One of the quests you have to complete in order to get Kril's shell back is a Treasure Hunt. Here's how to find all three cereal treasure map pieces in Another Crab's Treasure.
How to complete the Treasure map in Another Crab's Treasure
In order to complete the map, you have to find three missing pieces. You get each piece by defeating three bosses. When talking to the Konche, he will point you to the Grove, and that is your only clue as to where to go. You'll get more clues as you bring back each map.

To get to the Expired Grove, you first have to head through the Sands Between. You'll get the warning that there is something in the area that wants to eat you, and you need to get to the life floats embedded in the sand to protect yourself. That is actually Pagurus, a huge boss who will chase you around the sands. He is also the one who has the first map piece.
This crab is pretty difficult to defeat and you might want to be a higher level first before you tackle him. Instead, you can do as I did and run across the sands to explore the Grove for more Crystals and Microplastics for upgrades.

However, if you are braver than me, you can defeat it and grab the map. A good shell for this run is the Yoccult shell, which provides constant healing while you do damage. Keep dodging towards it and watch out for the red signal attack. The Ravenous has an instant kill where he eats you. When you get the map, head back to the Upper Crust of New Carcinia to get the next clue.

When you first get to Flotsam Vale, you'll have to fight with Inkerton. Don't worry, you only have to get his health down to about half way before he runs away. Once he does, you can keep moving forward. Go through the Company Town area until you unlock the Upper Swamp.
Now, instead of going further into the swamp turn back around and go the other way. This path will take you to the Expired Grove and Curdled Village (first image). Getting through Curdled Village is difficult since there are many enemies around and a crab sniping you from up top (second image).
The best strategy here is to run and dodge until you make it past the sniper. If you have to fight, fight, but try to keep moving. Once you go past the sniper and a big crab with a hammer, open the village gates (third image) and you will see Heikea, the boss with the second map piece.
If you haven't killed the crab sniper, make sure you don't get into its line of sight, as it can still kill you through the gates. For Heikea, the goal is to keep distance when he uses his Frighten ability, which makes you hide in your shell. There are a bunch of Cascadia Rolls lying around, so make sure to use them to heal yourself up.

From the Village Gates, go to New Carcinia to get the next clue and then teleport back to the Upper Swamp. Your goal is to reach the mailbox at the top. Make your way through the gunk and try not to pay attention to the enemies. The game itself tells you you don't have to fight every enemy. Preserve your health until you reach the boss fight.
You are heading for the air boost. Double-tap the jump button and you'll find yourself entering a cave system. The Ceviche Sisters are at the end of it with the third and last treasure map piece in Another Crab's Treasure. Since there are two of them and they are both ranged enemies, it can be difficult. However, the best tactic is to focus on one to kill it while dodging the attacks from the other.
Once you have the last piece, head back to the Upper Crust in New Carcinia to complete the map and find where the Treasure is hiding. Nothing can go wrong, surely? Apart from Roland swooping in and stealing the map, leading you on a wild boat chase, that is.
