Where to Find All Old World Whorl Locations in Another Crab’s Treasure

There are 11 Old World Whorl scattered across the ocean in Another Crab’s Treasure. Finding the first one gives you a new Umami charge instantly, but further charges always require two units. Some of them are particularly hard to reach and require learning other skills first.

Finding all of the Old World Whorls will give you a total of nine Umami charges, which is more than enough to deal with most enemies around the game. Combine them with the Bloodstar Limbs to have even better stats without having to cash in your precious Microplastics.
