==How to Spearfish==
[[File:spearfishing overhaul3.png|400px]]
1. Equip your spearfishing gig, then dive underwater and use the actions "Fathom" or "Shark Eye" to identify the location of teeming waters.

===New Spearfishing Features===
'''Weak Spots'''


2. Target the teeming waters.
Fish are caught by striking their weak spot as they swim through the teeming waters.

3. After targeting the teeming waters, wait for bubbles appear.
Certain fish will have a distinctive appearance, indicating they are guaranteed to be [[Gatherer's Boon|large-sized]] when caught.


[[File:how to spearfish3.png|400px]]
[[File:spearfishing overhaul5.png|400px]]


4. When bubbles appear, a sea creature will approach, and you can use your gig to spear it.
'''Wariness'''


5. Successfully speared fish are added to your inventory.
Nearby fish will take notice of your actions in the teeming waters, their wariness represented by a gauge at the top of the spearfishing interface. Wariness increases slowly over time, as well as with each strike of your spear. When the gauge is full, the fish will disperse, ending your spearfishing attempt.


[[File:how to spearfish4.png|400px]]
[[File:spearfishing overhaul6.png|400px]]


6. In the event you fail to spear anything, you may try again so long as the teeming waters have not been fully depleted.
'''Catch Counter'''


7. Replacing the head of your gig will allow you to spear a larger variety of fish.
Successfully catching fish in quick succession will increase your catch counter (up to a maximum of ten), which slows the rate at which wariness increases. Be mindful, however, that the counter may reset should you go too long without catching any fish.


You can quit spearfishing at any time by hitting the escape key, the cancel button, or using the cancel action. Similar to fishing, all fish you spear are recorded in your Fishing Log, Fish Guide, and your Records.
