Dave the Diver: How to Catch the Horned Parrotfish
Want to know how to catch the Horned Parrotfish in Dave the Diver? The Horned Parrotfish is an elusive fish in the Blue Hole that Dave needs to catch for his client. You’ll need to act fast though, as the mission will be considered failed if you don’t catch the fish the same day you receive it.
The Horned Parrotfish is only available during the Blue Hole missions in Dave the Diver. Once you’ve completed all of the Blue Hole missions, you can freely dive in the open-world game whenever you like. The fish can be found in the Blue Hole Shallows, near a boat wreck, at a depth of around 30 meters. This particular fish is an aggressive one, so be careful not to get too close or it’ll try to ram you.
The Horned Parrotfish has horns that protect its front side. This means you won’t be able to use weapons or nets to catch it. However, when the fish charges, it exposes its vulnerable backside, which is the key to catching it. If you have trouble finding it, here’s the exact location of the Horned Parrotfish in the Blue Hole Shallows.
How to Catch the Horned Parrotfish
The best method for catching the Horned Parrotfish is to use a Hush Dart to put it to sleep. This prevents the fish from charging at you and retaliating.
Bait the Horned Parrotfish to charge at you. As it’s charging at you, dodge to the side and shoot the Hush Dart into its backside. After a few seconds, the fish will fall asleep, allowing you to capture it.
If you don’t have a Hush Dart, you can weaken the fish with a knife or gun and then use a harpoon gun to catch it. This method should be used as a last resort, as you risk accidentally killing the fish and getting a lesser quality catch.
That’s how you catch the Horned Parrotfish in Dave the Diver. Completing the fish collection in the open-world game is no easy task, but this particular fish is part of a specific species mission, so it’s necessary to fulfil that if you’re looking to complete everything.
If you’ve got the hang of catching fish in Dave the Diver, why not dive into the Blue Hole and explore the beautiful underwater world while you’re at it?
