How to Catch Megalodon in Fisch – Complete Guide

Dynamite, spikes, and whirlpools surround Ancient Isles, and those are all capable of sending you down to the Davy Jones’ locker! They’ll also be your first obstacle to acquiring Fisch’s deadliest catch, the Megalodon. To help you get it in the shortest amount of time, here is our complete guide on how to catch Megalodon in Fisch.

Megalodon Event Spawn Location and Time in Fisch

The Megalodon Event in Fisch starts in the open ocean behind the Ancient Isle (~7200, 130, 200), right when the day/night switch happens. The chances of it occurring are relatively high compared to those of other events, and it’s currently much more common than regular Shark Hunts.

Also, the dynamite, spikes, and whirlpools that usually spawn around the Ancient Isle can’t spawn this far out in the ocean. However, they can still get you while you make your way from the Ancient Isles, so use the fastest boat you have to dodge them.

How to Start the Megalodon Event in Fisch by Yourself

The most reliable and foolproof way of starting the Megalodon Event yourself in Fisch is to spam Sundial Totems. That way, you can force a day/night switch every ~20 seconds, which should allow you to get a Megalodon Event in about 10 minutes on average.

If you don’t want to spend money on totems, then you can try server hopping until you find a server where whales are spamming the Sundials themselves. You can also invite your friends and share the expense of totem-spamming with them.

Best Rods and Bait to Catch a Megalodon in Fisch

The Megalodon is the largest fish in the game right now, with its average weight being around 50,000 kg. So, most normal rods are out of the question (Rod of Depths’s passive can’t catch it, either). Here is the list of all rods you can use to catch a Megalodon in Fisch, including the best enchants and bait to use with them:

Rod	Stats	Best Enchants	Best Baits
The Lost Rod	Lure: 15% Luck: 25% Control: 0.08 Resilience: 5% Max Kg: 50,000 Price: 50,000 + Crafting	Resilient Controlled Steady	Shark Head Seaweed Bagel Coral

The easiest to get and use from the above-mentioned rods are the Steady Rod and the King’s Rod. Also, they are very useful for catching other big fish, so getting them should be a priority. Enchanting the King’s Rod with Hasty is also a must.

How to Catch the Ancient Megalodon and Phantom Megalodon

The Ancient Megalodon and the Phantom Megalodon are just variations of the regular Megalodon, and the chances for the Meg you catch to be one of those are ~1/3 and ~1/10, respectively.

Also, the Phantom Megalodon can only be caught during real-life weekends, and you can increase the chance of getting him by using an Eclipse Totem.

Now, if you follow our guide to the letter, you should be able to catch your first Megalodon in Fisch with ease. After you catch him, you’ll also get an exclusive cutscene and, of course, the bragging rights of catching a Meg.
