✦ How to catch it

  • Find the Lost Dimetrodon route early, but treat the first sighting as a marker — don't start the fight while still cleaning collectables.
  • Return with enough line, a stronger hook and empty storage. It's a moving multi-hit fish that punishes weak hook damage.
  • Lead the fish — aim ahead of where it's moving, not where it currently is. It pulls away as you approach.
  • If you keep running out of line or dive time, leave, upgrade line length or hook, and come back through the cleanest shortcut.

◆ Prepping it cleanly

  • Catching is not the finish line — Lost Dimetrodon isn't done until it's prepped.
  • Pan the camera to see the full sail-backed body before starting.
  • Work in controlled passes; slow down around the sail, head and tight highlighted sections.
  • Don't rush the final cuts once most of the bar is full.
