Pufferfish — How to Fish Boss Guide
The mid-game pufferfish fight: preparation, mechanics and what comes after.
Quick answer
The Pufferfish is the fifth boss in the confirmed How to Fish boss order, fought on a later island. Dedicated fight guides exist because it is a common mid-game wall.
Where and when
- A later island, after the Giant Piranha in the confirmed order.
- Reached through the standard quest line — a mid-game gear check.
How the fight works
- Treat it as a combat exchange with your upgraded weapons, not a fishing contest.
- Movement matters — standing still is the fastest way to lose the exchange.
- Exact health, damage and phase data are not yet verified — nothing is printed until confirmed.
What it unlocks
Beating the Pufferfish clears its progress gate toward the later bosses (Albatross and beyond). See the boss hub for the full order.
