So, what do you think ever happened to the noble child you sent to live with the Crab King? (if that is the option you chose to take)

It gets eaten?

What? Nooo! I don't think the Crab Bandit would do that, he's not evil

I took in one of his little crab babies and took care of it so the deal says he has to look after the kid I sent him!

So then the kid is probably in a tiny wooden cage sitting in some corner of the Crab Bandit's throne room.

I sent off one of the king's kids..the ugly one... to the crab bandit. The kid returned when I started the next quest. I was hoping the crab bandit would keep him.

(Edit: If the crab bandit did keep him, I would have rerolled that quest several more times to rid myself of all the ugly kids in the kingdom.)

How do you take care of the crab baby? I just stuck his cage by the throne and forgot about him/her/it.

I was most disappointed to see the kid I gave to the crab walking around the village later on. Her title was a a "handmaiden in training" or something, so I assume she was training to be the crab king handmaiden.

I want to let my crab baby out to roam free around the castle!

how do you make that stupid hair wax of his i had to cancel the quest and go in with the black smith to finish that quest (easier that way) i thought it asked for you to take one of the crabs not you offer it a child?
i brought him food, cloths and tried to make hair wax but couldn't get past that part

To make the wax you need ink, an eel and a leech. Then go to a fireplace and select prepare meal. Scroll down the list of recipes and the wax will be an option.

It offers you a baby crab and you give it a child because that's the fair thing to do. Well it would be fair if I could train the baby crab to be my handmaiden!

thank you simbalena
