Hearty
The evolution Hearty is a health-boosting organ which you can apply to one of three slots on your shark in Maneater.
Unlocked by defeating the Infamy Level 2 boss, Bobbie Bojangles, Hearty is one of the most commonly upgraded and equipped organ evolutions.
Hearty Official Description
“This evolution increases your Health and resistance to being knocked off a boat by the melee attacks of crew members.”
How to Unlock the Hearty organ
To unlock Hearty, you’ll need to increase your infamy level to Infamy Level 2. Eat humans and the waves of hunters that come searching for you to increase your infamy.
When you have filled the blue infamy bar from Level 1 to Level 2, you’ll trigger an encounter with the boss, Bobbie Bojangles.

Defeat Bobbie Bojangles to unlock Hearty and reap the rewards of 700 Protein, 700 Fat, and 700 Mineral.

If you upgrade the Hearty evolution to Tier 5 and then equip it to one of your shark’s three organ slots, you’ll benefit from its passive effects, and the following ratings parameter boosts:
- +15 Health

Ratings parameters consist of 20 segments. Each segment is made up of five points each. By applying an organ evolution that gives +5 to a rating will fill the equivalent of one segment.
