How to hunt the culprit for Lighthouse Keeper in How to Fish

In the debut adventure of How to Fish, players are thrust straight into the mystery of the “Who Stole My Beer?” quest, which kicks off immediately after the tutorial sequence.

To get the ball rolling, you’ll need to chat with the Lighthouse Keeper and then purchase a Beer Can for a modest $12. This single item is all you require for the initial steps of the puzzle.

Once you’ve secured the Beer Can, select it from your inventory to transform it into an Empty Beer Can lure. Toss it toward the Lighthouse Keeper, and he will reward you with an empty can, propelling the investigation forward.

Equip the empty can as your bait and begin casting. Unlike conventional lures, this simple device will attract the formidable Spider Crab, the game’s most lethal predator. The true challenge starts when you haul this beast to the surface.

This creature is far from a typical crustacean. A mere punch will not suffice—my attempt ended in defeat and a costly loss. To defeat it, you must equip a knife before you bring it aboard. Playing in a cooperative session can ease the task, and while the Brass Knuckle offers some advantage, the knife remains the superior choice.

After vanquishing the Spider Crab, deliver its carcass to the Lighthouse Keeper to complete the quest. For players eager to unlock additional achievements, this guide offers further strategies.
