Boiling Bay is one of the three late-game areas that you'll have to visit in Bugsnax. It perfectly encapsulates the vibes of a beach on a hot summer's day, but you're not here for rest and relaxation - you're here to catch some Bugsnax!

RELATED: The Yummiest-Looking Bugsnax

This is when the game starts to get a little more complex, and you'll have to deal with both frosty and fiery Bugsnax here. Get used to leading them into lava and water respectively, and be patient. Here's how to get them all.

How To Catch

Bugsnax Green Crapple

Green Crapple

There are a few Green Crapples that patrol the coastline, usually staying underwater.

Lure the Green Crapple into your Snak Trap with either of the sauces it likes. You can get chocolate sauce without leaving the area.

Bugsnax Grapeskeeto

Grapeskeeto

There will be a Grapeskeeto flying around the chocolate sauce plant during nighttime.

An easy way to nab this snak is to get some Cocomites out in the open (see below for how to do this) and then cover it with chocolate sauce. Get the Grapeskeeto to notice a chocolatey Cocomite and it'll fly right into it, stunning them both.

Bugsnax Golden Kweeble

Golden Kweeble

You can find Golden Kweebles near the bushes in the area.

As with the Kweebles from the previous area, you can lure a Golden Kweeble into your Snak Trap with chocolate.

Bugsnax Greater Cocomite

Greater Cocomite

There are two coconuts hanging from trees in the area. You can either use the Snakgrappler on the tree or the shell itself. Throw it into the lava and it'll break into a Greater and Lesser Cocomite.

You can either use the Grapeskeeto catching method detailed above to get the Cocomites, or trip them with the Trip Shot.

Bugsnax Lesser Cocomite

Lesser Cocomite

Bugsnax La Sodieux

La Sodieux

There are two cans that patrol the sea.

Lure them onto the beach using sauce. You can lure them right into your Snak Trap. They clean sauce quickly and have quite the range, though, so keep the trail going!

Bugsnax Noodler

Noodler

There are two Noodlers slowly swimming in the lava pool in the cave.

You need to put out the Noodlers' flames before you can catch them. An easy way to do this is to cover your Buggy Ball in hot sauce - the Noodler will follow it. Lead the Noodler to the coast, where a La Sodieux should put it out and make it ready to catch.

Bugsnax Paletoss

Paletoss

Breaking apart a Paletoss Grande will create two Paletoss.

To defrost a Paletoos, simply get it to follow you through lava.

Bugsnax Paletoss Grande

Paletoss Grande

There are a few Paletoss Grandes on the main beach area.

Catching a Paletoss Grande before it splits into Paletoss is an involved process. First, you'll need to set up your Trip Shot close to the ground - you'll be luring the Paletoss Grande into it under a time limit. Now, lure the Paletoss Grande into the lava to trigger its countdown to break apart. Trigger its aggression again by getting close, and then lead it through the Trip Shot. Remember, if you walk through your Trip Shot wire yourself, you'll break it.

Bugsnax Red Banopper

Red Banopper

You'll hear a Red Banopper before you see it. You can see them leaping between shaking trees.

You'll have to knock a Red Banopper out of the sky using the Trip Shot to pick it up.

Bugsnax Flamin Cheepoof

Flamin' Cheepoof

There are two Flamin' Cheepoofs flying around the cave with the lava pool and Noodlers.

There are two ways to put out a Flamin' Cheepoof's flames. First, you can get a frosty Paletoss to the lava cave and use the Lunchpad to launch it at the Cheepoof - but this can be hard to get right and the Paletoss will be useless after falling in the lava. Alternatively, lure a La Sodieux all the way to the cave - it takes a lot of sauce and persistence, but it's more reliable once it's inside the cave and it'll put the Noodlers out to boot. Alternatively, place the Lunchpad underneath the La Sodieux's path and launch it towards the cave - it should end up on a different path that takes it near the Cheepoofs.

Bugsnax Sherbie

Sherbie

There is a lone Sherbie at the end of the peninsula.

You must first get the Sherbie out of the ground by making it angry at you and luring it to a stone platform. After that, try to get it to follow you into some lava. Sherbies end up knocking themselves out on their own quite regularly, too.

Bugsnax Fruity Snakpod

Fruity Snakpod

There are a few Fruity Snakpods hidden around the area, and they only respawn after getting all of them.

  • Inside the cave with the lava, on the left-hand side
  • On the roof of the shipwrecked hull on the small island with a treasure chest on it
  • Between two trees to the left of the island with the chest, hidden in some grass
  • Inside the barrel to the right of the area's entrance
  • On the mast of the shipwreck that Floofty called home

You'll need the Snakgrappler to get some of these Snakpods.

Bugsnax Minimaki

Minimaki

Minimaki are gathered as part of the Megamaki fight. They can also be found naturally in Boiling Bay once the Megamaki quest has been completed.

Knock them over with the Trip Shot when trying to get them when not part of the Megamaki encounter.

Bugsnax-Megamaki-1

Megamaki

You fight a Megamaki and catch it as part of Wiggle's questline.

Check out our guide to the Megamaki encounter here.
