Rafting guide: How to kill Varuna Point Rhino Shark shark boss

One of the following raft the area is Varuna Point, a sunken skyscraper with a crane at the top. As you venture deep into the underwater parts of the building, you’ll eventually encounter a giant shark boss that you’ll have to defeat to move on. Ours raft Shark boss guide explains how to easily take down Rhino Shark.

Before you start fighting sharks, we highly recommend having both Oxygen and flippers. Both of these can be created from various debris found in the ocean and Vine Goo. While down there, take advantage of the bubbles from the vents to replenish your oxygen.

[Ed. note: We’ve seen some reports about players somehow accidentally killing the shark through other means before it breaks the pillars. Make sure not to attack it or make attempts to kill it without using the method below, as the Rhino Shark has to open paths for you to continue. If you kill it before it opens all of the paths, you will be unable to proceed in the game.]

When you get to the shark, you’ll need stand between it and one of the four pillars. The shark will lunge at you, so once it has its head down, you should move out of the way, forcing the shark to hit the post.

After touching the turret, it will open, allowing you to place one of the explosive barrel in a metal column frame. The bait shark lunges at the pillar again to blow up the pillar and create a hole in the ceiling.

Go through the opening to see two other pillars and the shark, moving up from below. These poles will have metal bases, so you’ll need to specifically ask the shark to hit the unprotected overhead. Repeat the process with the turrets and explosive barrels. When another hole in the ceiling opens, go up to find another pillar.

After repeating the process again, the shark dies, allowing you to harvest tons of Raw Shark Meat and a special trophy, which you can see below.

You can now go up to the last hole in the ceiling to get the Crane Key and complete the Varuna Point.
