How to Play
| Step | Do this | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Catch, land, kill, sell | Official loop. Q throws the catch into an NPC mouth. |
| 2 | Buy a rod and a cheap gun | GrindnStrat ladder: knuckles or knife, then a pistol when you can. |
| 3 | Beer can → Spider Crab | Empty-can telling is preferred; ShowGamer’s beer-thief body is a flagged conflict. |
| 4 | Keys and radar | Do not sell the trophy. Radar is a pickup near the keeper. |
| 5 | Engine, then Forest | First engine before Island 2. Later islands stay trophy-gated. |
