Quick answer

Pufferfish is reported as the third-island boss and the gate to the fourth area. Start the Tourist’s quest, catch an endangered Needlenose or Seahorse with the Fishing Rod and Standard Lure, trade it for Carrot bait, then prepare a ranged weapon and use terrain while avoiding the poison trail.

Unlock the encounter

1. Speak with the Tourist on the third island. 2. Use the Fishing Rod with the Standard Lure to look for a Needlenose or Seahorse. 3. Offer the fish marked as an endangered species. 4.

Preparation reported by the guide

The selected guide recommends an upgraded Uzi, its Compensator, and a stock of Dynamite before the cast. These are source-specific preparation notes; prices and optimal quantities are not promoted as universal requirements. [src-001]

Combat loop

1. Place the Dynamite pile before summoning and keep enough distance to avoid your own blast. 2. Pull Pufferfish toward the pile and shoot to trigger the opening explosion. 3. Once it grows and leaves a purple poison trail, keep moving and use trees or other terrain as cover while firing. 4. Avoid standing in the poison and do not trade hits at close range.

After the fight

Return the Pufferfish Fin to the Tourist. The reported reward advances the route toward the fourth island. [src-001]

Evidence boundary

This page uses the current IGN source in the package. A Reddit result was blocked and a PC Gamer page is not part of the current package, so neither is used. Exact health, damage, timings, arena behaviour, and item prices still require a current-build capture.
