All totems and what they do: Leviathan, Golden Catch, Fish Frenzy and more

Quick answer

The Trader sells totems and Jeb upgrades them. Leviathan's Totem multiplies bait score and fish value by 1.10 to 1.25 and unlocks the day-based weight boosts; Golden Catch raises value only, up to 1.35×; Fish Frenzy makes bites 75% faster at max level; Slowing Metabolism slows daily quota growth; and since 1.0 Bountiful Bait gives traps a chance of two bait. Totem prices scale with lobby size.

Before you start

  • Effects come from GONE Studios' posts, checked October 21, 2026; most are from Early Access and weren't restated for 1.0. Details found only on the community Fandom wiki are marked as reported. Kingy hasn't bought a totem in play yet, so prices aren't recorded.

Where to buy and upgrade totems

The 1.0.1 Journal lists totems in the Trader's stock and totem upgrades in Jeb's. Upgrades arrived in December 2025, sold by the late-game trader from an elevated cabin on each map.

Totem prices scale with the number of players, and 1.0 reworked item and upgrade pricing to roughly value × (players ÷ 2). The community wiki says a totem helps everyone in the game for that save; GONE Studios hasn't said so directly.

Leviathan's Totem and max-weight fish

In September 2026 GONE Studios set Leviathan's Totem to 1.10× at level 1, 1.15×, 1.20× and 1.25× at level 4. Three days later it moved those bonuses off weight: they now raise bait score and fish value. Weight got a separate system that needs this totem.

Each boost pushes a fish 2.5% closer to its natural maximum weight but never past it. Each day range's boost stays unlocked as the run goes on, so from day 61 every fish gets one. Only Jeremy Wade difficulty raises the maximum itself. These rules weren't restated for 1.0.

Slowing Metabolism and the quota

Since March 2026 this totem shrinks how much the quota grows every day after you buy it, instead of cutting one day's quota. GONE Studios gave the daily growth as the day number (capped at 35) × a random factor × the totem's modifier; the random factor is larger on maps like the Jungle and on harder difficulties.

Our reading: because it works on every following day, it does the most when bought early. 1.0 also made quota grow more gently in bigger groups, without publishing the new formula.

Bountiful Bait in 1.0

Reworked for 1.0: each bait trap gets a percentage chance to give two bait instead of one. The chance isn't published. It only pays off if you run the Minnow, Crab or Rabbit/Raccoon trap, ideally feeding a Fish Trap. The community wiki's older faster-respawn description predates this rework.

Which totem first (our reading)

This isn't a tested ranking; it follows the effects GONE Studios describes. In co-op, agree before buying, since prices rise with lobby size.
