How to capture Horned Parrotfish?

[Tenjou]

How exactly do you catch the horned Parrotfish? Everything I toss at it is being repelled or nullified.

SOLVED: Lure it down to the location you hear the beeping effect from the FishMon playing then hit it (I did with a harpoon), it will go unconscious and prompt you to pick it up. If you attack it anywhere else, then you can’t catch it. SMH, this was really dumb.

Thank you for this, this worked. Wasted so much time and had to ditch it once. This capture mechanic is horribly communicated and goes against everything the game tells you up to this point. Actually infuriating.

Hush darts from behind has zero effect. The three dots don’t even appear over its head.

I can confirm this. I had a shock harpoon that I picked up and that eventually paralyzed it and Udo called in and told me to pick grab the fish

For anyone else coming here super confused, I tried every non-lethal way of capturing it. Turned out just smacking it with my harpoon a few times “knocked it unconscious”… super misleading.

Not sure if they updated it at some point but the guides saying to use the hush dart or hammer will waste your life. Just smack it around with whatever you have (not sure if guns will work…) and you’ll eventually get a communication from the dude that gave you the mission.

First, thanks to this thread for saying where to actually find the fish (i.e., on the literal opposite end of the map from where the game says it is).

I was able to catch the fish by shooting it several times from behind with the tranq upgrade of the basic starter rifle. I'm not sure the tranq part mattered, since the fish didn't do the normal sleep animation, so it might be possible to just shoot the thing with a normal gun.

as everyone else said, Hit the stoopid fish with the stoopid harpoon, you "incapacitate it"

mosin nagant it, goes right through the armor and each shot is a 50/50 toss up giving you three chances so depending on how it goes with your luck
