Verified main progression outline

StageMain objective
Starting islandLearn catching and selling, complete NPC tasks, and follow the first boss or travel objective.
Island 2Collect ground leeches for the NPC bait task, catch the Giant Piranha, and hand in the trophy rather than meat.
Island 3Start the grill, work through Shark and endangered-creature tasks, obtain Carrot Bait, and defeat Pufferfish.
Later islandsGameplay-observed and incomplete: use the trophy hand-in and new coordinates, then follow the Tuna, Whale, and other active objectives shown in game.
Military stageGameplay-observed and incomplete: continue the military-linked large-creature flow before the final progression segment.
Final stageFollow the final objective and boss encounter; official achievements confirm a finish condition.

Optional quests and troubleshooting limits

Optional NPC tasks can branch away from the main route, and their exact triggers, counters, and rewards may change between versions. Follow the live objective text when it conflicts with a community route.

If an objective item does not appear, first re-check the current quest counter and target tag. Known reports such as missing leeches document a problem but do not establish a universal repair.
