Legendary and mythic fish: where they are and how to hook them

Quick answer

Each map has its own: the Lochness Monster and the new Rhizo on the Lake, the Dakosaur on the Swamp, the Giant Squid on the Jungle, the Dunkleosteus and Megalodon on the Canyons, and the Orca and Colossal Squid on the Arctic. Use bait scoring at least 175 in deep water, then stack heart bait, Siren's Conch, instruments and Hardcore. Each one now gives a hat and an achievement to the whole lobby.

Before you start

  • Locations and odds come from GONE Studios' posts; we haven't hooked a legendary yet. The Swamp legendary and the Jungle's Sperm Whale names come from the community leaderboard site.

Rare fish by map

The stingray has its own achievement too; it comes from TNT fishing on any map.

How to raise your odds

  1. Use bait with a score of 175 or more; GONE Studios lowered the minimum from 200 in October.
  2. Fish deep water: GONE Studios added spots deeper than 2,500 for legendary fishing. Cave fishing adds 10% to bait score.
  3. Use heart bait from the butcher table: it doubles your odds once you meet the conditions.
  4. Add Siren's Conch, play instruments together, and fish inside the legendary circle (+15%). Hardcore adds another 15%.

The bite and losing one

Legendary and mythic bites open with a decoy strike before the real one, so don't panic on the first tug. If one gets away, the developer says there's no limit on hooking another; keep your bait score high.

Hats and achievements

In 1.0 every legendary and mythic gives a hat and an achievement. Since the launch-day hotfix, the whole lobby gets the achievement when anyone lands one. Each of the eight new rare-fish achievements had a 0.1% unlock rate on release day.
