# How to Fish Quests Guide — NPC Hand-Ins | RogueWiki > 来源: https://roguewiki.com/how-to-fish/guides/how-to-fish-quests How to Fish quests guide: the Lighthouse Keeper, the three leeches, the tourist carrot bait, the grill lighter, and every boss-trophy hand-in. # How to Fish Quests Guide — NPC Hand-Ins Quests in How to Fish are mostly NPC hand-ins tied to boss trophies, and they are the mechanism that unlocks each new island. This guide lists the key quests, where to find the tricky items, and why a completed boss sometimes does not advance the quest. Official source: How to Fish on Steam — Dazed Games — the store page confirms the co-op quest and boss structure. How to Fish NPC standing by the lake on the forest island waiting for a hand-in ## The Lighthouse Keeper (Opening Quests) The Keeper is your first quest giver and cash source. Early tasks are simple: eat a clam, throw clams at him for cash, then later feed him a Beer so he hands you the Empty Beer Can . That can is the lure for the Spider Crab ; once you kill it and feed the crab meat back to the Keeper , the first quest completes and you get the boat keys plus the radar for $10 . The full opening is in the beginner guide . ## The Three Leeches (Island 2) On Island 2 (Forest) the lakeside lady asks for five leeches . They are small ground pickups on the island floor , not fish you hook and not boss drops. Players consistently miss them by looking in the water. Lower your view, sweep the perimeter near vegetation and structures, and check your count as you go. Multiple launch-day players report seeing only two leeches with no reliable respawn from boating away and returning. Complete one slow perimeter sweep first; if the count stays below five, protect your quest items and check current Steam discussions before burning another long loop on the same route. ## The Tourist and the Carrot (Island 3) A tourist sits under a tree on Island 3 and refuses to enter the water because he fears a fish. Catch a Needlefish with the Standard Lure and feed it to him — he gifts you a Carrot . That carrot summons the Pufferfish ; after the fight, hand the fin to the tourist for Island 4 coordinates. Full tactics are in the Pufferfish boss guide . ## The Grill and the Lighter (Island 3) Killing the Blue Shark on Island 3 lets an NPC light the Grill and hands you a lighter . Cooking fish applies a 1.5x sell multiplier . This is technically a quest reward but functions as the game's biggest money unlock — see the money guide for the economy impact. ## The Tuna and the Albatross (Island 4) On Island 4 a shop NPC sends you after a large bird. Catch a Tuna with the Professional Boss Lure , lay it down, and wait for the Albatross to arrive, then kill it with the Uzi or Sniper. Hand the bird head to the NPC for the next coordinates. The "Terrorizing bird" and "Vacation" achievements are tied to these islanders. ## Why a Boss Kill Does Not Complete the Quest The most common launch-day confusion: players carry generic meat back to a quest giver when the quest wants the visually distinct trophy — a fin, skull, tail, or bone-shaped piece. The wording players use varies (skull, tail, fin, trophy), but the rule is stable: keep the unusual boss part and test it at the quest giver first. Do not sell or eat it. Before you sell or cook anything that looks different from normal meat, open the quest log. A distinct head, fin, tail, or trophy-shaped piece is far more likely to be a hand-in than ordinary meat. ## Co-op Quest Hand-Offs In online co-op (up to four players), agree on who carries the trophy before the boss dies. Launch discussions report join problems and aggressive boss behavior, so assign a clear carrier and confirm the party is together before spending the boss lure. The multiplayer guide covers co-op roles. ## Sources - How to Fish on Steam — Dazed Games - Dazed Games official site - How to Fish community wiki ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Where do I find the leeches in How to Fish? On Island 2 (Forest) they are small ground pickups on the island floor near vegetation and structures, not in the water. Sweep the perimeter at walking level and bring five to the lakeside lady. ### How do I get the carrot bait quest in How to Fish? On Island 3, catch a Needlefish with the Standard Lure and feed it to the tourist under the tree. He gives you the Carrot, which summons the Pufferfish. ### What is the grill quest in How to Fish? Killing the Blue Shark on Island 3 lets an NPC light the Grill and gives you a lighter. Cooking fish then applies a 1.5x sell multiplier. ### Why won't my quest complete after a boss kill? You probably carried generic meat back instead of the distinct boss trophy (fin, skull, tail, or bone-shaped piece). Keep the unusual drop and hand it to the quest giver. - How to Fish Pufferfish Boss — Carrot Bait Strategy - How to Fish Walkthrough — Every Island and Boss in Order - How to Fish All Islands — Locations, Creatures & Progression - How to Fish Bosses Guide — Every Boss and Tactic - How to Fish Achievements & 100% Completion ## More How to Fish Guides How to Fish controls and settings: full controller support including DualShock and DualSense, keyboard and mouse, custom volume, and save-anytime options.
