Optional mini-boss
How to Beat Sunfish in How to Fish
An optional fight on Forest. Here is what spawns it and how it goes.
Quick facts
Island: Forest
Spawned with: Beginner Boss Lure
Handing in the trophy opens: Nothing — this fight is optional
How to beat it
- Shares the Beginner Boss Lure with The Old Pike, so one purchase can set up either fight.
- Counted as an optional encounter rather than a regular catch, which is why it does not appear in the Forest fish list.
Before you trigger it
- Buy the spawn item first — without it the boss does not appear at all.
- Stock healing. There is no shop once the fight starts.
- Leave inventory space for the drop.
