DAVE THE DIVER – Marinca / FishMon Guide

Gotta fish’em all.

Guide to Marinca/ FishMon

This guide focuses on hard-to-find species only. It covers species that are locked by certain events or biomes, or ones most divers have trouble finding. Any species not in this guide should be easy for all divers to get. You won’t see common species here.

3 Star Marine Cards

To acquire 3 star Marine Cards, you must catch each species alive, which means you need to either tranquilize them or capture them with a net gun. However, there are exceptions where tranquilizer and ordinary net gun are not enough.

Steel Net Gun

Steel Net Gun is the final upgrade of Net Gun. It will become available once you complete the sub mission The Sea Peeple’s Workshop.

The following three cards can only be 3 star with the Steel Net Gun.

• No. 0123 Sally Lightfoot Crab
• No. 0204 Bluespotted Stargazer
• No. 0207 Spider Crab.

I was able to tranquilize Marbled Electric Ray before but couldn’t find the angle to initiate drone. But the Steel Net Gun makes the prompt for drone easier.

Drone

For every medium and large fish, you need the drone to capture them alive. Without the drone, you can only carve them twice for 2 star rating.

The drone will become available once you encounter the Tuna Yacht Party.
