So I decided while playing Fallout 4 (around the time it came out) that I was going to try to break this habit, because it meant I never got to use any of the cool shit.

I made this decision while retaking the castle, fighting the queen crab thing. I used all the mini nukes I had on it.

Those who have played the game knows what happens next... after killing the queen, the king emerges. Way bigger, way harder to kill.

I've been a hardcore no exceptions hoarder ever since

Of course, if you had been hoarding, you also would not have used anything on the king

Because of the secret double king

This made me wish there were awards on Lemmy. Thanks for making me laugh out loud.

Maybe I'm having a mandela effect moment but I don't remember a "way bigger, way harder to kill" mirelurk king after the queen. The mirelurk king in-game is the size of a deathclaw tops and I think it's stats are definitely weaker when compared to the queens. Is there a special one that spawns after the queen that I am forgetting?

Yeah there's no mirelurk king that shows up after the queen.

You are definitely right, not sure what this guy is on about.

That's just a higher level variation of the normal mirelurk king. Just like an albino deathclaw is a higher level variation of the normal one. Also the mirelurk deep kings stats on the wiki are still lower than the queens.
