How to make your boat fly in How to Fish — I’m the Bird Now achievement
In How to Fish, players can unlock the “I’m the Bird Now” achievement by using dynamite to launch their boat into the air. The method matters because the boat is normally the main means of travel, and the achievement requires an unusual, potentially disruptive use of an in-game item.
Players must first unlock the boat at the lighthouse after defeating the Spider Crab boss, then travel to Island 2, where dynamite becomes available. Lighting and throwing dynamite at the front of the boat causes it to fly and immediately unlocks the achievement; players can reload their last save afterwards to return the boat to its original position while retaining the achievement.
In short
- Use dynamite to launch the boat and unlock the achievement.
- Unlock the boat after defeating the Spider Crab.
- Reload a save to restore the boat’s position.
Explained simply
How to Fish is a game in which players travel between islands by boat and catch fish. Progress brings new locations and equipment, including dynamite, an explosive item that can affect objects in the game.
The boat is central to getting around, so using an explosion to launch it is an unusual way to interact with it. Achievements are in-game rewards for completing specific tasks, and this one recognises that action.
