How to Access the Octophant Pool
Before you can start fishing in the Octophant Pool, you need to:
- Reach at least level 250 to access the Second Sea.
- Complete the Cthulhu boss fight at Terrapin Island in the First Sea
- Talk to the Sea Traveler NPC to be transported to the Second Sea
- Once in the Second Sea hub of Waveborne, spawn a boat and travel to Lushgrove Island located at coordinates: X: 1133, Y: 105, Z: -560
Octophant Hunts are special events that only appear around Lushgrove Island. Unlike regular Animal Pools that can spawn anywhere, Octophant Hunts have a specific location.
