This is the part that pissed me off. You can catch the damn fish either in the Sea Cavern by the house or at the coast outside of it. Neither fishing spot is well advertised. I spent 2.5 hours there (check the game clock if you think I'm joking), and the enemies in the sea cavern are stronger than the ones we encounter elsewhere. This turned into an accidental grind session, so I am going to be overpowered for the remainder of this arc.
Otherwise, we dip into Daphan and grab B'baba. Had I done Riufan first, we could have gotten Lam, but we will get her later. The good news is that she is no longer glitched. In the base game, talking to her in her young form twice without Riufan permanently glitches her and she will never join. Expert coding FTW.
Afterward, we deliver the fish to Huang and get him to join, unlocking a lot of upgrades for the castle. I ended up doing everything I could while burning these 2.5 hours, so the castle is almost maxed for this stage of the game.
Lastly, since I am overpowered from getting the fish, I fight Riufan and you can see that I'm toying with him. He is probably meant to be tougher there, but once again, the balance is shot.
With those out of the way, we go into Hishahn Old Town where Carrie is required to do an impossible teleport. Afterward, there is a boss we have to fight, then we get our evidence to bring down Harlan. In the next part, we can bring this arc to a close and hopefully you can see my disappointment.
