Wait, sorry, what exactly is a pistol shrimp? Screen?
God sees and knows everything, but at least he won't gossip about it.

They are in 2-3 places in the kelp forest. They're fireing a very fast projectile which takes about half your health.
Can't make a screenie now, sorry. You can find some real photos in the Underwater Creature Thread. ;)

I did some experimenting today with the menu and found the ingredient for Zunna's Perogi, they are poison soup+Plump Perogi, this gives you Energy form shot poisoned for 45 seconds, could be very useful I think :D

This is true, but there are threads with a full menu of recipes.  I think you'll find that a lot of those are very useful indeed.

Sorry if it was out of context Glamador but I read some recipes further back in thisthread so I thought that it would be ok to add this one, and the full recipe that I read mentioned that the perogi ingredient was unknown? Or did I miss a correction to it?

Most of them are useful but some more than others lol

I've just found out that that invisible octopus can be hit while it's in the invisible state when Naija is in dual form wow! it doesn't stand a chance now! :D

Pistol Shrimp are in my top 5 most dangerous enemies in Aquaria.  The top spot goes to those mecha-crabs in the Sun Temple (If they get a few shots in on you you're TOAST).  Pistol Shrimp probably take 2nd place.  The Sun Temple worm is in there somewhere, but he's a boss.

Those that always eat up my health are the little round pink wall creepers, their shots follow you around similar to the spiky things, but at least with the spikies you can set yourself in a safe spot while shooting them. I've managed to eat the pistol shrimp everytime I've met him so far and I've managed to avoid all but one or two of it's shots. The mecha crabs are nasty but again I usually get them before they get me, but one can creep up on you while your trying to jump the cogs, nasty things :(

I've never had trouble with those damned wall creepers.  But Pistol Shrimp are fidgetty little buggers.  I eat them sure, but I usually get hit before I do.  And then of course I waste a shot trying to save or transform or something.

I've been practicing eating without getting caught but it still happens from time to time, the only thing I can't do is beat the Simon says boss and he is the cutest and most harmless but I am still pulling my hair out over him lol I think my age might have something to do with it so I am going to cheat and get my son to beat him for me ROFL!

Yes that's fun but it's always easier to do if you put yourself against a wall before you fire, don't try doing it among the spines though  ::)

(This isn't illegal, right?  ;) ) A question: does Naija's shield block pistol shrimp shots? Because if it does, you can postition yourself right in front of the creature and let its own shots kill itself.  ;) (Then again, you woundn't be able to earn its shots.  :( )
If the answer to the above is yes, you could come up to the pistol shrimp in normal form, let it shoot once, and then rapidly switch to beast form and nail the little bugger.  ;D

"EDIT" Oh. Sorry, I forgot about that. In that case, you could corner it, throw a nest of briars behind it and then let it impale itself! Just a thought  :D

Haven't you noticed that the pistol shrimp is thrown away by it's own shot Chibi? Besides I don't think that her forcefield really blocks a great deal it just seems to lessen the effect and that shot is baad!

Doesn't really block?  It can take half a dozen full force shots from Mithala before breaking down.  It protects and reflects damn near any projectile in the game.  Plus the shrimp being pushed back is not an issue since shots do carry on even past the current field of view.

? I swear my health went down at least once while I had the forcefield around her, and do these projectiles rebound, I haven't tried that little trick? I'm still trying to beat SS without getting my son to do it for me this time :(
