Each fish in the Azure Lagoon has different stats that affect how hard they are to catch:
- Resilience: How much the fish fights back. Lower numbers mean the fish is harder to catch.
- Progress Speed: How quickly your progress bar fills when catching. Higher negative percentages make catching more difficult.
The fish in Azure Lagoon range from easy catches like the Murkfin to extremely challenging ones like the Depth Drifter and Verdant Mirage.
Best Rods for Azure Lagoon Bestiary
To successfully complete the Azure Lagoon bestiary, you’ll need rods with strong stats, particularly Resilience. Here are the recommended rods:
- For Common to Rare Fish: Any rod with at least 20 Resilience will work
- For Legendary Fish: You’ll need rods with 30+ Resilience
- For Mythical, Exotic, and Secret Fish: Use rods with 50+ Resilience
Some of the best rods for Azure Lagoon include:
- Ethereal Prism Rod – Great all-around stats that work well in the Second Sea
- Abyssal Spectre Rod – Strong Resilience stat that helps with the challenging fish
- Rod of the Forgotten Fang – Has a useful passive ability that can help with difficult catches
Note that many First Sea rods have been nerfed in the Second Sea, so these recommended rods maintain good stats despite the nerfs.
Best Enchants for Azure Lagoon Bestiary
To improve your chances of catching the more challenging fish in Azure Lagoon, consider these enchants:
- Quality Enchant – Boosts all rod stats, making it easier to catch a variety of fish
- Mystical Enchant – Specifically increases Resilience, which is crucial for the harder fish
Bait Strategies for Azure Bestiary
While using the preferred bait for each fish is always recommended, here are some alternative baits that work well in Azure Lagoon:
- Coral and Deep Corals – Increase Resilience and Lure Speed
- Seaweed – Good all-around bait that works for many fish
- Second Sea Baits – Consider trying the new baits introduced in the Second Sea for stat boosts
For the rarest fish, always use their specific preferred baits:
- Mist Worms for Legendary and Mythical fish
- Golden Worm for the Exotic Depth Drifter
- Luminous Larva for the Secret Verdant Mirage
The three most challenging fish in Azure Lagoon are the Bloomtail, Depth Drifter, and Verdant Mirage. Each requires specific conditions and equipment to catch successfully.
- Bloomtail: The Bloomtail is a dark blue colored fish with light blue fins. To catch this fish, you need to find it during rainy nights in Spring. Make sure your rod has at least 50 Resilience, and consider applying the Mystical enchant to give yourself the best chance. Always use Mist Worms as bait since the Bloomtail won’t be attracted to anything else. Be prepared for a long struggle due to its -80% progress speed, which means your progress bar will fill extremely slowly. Don’t give up if it takes several minutes to reel in, as the Bloomtail’s high value makes it worth the wait.
- Depth Drifter: The Depth Drifter is a beautiful cyan blue fish with large light blue fins that can be found in the deepest parts of Azure Lagoon. This exotic fish appears during windy weather in Summer and, interestingly, can be caught at any time of day. You’ll need your rod with the highest possible Resilience stat, as this fish has an incredible –92% progress speed penalty.
- Verdant Mirage: The Verdant Mirage is the ultimate challenge in Azure Lagoon. This secret fish appears as a dark cyan beauty with bright light blue accents that seem to shimmer like an illusion in the water. To have any chance of catching it, look for foggy days during Autumn when the conditions are just right. Use your absolute best rod with maximum Resilience stats, and don’t even think about trying without Luminous Larva bait. With its punishing -88% progress speed, the Verdant Mirage will test your determination like no other fish.
Take your time, upgrade your gear, and work through the fish from easiest to hardest. With patience and the right equipment, you’ll complete the Azure Lagoon bestiary in no time.
