How to Beat the Pufferfish Boss

Get the Carrot, control the Pufferfish around solid terrain, survive its toxic phase, and return the correct trophy.

Reported

Give the Tourist an endangered catch to obtain the Carrot, then use the Carrot to summon Pufferfish. Fight around a large tree or other solid obstacle, shoot only while it changes direction, and move clear of the purple toxic trail in the later phase.

Prepare before using the Carrot

Bring cooked healing food, enough ammunition, and a ranged weapon you can control. High fire rate is wasted if recoil sends most shots wide. Improve control first when accuracy is the problem; increase damage only when shots are landing consistently.

Fight rhythm

Keep the obstacle between you and the boss. When it commits to one side, rotate to the other, fire a short burst during its reroute, then move again. As it grows and leaves purple hazards, widen the loop and do not trade health for one extra burst.

After the kill, look for the unique Pufferfish Tail rather than loose meat. Return the Tail to the Tourist to receive the next navigation item. These specifics are Reported from independent guides; Steam confirms the wider boss-to-island progression loop.
