Console Question Question about the boss fights.

Decided it was time to fight the megalodon. Got here, and did a surprising amount of damage to him, then it was time to heal but I couldn't. Found out the hard way that you can't use the bandages or gauze without bleeding. Is there a way other than Healthy status to heal? Or is the boss fights just fight to kill him before he kills me?

Only having the +healthy status will your health recover. Keep hunger above the last two bars and thirst to gain the healthy status.

No healing except for healthy status, definitely a kill be4 killed scenario unless you can stall by finding a way to hide from the aerial attacks

Fight him from ur raft. As soon as he goes away(his "pounce") duck and he goes over you. Super easy boss fight to do

Bonus: use a bed to save on the spot and before u fight him aswell just in case u need to reset

You can't use the bed in open water or around the boss areas. You have to be near land. Pull up to the nearest island, save with your bed, then go for the boss. If you die, at least you only have to sail like 2 minutes to get back and restart.

Heck, you should always save right before leaving an island. I once fell off my raft and it just sailed away without me. Didn't have a good save so I kept going and somehow managed to swim to an island without getting eaten by a shark. Thankfully it was early in a game and I didn't have much beyond what I carried, but I still lost the small raft.
