To get Fishipedia in Dazed Games’ Steam game How to Fish, find and kill every drip creature variant, using the Tab encyclopedia to track which drip entries are still missing.
Fishipedia is one of the 28 Steam achievements in How to Fish, the physics-based fishing-and-shooting game from Dazed Games where you gun down sea creatures, upgrade a boat, and fight your way across five islands. It sits at the completionist end of the list, and unlike a single quest or boss kill, it asks you to clear an entire category of creature. The good news is that the game hands you the exact tool you need to finish it.
What the Fishipedia achievement requires
Fishipedia unlocks when you have found and killed every drip creature in the game. Drip creatures are a distinct type with their own set of variants, and the achievement only pops once all of them are accounted for.
The right time to chase it is after you finish the story. Once the credits roll, you wake back up on island 1 carrying all of your endgame gear, with free access to all five islands. Hunting drips mid-playthrough only wastes attempts you could be spending on progression, so save this one for the cleanup phase when you can roam anywhere and everything dies in a shot or two.
Tracking drip variants in the encyclopedia
Press Tab to open the in-game encyclopedia. It catalogs every creature in How to Fish, and it lists drip variants separately from the standard entries, which is what makes it the backbone of this achievement. The tutorial mentions it in passing, but it is easy to forget the screen exists.
Key What the encyclopedia gives you is a clean checklist: any entry still blank is a drip you have not killed yet. What it does not give you is a location. It confirms which variants are outstanding but never points to where they spawn, so you still have to go island by island and hunt the gaps yourself.
Open the Tab encyclopedia before every hunt — the blank drip entries are your live to-do list, so you never waste time re-killing variants you already have.
Finish the story first
Beat the game so you respawn on island 1 with endgame gear and all five islands unlocked.
Open the encyclopedia
Press Tab to bring up the creature list with drip variants tracked on their own.
Note the missing drips
Scan for the blank drip entries — those are the exact variants you still need.
Revisit each island
Travel to the islands where your gaps are and search out the drip creatures there.
Kill each drip on sight
Take out every drip variant as it spawns; they stand out clearly once they appear.
Recheck until it’s clean
Reopen Tab after your kills and repeat until no drip entry is left blank, at which point Fishipedia unlocks.
Grinding out the last drip variants
This is less a puzzle than a patience test. Drip creatures are obvious the moment they show up, so you are never guessing whether you found one, and they respawn indefinitely — nothing here can be permanently missed. If a variant is not appearing, it is a matter of returning to the right island and waiting it out rather than hunting some rare one-time spawn.
Drip creatures and the Reel of Fortune
One thing worth clearing up: drip creatures have a second use at the Reel of Fortune slot machine, where you feed them in to gamble for skins. That is a separate pursuit. Fishipedia cares only about killing every drip variant for the encyclopedia — so if you are chasing this achievement, put your drips toward the kill count, not the machine.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you still get Fishipedia after finishing the story?
Yes, and that is the intended time to do it. Beating the game drops you back on island 1 fully geared with every island open, and because drip creatures keep respawning, there is no window you can lock yourself out of by waiting.
Does the encyclopedia show where missing drip creatures spawn?
No. The Tab list tells you exactly which drip variants are still outstanding, but it gives no location for any of them. Treat it as a checklist and clear it with island-by-island sweeps, rechecking after each kill.
