Shredder is the monster that can be found on Paradise Island.
In order to catch Shredder, the player must complete the quests given by Cap'n Slappy. In his final quest, the Captain asks the player to buy some monster bait from Broken Rod Anglers Store (however, this is not necessary to catch Shredder) and tells the player to catch Shredder in the northern waters. After having caught Shredder, the player must return Shredder to the Captain to complete the quest and earn the Shredder badge.
Shredder can be caught during both the day and the night, in the northern region of the map, using the cast-and-wait method. Monster bait can be spread in areas where monsters can be caught; the presence of bubbles on the water surface indicates the monster is nearby. It is recommended to equip at least a Carbon Rod, ideally a Monster Hunter Rod, as well as Temporary Luck to increase the chances of a successful catch.
While waiting for a monster to bite, if Coco says "Patience...", it means that the spot is correct, and the monster will likely be caught on the next cast.
Prior to the June 2023 updates, it was possible to catch monsters using the cast-and-reel method in one of three or four spots, which were on a fixed schedule and changed daily. However, it is no longer possible to use this method to catch monsters, and the location is now random.
Shredder also got a new makeover in the June 2023 updates, and is now more vicious than ever, so be careful when out monster hunting!
Trivia[]
