Seeking the Goldenfish: Locate the Goldenfish in cave pools. Area 6 of the Scarlet Forest is a good starting point. Use either Golden Bughead or Common Wood Minnow bait. Fallow weather conditions offer the highest spawning chance.

Fishing for Favor: Next, catch the Gravid Bowfin in the Scarlet Forest base camp during "Plenty" weather. Use the Emerald Jitterbait.

The Catch of a Lifetime!: Catch any large fish requiring the reeling minigame. Tuna in Area 17 of the Scarlet Forest is a reliable option.

After completing these quests, Kanya will assign the "Razzle Dazzle" quest, leading to the Monster (Squid) Hunter trophy/achievement. Here's how:

Go to Area 17 of the Scarlet Forest. Ensure "Downpour" weather in "Inclemency" (use the grill or camp to adjust). Enter the lake's deep end. Spot squids (if none appear, fast travel and return). Equip the Tentacle Jig and fish for squids with glowing blue shells. Reel in a Goliath Squid to unlock the trophy/achievement.
