After leaving RealSport, I diversified my writing substantially, kept with sport, but also learned much more heavily into pop culture, iGaming, travel, business, tech, and especially gaming. Later, I co-founded Outsider Gaming, was the primary writer and editor-in-chief, and helped to train and bring on the writing talents who also had a passion for gaming. Now, I’m writing everything and anything, from sports to gaming, SEO-optimised content to reviews and previews.

Advanced Sonar

Advanced Sonar is the first evolution that you unlock, being a part of the organ evolutions selection that you can apply to your shark in Maneater.

Unlocked by making your way into the Fawtick Bayou Grotto – the first Grotto in the game – Advanced Sonar improves the sonar ability that you can use (Layout 1: O or B).

Advanced Sonar Official Description

“This evolution improves the range, cooldown, and sensitivity of your sonar ability.”

How to Unlock the Advanced Sonar

Once you’ve completed the prologue of Maneater – playing as the shark which would be revealed as your mother – and are cast into Fawtick Bayou, you then have to swim to a Grotto.

By swimming into the Grotto, you’ll automatically unlock the Advanced Sonar organ evolution.

Advanced Sonar Parameter Boosts

Upgrading the Advanced Sonar evolution to Tier 5 and then equipping it to one of your shark’s three organ slots, you’ll benefit from its passive effects, and the following ratings parameter boosts:

+1 Defence
+5 Speed

The ratings parameters are made of 20 segments, with the segments being worth five points each. By applying an organ evolution that bolsters a parameter by +5, you will fill the equivalent of one segment.
