How do you unlock Bean?
The one-hour limit is official; timer edge cases and a fully verified speed route are not.
For Dazed Games’ How to Fish, released on Steam on 20 August 2026 (app 4001890) — not real-world fishing.
Quick Answer
Finish the game within one hour. That is the complete official condition for Bean. Because Steam does not explain whether pauses, reloads or co-op affect the timer, use a route you already know and do not rely on undocumented timer stops.
Steps
- Learn the required quest and boss order before starting the timed attempt.
- Use a clean completion attempt and prioritize only the actions needed to finish.
- Reach the ending before one hour, without depending on unverified pause or reload behavior.
Requirements / Limits
- The run must finish within one hour.
- No official record checked here explains the timer's pause, reload or co-op rules.
- This page deliberately does not publish an unverified speedrun route.
Common Mistakes
- Starting the timer without knowing the required route.
- Assuming menus or pauses stop the timer.
- Treating a partial boss route as proof of a sub-one-hour completion method.
