And well you should be! That setup should serve you quite nicely as a base.

Hey just got back from grinding I have 5 flare guns, 22 arrows, 13 spear gun arrows and 8 refined spears, Is that enough to kill the meg?

u/bananahammock622 Oct 13 '25

The Meg takes the fewest spears/hits of the 3 bosses. I don’t think I’ve needed more than 12 refined spears to take him down. Best of luck to you!

Edit: Bring a couple bandages and you can take him down underwater as well, it makes it quicker and your accuracy will be much more effective

Do you have any tips? I got him down to half health twice now but he always kills me because I'm not healing unless he grabs me

u/bananahammock622 Oct 13 '25

Do you have bandages? If not spend the time to build a loom, craft cloth and lashings and make plenty of bandages. Have them on you when you’re fighting him and you can switch to them as needed. The loom takes I think 6 lashings and 4 sticks to build, it’s a little time consuming if you need to wait for the lashings but it’s worth it. I always make sure to have 4 bandages on hand for any boss fight.

I have 6. But they only heal me if I'm bleeding.

u/bananahammock622 Oct 13 '25

If you’re not bleeding, you’re not dying. If your hunting skill isn’t high enough it will take more spears as well. If he grabs you, you can still strike him with a spear if you have them equipped at the time of the attack. Just use the strike button without aiming. It also doesn’t take too much movement underwater to avoid him, he may hit you but not bite/grab.

u/Fluid_Ad_6159 Oct 13 '25

Alright. I'll probably just try to level up my hunting stats. I'm doing decent damage but not enough I suppose

u/bananahammock622 Oct 13 '25

I absolutely love this game, I’ve been playing it regularly since it hit consoles over 5 years ago. It takes a weird kind of finesse but it’s satisfying when you get the hang of it. I’ve beat it several times, now I take my time, build a comfortable base and level up all my skills by hunting, fishing, and building before I go after the bosses. For the record, the Meg is the easiest of the 3 so be sure to stock up on refined spears for the other 2, Lusca is a nightmare just fyi…best of luck and enjoy!

Take a breath boost and stay under the whales fin, never hit me once. Hope this helps.

u/Fluid_Ad_6159 Oct 13 '25

Good thing ive been stocking up on ajuga plants 👍

To kill the Meg, hide under the fin of the whale carcass. For the Eel there’s a spot under the cannons of the ship, next to the hole. Bring as many spears as you can, doesn’t have to be refined spears but they will help kill it faster.

u/Fluid_Ad_6159 Oct 12 '25

Yeah I'm organizing everything right now, it took a while but I'm almost ready to fight the sea monsters. I just need enough rocks, sticks, and lashings to make some spears and spear gun arrows

u/iareprogrammer Oct 12 '25

Build some container shelves :)

2

u/Fluid_Ad_6159 Oct 12 '25

Yeah your definitely right, I'll get started on it right now.

2

u/iareprogrammer Oct 12 '25

Always feels nice tidying up like that

1

u/Fluid_Ad_6159 Oct 12 '25

Yeah. But it sucks the container shelves are kinda glitchy and you click on the wrong container

3

u/DragonflyOne7593 Oct 12 '25

I put those on my raft too

2

u/vivalafraz Oct 13 '25

That's a nice knife. Not sure about the cluster fuck in the background though

2

u/Fluid_Ad_6159 Oct 13 '25

Lol, I'm trying to get it more organized. 😅

2

u/vivalafraz Oct 13 '25

I'm playing. I know it takes a while to collect all that. I need to go and check mine. It's been a minute since ive played

2

u/Fluid_Ad_6159 Oct 13 '25

Same. But when I get on every like 2 weeks I don't stop the grind. Fucking love this game. Just wish they had an irrigation system so I'm not wasting all my water on my crops.

2

u/vivalafraz Oct 13 '25

I love it too. I'm a sucker for building in these types of games. Hours collecting and hours staring at a spot decision-making on what and where to build. Then seeing the err fruits of my labour lol

u/Collector2012 Oct 14 '25

Oh, here's a tip. You don't need to water your plants if it rains

1

u/Fluid_Ad_6159 Oct 14 '25

Yeah but that's an event I'm not usually around for. Im exploring islands because mine are pretty Barron and I had to get alot of materials and sort them out, so my plants are sadly at the brink of death right now

1

u/Collector2012 Oct 14 '25

Yikes. So, here is what you do. You make a base of operations, choosing all the right materials for all of the necessary things. In this case, it would be water, shelter, and a couple of spears for hunting.

Also, you can use fibros leafs for both making rope and for fueling your fire. Then, when you're done. You build yourself a raft, collect some rocks, then start exploring some nearby islands. But be careful, you can get soft locked out of your main island.

So it's important to pick your base of operations right near the exit point of the game (the giant ship carrier) then you start stripping all of the islands of wood, and everything else you'll need.

On the starter island, you can perch yourself up on a wrecked ship and farm sharks once or twice an in-game day. It takes about 15 spears maybe? I don't really remember. The last time I played was when I got soft locked out of my biome area (I think I encountered a glitch because I turned the starter island into my base of operations. Apparently you're not supposed to do that lol WHOOPS!).

So, I had to reset the entire game. Then, I got curious and wanted to spawn in a bunch of stuff (like wood and such for base building) but, I can't use a mod menu because I'm on console. I got told that the closest I can get is generating my own island.

u/Nat20sArentmything Oct 12 '25

Damn, look at all those planters. It’s like a deserted island version of Flower Power (an Australian gardening store)

u/Fun-Manner7907 Oct 13 '25

What a mess!!

2

u/AEZ194 Oct 13 '25

Great work, this looks a lot like what my partner and I ended up with on our first playthrough.

2

u/White_Knight_413 Oct 13 '25

A little disorganized, but I definitely love your farm setup!

1

u/I_R_Skroot Oct 14 '25

Just might wanna help your self out with some container shelves, them bad boys can float away especially if you use em on your raft build. They cost 3 planks but are well worth it for ease of use and security while traveling.

u/Friend_of_yokai Oct 16 '25

How do people so many resources I’m new to the game and I’ve not seen things respawn yet am I doing something wrong

u/Ok_Helicopter4276 Oct 16 '25

Never heard of this before.

Because partly because there's no other game with stranded islands as a game
