Unlock the Fish Bucket

  1. Talk to the scientist

    Follow the Island 5 objective and identify the requested five-fish hand-in.

  2. Deliver all five

    Keep the required catches separate from food, sales, and gambling until the counter completes.

  3. Equip the Fish Bucket

    Use the quest reward as the Bowhead Whale bait and prepare the fight area before casting.

Fight and preserve the whale

The community route describes ground charges and an airborne stomp. Keep lateral space, fire during predictable approaches, and heal only after creating separation.

The body is the trigger for the final encounter. Move it into the volcano and do not convert it into money, food, or a gambling input.
