Quick answer: defeat Chief Fish (Ice Caves (rematch)) without taking any damage to unlock Chief of Nothing and receive the Fish Hat. A hit does not fail the fight — it only fails the reward — so the moment you are clipped: pause, Retry Boss, restart the attempt.
Chief Fish is the first character most players meet — he runs the combat tutorial at the start of the game — and he returns as a rematch boss in the Ice Caves. That rematch is where his rewards live.
Rewards
| Reward | Condition |
|---|---|
| Chief of Nothing (achievement) | Win without taking damage |
| Fish Hat | Same clean win — drops from the boss |
The no-damage workflow
- Save manually before engaging (Save Anytime).
- Fight once casually to read the attack patterns — a death here costs nothing.
- On the clean attempt, pause → Retry Boss the instant you take a hit. Never finish a spoiled run.
Community consensus: the easiest of the five no-damage fights — the right place to learn the retry workflow.
