Need help with the 'Catch Me a Big Fish' request in Resident Evil 4 Remake? Find the Lunker Bass location and learn how to catch it easily with this quick guide.
Alright, so you've made it to Chapter 4 and you're ready to take on some of those side requests, huh? The 'Catch Me a Big Fish' one is a good way to get some extra Spinels, but you'll need the boat for this. Make sure you've progressed the story enough to have free rein over the lake.
First, you'll want to head to the Lakeside Settlement. It's located up in the northwest part of the lake. Be ready, because this area usually has a good number of enemies hanging around. Once you land your boat at the dock, make your way north. You'll come across a gate that needs the Insignia Key. Unlock it, and then follow the path to the left. You'll see a couple of barrels you can break for some goodies, and just to the right of those, you'll find the request note.
This request is pretty straightforward: catch a 'gigantic fish'. The note will even show you a picture of where a fish like that was last spotted. If you look closely at the details, you'll see you're actually hunting for a specific type of fish: the Lunker Bass.
- 1Head to the Boathouse: The picture attached to the request might look familiar. That spot is the Boathouse, which is located down in the southern part of the lake map. Hop in your boat and head south.
- 2Spot the Lunker Bass: As you get closer to the Boathouse, start keeping a close eye on the water. The Lunker Bass tends to hang out in the area just north of the Boathouse. It's a pretty big fish, so you should be able to spot it swimming around.
- 3Harpoon the Fish: Once you've found it, it's time to catch it! You'll use your boat's harpoon for this. Hold down the aim button ( / ) and then use the throw button ( / ) to launch it.
- 4Aim Smart: The best strategy here is to get your boat right up close to the fish. Then, quickly aim your harpoon just a little bit in front of where the fish is moving and fire. If you miss, don't worry! Just keep adjusting your aim ahead of it and try again. You'll know you've hit it when you see a pool of blood appear beneath it.
- 5Collect and Sell: Once the fish is down, carefully bring your boat near its body to collect it. Now, all you need to do is take this Lunker Bass to any Merchant you find and sell it to them.
