Possible Bug, can't loot pink box after defeating squid.

[Wharfy]

The cutscene said the box is pinned under a tentacle. When I approach the box, I get the prompt to press X. When i press X, Dave just shrugs. What am I missing?

I watched a YouTube video of someone defeating the squid and just looting the box no problem.

hold it, don't just press it. it's the same as harvesting a shark

Yeah it was a bug for sure. I was holding the button and it didn't work. I restarted the game and redid the boss fight and it opened on the first try

It happened to me too. I dont think it is a bug, as I was overweight and unable to pick up more items. Once I discarded some loot I was able to harvest the tentacle, and had to discard even more loot to collect the box.

So, check weight limits.

I had the same 'bug' it was definitely due to being over my max weight

Unfortunately being overweight isn't a bug. I tend to do those boss missions on purpose dives. I do that stuff first, then I fish so I have no weight issues for the story stuff. Or, I just use one dive slot for fishing and then work on a specific goal with the other dive slot, filling out the limit afterwards if I feel like it.

The game never makes you do something. There is no penalty for waiting. Events will repeat if you miss them. If you aren't prepared for something, like being overweight, then skip it and come back later. No penalties for doing so.
