Four shark milestones
The Discord lists Water mastery, at least two minutes swimming, the Stranded Sharkman’s rainwater bowl quest, and the Scarlet Slowcoach’s sinful sacrifice. Use the existing route below for directions and mode unlock details.
Preparation
Learn the first four Water techniques. The progression NPC waits in a hidden underwater cave in Biyo Sea. The four shark objectives can overlap.
Four shark objectives
| Objective | Action |
|---|---|
| Fresh water | Collect rainwater in a bowl and help the stranded shark-man in Sorythia. |
| Sacrifice quest | Use the lie/distraction outcome with the red-haired NPC near the Stunning Stylist. |
| Water practice | Repeatedly use the first four Water attacks. |
| Swimming | Swim until the shark-awakening prompt; the guide reports widely varying times. |
Claim the mode
Once all four statues are active, speak to the true shark-man for Hoshigaki Affinity. The recorded skill cost is the affinity, 40 Acumen and one Chakra Fragment. Water practice may complete without a notification.
One-time quest warning
The 2024 guide says the ordinary distraction outcome does not satisfy the sacrifice objective. It does not demonstrate a recovery method for an already completed wrong outcome; verify current dialogue before considering a wipe.
