How to Get the Bait: Purchased at the Island 3 store (Standard boss-lure tier, about $280).

Boss Mechanics

Spiral Charge

The shark rotates and charges in a spiral pattern, and it almost always lands the hit at close range. Like other assault-type bosses it is rigid after a failed charge — the window is after the charge, not before.

Distance Is the Whole Fight

The fight is won by never letting it get close. Upgraded bullets drop the health bar far faster and buy margin against the white patience bar.

Step-by-Step Strategy

Preparation

Upgrade your bullets before summoning — the white patience bar drains far faster with basic ammo. A shotgun is very effective here.

Step-by-Step

  • Summon on open ground with room to widen the circle.
  • Keep expanding the width of your movement so the spiral charge never connects.
  • Output shotgun damage continuously from outside its reach.
  • Force the kill before the white patience bar empties.

After the Kill

Talk to the NPC beside the grill and hand the shark over to get the lighter (proof of battle effectiveness). This unlocks the Grill — cook fish at 1.5x price.

Rewards

  • Lighter + Grill unlock (grilled fish sell at 1.5x price)
