Turtle Crypt in Total Battle
The Turtle crypt is an Epic crypt (levels 15–35). It drops Old Shell, which is used in 8 pieces across 8 sets: Omniscience, Emerald Guardian, Path of the Skybreaker, Sagittarius's Fury, Steppe Enslaver, Guardian of Justice, War Master, Emperor's Wrath.

This is how the Turtle crypt looks in the Watchtower's Crypts and Arenas list. The Watchtower filters by rarity and level but not by crypt type, so you pick it out by its picture.
Only the Turtle crypt drops Old Shell, so there's no other way to farm it from crypts. Epic crypts unlock with the Crypts III research at level 15 and use Epic Tar, which runs out much faster than common Tar. A common rule is to wait until you clear a level 25 Common crypt in one march.

Let a bot run these crypts
Its Explore specific crypts only option sends your captains only to the crypts you tick, like the Turtle crypt, and skips the rest of the list. TB Crypt Auto-Explorer is a Chrome extension that runs the crypt loop for you: it sets the Watchtower filter, sends Carter (or three captains at once), speeds up the march with your own speedups and sends him out again the moment he's home. It never buys Tar or anything else.
