Your route towards taking out your second Mako reactor after rejoining Avalanche in the Final Fantasy 7 Remake will put you up against another Arachnida class mechanical monster in the form of the Crab Warden.
However, unlike your fight against the Scorpion Sentinel in Chapter 1, you'll have a party of 3 at your disposal and a better understanding of the in-game combat system. This makes the Crab Warden one of the more entertaining fights in the game, albeit one that doesn't come with its fair share of difficulty.

Tips for Beating the Crab Warden Boss
Similar to other machinery that you get a chance to fight against in Final Fantasy 7 Remake, the Crab Warden is susceptible to Lightning. We recommend having the said Materia equipped on all three of your party members and spamming it whenever you can.
You should actively try to avoid using normal attacks and abilities to take on the Crab Warden unless it gets Staggered, in which case, you're free to wail on it. Focus on dropping one Lightning attack after another on its individual parts and eventually, you'll leave it in a Staggered state and it should be easy pickings from then on.
The Crab Warden boss also has no particularly damaging attack that your party should have difficulty recovering from. So long as you keep on spamming Lightning attacks and using Ether to restore your MP, the fight should be pretty straightforward.
