Special Wave Information	Grillers spawn and will target and chase after one player. Smallfries accompany Grillers and will attack players.

Attack the Spinning Tails

To defeat Grillers, you'll need to ink the four rotating tails on the grill. You'll need to splat them all at once as failing to splat one tail causes three more to spawn!

Grillers Target and Chase One Player

Grillers will target and chase after one player indicated by a red reticle and line on the player. If you're targeted by the Griller, lure it away from other players so they can safely splat the tails!

Grillers Can Splat in One Hit

Grillers will rush towards targeted players to try and run them over. This attack is an instant splat so watch out and keep a safe distance from this dangerous Boss Salmonid!

The Griller Strategies and How to Beat

Focus on Attacking Grillers and Smallfries Lure Grillers to Higher Ground Lure Grillers Away from Egg Containers

Focus on Attacking Grillers and Smallfries

At the start of the wave, players not targetted by the Griller should focus on clearing out the Smallfries and attacking the Griller.

While it's possible to defeat the Griller on your own, it's best to team up with another player so you can quickly defeat these dangerous Boss Salmonids.

Lure Grillers Away from the Team

If you're the target of the Griller, avoid running towards the team and instead lure them away and in open areas where your teammates have a clearer shot of the spinning tails.

Lure Grillers to Higher Ground

Grillers can't clumb up slopes and platforms and instead will get stuck on walls, leaving them very vulnerable to getting splatted.

If you're the target player, lure the Grillers to high ground and stay where you are so your teammates have an easier time dealing with these Boss Salmonids.

Lure Grillers Away from Egg Containers

Make sure to lure Grillers away from Egg Containers. While these Boss Salmonids only target one player, their rushing attack can splat anyone caught in the way.

Luring the Grillers away from the Egg Containers prevents other players delivering Golden Eggs from getting accidentally run over by rampaging Grillers.
