The Animal Hunt event in Fisch runs from April 5th to April 19th, 2025, giving you just two weeks to catch some really unique fish. The main attraction of this event is the Animal Pools that spawn in both the First and Second Sea. These special spots let you catch fish with animal heads and fish bodies – a weird but cool combo! Let me show you how to find these pools, increase your chances of spawning them, and get the most out of this limited-time event.
What Are Animal Pools in Fisch?
Animal Pools are special fishing spots that appear during the Animal Hunt event. Think of them as temporary fishing zones where you can catch exclusive fish that aren’t available anywhere else in the game.
When an Animal Pool spawns, you’ll notice:
- A message in chat saying “An Animal Pool has spawned near the area”
- A bright orange beam of light shoots up into the sky, marking the pool’s location
- Other players are rushing toward that area (if you’re on a public server)
These pools stay active for only 5 minutes before disappearing, so you need to be quick. They spawn every 30 minutes based on your server’s uptime, but only when there are no other Animal Pools currently active.
How to Find Natural Animal Pool Spawns in Fisch?
Finding Animal Pools that spawn normally requires some strategy. Animal Pools work on a timer system that triggers every 30 minutes in your server, but only when no other Animal Pools are currently active. Each pool remains available for just 5 minutes before disappearing, so you need to act quickly when one appears. The spawn locations are completely random throughout both seas, which can make them challenging to locate without a plan.
While Animal Pools can appear anywhere in either sea, experienced players have noticed they tend to appear more frequently near certain landmarks. In the First Sea, you’ll want to check around Roslit Bay (located west of Moosewood Island) and Ancient Isle, as these areas see frequent Animal Pool spawns. It’s also smart to keep your boat ready in open waters so you can quickly travel to any nearby spawn when the notification appears in the chat.
In the Second Sea, watch out for a special type called Octophant Hunts that only spawn around Lushgrove during rainy weather. These are much rarer than regular Animal Pools but offer the chance to catch the valuable Octophant fish, which sells for nearly 30,000 C$. The Octophant itself is protected by a bubble that requires players to catch 25 fish from the pool before it becomes catchable, making it a true challenge for dedicated fishers.
How to Spawn Animal Pools in Fisch?
There are several effective ways to increase your chances of finding Animal Pools instead of waiting for natural spawns. The Sundial Totem method is your best option for triggering pool spawns. Get several Sundial Totems, head to an open water area with good visibility, and use a totem to change the in-game day.
If you’re specifically hunting the rare Octophant in the Second Sea, try the weather manipulation strategy. Go to Lushgrove area and use a Tempest Totem to trigger rain, then switch to another weather type with a Windset or Smokescreen Totem, before switching back to rain again with another Tempest Totem.
This Animal Hunt event offers some of the most unique fish designs in the game with their animal-headed appearances. The limited-time nature makes them valuable not just for their selling price but as rare collectibles. So grab your best rod, stock up on the right baits, and start hunting those Animal Pools before the event ends!
