Pro Catching Strategy
Found in The Ocean (also spawns at Snowcap Island, Atlantis, and Ancient Isle where deep water connects). Requires Night + Foggy weather. No preferred bait - use whatever increases your luck. The -70% progress penalty combined with erratic movement makes this challenging.
The erratic movement is the main challenge - the squid jumps unpredictably across the fishing bar. Use high-resilience rods to keep the catch zone stable. Not as valuable as other Mythical fish (~5-9K C$ per catch) but the 3,000 XP is decent.
Real colossal squid are the largest invertebrates on Earth, reaching up to 14 meters. In Fisch, this species gained notoriety for its frustrating erratic movement that would break catch streaks when using low-resilience rods.
Hunting Strategy
Step 1 - Find Foggy Weather: Check The Ocean, Snowcap Island, or Ancient Isle for Foggy conditions. Use Weather Totem if needed. Step 2 - Wait for Night: The Colossal Squid primarily spawns at Night (daytime catches are possible but very rare). Step 3 - Choose Your Spot: The Ocean is the primary location, but any deep water area that connects to The Ocean works. Step 4 - Use High-Luck Setup: No preferred bait, so focus purely on luck bonuses. Step 5 - Handle Erratic Movement: The squid moves unpredictably - stay calm and follow the visual/audio cues.
Spawn Mechanics
The Colossal Squid spawns in The Ocean during Night + Foggy weather. It can also appear at connected deep-water locations like Snowcap Island, Atlantis, and Ancient Isle. No seasonal restrictions. The catch has a -70% progress speed penalty and moves erratically across the fishing bar, making timing crucial.
Recommended Setup
High-resilience rods recommended to handle the erratic movement: Aurora Rod, Heaven's Rod, or any rod with good stability.
Resilient (+35% resilience) or Mystical (+45%) to keep the catch zone steady during erratic movement.
No preferred bait - use luck-boosting baits like Truffle Worm or whatever maximizes your total luck stat.
Weather Totem to force Foggy conditions if not naturally occurring. Sundial Totem to cycle to Night.
Value Analysis
At 5.4 C$/kg with a weight range of 726-2,467 kg, the Colossal Squid yields approximately 3,900-13,300 C$ per catch (average ~8,600 C$). The 3,000 XP reward is solid. While not the most valuable Mythical fish, it's a consistent catch once you master the erratic movement pattern.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- ✗Fishing during the day - Night is required for consistent spawns
- ✗Ignoring weather - must be Foggy
- ✗Using low-resilience rods - the erratic movement will break your progress
- ✗Expecting high value - it's worth less than other Mythical fish
- ✗Panicking during erratic movement - stay calm and follow the visual cues
