How to Find the Octophant in Fisch
The Octophant is a limited-rarity fish that’s only available during the Animal Fisch Takeover event. According to the Bestiary, it’s described as “a massive creature with strong tusks, sifting the ocean floor with ancient grace.“
This rare creature can be found in the Second Sea of Fisch, specifically near Lushgrove Island. But getting to it isn’t simple – the Octophant appears as a mini-boss with a protective bubble that you’ll need to break before you can catch it. Before you can hunt for the Octophant, you need to reach the Second Sea. Here’s how:
- Complete the Cthulhu boss fight at Terrapin Island
- This will unlock access to the Second Sea, which has eight major fishing locations
Once you have access to the Second Sea, you can start hunting for the Octophant:
- Get your best ship from any Shipwright
- Sail to Lushgrove Island, which is located at coordinates XYZ = 1133, 105, -560 (use a GPS if needed)
- Around this island is where the Octophant can spawn
When successful, you’ll see a message at the top of your screen saying “An Elephant Octopus has been spotted near the Lushgrove.” Look around the waters of the island, and you’ll soon spot a huge elephant head surrounded by a bubble.
How to Catch the Octophant
When you find the Octophant, you’ll notice:
- It has a bubble around it with 25/25 health
- The word “Unfishable” appears in red above it
To catch the Octophant, you first need to break its protective bubble:
- Fish inside the bubble area to reduce the health points
- Fishing here also adds entries to your Octophant bestiary
- Team up with friends to break the bubble faster – each fish caught reduces the bubble’s health
- Continue until the bubble bursts (health reaches 0/25)
Octophant Fishing Preferences
Once the bubble is gone, you’ll have a chance to catch the Octophant. Here are its fishing preferences:
- Bait: Golden Worm
- Weather: Clear
- Season: Summer
- Time: No specific time requirement
The Octophant itself gives a 5% progress speed penalty when fishing, but other fish in the area can give penalties up to -90%. This makes having a good rod extremely important.
