As dedicated tech enthusiasts and explorers of Wraeclast here at Digital Tech Explorer, we understand how perplexing some quests in Path of Exile 2 can be. Finding a use for the mysterious Shark Fin in Act 4, for instance, offers few clues to its true purpose. This challenge is reminiscent of decoding the uses for items like the Golden Idol or Sacrificial Heart in Act 3, where discovery is key. What makes the Shark Fin particularly tricky is that the location of the vital Tribal Medicine quest NPC shifts based on your progress.
Given that the Shark Fin occupies four precious inventory slots, understanding its utility quickly is essential for an efficient journey. You acquire this unique item after triumphing over the optional Great White One boss on Whakapunu island. Here, TechTalesLeo will guide you through the exact steps to utilize the Shark Fin and clear up that inventory space. Before you dive in, remember to explore the Well of Souls on Digital Tech Explorer for insights into the new Rise of the Abyssal league mechanics.
How to use the Shark Fin in Path of Exile 2
To put it simply, your task is to deliver the Shark Fin to Kaimana, a tribal medicine woman. However, her presence is dynamic, appearing in one of two locations depending on how far you’ve advanced in the Act 4 storyline:
- If you defeated the Great White One on Whakapanu island early in Act 4, Kaimana can be found on Ngakanu island. While access to the main part of the island might be restricted, she awaits in a designated area within the starting settlement.
- If you’ve already completed the Ngakanu segment of the Act 4 main story, then Kaimana will instead be located in Kingsmarch. You’ll find her on the bridge of the tribal ship, conveniently situated just opposite where your own vessel docks.
Regardless of her location, Kaimana will always have a quest arrow prominently displayed above her head. Upon interaction, she will immediately recognize the Shark Fin and request it. Once you hand it over, you’ll be presented with a choice of rewards: a spirit gem, a support gem, or a skill gem, thereby successfully concluding the quest.
