How to Fish: How to Defeat the Spider Crab Boss

Conquering the Spider Crab in How to Fish unlocks the path onward to the second island.

Purchase the Knife before starting the duel. When the beast is stunned, move in close to deliver four to six slashes, then retreat safely. If attacking from slightly further away, aim for about four strikes during each stun window. Once downed, retrieve the spider crab trophy and hand it over to the quest giver. Avoid submitting meat chunks, as the quest demands the trophy to progress.
