How to race seahorses in Dave the Diver
You can start Seahorse racing during Chapter 3 of the story. You can enter the Game Parlor in the Sea People Village to start the required quest. Specifically, talk to Linchen, and she’ll ask that you catch four runaway seahorses.
Once that’s complete, you’ll be able to start racing seahorses. Competing in seahorse races earns you Bei, a new currency usable in the Sea People Village. In the future, you can talk to Yumi by the front door to start racing. There are multiple options to choose from. You can either Race, Manage, or Register your seahorses.
Now that you have a Bug Net, you can catch any seahorse you find during your dives. If you don’t send them to the kitchen, you can select Register with Yami to use them during a race. Selecting ‘Manage’ allows you to view your array of seahorses and their stats. Keep catching seahorses to find better and faster ones, since the first one they give you isn’t very good.
Once you actually start a race, you can choose from different race ranks. You should try to knock out the easiest ones before you tackle anything tough. Choose which seahorse to use, and the race should begin. During a race, you can either Cheer, Jump, or Slide. Your seahorse will swim faster if you Cheer. Just keep in mind to keep your speed in the green section of the gauge.
In tougher races, you’ll encounter obstacles in the seahorses’ way. Jump or Slide, depending on which type of obstacle is in your way. You can still Cheer while this is happening to keep their speed up. If you win the race, you’ll earn a lot of Bei. Not only are there Solo Races, but you can also do Team Races with four seahorses for even more Bei. Now that you’ve read this guide to seahorse racing in Dave the Diver, there are quite a few races to try out!
