To eat a burnt creature in How to Fish, unlock the grill, summon the cheap Island 2 mini-boss with the Beginner Boss Lure, kill it, cook it until it turns solid black, then eat it.
Burn a killed mini-boss until it turns solid black, then eat it to unlock the Yummy in my tummy achievement in How to Fish, the co-op physics fishing game from Dazed Games on Steam. Take the body to the grill and leave it over the heat until it goes past cooked and becomes fully charred. That solid-black state is the whole trick — a normally cooked fish will not count.
What the achievement counts as a burnt creature
A burnt creature is fully charred, not lightly grilled. On the grill, a body’s value climbs from 1x to 1.5x and then collapses to 0 as it chars. Eat that solid-black result to unlock Yummy in my tummy. Use a mini-boss for this route: the cheapest one is quick to summon and kill, so you can finish the achievement without sacrificing a valuable catch.
What you need before you start burning
| Need | How to get it |
|---|---|
| Grill access | Finish the Grillmaster quest on Island 3 by delivering a shark |
| Beginner Boss Lure | Buy it on Island 2 for $40, the cheapest mini-boss summon |
| A mini-boss body | Fish up and kill the mini-boss the lure summons |
| Solid-black burnt state | Hold the body over the grill until its cooking multiplier hits 0 |
You need grill access and a creature to cook. Complete the Grillmaster quest on Island 3 by bringing the grill master a shark, and he will hand over the grill. Press F to inspect an item and track its cooking multiplier while it sits over the flame. Use that live readout to pull cooked food at the right moment or keep the mini-boss cooking until it is completely burnt. For the body, buy the Beginner Boss Lure on Island 2. It summons the easiest mini-boss fight in the game. Bring enough firepower to kill it cleanly, plus a couple of cooked fish for healing if it fights back.
The lure costs $40 in a multiplayer run. Solo prices differ for some gear, but lures cost the same in both modes.
Buy the Beginner Boss Lure
On Island 2, buy the $40 Beginner Boss Lure, the cheapest mini-boss summon in the game.
Fish up and kill the mini-boss
Equip the lure, reel in the mini-boss, and kill it. This is the easiest boss fight, and any decent weapon will finish the job.
Carry the body to the grill
Carry the killed creature back to the grill you unlocked on Island 3.
Hold it over the heat
Hold the body over the flame and keep it there past the normal cooked state.
Inspect with F as it cooks
Press F to track the cooking multiplier. It rises to 1.5x, then drops toward 0.
Wait until it turns solid black
Leave the creature over the flame until the multiplier falls all the way to 0 and its body turns solid black. Do not pull it off at 1.5x; that is cooked, not burnt.
Eat the burnt creature
Eat the solid-black creature to unlock Yummy in my tummy.
Hold F on the body the entire time it’s over the flame — eat it when the value multiplier reaches 0 and the creature is solid black. This prevents you from pulling it off at 1.5x by mistake.
The Competitive eating overlap and what to avoid
Key Burn a mini-boss to unlock two achievements with one bite. Eating a mini-boss unlocks Competitive eating, so using the Beginner Boss Lure’s creature as your burnt meal awards both achievements from the same action. Burn only this one deliberate creature: charred food has no sell value and restores almost no health or hunger. Cook everything else to 1.5x and pull it off the grill there.
