 * The general aim in the Crab fight is to use the ballistae to try and overturn or incapacitate the 'angry giant crab'. Simple enough; unlock and prime the ballista (using the Tile puzzle and levers). Then use the ballista to fire at a large numbered circular target, hopefully whilst the crab is positioned in front of the said relevant target.
 * Make sure you wait until the crab is positioned directly in front of the correct target before firing. Because each time you fire an arrow from a ballista its associated tile puzzle resets.
 * Each of the four ballistae has a coloured flag behind it; to help indicate which specific coloured circular target face it aims and fires towards. You don't manually aim; the missile is designed hit the paired corresponding circular target face of the same matching colour.
 * The ballistae are also numbered with Roman numerals: I, II, III or IV on the stone base tile near the puzzle levers. The number displayed upon the circular target face have the Roman numerals: I, II, III and IV, again allowing you to see which target the ballista arrow will hit when fired.
 * The crab has four stages:
 * Digged in
 * Showing at one of the targets
 * Raising belly
 * Dropping and using a trip attack in its range
 * The number displayed upon the circular target face, and the number of the ballista must match to hit the crab.
 * The Allosaurus is very jumpy and it resets when it enters the water.
 * chest for defeating Allosaurus
 * End chest
