There's no shortage of sharks in Dave The Diver, especially when you unlock all the regions. You can easily defeat and get meat from ten or more sharks in each run, but things change when it comes to the Great White Shark Klaus. You'll have to meet some specific conditions if you want to fight it.
Even if you meet all the conditions, you only get one shot at finding the boss and you might have to wait for many days before you can get it again. Here's how you can easily locate its hideout and not waste your chance.
How To Find The Great White Shark Klaus
If you've recently started playing Dave The Diver, you'll have to wait for quite a while before you can even think about getting this boss. The first thing you have to do is get far enough into the main story where you meet an NPC called Sato and unlock the Marinca app. This app lets you track all the fishes that you've acquired and their quality.
Once you unlock Marinca and Night Diving through a cutscene in Bancho Sushi, Sato will randomly appear near your boat on one of the nights and tell you that a rare boss appears in the ocean during stormy nights. You can dive during these nights to find a vortex that can lead you to a boss fight.
Your first and second bosses through this process will always be Truck Hermit Crab and Mantis Shrimp respectively.
Once you've defeated both the bosses mentioned above, a special quest will trigger on a random stormy day. This has a higher chance of happening when you get the shark event. When the quest starts, you'll see an old lady called Clara come to your boat on her raft.
She'll tell you that the Great White Shark Klaus can now be found in the ocean only on stormy nights. She'll also mention that her husband was killed by the hands of this shark, and ask for your assistance in finding its hideout. You're supposed to call her as soon as you locate it, but things won't go as planned.
If you jump into the water on the same night or any other stormy night, you'll be able to start the boss battle by locating a white vortex. This can be found anywhere between the depths of zero to 50 meters, but there's a higher chance that it'll spawn on the far right side of the Blue Hole.
You'll hear a distinct sound of a storm rumbling whenever you're close to the vortex.
This sound will be directional and you can simply follow it to easily reach the place.
How To Prepare For The Great White Shark Klaus Fight
This is going to be one of the hardest boss battles in Dave The Diver, and you only get one shot at it. You can restart the battle if you're defeated in between but it won't help if you're unprepared. The first thing you'd want to do before this fight is to get a nice upgrade for one of your weapons.
You'd want to keep as much distance from the enemy as possible, so weapons like Sniper Rifle and Grenade Launcher are the best.
Once you dive and locate the portal, swim around the ocean and open every yellow and weapon chest you can find. This can give you portable oxygen tanks and upgrades for your current weapon. It's important to have a portable tank during this fight because you'll only have one oxygen refill tube on the battlefield.
Finally, you can also try to get some good Harpoon upgrades like Poison or Flame so that they deal regular damage to the enemy.
How To Defeat The Great White Shark Klaus
Once you enter the battlefield, you'll realize that you can't call Clara and have to hold your ground until she arrives at the scene. You'll have to dodge the shark's attack and deal a certain amount of damage to it to finish the battle. Here are all the attacks you'll see from it:
Dash Attack | If the shark is far away from you, it'll do a dash attack where it swims toward Dave at very high speed. This attack can be dodged by going out of the shark's trajectory, but it can let the shark get close to you. |
|---|---|
Bite Attack | When Klaus is close to you, it'll perform a charged bite attack where it stays still for a second and then launches itself at you while biting. She can also change her direction during this, making it very hard to dodge. |
Whirlpool Attack | Every few seconds, the shark will go to the right side of the field and launch whirlpools at you. The whirlpool will be alternatively launched on the top and bottom sides of the battlefield. If the shark has taken enough damage, this attack will be enhanced and the whirlpools will start moving vertically up and down while coming straight at you. |
When Klaus is performing an attack, focus on dodging it instead of trying to hit it with your weapon. It goes into a little downtime after every attack, which provides the perfect opportunity to attack it. After dealing enough damage, Clara will appear on the scene and defeat the enemy, putting an end to the battle.
You can harvest Klaus' meat to unlock a recipe called White Shark Omelet in the Research tab. It only takes one Artisan's Flame to get this recipe and you can serve it to ten people. Although, you can only use it once. You'll also unlock the Shark Teeth Necklace Charm from this quest, which increases the damage of your Harpoon by 15 percent.
