How to Beat the Tuna Boss — How to Fish Guide

How do you beat the Tuna boss?

This How to Fish Tuna boss guide covers the Rocks setup encounter. Use a Professional Boss Lure, defeat the Tuna with close burst or sustained fire, and preserve the body. The catch is not the end of the objective: the Tuna becomes the trigger for the Albatross fight.

Tuna appears in the complete boss overview because its combat and progression roles are both documented, even though sources disagree on the label.

What is the safest Tuna fight plan?

Prepare the lure and a weapon that can deliver dependable damage at close range. Once the Tuna is on land, use short controlled attacks or steady fire rather than losing track of the body during the fight.

The combined verified article does not publish exact health, a mandatory weapon, or a fixed damage threshold. Use the best weapons guide to choose between burst and sustained fire without turning one observed loadout into a universal rule.

Why must you keep the Tuna body?

The body is the setup item for the next encounter. Do not cook or sell it after the fight. Place it where the local route can trigger Albatross, then wait for the encounter rather than treating Tuna as ordinary inventory.

If Albatross does not appear, recheck the active quest and placement before buying another Professional Boss Lure. The Albatross boss guide begins from that placement step.

For catch-focused location and lure information, use the separate Tuna catch page. Keeping that page distinct prevents the combat strategy from replacing the collection answer.

Does Tuna count as a separate boss?

Sources disagree. Tuna behaves as an aggressive encounter, but it also functions as bait for Albatross. Its required setup role is verified; whether it belongs in an official fixed boss total remains Pending verification (待核实).

The rare-fish locations guide treats the collection side separately. This page does not inflate the boss count simply to force a label.
