You begin at the Lighthouse and unlock each new island by completing an NPC quest, defeating the main boss and returning its important drop. Once you receive the coordinates, the next island will appear as a coloured marker on your Radar.
If you need help defeating any of the island bosses, check out our full guide to beating every boss in How to Fish.
