This seems to be bugged now. It didn't used to look like this.
Time to get revenge on the turtles who frustrated us at times lol. Can be tricky judging which turtle to go for due to your low point of view as the crab. Also watch double clicking your keybind before the crab moves or you'll find yourself getting hit due to moving two spaces (very touchy controls for me). Can get hit around 4 or 5 times before you die as crab.
If you want a way to up the difficulty (if you're a masochist), try doing it on a Warlock alt. Added to the fun I listed above is the addition of Wild Imps to block your view, and of course the random spawns of other demons. Would love it if the random one's frequency out and about was the same as in this quest though, having 3 out at once!
