How to Fish Game Island 2 walkthrough
Island 2 is the forest chapter of the How to Fish game. Progress comes from a short NPC chain rather than random fishing: find three Leeches, trade them for the correct boss lure, defeat the Giant Piranha, and return its drop.
This walkthrough follows that route in story order and separates the ground pickups from the actual bait, two items that are often confused in player guides.
1. Meet the Forest Lady
After reaching the forest island, speak with the woman in the wooded section. Her request establishes the next objective:
- Required item: Three individual Leeches.
- Where to look: On the ground around the forest paths and nearby clearings.
- Reward: Father's Favorite Bait, which is needed for the boss.
2. Collect Exactly Three Leeches
The objects on the ground are Leeches, not finished Leech Bait. Walk the forest area with the camera angled down and use the interaction prompt on each pickup.
Confirm the team has all three Leeches before returning. In co-op, keep one player responsible for carrying quest items so they are not mixed with ordinary catches.
The standalone Leech Guide explains the hand-in and the difference between the three pickups and the lure you receive.
3. Claim Father's Favorite Bait
Return the three Leeches to the forest lady. She exchanges them for Father's Favorite Bait, the quest lure used to start the Giant Piranha encounter.
- Do not sell or discard the rewarded bait.
- Equip it only after weapons are loaded and the boat is positioned.
- Keep the quest carrier away from the sell station until the boss chain is complete.
4. Prepare for the Giant Piranha
The fight is easier when the crew prepares before casting:
- Reload firearms and move loose quest items off the deck.
- Choose one player to steer while the others focus fire.
- Leave enough space around the boat to react when the boss closes the distance.
Compare the available purchases in the Rod & Boat Upgrades Guide and Weapons & Casino Guide.
5. Defeat the Boss and Continue to Island 3
Follow the story sequence without skipping the final hand-in:
- Attach Father's Favorite Bait to the active rod.
- Cast to summon the Giant Piranha.
- Keep the boat moving while the crew concentrates fire.
- Collect the story drop after the kill rather than selling it with ordinary fish.
- Return that drop to the quest giver to receive the next coordinates.
Before sailing on, review the Pufferfish Boss fight and the Island 3 trade required to obtain Carrot Bait.
