Sunfish Mini-Boss Guide Strategy - How to Fish Boss Wiki

Plan before you start

Before you start the fight

Check the bait or quest item, restock your ammunition and keep any trophy or defeated body needed after the fight.

Buy the $40 Beginner Boss Lure on Forest Island and fish in open water. It can summon Sunfish or The Old Pike as an early mini-boss encounter.

This is an optional collection encounter, not the Giant Piranha story boss. Check the Tab encyclopedia before spending another lure.

↔

Check each item and lure before starting the objective.

Use the $40 Beginner Boss Lure for an even two-target pool containing Sunfish and The Old Pike.

↔

Items to keep, NPC hand-ins and the next route unlocked.

Sunfish counts toward the creature collection but does not drop an item needed to unlock another island.

↔

Achievements whose objective directly uses this route or encounter.

Eat a mini-boss.

Find and kill all the creatures.
