Island 1 objective order
Finish the catch-and-sell tutorial
Use the starter equipment, inspect unfamiliar catches, and sell enough ordinary catches to fund only the next required purchase.
Talk to the lighthouse keeper
Follow the beer-culprit objective and keep the Empty Beer Can for the Crab-Fishing Rod.
Summon Spider Crab
Equip the Empty Beer Can as crab-rod bait, land Spider Crab, and fight it on open ground.
Return the shell
Pick up the distinct shell trophy rather than ordinary meat, then give it to the lighthouse keeper for the boat keys.
Common first-island blockers
| Problem | Check |
|---|---|
| Spider Crab will not appear | Confirm the Crab-Fishing Rod is using an Empty Beer Can, not normal Fishing Rod bait |
| Keeper will not advance | Carry the shell trophy; meat chunks do not satisfy the hand-in |
| Boat remains locked | Finish the trophy hand-in and keep the awarded keys before trying the wheel |
