The latest Haze Seas update introduces several powerful upgrades, including Fishman V2, an enhanced version of the Fishman fighting style, and the Sea Beast V2 Armor Set, which provides significant boosts to health, speed, stamina, and Observation Haki. While both upgrades require farming Sea Beasts, the rewards are well worth the effort for players looking to strengthen their characters. This guide explains how to unlock Fishman V2, obtain the Sea Beast V2 armor and helmet, and farm the materials you’ll need.
How to Get Sea Beast Hearts
The most important material for both Fishman V2 and the Sea Beast V2 equipment is the Sea Beast Heart. Sea Beast Hearts are dropped by defeating Sea Beasts, which randomly appear while players are sailing across the ocean.
Sea Beasts spawn naturally as you travel through open waters. Although their appearance is random, sailing with multiple players appears to increase the chances of encountering one. Once a Sea Beast appears, defeat it for a chance to earn several valuable drops. After defeating a Sea Beast, you have a chance to receive:
- Sea Beast Heart (approximately 25% drop rate)
- Blade Fragment
- Sea Beast Hammer V2
- Other Sea Beast materials
Since the Heart only has about a 25% drop chance, expect to defeat several Sea Beasts before collecting everything you need.
How to Get the Sea Beast V2 Armor Set
After obtaining a Sea Beast Heart, head to Douran, the NPC responsible for crafting the upgraded Sea Beast equipment. Speaking with Douran allows you to craft both:
- Sea Beast Armor V2
- Sea Beast Helmet V2
These upgraded pieces provide some of the best defensive bonuses currently available.
Sea Beast Helmet V2 Stats
The Sea Beast Helmet V2 grants several useful bonuses that improve both mobility and combat performance.
Stat bonuses include:
- +150 Stamina
- +1 Observation Haki
- +10 Speed
This makes the helmet particularly useful for players who rely heavily on stamina management and faster movement during PvE or PvP encounters.
Sea Beast Armor V2 Stats
The Sea Beast Armor V2 focuses on survivability.
Equipping the armor provides:
- +3,500 Health
- +10% Movement Speed
The large health increase makes it an excellent option for boss fights, Sea Beast farming, and difficult endgame content.
How to Unlock Fishman V2
Fishman V2 is the upgraded version of the original Fishman fighting style. To unlock it, you’ll first need access to Sea 3 (Third Sea). Once you arrive in Sea 3, locate the Sage of Combat NPC. This NPC is responsible for upgrading fighting styles as additional V2 versions become available. At the moment, Fishman is the first fighting style that can be evolved through this system.
Before upgrading, you’ll need to meet all of the following requirements:
- Fishman Fighting Style
- 300 Fishman Mastery
- 2 Sea Beast Hearts
- 5,000,000 Beli
After collecting every requirement, interact with the Sage of Combat and choose the Fishman upgrade option to obtain Fishman V2.
Fishman V2 Skills
Fishman V2 introduces several upgraded techniques that significantly improve both range and damage compared to the original version.
- Hydro Launch Hydro Launch remains one of the core abilities in the fighting style. The attack can be charged before releasing a stronger strike, making it useful for initiating combat or dealing burst damage.
- Poseidon Trident Poseidon Trident is an extremely long-range attack capable of striking enemies from a considerable distance. Its reach makes it effective for both PvE farming and engaging opponents before they can get close.
- Tidal Descent Tidal Descent launches enemies into the air before following up with a powerful attack. The move provides solid crowd control while helping extend combos against bosses and regular enemies alike.
Overall, Fishman V2 offers noticeable improvements in damage, mobility, and combo potential, making it a worthwhile upgrade for players who enjoy melee-focused combat.
Farming Tips
Since Sea Beast Hearts are required for multiple upgrades, efficient farming is important.
To collect them faster:
- Sail with multiple players to increase Sea Beast spawn opportunities.
- Focus on defeating every Sea Beast you encounter.
- Save extra Sea Beast Hearts for future crafting requirements.
- Farm enough Beli beforehand so you can immediately purchase Fishman V2 after reaching 300 Mastery.
- Continue leveling your Fishman mastery while farming Sea Beasts to complete multiple requirements simultaneously.
Is Fishman V2 Worth Getting?
Fishman V2 is a substantial upgrade over the original fighting style, offering stronger attacks, improved range, and better combo potential. Although reaching 300 Mastery and collecting two Sea Beast Hearts requires some grinding, the investment pays off for players who prefer close-range combat.
Likewise, the Sea Beast V2 Armor Set is one of the best defensive equipment options currently available thanks to its massive health increase, additional stamina, movement speed, and Observation Haki bonus. Since both upgrades rely on Sea Beast farming, it’s efficient to work toward them at the same time.
If you’re progressing through the Third Sea in Haze Seas, unlocking Fishman V2 and crafting the Sea Beast V2 Armor Set should be high on your priority list. Both upgrades require Sea Beast Hearts, making ocean exploration and Sea Beast hunting an essential part of endgame progression. Once you’ve gathered the necessary materials, you’ll gain access to a significantly stronger fighting style and a durable armor set that can help you tackle tougher bosses, raids, and future updates with ease.
