Dave the Diver – How to Find and Fight the Great White Shark Klaus
Want to know how to find and fight the Great White Shark Klaus in Dave the Diver? Klaus is one of the toughest bosses in the game, but if you’re willing to put in the work, you’ll be rewarded with a couple of legendary items.
Dave the Diver is filled with all kinds of fish, but you’ll eventually run into one of the titular diver’s favourite foods – the shark. There are plenty of sharks in the game, but the Great White Shark Klaus is one of the toughest bosses in the game. You only get one chance to fight Klaus, so make sure you’re prepared before diving into the ocean.
How to Find Klaus the Great White Shark Boss
You only get one chance to fight Klaus, so if you miss your chance, you’ll have to progress far enough in the main story to unlock the Marinca app to even have a chance. Once you’ve unlocked Marinca and Night Diving, an NPC named Sato will appear on stormy nights near your boat. He’ll tell you that a rare boss appears in the ocean during stormy nights.
To find the boss, you’ll need to dive during these stormy nights and locate a vortex that leads to the boss fight. Here are the steps to find Klaus:
First and Second Bosses
Before Klaus, you’ll encounter two other bosses: the Truck Hermit Crab and Mantis Shrimp. Defeating these bosses triggers a special quest on a stormy day. An old lady named Clara will come to your boat on her raft and ask for your assistance in finding Klaus’s hideout.
You’ll need to dive to locate the entrance to Klaus’s hideout, which is at a depth of 50 meters. The entrance will be found anywhere from zero to 50 meters deep, with a higher chance of spawning on the far right side of the Blue Hole. You’ll hear a distinct sound of a storm rumbling when you’re close to the vortex, which can help you locate it.
Boss Fight – Klaus the Great White Shark
To start the boss battle, jump into the water on a stormy night and locate a white vortex. You’ll be unable to call Clara, so you’ll have to hold your ground until she arrives.
Klaus has several attacks, including a dash attack, bite attack, and whirlpool attack. Dodge these attacks while dealing damage when there’s an opening. You only have one refill tube for your portable oxygen tank, so make sure you’re holding it before starting the fight. It’s also recommended to have Harpoon upgrades like Poison or Flame to deal regular damage to Klaus.
After enough damage, Clara will appear and defeat Klaus, ending the battle. Harvest Klaus’s meat to unlock the White Shark Omelet recipe in the Research tab and receive the Shark Teeth Necklace Charm, which increases Harpoon damage by 15 percent.
And that’s how you find and fight Klaus. Be sure to upgrade your weapons, such as the Sniper Rifle or Grenade Launcher, before the fight. Swim around the ocean and open yellow and weapon chests to find portable oxygen tanks and weapon upgrades.
