SUPPLIED VISUAL REFERENCE · NOT SPECIES IDENTIFICATIONBefore your next cast.
Unlock Forest and collect three ground Leeches for the woman by the lake; her hand-in provides the encounter bait.
The journal reference calls the bait “Leech Bait”; the route source calls it “Modified Leech.” Return the Skeleton after the fight. The published combat advice predates the 1.0.12 rebalance.
Forest: collect three ground Leeches for the woman by the lake. Her Modified Leech summons the Giant Piranha; return its Skeleton for the Desert coordinates. Evidence ↗
Players stuck after Giant Piranha were told to return its distinctive quest trophy rather than meat. Published walkthroughs describe the same separation between the kill and the NPC hand-in. Evidence ↗
Confirm the journal entry

Reopen Tab after the encounter and compare the same name and variant. Only then copy the result into this site’s checklist. Its boxes are manual browser notes; they cannot detect a kill, alter the game journal, or confirm who received multiplayer credit. Read the guidance ↗
