Boss Strategies:

 

Universal Boss Tips:

  • Always keep a few fish swimming around to replenish Derrick’s health.
  • Look for the red glowing areas of a boss that indicate it’s vulnerable spot.
  • Pay attention to each boss’s swimming pattern to avoid damage.

 

American zone Boss (Whale)

 

Vulnerable Spot = Tail

 

To defeat the Whale boss use the :cross: button when in close range to his tail to damage it. When at longer distances press :circle: to quickly swim to the whale and damage it. Watch out for its mouth as the Whale will often spin around without warning and harm Derrick if he is in too close of a proximity. Make use of the groups of fish swimming around in the area to replenish Derrick’s health should it decrease. It will take around 6 attacks on the Whale’s tail to kill it.

 

Asian zone Boss (Stingray)

 

Vulnerable Spot = Underside

 

The Stingray can be difficult to damage sometimes without getting injured yourself. The boss area is set up so that the Stingray swims around low to the ground in the upper open area. There are two tunnels that lead up into the open area. To damage the stingray effectively swim through either of the tunnels and wait at the exit. Whenever the stingray swims overhead press :circle: and move :l3: in the direction of the Stingray to quickly swim up and damage him. Make sure to quickly swim back down into the tunnel to avoid being harmed by it’s tailwhip. Should Derrick’s health decrease there are two groups of fish swimming in the open area above. It will take around 6 attacks on the Stingray’s underside to kill it.

 

African zone Boss (Swordfish)

 

Vulnerable Spot = Underside of rear-end

 

The Swordfish is a quick moving boss. It swims around in a square-like pattern. Take a moment to watch it’s movement, once you see where the Swordfish swims wait for it to swim by. Once in proximity of the Swordfish swim, to it’s rear-end and quickly press :cross: to get in several attacks on the Swordfish at once. When it begins to swim far away from Derrick us :circle: to get more attacks on the Swordfish while it moves away from Derrick. There are several groups of fish swimming around should Derrick’s health decrease. It takes around 6 attacks on the Swordfish’s rear-end to kill it.

 

Arctic zone Boss (Alienfish)

 

Vulnerable Spot = Topside of body

 

The area where you combat the Alienfish is very large and open. The Alienfish will swim around occasionally spinning upside-down to attack. There isn’t a real trick to defeating the Alienfish, just primarily use :circle: to damage it from distances while avoiding its mouth and use :cross: when it close proximity to it. There are several groups of fish swimming around in the open to replenish Derrick’s health. It takes around 7 attacks on the Alienfish’s topside to kill it.
