Where To Find Moray Eel

The Moray Eel can only be found at night in the Blue Hole Shallows, specifically between depths of 0 to 50 meters. The thrill of night diving becomes available once Otto makes his grand entrance at Bancho Sushi in Chapter 2, which starts the “A Noisy Customer” quest.

Moray Eels prefer to hover close to the water’s surface, often found tucked away in the expansive spaces between corals and rock formations. Recognizable by their dark grey color and serpent-like form, these creatures are substantial in size and length.

The Moray Eels seen in their holes during day dives are NOT catchable.

To help players on the “A Noisy Customer” mission, each Eel is signified by a light blue tilted square, guiding you towards the creature. We advise employing a firearm, preferably a sniper rifle or any other advanced weapon, to subdue the Eel before landing the final blow with a harpoon, as with other marine creatures.

Harpooning a Moray Eel in Dave the Diver
Moray Eels can be captured using a harpoon.

Another good strategy is just repeatedly harpooning it until you catch it. Moray Eels can be harpooned, meaning you catch it rather than just hitting it with a fatal blow. You could keep hitting it with the harpoon and abuse the “animation,” which will reset the Eel’s position after it escapes the harpoon, allowing you to hit it again. However, be vigilant of their potentially devastating attacks and evade them as deftly as possible.

How to Serve Moray Eel

Once you capture a Moray Eel, return to your sushi restaurant, and you can now serve Moray Eel Sushi. This is a good dish and can fetch a hefty price once ranked up to a high level.

Upon successfully capturing the Moray Eel, head back to your sushi restaurant, enter the Recipe Research menu, and unlock the Moray Eel Curry recipe. This dish is required to complete the “A Noisy Customer” quest. Here are the ingredients needed to make the dish:

  • 2 Moray Eel Sushi (this can be obtained from just one Eel)
  • 1 Tumeric

The Curry requires the Eel and Turmeric, which are nestled among other ingredients in various cooking pots scattered around the Blue Hole. Alternatively, you can delegate the task of spice collection to your team, who can be dispatched to get Turmeric for you.
