How to catch the horned parrotfish
The horned parrotfish is an aggressive species that will try to ram you if you get too close. Weapons, such as the harpoon gun, and nets are ineffective against the front of the fish, as its horns protect it. However, when the horned parrotfish charges, it exposes its vulnerable backside, which you can target for capture.
The best method to catch the horned parrotfish is to use a Hush Dart, which you should have access to if you’ve found any weapon chests or purchased items from Duff’s store. Bait the fish to charge at you, dodge out of the way, and then fire a Hush Dart into its backside before it turns around. After the dart connects, wait a few seconds for the fish to fall asleep, and you can successfully capture it.
That’s all you need to know to catch the horned parrotfish in Dave the Diver. While this fish may seem like more trouble than it’s worth, you may want to catch every fish in the Blue Hole and complete the mission if you’re after the Flotsam Fishing Trophy.
