How to Find and Catch a Helicoprion in Fisch

2024-12-31

Catching the Helicoprion in Fisch is a fun challenge, especially for those aiming to snag all the Mythical fish in the game. If you’re ready to take on the Ancient Isle and reel in this prehistoric marvel, this guide will provide all the details and tips you need to succeed.

Fisch Helicoprion Location, Stats, & More

The Helicoprion is a Mythical fish, which means it’s one of the rarer catches in Fisch. Found exclusively on the Ancient Isle, it can be caught during any time, weather, or season, though it does prefer clear skies.

However, don’t let weather be a limiting factor! I caught mine on a rainy night at the bottom of the waterfall on the west side of the Ancient Isle, proving that the right setup can beat the fish's preferences.

Bait and Rod Recommendations

Using the right bait and rod is critical for catching a Helicoprion. The Squid is the bait of choice and is the best way to attract this Mythical fish. To increase your chances, invest in a rod that boosts your luck or compensates for the Helicoprion’s erratic movements and the -70% progress speed penalty it inflicts while reeling it in.

Here’s a breakdown of the best rods for catching the Helicoprion:

RodLocationCostStats
Mythical RodSold by the Traveling Merchant110,000C$Luck: 45%, Lure Speed: 0%, Max Weight: 2,000 kg
Fortune RodBlacksmith in Roslit Bay12,750C$Luck: 110%, Lure Speed: -35%, Resilience: -15%, Max Weight: 700 kg
Nocturnal RodVertigo near Synth11,000C$Luck: 70%, Lure Speed: -10%, Max Weight: 2,000 kg

When I caught my Helicoprion, it weighed a little over 380kg, so you won’t need a heavy-duty rod like the King’s Rod. Instead, rods that boost Luck, such as the Mythical or Fortune Rod, are ideal. The Helicoprion’s erratic movement can make it tricky to reel in.

If you find yourself struggling to maintain control, consider switching to a rod that has good Control or Resilience. The Steady Rod is a great option for players needing extra stability. Alternatively, using rods with enchantments like Controlled (+0.05 Control), Resilient (+35% Resilience), or Steady (reduces progress loss by 25%) can make a significant difference in your success rate.

When fishing for a Helicoprion, keep an eye out for the telltale pink exclamation point and listen for the Mythical fish bell sound, as well as the -70% progress speed below the control bar. These signals will confirm that you’ve hooked your prize.
