Verified main progression outline
| Stage | Main objective |
|---|---|
| Starting island | Learn catching and selling, complete NPC tasks, and follow the first boss or travel objective. |
| Island 2 | Collect ground leeches for the NPC bait task, catch the Giant Piranha, and hand in the trophy rather than meat. |
| Island 3 | Start the grill, work through Shark and endangered-creature tasks, obtain Carrot Bait, and defeat Pufferfish. |
| Later islands | Gameplay-observed and incomplete: use the trophy hand-in and new coordinates, then follow the Tuna, Whale, and other active objectives shown in game. |
| Military stage | Gameplay-observed and incomplete: continue the military-linked large-creature flow before the final progression segment. |
| Final stage | Follow 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.
