Use of the harpoon is like all ranged weapons in the game. As you do with the blowpipe or pistol, you hold down L1 to activate weapon, aim using right joystick,fire using R1. Sail to a harpooning spot, whale, shark,etal and hold down the "O" button to stop and enter the harpooning boat. Once in the boat follow the firing instuctions above. The first strike will hook your prey and begin towing the harpooning boat. Subsequent strikes will kill it. Good Fishing Lads! RRRRRRRRRRRR HA HA RRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
Aim under the prey you're chasing as it pulls the harpooning boat for higher damage and chance of hitting the target.
