Ok this quest is easy if you follow my instructions:
1. Talk to the NPC to tell him you are ready.
2. Use button 1 to fish. a) If you catch a fish, use button 4. You take 20% every time you catch a fish so you need to catch fish 5 times. b) If you disturb a monster, dismount and kill it by yourself. Then talk to the NPC again.
3. After you have caught 5 fish, click on the turtle next to you to cuddle it.
The quest is completed.

This has got to be one of the worst designed world quests ...
Almost every single cast, brings up a sea monster ... that takes forever to "kill" (via your turtle pet that the quest gives you) and you pretty much "kill the npc" with every sea monster.
15 casts now, and only 2 "food".Oh ... and don't bother feeding yourself, it doesn't do anything
When you pull a monster, dismount and kill it with your character, not Tapionnuq. Much faster this way.
