How To Get All The Zapfish In Splatoon 2

Alright, squid kids and octolings! Let’s talk Zapfish. Those little glowing guys are kinda important, you know? Without them, Inkopolis is basically running on fumes. So, it's our job, as Agent 4 (or whichever agent number you are feeling today), to snag 'em all back from those pesky Octarians in Splatoon 2's Octo Canyon! Don't worry, it’s way more fun than it sounds. Think of it as a super-squidly scavenger hunt!

The Main Stages: Your Zapfish Buffet

The main course for Zapfish gathering is, obviously, the main stages. There are five sectors: Sector 1 - Tentakeel Outpost, Sector 2 - Canyon World, Sector 3 - Octo Oven, Sector 4 - Slimeskin Garrison, and Sector 5 - Underground Station. Each sector has multiple levels, and each level has a Zapfish at the end. So, that's a bunch of Zapfish already! It's like a Zapfish piñata, but instead of candy, you get… power for Inkopolis! (Okay, maybe not as tasty as candy, but still important!). Remember to explore every nook and cranny; sometimes, the path to victory is hidden behind a wall you can ink.

Pro Tip: Before jumping into a level, take a peek at the layout on the map. It can give you a head start and help you strategize your ink-slinging assault. Think of it as your Zapfish roadmap! Plus, sometimes you can spot those tricky hidden collectibles this way too. Two birds, one stonefish!

Kettle Conundrums: Side Dishes of Zapfish

Okay, so the main stages are the main event, but the kettles scattered around each sector are like delicious side dishes. These are the Octo Canyon’s challenge stages, and they are just as important as the main stages! They are a great way to test your skills, learn new weapon strategies, and of course, collect even more Zapfish!

There is often more than one kettle stage in each sector, so explore! Don’t just rush to the next main stage; take your time and see what hidden challenges await. You might be surprised at what you find. Besides, you never know when you might stumble upon some extra sweet gear. I mean, who doesn't love a stylish new hat to go with their Zapfish-saving antics?

Don't be afraid to try different weapons! Some levels are easier with a roller, others with a charger. Experiment and find what works best for you. I spent ages struggling with one level until I switched to the Splattershot Jr. and suddenly, bam! Victory! It's all about finding the right tool for the job.

Hero Mode Gear: Your Zapfish-Snatching Arsenal

Speaking of weapons, upgrading your gear in Hero Mode is essential. By collecting Sardinium and Power Eggs, you can upgrade your Hero Shot, your ink capacity, and your special weapons. Trust me, you'll need all the firepower you can get, especially in those later levels when the Octarians start getting really, really sneaky.

Prioritize upgrading your ink tank. Running out of ink in the middle of a firefight is a one-way ticket to getting splatted. Think of it as keeping your squid engine fueled up and ready to go! Also, don't forget about your bombs! They can be lifesavers when you're surrounded by enemies or trying to take down a tough boss. Bombs are your friends! Especially the Burst Bomb. Oh, the Burst Bomb.

Boss Battles: The Ultimate Zapfish Gauntlet

At the end of each sector, you'll face a big, bad boss. These battles are challenging, but they are also incredibly rewarding, and always have a Zapfish to add to your collection! Each boss has its own unique weakness, so you’ll need to observe their patterns and strategize accordingly. Some of these guys can get really tough if you don’t know what you’re doing. Look for clues and take your time to find openings. Rushing in is usually a bad idea!

Teamwork makes the dream work! Okay, so technically you're on your own in Hero Mode, but think of Cap'n Cuttlefish as your moral support! And maybe Sheldon, though his weapon spiels can get a little... lengthy. But seriously, don't give up! Each boss battle is a learning experience. Even if you get splatted a dozen times, you're getting closer to figuring out their weakness. Persistence is key, my friend!

So there you have it! That’s how you become a Zapfish-grabbing machine in Splatoon 2. It's all about exploring, experimenting, and not being afraid to get a little bit splattered. So go out there, Agent 4, and bring those Zapfish home! Inkopolis is counting on you! You got this!
