Before you can start completing the bestiary, you need to access the Luminescent Cavern area. Here’s how to get there:
The Luminescent Cavern is a unique biome with bioluminescent flora and fauna, creating an ethereal underwater environment. The area is divided into three main zones: Shallow Glow, Crystal Depths, and Abyssal Darkness, each housing different fish species.
The Luminescent Cavern Bestiary contains 12 different fish species. Here’s a complete breakdown of each fish, their rarity, preferred bait, and best catching locations:
| Fish Name | Rarity | Preferred Bait | Best Location |
|---|---|---|---|
| Glow Minnow | Common | Basic Worm | Shallow Glow entrance |
| Crystal Guppy | Common | Glow Worm | Crystal Depths |
| Neon Tetra | Uncommon | Shrimp | Shallow Glow streams |
| Biolume Bass | Uncommon | Squid | Crystal Depths pools |
| Luminous Loach | Rare | Glow Worm | Deep Crystal passages |
| Phantom Pike | Rare | Special Lure | Abyssal Darkness |
| Spectral Sturgeon | Epic | Ghost Bait | Abyssal Darkness |
| Abyssal Angler | Epic | Special Lure | Deepest parts of cavern |
| Crystal Carp | Legendary | Crystal Bait | Crystal Depths center |
| Glowfin Shark | Legendary | Special Lure | All zones (rare spawn) |
| Ethereal Eel | Mythical | Ghost Bait | Abyssal Darkness |
| Crystalfin Angelfish | Mythical | Crystal Bait | Crystal Depths (rare spawn) |

For the common fish like Glow Minnow and Crystal Guppy, focus on the Shallow Glow and Crystal Depths areas. These fish spawn frequently throughout the day, but their activity increases during nighttime. Use basic worms for Glow Minnows and Glow Worms for Crystal Guppies. The Mythical Rod or better is recommended for faster catching, though a Standard Rod will work.
Neon Tetras and Biolume Bass require a bit more strategy. Neon Tetras tend to school together in the Shallow Glow streams, so look for groups of small, fast-moving fish. Biolume Bass prefer the deeper pools in Crystal Depths and are more active during rainy weather in the game. Using Shrimp for Neon Tetras and Squid for Biolume Bass will significantly increase your catch rate.
Luminous Loaches and Phantom Pikes present a greater challenge. Luminous Loaches are found in the deep Crystal passages and are most active between 10 PM and 2 AM game time. They’re attracted to Glow Worms and tend to hide near crystal formations. Phantom Pikes, found in Abyssal Darkness, require Special Lures and are more likely to appear during thunderstorms. Patience is key here, as these fish have lower spawn rates.
Spectral Sturgeons and Abyssal Anglers are among the most challenging catches in the cavern. Spectral Sturgeons require Ghost Bait and are found exclusively in Abyssal Darkness. They appear as semi-transparent fish that move slowly but put up a strong fight. Abyssal Anglers are located in the deepest parts of the cavern and are distinguished by their bioluminescent lures. Both fish require at least a Mythical Rod for a reasonable chance of success.
Crystal Carps and Glowfin Sharks are the legendary fish of the cavern. Crystal Carps are found in the center of Crystal Depths and require Crystal Bait. They appear as large, crystalline fish that reflect light beautifully. Glowfin Sharks can appear in any zone but have a very low spawn rate. They’re fast and powerful, requiring both Special Lures and a Mythical Rod or better. Nighttime fishing increases your chances of encountering these legendary species.
The Ethereal Eel and Crystalfin Angelfish are the mythical fish that complete the bestiary. Ethereal Eels are found in Abyssal Darkness and require Ghost Bait. They appear as nearly invisible, with only a faint glow giving them away. Crystalfin Angelfish are the rarest fish in the cavern, found only in Crystal Depths with Crystal Bait. They have a very low spawn rate and appear as beautiful, crystalline fish with translucent fins. Both require the best equipment and maximum patience.
To efficiently complete the Luminescent Cavern Bestiary, you’ll need:
Each rod increases your chances of catching rarer fish and reduces the likelihood of them escaping.
The Luminescent Cavern requires specific bait types:
These can be purchased from the bait vendor near the cavern entrance or crafted using materials found within the cavern.
Several environmental factors affect fish spawning in the Luminescent Cavern:
The game provides a bestiary interface where you can track which fish you’ve caught:
On average, players report taking 15-25 hours to complete the bestiary. This varies based on your fishing level, equipment quality, and luck with rare spawns. The mythical fish, particularly the Crystalfin Angelfish, often take the longest to find.
While technically possible for the common and uncommon fish, you’ll need at least a Mythical Rod for the rare fish and above. Attempting to catch epic, legendary, or mythical fish with a standard rod will result in them escaping almost every time.
Many experienced players recommend catching fish in order of rarity (common to mythical). This approach allows you to familiarize yourself with the cavern layout and fish behaviors before tackling the more challenging species.
Yes, during special seasonal events like the “Luminous Festival” or “Crystal Celebration,” spawn rates for certain fish increase. These events are excellent opportunities to complete difficult entries in your bestiary.
No, fish cannot be traded between players. Each player must catch all fish themselves to complete their personal bestiary. However, players can share tips on locations and timing for specific fish.
Seasonal fish that appear during special events will return in future iterations of the same event. The game developers typically repeat major events annually, so you’ll have another opportunity to catch these fish.
As of the current update, there are no officially confirmed secret fish in the Luminescent Cavern. However, rumors persist about a “Void Leviathan” that appears under specific conditions, though this remains unverified.
To maximize your chances of finding mythical fish:
Completing the Luminescent Cavern Bestiary in Fisch is a challenging but rewarding endeavor that showcases your dedication as an angler. With the right equipment, knowledge of fish behaviors, and a bit of patience, you’ll be able to document all 12 species and claim your rewards. Remember to save this page for quick reference as you work through your collection, and don’t be discouraged by the elusive mythical fish – they’ll appear with time and persistence.
Happy fishing, and may your line always be tight in the glowing waters of the Luminescent Cavern.
