Quick answer

On Forest Island, turn three Leeches into Modified Leech bait, cast it at the lake, and keep a lateral movement lane open. Focus ranged damage on Giant Piranha, clear only adds that block you, then return the Skeleton to the quest NPC for Island 3 coordinates.

Summon and prepare

1. Collect three Leeches on Forest Island. 2. Hand them to the local quest NPC to receive Modified Leech. 3. Eat, equip your ranged weapon, and choose a shoreline with room to strafe. 4. Cast Modified Leech; the fight starts as soon as the boss is reeled in. [src-001] [src-002] [src-003]

Fight pattern

Giant Piranha can summon smaller Piranhas after taking hits. Move sideways across the shoreline instead of backing into a corner, fire during the turn or leap recovery, and watch the white escape bar so the encounter does not reset. [src-001] [src-002] [src-003]

Weapon and add management

The selected guides report Shotgun or another reliable ranged weapon for the boss, with Brass Knuckles or a low-cost option for close adds. Small Piranhas are pressure, not the objective: remove only those occupying your movement or healing space, then return fire to the boss. [src-001] [src-002] [src-003]

Reward and next route

Pick up the named Giant Piranha Skeleton and hand it back to the same quest NPC. The reported reward is the coordinates for Island 3; do not sell the Skeleton as ordinary drop stock. [src-001] [src-002] [src-003]
