Grillmaster: the Desert cooking contact

Deliver Blue Shark to unlock grill use, then learn cooking with replaceable catches while protecting story items.

Blue Shark delivery and grill access

Route coverage: the documented Patch 1.0.10 progression baseline. Follow the objective and item names shown in your game; these notes do not claim a new playtest of the current patch.

Bring the body, not just the kill

The Grillmaster route calls for Blue Shark from the Standard Boss Lure encounter. Locate the destination before fighting and deliver the defeated body directly, so it never becomes an accidental sale or meal.

Start with a catch you can replace

After the interaction opens the grill, test it with ordinary fish and watch their cooking state. Prepare food before the next boss attempt rather than trying to manage a hot grill while a fight is underway.

Keep the Tourist’s cargo separate

Grill access supports survival and income, but the Desert story exit belongs to the Tourist and Pufferfish. Leave the Carrot and fin out of cooking experiments. Check the Grillmaster achievement after the unlock interaction if you are tracking completion.
