Entity facts retain the guide’s Patch 1.0.10 snapshot (2026-08-28); the newly written notes are not a current-build playtest. Fixed values are raw bases, not guaranteed sale offers.

Collect the quest items before fishing for the boss

Leech is a Forest Island ground-pickup entry with no rod requirement. The reviewed quest route uses three Leeches in the exchange for Leech Bait.

Keep the creature and the resulting bait distinct: the pickups are what you gather and hand in; Leech Bait is what starts the Giant Piranha fishing encounter.

Protect the complete set

The recorded Leech base is only 4 coins. Selling or otherwise using a needed pickup can be a poor trade if it leaves the quest set incomplete.

Count the three items before the hand-in and check the quest response before continuing. This page does not assign exact ground coordinates that have not been independently checked against the current island layout.
