Best Fish by Location
Esoteric Depths (Endgame)
| Fish | Rarity | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Abyss Seahorse | Mythic | 800K |
| Brown Megalodon | Mythic | 750K |
| Armored Shark | Legendary | 180K |
| Magic Tang | Legendary | 150K |
| Enchanted Angelfish | Legendary | 120K |
Esoteric Depths has the highest-value fish in the game. The 400 coin entry fee is nothing compared to the returns.
Lost Isle (Late Game)
| Fish | Rarity | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Phantom Whale | Secret | 1.2M |
| Ghost Shark | Secret | 500K |
| Deep Sea Angler | Mythic | 600K |
| Abyssal Eel | Legendary | 140K |
Lost Isle requires a boat and diving gear for the best spots. The underwater areas have the highest spawn rates for rare fish.
Kohana Volcano (Mid Game)
| Fish | Rarity | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Mythic Blueflame Ray | Mythic | 400K |
| Legendary Lavafin Tuna | Legendary | 100K |
| Magma Carp | Epic | 30K |
| Volcanic Bass | Rare | 5K |
Kohana is the best mid-game farming spot. The free Lava Rod from the NPC makes it accessible early.
Stingray Shores (Early Game)
| Fish | Rarity | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Stingray | Rare | 3K |
| Tropical Snapper | Uncommon | 500 |
| Shore Crab | Common | 50 |
Leave Stingray Shores as soon as possible. The fish values are terrible compared to Kohana.
Secret Fish Rankings
| Rank | Fish | Location | Odds | Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Leviathan | Leviathan Den | 1 in 5M | 2M+ |
| 2 | Cursed Kraken | Crystal Depths | 1 in 3.5M | 1.8M |
| 3 | Abyssal Serpent | Esoteric Depths | 1 in 2M | 1.5M |
| 4 | Phantom Whale | Lost Isle Deep | 1 in 1.5M | 1.2M |
| 5 | Sacred Guardian Squid | Sacred Temple | 1 in 1M | 1M |
| 6 | Void Fish | Ancient Jungle | 1 in 750K | 800K |
| 7 | Ghost Shark | Lost Isle | 1 in 500K | 500K |
Secret fish require Ghostfinn Rod or better. Don't waste time hunting them with weaker rods.
Mythic Fish Rankings
| Rank | Fish | Location | Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Abyss Seahorse | Esoteric Depths | 800K |
| 2 | Brown Megalodon | Esoteric Depths | 750K |
| 3 | Deep Sea Angler | Lost Isle | 600K |
| 4 | Goliath Grouper | Sacred Temple | 500K |
| 5 | Mythic Blueflame Ray | Kohana Volcano | 400K |
Mythic fish are your main money source in late game. Farm Esoteric Depths with Aether Bait for consistent mythic catches.
Fish Index Completion
Completing each island's fish index unlocks rewards. The hardest fish to catch:
Fisherman Island Easy. All common fish, complete in 30 minutes.
Stingray Shores Easy. One rare fish (Stingray) takes some luck.
Kohana Volcano Medium. Two mythics require good gear.
Lost Isle Hard. Secret fish (Ghost Shark, Phantom Whale) take weeks.
Esoteric Depths Hard. Mythics spawn rarely even with max luck.
Ancient Jungle Very Hard. Void Fish is 1 in 750K odds.
Crystal Depths Extreme. Cursed Kraken is 1 in 3.5M odds.
Best Fish for Each Goal
Making money fast Mythic fish at Esoteric Depths. Abyss Seahorse and Brown Megalodon sell for 750K+.
Leveling up Any fish at Kohana Volcano with Dark Matter Bait (+5% XP).
Index completion Focus on one island at a time. Use the in-game index to track missing fish.
Achievement hunting Secret fish. Start with Ghost Shark (easiest) and work up to Leviathan.
Mutated Fish Values
Mutations multiply fish value by 1.5x to 5x:
| Base Fish | Normal Value | Crystallized Value |
|---|---|---|
| Mythic | 500K | 2.5M |
| Legendary | 100K | 500K |
| Epic | 25K | 125K |
A Crystallized Mythic is worth more than most Secret fish. Mutation farming is often more profitable than secret hunting.
Common Fish Mistakes
Selling fish too fast Check for mutations and shiny variants before selling. They're worth significantly more.
Ignoring the index The index shows exactly where each fish spawns. Use it to target specific catches.
Farming low-value areas Stingray Shores fish are worthless. Move to Kohana as soon as possible.
Chasing secrets too early Secret fish require endgame gear. Focus on mythics until you have Ghostfinn Rod.
