 The Fisherman Character - Death Stranding 2 camzillasmom.com

The Fisherman was born and raised in a colony of preppers on the shores of an enormous tar lake in central Australia. The colony was small, and its people survived on fish caught in the tar. One day, the Fisherman and his mates went out to catch the biggest of them – a giant beast known only as the Lord of the Tar Lake.

After sailing south for three days, they finally encountered their quarry near Lakeside Fort Knot (F5). But their delight quickly soured as they realised the Lord of Tar Lake was no legendary fish—it was a giant catcher!

The crew panicked, but before they could turn the ship around, they were struck by a huge wave. His mates were flung overboard, where they were quickly swallowed up by the monster. The Fisherman was left to fall into the abyss below, dragged down by his own ship.

By the time he regained consciousness, he had washed up on the tar lake’s southern shore. Two twin brothers had found him, tended to his wounds, and explained that a powerful whirlpool seemed to have brough him ashore, but a catastrophic voidout had destroyed his colony, and Lakeside Fort Knot with it.

Ever since that day, the Fisherman has vowed to finish his hunt and destroy the Lord of the Tar Lake.

Each Knot City and Shelter has a five-star reward system, granting rewards and upgrades with every star reached. Gain more reputation by delivering goods. APAS firmware upgrades, bandwidth increases, and Material Allotment increases are granted with every star reward. Shelters additionally offer Sam a place to rest at the 5-Star level.

It’s a quick and convenient way to make a Porter’s job a whole lot easier.

It all began in the ’80s when I was just 7 years old. Starting with basic arcade games, I soon delved into titles like Loom and Monkey Island by Lucasarts. Throughout the years, as I indulged in more and more games, I consistently sought clear guides to swiftly navigate my gameplay. Now, it’s my turn to contribute back to the community.
