With these two, your dodge attack, and your Y-button ability, will do extreme damage to the stronger boats that start spawning from Infamy Rank 6 and onward. Once you have reached the higher Infamy ranks, upgrading the Bone set of evolutions is important to defeating the bigger hunter boats, with the Bone Body and Bone Fin evolutions being particularly important. Hearty, gained by defeating Bobbie Bojangles at Infamy Rank 2, and Mineral Digestion at Infamy Rank 3 are two vital evolutions that should be secured early and upgraded to their maximum level. In fact, Bone Body - one of the most useful evolutions for fighting higher-leveled hunters - doesn’t unlock until the 5th story chapter, so you’ll want to wait until you unlock this before taking on the higher ranks. Unlike your threat meter, your Infamy rank doesn’t decrease, so don’t feel the need to try and hit Infamy 10 in one go. This lets you deal with multiple threats in quick succession, as the more hunters you knock into the water, the less there will be trying to shoot you. You can also use them as projectiles to knock more hunters into the water hold enemies in your mouth by holding "RT" down, then press "LB" to Tailwhip them at another target. If you’re low on health, keep pressing "RT" to eat them and regain some health. You want to Knife through the water by holding "LT" while you’re swimming along the surface, then leap out of the water with "B" and hit "RT" to lunge through the air at a hunter and grab them from their boat. Any time they start targeting you, hit "RB" to dodge away, and they won't be able to touch you. This will make it harder for them to hit you repeatedly, and gives you a better angle of approach if they don't see you coming. The best tactic for turning the hunters into your next meal starts with swimming in large circles, ducking in and out of range of the hunter’s boats. Taking down the first few waves of hunters shouldn't really be a problem, but their potency and numbers quickly start to stack up. You just need to kill enough humans to raise your threat level, which eventually causes hunters to begin searching for you. These can be innocent bystanders on land, unsuspecting swimmers, or leisurely boaters, it doesn't really matter. Like most watery horror films, it starts with some good old-fashioned human killing. But how do we raise our Infamy in Maneater?
