Dave The Diver: Where To Get The Pelican Eel Skin

In Dave The Diver, the only location to find Pelican Eels is inside the Glacial Passage, a relatively short passage behind the Sea People Village. The Pelican Eel Skin is a drop obtained by killing this eel.

The Glacial Passage is relatively sparse in terms of sea life that calls it home, and you’ll only find six species of fish here. The Pelican Eel looks like any regular eel but with a brownish-green skin tone that blends against the background.

How To Get The Pelican Eel Skin

A key ingredient to upgrade to the Steel Net Gun, Pelican Eel skins can be obtained after killing or capturing a Pelican Eel. The Glacial Passage can only be entered after reaching Chapter 4 in the story. So, if you’re looking to upgrade your Net Gun earlier on, progress the main story missions until you reach this point where you’ll be introduced to this area automatically.

The Pelican Eel can be found at the start of the Glacial Passage. You’ll find this area by taking the portal in the Sea People village up to the Tenzhin’s Palace and activating the snowy mountain just to the right of it.

Solve the puzzles there to unlock two doors that are blocking the path down. As soon as you pass the second door, you’ll see a muddy brown Eel with a red dot on top of it, indicating it is an aggressive fish. This is the Pelican Eel.

It is completely unnecessary to worry about catching the Pelican Eel alive if your goal is only to get the Pelican Eel’s skin. Simply take the Eel out using your most powerful weapon and press and hold Spacebar to claim a piece of Pelican Eel skin.

The Pelican Eel is a rare spawn, and you might have to revisit the Glacial Passage a couple of times in order to get all three pieces of Pelican Eel skin needed for the upgrade. It is an aggressive species that likes to perform lunge attacks for sudden bursts of damage like a shark. Move out of the way and deal damage to take it down. Bring your strongest upgraded weapon to take it down.

How To Upgrade To The Steel Net Gun

If you’re looking to upgrade your Net Gun to Steel Net Gun, you’ll need the following items.

• Large Net Gun
• 1 Steel Rope
• 3 Pelican Eel Skin
• 20 Topaz
• 3400 Gold

We’ve already discussed how to find the Pelican Eel skin in the Glacial Passage, but the other ingredients can be farmed by playing through the game normally and exploring the region.

Gold can be obtained by turning a profit at the Sushi bar or by selling valuables, Topaz can be found in late game areas as an ore, Steel Rope can be found in the overworld and can be bought by the Sea People at a later point in the game, and a Large Net Gun will need to be crafted by upgrading your Net Gun.
