Fortnite Valentine’s Day Event (February 2026) Start Date, Skins & Complete Guide
Love is definitely in the air for Fortnite players this ! The Fortnite Valentine’s Day Event is right around the…
Let me tell you something hunting for the Reef Titan in Fisch’s brand-new Tidefall update has been one of the most exhilarating experiences I’ve had in this game. After spending countless hours diving through underwater caverns and waiting for hunt events to trigger, I finally managed to catch this majestic exotic fish. Now I’m here to share everything I’ve learned so you can add the Reef Titan to your bestiary without all the trial and error I went through.
The Tidefall update dropped on January 17, 2026, and it completely transformed Fisch by introducing an entire underwater ecosystem packed with new locations, fishing rods, and exotic fish. Among all the new additions, the Reef Titan stands out as one of the most sought-after catches. This isn’t just another fish it’s an exotic creature that only appears during specific hunt events, making it both challenging and incredibly rewarding to catch.
The Reef Titan is an exotic-rarity fish that was introduced in the Tidefall Update (Version 1.67) on January 17, 2026. This creature belongs to the same tier as other legendary exotic fish like the Megalodon and Kraken, which means catching it requires specific conditions, excellent timing, and the right equipment.
| Reef Titan Details | Information |
|---|---|
| Rarity | Exotic |
| Location | Coral Bastion (Tidefall) |
| GPS Coordinates | (2650, -1105, 873) |
| Spawn Condition | Reef Titan Hunt Event Only |
| Event Time | Daytime |
| Preferred Weather | Clear Weather |
| Preferred Season | Spring Season |
| Favorite Bait | N/A (No specific bait preference) |
| Can Catch Multiple Times | Yes |
What makes the Reef Titan special is its connection to the beautiful Coral Bastion area—a vibrant underwater location filled with colorful corals and marine life. This isn’t just a fish you catch for completion; it’s a trophy that demonstrates your mastery of Fisch’s endgame content.
Before you can even think about catching the Reef Titan, you need to unlock access to the Tidefall area itself. This is probably the most important prerequisite, and trust me, rushing this part without proper preparation will only lead to frustration.
The Underwater Opening is located at GPS coordinates (3223, 130, 850) in the Ocean. Here’s how I found it:
The area is marked on your map, so follow the Tidefall marker to make navigation easier.
This quest is mandatory to access Tidefall. I spent about 20 minutes on this, and here’s what you need to do:
As you descend, you’ll notice a purple pressure bar appearing on your screen. This is crucial—if this bar depletes completely, you’ll be eliminated instantly, even if you still have oxygen. Keep diving until you reach a sunken submarine at the bottom.
Right next to the submarine’s mouth, you’ll find a small opening. Swim through this opening to reach the other side. On your left, you’ll see a fast-moving stream of water. Touch this water stream, and it will transport you directly into the Tidefall area.
The first time you enter Tidefall, a brief cutscene will play. After that, the area unlocks permanently on your account.
During the Lost Diver quest, you’ll receive the Abyssal Tonic as a reward. This item is essential—it grants you immunity to the pressure mechanic, allowing you to explore Tidefall freely without worrying about that purple bar draining your health.
Make sure to equip the Abyssal Tonic before any extended exploration in Tidefall. Without it, you’ll constantly be fighting against the pressure timer, which makes fishing nearly impossible.
Once you’ve successfully entered Tidefall, you’re halfway there. Now you need to navigate to the specific sublocation where the Reef Titan spawns—the Coral Bastion.
The Coral Bastion is one of four branch sublocations within Tidefall. Here’s the exact route I take every time:
The visual change is dramatic—you’ll know you’ve arrived when you see the explosion of colors. The Coral Bastion is one of the most beautiful locations in all of Fisch, with pink, purple, blue, and orange corals creating an underwater paradise.
At GPS coordinates (2650, -1105, 873), you’ll find a small pool in the center of the coral formations. This is the exact fishing spot where the Reef Titan appears.
While you’re here, you should know that the Coral Bastion isn’t just about the Reef Titan. This location offers several other benefits:
I always recommend completing the Coral Bastion bestiary while you’re waiting for the Reef Titan hunt event. It’s productive and profitable.
This is where things get interesting. The Reef Titan doesn’t just sit in the Coral Bastion waiting for you to cast your line. It only appears during a special server event called the “Reef Titan Hunt.”
Hunt events are server-wide occurrences that spawn rare exotic fish for a limited time. These events trigger naturally during gameplay, and they’re similar to other hunt mechanics you might have experienced with the Megalodon Hunt or Kraken Hunt.
Here’s what I’ve learned about the Reef Titan Hunt specifically:
Event Timing: The Reef Titan Hunt can only occur during daytime hours in-game. I’ve never seen it trigger at night, so if you’re fishing during nighttime, you’re wasting your time.
Event Trigger: The exact mechanics that trigger a Reef Titan Hunt are not fully documented, but from my experience and community discussions, it appears to be linked to:
Event Notification: When a Reef Titan Hunt begins, you’ll receive a notification at the top of your screen that reads: “A Reef Titan has been spotted in the area.” This message is your cue to immediately head to the Coral Bastion pool if you’re not already there.
Event Duration: The hunt event lasts until one player successfully catches the Reef Titan. Once someone catches it, the event ends for that server. This creates a competitive environment where speed matters.
Multiple Catches: Unlike some limited events, you can catch the Reef Titan multiple times across different hunt events. Each successful catch counts toward your bestiary and can be sold or kept as desired.
I’ve developed a strategy that significantly increases my success rate with hunt events:
Equipment matters tremendously when you’re hunting exotic fish. The Reef Titan is no exception. After testing various rods, I’ve identified the best options for this particular catch.
1. Fabulous Rod (Best Overall)
This is currently the absolute best fishing rod in Fisch, and it’s my top recommendation for the Reef Titan. Here’s why:
The Fabulous Rod costs a premium, but if you have access to it, use it. I caught my first three Reef Titans with this rod, and each catch felt effortless compared to lower-tier alternatives.
2. Ruinous Oath Rod (High-Tier Alternative)
If you don’t have the Fabulous Rod, the Ruinous Oath is an excellent substitute:
I used this rod for my first Reef Titan encounter, and while the catch was more challenging than with the Fabulous Rod, it was definitely manageable.
3. Rod of the Forgotten Fang (Solid Choice)
This rod is particularly good if you’re still building up your equipment collection:
4. Seraphic Rod (Free High-Tier Option)
If you’ve reached the level requirement, the Seraphic Rod is a free option that performs well:
Heaven’s Rod: Features a 15% chance for 5x value multiplier and infinite weight limit. Great for maximizing profit from your Reef Titan catch.
Kraken Rod: Offers a 10x value multiplier chance and guarantees a rare catch every 50 reels. Useful if you’re farming multiple Reef Titans.
Requiem Rod: The newest addition to high-tier rods with instant lure capabilities and massive luck stats. Requires crafting materials from Tidefall quests.
Tidemourner Rod: Features fish-stunning passives that can make the catching minigame significantly easier, especially for difficult exotic fish.
While many rods can technically catch the Reef Titan, I strongly recommend avoiding:
The resistance you’ll face during the catching minigame with inadequate equipment simply isn’t worth the frustration.
Even with the best fishing rod, proper enchantments can make the difference between success and failure when hunting the Reef Titan.
1. Herculean Enchantment
This is my number one enchantment for exotic fish hunting:
The increased weight capacity ensures you can handle any size Reef Titan, while the control and progress speed bonuses make the minigame much more forgiving.
2. Mystical Enchantment
Perfect for rods with low base resilience:
I used Mystical on my Tidemourner Rod, and it transformed an otherwise difficult-to-use rod into a reliable exotic hunter.
3. Hasty Enchantment
If you’re farming multiple Reef Titans:
Pair this with the Rapid Catchers mutation for near-instant fish luring.
4. Divine Enchantment
For players focused on profit maximization:
5. Sea King Enchantment
Provides a balanced improvement across all stats:
If you’re new to enchanting in Fisch, here’s the process:
For guaranteed specific enchantments, you’ll need Exalted Relics, which allow you to choose the exact enchantment you want.
Understanding the Reef Titan’s preferences can significantly improve your success rate. Based on my catches and community data, here are the optimal conditions:
| Condition Type | Preferred State |
|---|---|
| Weather | Clear Weather |
| Season | Spring Season |
| Time | Daytime (Required for hunt event) |
| Bait | None (No specific preference) |
I always carry specific totems when hunting the Reef Titan:
Smokescreen Totem: While the Reef Titan prefers clear weather, having this on hand allows you to change conditions if you’re targeting other fish in the area.
Sundial Totem: Ensures daytime conditions when you need them. Since the hunt event only triggers during daytime, this is particularly useful if you’re in a night cycle when the event notification appears.
Aurora Totem: While not directly related to the Reef Titan, this can increase your overall luck for better catches.
The Reef Titan doesn’t require specific bait, which is actually a blessing. This means you can focus your bait resources on other fish in the Coral Bastion while waiting for the hunt event.
Let me walk you through the exact process I use every single time I hunt for the Reef Titan. This method has given me a 100% success rate over my last ten hunt events.
Before you even think about fishing, make sure you have:
This is where patience becomes crucial. Here’s what I do while waiting:
Pro Tip: I usually spend 30-45 minutes fishing in one server. If no hunt event triggers during that time, I server-hop to a more active server.
The moment you see “A Reef Titan has been spotted in the area” at the top of your screen:
When the Reef Titan bites:
During the Minigame:
With High-Tier Rods and Enchantments:
The catch should be relatively smooth. I typically complete the minigame in 10-15 seconds with my Fabulous Rod + Herculean setup. Lower-tier rods might take 30-45 seconds, but it’s still very manageable.
Once you successfully reel in the Reef Titan:
Immediately After:
I recommend checking the appraisal value of your Reef Titan at the Drowned Appraiser. Depending on weight and mutations, you might have caught an especially valuable specimen.
After talking with dozens of players and watching numerous failed attempts, I’ve identified the most common mistakes that prevent successful Reef Titan catches:
The Problem: Players try to hunt the Reef Titan without proper equipment or access unlocked.
The Solution: Complete all prerequisites first. Don’t rush to Tidefall without the Abyssal Tonic. Don’t attempt the catch with a Flimsy Rod.
The Problem: Fishing at night or during non-hunt periods.
The Solution: The hunt event ONLY triggers during in-game daytime. Use the Sundial Totem if needed, and only fish seriously during daytime cycles.
The Problem: Fishing from the wrong spot or outside the specific pool.
The Solution: Use GPS coordinates (2650, -1105, 873) exactly. Stand at the edge of the central pool in Coral Bastion. If you’re not in the right spot, the Reef Titan won’t spawn for you even during the hunt event.
The Problem: Players overcompensate with button presses, causing the bar to swing wildly.
The Solution: Stay calm. Small, controlled inputs are better than frantic button mashing. Remember, you have time—exotic fish don’t escape easily with proper equipment.
The Problem: Using an unenchanted rod or wrong enchantment choice.
The Solution: Always enchant your rod before hunting exotics. Herculean or Mystical are safe choices that dramatically improve success rates.
The Problem: Staying in dead servers with low player counts.
The Solution: Hunt events seem to trigger more frequently on active servers with 15+ players. If your server feels dead, hop to a busier one.
The Problem: Missing hunt events because you’re not connected to the community.
The Solution: Join the official Fisch Discord, Reddit community, or Twitter. Players constantly announce active hunt events, and you can join their servers immediately.
While exact stats for the Reef Titan are still being documented by the community (the fish is very new), here’s what we know so far based on catches:
Rarity: Exotic (highest tier)
Average Value: Varies based on weight, mutations, and appraisal luck, but expect anywhere from 50,000 C$ to 200,000+ C$ for exceptional specimens
Weight Range: Data still being collected, but exotic fish typically range from several hundred to several thousand kg
Mutations: The Reef Titan can appear with any standard mutation available in Fisch, including:
Appraisal Multipliers: With the right rod passives and appraisal luck, you can multiply the Reef Titan’s value significantly. My best catch sold for 287,000 C$ after appraisal bonuses.
While you’re waiting for the Reef Titan hunt event, you might as well complete the Coral Bastion bestiary. Here are all 10 fish you can catch in this beautiful location:
Each of these fish has specific bait, weather, and time preferences. Catching all 10 completes the Coral Bastion bestiary and rewards you with 50,000 C$ and 175,000 XP—a substantial bonus that makes the wait for the Reef Titan hunt much more productive.
The Tidefall update is absolutely massive, and the Reef Titan is just one piece of the puzzle. While you’re exploring this underwater wonderland, consider checking out these other features:
Tidefall introduced four major hunt events:
Each hunt event spawns a unique exotic fish with its own challenges and rewards.
Seven new rods were added with the Tidefall update:
Five Obelisks are scattered throughout Tidefall. Solving all of them unlocks the Tidefall Castle gate, which grants access to:
Each Obelisk requires specific hunt exotic fish or items from Tidefall. I spent about 3 hours solving all five puzzles, but the rewards were absolutely worth it.
The Tidefall update introduced a new crafting system with three essence types:
These essences are used at the Infusion Altar (located in Sunken Reliquary) to upgrade fishing rods with special modifications.
This is a server-wide event triggered by using a Dripstone Collapse Totem. When activated:
No. The Reef Titan exclusively spawns during Reef Titan Hunt events. You cannot catch it through regular fishing, no matter how long you wait or what equipment you use.
Hunt events trigger randomly, but they appear to be influenced by server activity and in-game time cycles. On average, I see one Reef Titan Hunt every 1-2 hours on active servers during daytime.
No. The hunt event ends as soon as one player successfully catches the Reef Titan. This creates a competitive environment where the first player to catch it wins.
No. The Reef Titan has no specific bait preference, so you can use any bait or no bait at all. Focus instead on having the right rod and enchantments.
If you hook the fish but fail the minigame, or if another player catches it before you, the hunt event ends. You’ll need to wait for the next hunt event to trigger for another chance.
Yes! The Reef Titan can have any standard mutation available in Fisch, including Shiny, Sparkling, and various cosmetic mutations. These mutations increase its sell value significantly.
The value is comparable to other exotic fish like the Megalodon or Kraken. The exact value depends on weight, mutations, and appraisal bonuses. My highest-value Reef Titan sold for 287,000 C$.
No. The Reef Titan can be caught as soon as you have access to the Coral Bastion location and a hunt event triggers. Bestiary completion is not required.
No. The Reef Titan Hunt event only triggers during in-game daytime. Use a Sundial Totem to ensure daytime conditions if needed.
While technically any rod with sufficient weight capacity can catch it, I strongly recommend using at minimum a Tier 6 rod (Rod of the Depths or Auric Rod level). Lower-tier rods will make the minigame extremely difficult.
No. There’s no totem or item that directly triggers Reef Titan Hunt events. They occur naturally based on server conditions.
As many times as you want! Each hunt event gives you a chance to catch one Reef Titan. You can collect multiples across different hunt events.
Yes. Catching the Reef Titan adds it to your Coral Bastion bestiary and your overall Fisch bestiary.
Get to the Coral Bastion as fast as possible! Use the GPS to navigate quickly. However, if you’re too far away, you might miss the opportunity as another player could catch it first.
Yes! The code “Tidefall” was released with the update and provides a special skin and random hunt totem. Redeem it before it expires.
After catching the Reef Titan more than 20 times, I’ve developed some advanced strategies that might help you maximize your efficiency:
Instead of waiting on one server indefinitely, I rotate between 3-5 active servers. Here’s my system:
This rotation system increases your chances of encountering a hunt event because you’re exposing yourself to multiple server probability rolls.
Join the Fisch Discord and enable notifications for hunt event announcements. When someone posts “Reef Titan Hunt active on Server [Name],” you can:
I’ve caught 6 Reef Titans using this method—it’s incredibly effective.
If you’re playing with friends, coordinate your efforts:
This maximizes your group’s overall hunt event success rate.
Based on my tracking, hunt events seem more frequent during:
Block out 2-3 hours during these high-activity periods for maximum efficiency.
I carry two rods when hunting the Reef Titan:
This lets me fish productively while waiting without constantly switching equipment.
Catching the Reef Titan is one thing—getting maximum value from it is another. Here’s how I maximize my profit:
Visit the Drowned Appraiser in Tidefall with your Reef Titan. If you have:
You can multiply the Reef Titan’s base value by 5x, 10x, or even higher. My record is a 10.5x multiplier on a Sparkling Reef Titan, resulting in a sale price of 287,000 C$.
If you’re using rods like the Wildflower Rod (30% mutation chance) or Luminescent Oath (Perfect Catch gives Mastered mutation), you can increase the likelihood of catching mutated Reef Titans, which sell for significantly more.
Perfect catches provide:
While the Reef Titan’s value dwarfs the 10 C$ bonus, the XP multiplier is meaningful for leveling, and rod passives can be game-changing.
If you’re not desperate for cash, hold onto your Reef Titans until:
These multipliers stack with everything else, potentially doubling or tripling your total profit.
The Fisch community has been incredibly helpful in sharing strategies for the Reef Titan. Here are some of the best tips I’ve gathered from fellow fishers:
From Discord User “DeepDiver_Pro”: “Use the Coral Rod while waiting for hunt events. It has a passive that increases coral area fish spawn rates, making your wait time more productive.”
From Reddit u/FischMaster: “Keep a Smokescreen Totem in your hotbar. Sometimes the weather changes mid-hunt, and you want to instantly fix it to match the Reef Titan’s clear weather preference.”
From YouTube FischGuides: “The Reef Titan’s catch difficulty scales with your rod tier. Paradoxically, using a mid-tier rod with perfect enchantments can sometimes be easier than using the Fabulous Rod with no enchants.”
From Twitter @FischHunter: “Server hop specifically to servers with 20-30 players. Too few players and hunt events rarely trigger. Too many and someone else will catch it before you.”
From TikTok FischTips: “The notification appears 3-5 seconds before the Reef Titan actually spawns in the pool. Use this time to position yourself perfectly and start your cast.”
Even with perfect preparation, you might encounter problems. Here’s how to solve them:
Solution: From Drowned Appraiser, face exactly east. Jump over the rocky platforms. You should see the colors change dramatically after 30-40 seconds of walking. If you’re still lost, use GPS coordinates (2650, -1105, 873) and navigate using your minimap.
Solution: You need the Abyssal Tonic equipped. This is obtained from completing the Lost Diver quest. Check your inventory—it might be there but not equipped. Equip it in your accessory slots.
Solution:
Solution: You’re probably on a low-population server. Join servers with 20+ active players. Check the player list before committing to hunting.
Solution:
Solution: The Reef Titan’s weight varies, but it can exceed 5,000 kg. You need either:
Solution: Make sure you:
If it’s still not working, try the quest again on a different server.
The Reef Titan represents everything I love about Fisch—it’s challenging, rewarding, and absolutely beautiful. The journey from unlocking Tidefall to successfully catching this majestic creature is filled with exploration, preparation, and those heart-pounding moments when the hunt event triggers.
If you’re just starting your Reef Titan journey, here’s my ultimate recommendation list:
Essential Priorities:
Optimal Setup:
Time Investment: Realistically, plan for 2-4 hours of active hunting to catch your first Reef Titan. This includes:
The Tidefall update has breathed incredible new life into Fisch, and the Reef Titan is the crown jewel of this expansion. Every time I return to the Coral Bastion and see those vibrant corals surrounding the pool, I’m reminded why this game has captured so many players’ hearts.
Don’t get discouraged if your first few attempts fail. I spent nearly 6 hours before catching my first Reef Titan, but that success felt absolutely incredible. Now, 20+ catches later, I can consistently land this exotic fish within minutes of a hunt event triggering.
The beauty of Fisch is that the journey is just as rewarding as the destination. While you’re waiting for that hunt notification, you’ll complete bestiaries, discover secrets, meet other fishers, and build your skills. Every moment spent in Tidefall contributes to your overall mastery of the game.
Remember to bookmark this guide and come back whenever you need a refresher. The Fisch community is constantly discovering new strategies and optimizations, so stay connected to Discord, Reddit, and social media for the latest tips.
Good luck out there, fisher! May your lines be tight, your rods be strong, and may the Reef Titan grace your bestiary soon. When you finally land that first catch, come back and share your success story—I’d love to hear it!
Now get out there and show that Reef Titan who’s the master of Tidefall. Happy fishing! 🎣
