The Barreleye is a small-sea fish that players can find and collect to use for a couple different recipes at the sushi restaurant. However, discovering this particular fish is no straightforward task.
As you might have anticipated, the Barreleye doesn’t come into play until later in the game. No worries, though, for the fish is easy to capture once you know where to look in Dave the Diver.
The Barreleye fish in Dave the Diver can be found in the Glacial Passage during the day. Known as the Glacier Passage to some, the area lies within the Sea People Village.
Players will unlock the passage as they progress through the game, particularly during Chapter 5: Frozen Passage. It’s located in the upper-middle section of the underwater village.
The area is home to a few features that should be mentioned. While the Glacial Passage is home to several other fish (Blobfish. Dumbo Octopus, Peacock Squid, Pelican Eel, and Vampire Squid), players will run into Gadons that lurk within. These individuals are mutated Sea People, and they cannot be killed.
Moreover, the Giant Gadon lies within the Glacial Passage, so be ready for a boss fight where tactical strategies are out the door in favor of a chase sequence. Upon entering the area, players won’t run into the Giant Gadon, though the monstrous foe will appear during Chapter 5.
Dave is equipped with various tools to help him explore the Blue Hole. He can use a few to capture a Barreleye, though players should always aim for the three-star retrieval.
Snatching the fish with a harpoon won’t result in a three-star catch. Therefore, it’s best to grab the Barreleye after using a tranquilizer or a net gun. Using either one will ultimately stun the enemy without any permanent harm being done to it.
