The thing with the GEC, is I can't figure out why it was there other than "End of a dungeon, better put a boss here." It's completely unconnected to anything else in the entire game, is never mentioned again, and even the one line of throwaway dialogue it gets as an explanation for it's existence doesn't make much sense. Nel says it's "probably ruled these aqueducts for ages"? Ok... So where was it last time she came through here? She's far too confidant in the ventilation shaft > aqueduct route for me to believe she hasn't taken it before, so why was she surprised by this thing being there?
As for running past it... A crab of that size would have even more trouble with the puzzle in that room than people would - 6 tiny points of weight distribution rather than any sort of surface area. (I did completely forget to mention that detail though, yes.) ...for that matter, fighting it in that room makes no sense either. The part of the room that isn't thin ice is barely any bigger than that thing.
It is true that I was really tired at that point, though. We'll go over it when we get a chance and see if we want to change/add stuff there.
