Once at the Fishing Contest, you will need to select the Fishing option. This has a success probability of about 60%, which means you might fail. And if you do fail the roll, you can restart your run.

After successfully fishing, you will obtain a Big Fish. After that, finish Act 1 and go to the Green portal. You will ultimately need to make your way to the Waterfall Ledge for The Hungry Dwarf event. An easy way to do this is by going to the North Pier and getting a boat.

When you get to the Waterfall Ledge, select the option to give the dwarf the fish. After you give him the fish, you will have unlocked Grukli.
