To defeat the How to Fish Giant Piranha boss you need to come prepared with adequate firepower and good movement and awareness. This is quite a significant step up from the How to Fish Spider Crab fight, as this big fish is a lot harder to kill and flops all over the place – I should also mention that it spits out regular piranhas too that also try to chomp you. If you're struggling to beat this boss, let me explain the best strategy for taking it down.

Before you even begin the Piranha boss fight in How to Fish, it's best to have an upgraded shotgun on you. It costs $150 and then you need to pay an additional $90 in total for three ammo upgrades, and there's an optional $140 laser sight upgrade too (dynamite fishing is by far the quickest way of getting enough money). Once you're equipped, get some How to Fish Leeches and reel in the Giant Piranha!

While the shotgun is very powerful, getting close to the Giant Piranha to deal maximum damage isn't without risk, so outmanoeuvring this boss is key. The Piranha isn't especially fast and can be kited around quite easily, so the best strategy is to sprint away from it, turn around and blast it with both barrels, then run away again as you reload. If the Piranha is far enough away that you can reload on the spot and fire another two shots, even better.

Use this method as you run around the grassy area of the island that doesn't have any trees and is away from the cabin as you'll always be able to see the Piranha and will know where to run.
