Banish

"The banishing words will provide you a temporary protection from...most things. If spoken swiftly enough, they can be used defensively. Choose your moment carefully. The more they are spoken, the more they are...understood." -The Collector

When used, the Banish Ability repels certain Enemies and creates a circle of protection around the Fisherman for 15 seconds in exchange for slight Panic. It has a cooldown of 12 in-game hours.

Note: Banish only works on certain enemies!

Certain enemies can be destroyed outright -such as the Phantom Shark or aberrant Waterspout-, while others will temporarily be repelled for the duration of the protection-such as the Night Angler or the Serpent-, and some are completely unaffected-such as the Unseeing Mother and the Leviathan. The Stellar Basin Creature is repelled in the same manner as the Repulsion Machine.

Banisher

Banish 10 threats.

Banishing constant dangers such as the Serpent, Unseeing Mother, and the Stellar Basin Creature does not count towards the Banisher Steam achievement, nor do the passive Jelly Bomb and normal Waterspout. Aberrant Waterspouts, Phantom Sharks, and many other high-panic dangers do count.

Guide: Wait until nightfall at The Marrows, and honk your Foghorn with the lights on to lure in the Night Angler, as it is easy to find and does not require high panic. Lure it in close, banish it, sleep until the next night, and repeat until the achievement is completed.
