How to get Sea Urchin
- Reach Desert Island. It is stage 3 of the main route and follows the yellow Radar marker.
- Use the Fishing Rod with Standard Lure. The result counts as a special entry even though it comes from a rod pool.
- Land the special catch, complete any required combat and secure it before returning to the checklist.
- Open the Tab encyclopedia after the catch and confirm the base entry before moving to the next directory row.
Do not plan around the base value alone
Killscore, cooking and route use can make a catch more important than its raw coin number. Quest items should be handed in before considering a sale.
Desert Island context
The Standard Lure stage combines an endangered-creature trade, a Carrot-triggered story boss and the optional Grillmaster route.
Unlock: Return the Giant Piranha trophy and follow the yellow Radar marker.
Island route tip
