Giant Squid

The first major boss — a massive squid guarding the passage to deeper waters. Attacks with tentacle slams and ink clouds that obscure your vision.

Strategy: Use the Tranq Dart to stun it, then target its eyes for critical damage. When it releases an ink cloud, swim away quickly — you cannot see attacks coming. Bring at least 3 healing items. A level 2+ harpoon makes this fight significantly easier.
