How to Fish Boss Guides
The launch boss set covers Spider Crab and Pufferfish because both have current first-hand reporting, while Pufferfish-related searches are breaking out. Later bosses remain unpublished until their routes can be verified without copying another wiki.
Spider Crab
This is the opening boss route. The guide covers tutorial preparation, a tested solo melee choice, safe terrain use, recovery windows and the progression hand-in after the fight.
Pufferfish
This guide covers the island quest that leads to the bait, continuous movement during the chase and a tested weapon approach. Patch 1.0.4 nerfed Pufferfish, so older damage assumptions are not treated as current facts.
Why the boss list is deliberately incomplete
A complete-looking list with unsupported locations, health values or item requirements would be less useful than two checked answers. The queue will expand only when a source packet survives version and conflict checks.
