure, you must first collect purple crystals. You can collect these crystals throughout the game, early on in the environment, as well as from special enemies after fighting and defeating them. I’ve included a screenshot of what the crystals look like when you find them in the environment below. You will have to attack them several times to split them into a smaller portion that you can add to your inventory.
The only way to unlock Umami skills is by talking to the Moon Snail in its domain. So you’ll have to go through the Moon Snail level first before you can get any of these additional powers. Once you reach the Caracol, he will explain how the abilities work and show you the option to Learn skills. However, there is also the option of Refund skills if you are not satisfied with your choice.

How to Refund Umami Skills
To redeem Umami Skills, you need a shark egg. This will refund all the crystals you have put into the skill tree and deselect all skills. So keep in mind that you Only one skill cannot be refunded.. However, there aren’t that many on the tree, so you can easily repurchase the ones you want to keep.
You will only be able to redeem skills later in the game, as the shark egg can be purchased at new carcinia in the upper crust, which you will reach after defeating the Duchess. Prawnathanthat sells your shell, also sells several other items, including a shark egg for Microplastics 2k.
