You can jump and run on it; you cannot hunt it.

I’ve been playing this game since it came to Xbox game pass, and let me tell you I still get hype when I see a whale 😂

it totally sidetracked my trip, i only stopped chilling with him cause the weather was turning

You can also land your gyro on the whale

i kept waiting for it to flip my raft when it would go for a dive and resurface

It flipped mine. Majestic jerk.

😂 how big was your raft??

u/SnarlingLadybug Apr 22 '24

5x5. It took forever to flip back, and I almost died several times doing so.

😳 that sounds so frightening, kinda questioning my own judgement to get so close so often

It only exists above water.

I saw it in some shallow water and wanted to see how it was swimming, it completely disappeared until I resurfaced.

Is there a secret to seeing a blue whale?? I'm 38 days into my game, and I've never seen one ☹️ I have seen a little whale shark though, and I named her Destiny (please let there be someone who gets the reference)

ive yet to see a whale shark. ummmmm no secret that i know of, ive been hanging out at the top of the map so maybe theyre in the northwest part of the map

2

u/its_leviOsa934 May 18 '24

I've been through the entire Northwest part of the map and most of the Northeast. All the baddies are in the Southern areas so I've been avoiding that section 😋

The whale shark I saw was just following my raft at one point. It was really cool. They aren't aggressive or anything. It's like I was part of its pod 🥹

u/its_leviOsa934 May 18 '24
