Silent Strolling

There are some vague or non-exact figures and information on this page. Some spading is required. Is there a limit on how many times you can get it in a day? 4 perhaps?

Silent Strolling

As you're plumbing the depths, you notice something out of the corner of your trained Turtle Tamer's eye -- an orangutan!

Just kidding -- it's a turtle. A turtle floating motionless in the eerie stillness of the deep. How does it do that?

Tame it

• Without a Grinning Turtle and the fishy effect:

You swim toward the turtle, but clumsily, disturbing the water and scaring him off in a big blast of bubbles.

• With a Grinning Turtle and fishy but without a turtling rod:

You send <Name> out in front of you to distract the turtle while you approach it from behind.

You creep up (or whatever you call the swimming version of creeping) and try to grab it, but it freaks out when you get a couple of feet from it, and disappears out of sight in a burst of bubbles.

• With a Grinning Turtle, a turtling rod equipped, and fishy:

You send <Name> out in front of you to distract the turtle while you approach it from behind.

You swim up behind it and deftly subdue it with your turtling rod. Its bizarre buoyancy makes it hard to handle, but you manage.

You acquire an item: ballast turtle

or

You send <Name> out in front of you to distract the turtle while you approach it from behind.

You swim up behind it and deftly subdue it with your turtling rod. Its bizarre buoyancy makes it hard to handle, and you demonstrate this by dropping it almost immediately. Shucks.
