This guide lists every bestiary location in the Second Sea of Fisch, what fish you can catch at each spot, and the exact coordinates or landmarks you need to find them. You enter the Second Sea after reaching level 100 and completing the quest from the NPC near the Ancient Archives; the bestiary then splits into distinct zones, each with its own catch table.
How the Second Sea Bestiary Works
Unlike the First Sea, the Second Sea bestiary is not one long list. It is divided into separate location tabs that unlock as you discover new areas. Each tab tracks every fish, shark, and rare creature available in that specific water body. When you catch a new species, it is added to that location’s bestiary automatically; you do not need to manually register it.
The total number of entries is roughly 120 across all Second Sea locations, but this number changes with updates. What stays constant is the structure: each zone has its own rarity table, weather requirements, and time-of-day conditions. Some fish only appear during a solar eclipse, others only at night during a storm, and a few are exclusive to a single spot.
All Second Sea Locations and Their Fish
Here is the complete list of bestiary locations in the Second Sea, in the order you are likely to encounter them:
- Ancient Archives (starting dock) – Common fish like Anchovy, Sardine, and Herring. Also has the rare Ancient Serpent, which only appears during an eclipse.
- Sunstone Island – Tropical species: Clownfish, Parrotfish, and the Sunstone Grouper. The legendary Sunstone Shark spawns here at noon.
- Moosewood (Second Sea version) – Freshwater fish: Bass, Perch, and the Moosewood Catfish. The rare Moosewood Sturgeon requires a golden rod.
- Terrapin Island – Turtle-themed fish: Terrapin Snapper, Sea Turtle, and the Terrapin King (a boss fish).
- Forsaken Shores – Dark water fish: Anglerfish, Viperfish, and the Forsaken Leviathan. This is the only place to catch the Abyssal Eel.
- Atlantean Ruins – Ancient fish: Fossil Fish, Atlantean Swordfish, and the Guardian of the Deep. Requires a relic rod to catch some entries.
- Volcanic Vents – Heat-tolerant species: Magma Eel, Lava Bass, and the Volcanic Dragonfish. Only accessible after completing the fire trial.
- Crystal Caverns – Glowing fish: Crystal Minnow, Luminescent Squid, and the Crystal Serpent. Found inside the cave system on Terrapin Island.
Each location has between 10 and 20 entries. The exact list changes with seasonal updates, so check the in-game bestiary after each patch for new additions.
How to Unlock Each Bestiary Location
You do not need to catch every fish to unlock the next area. The locations are tied to quest progression, not fishing progress. Here is the unlock order:
- Complete the level 100 quest to enter the Second Sea – this gives you the Ancient Archives dock.
- Talk to the NPC on Sunstone Island to unlock the tropical zone.
- Finish the Moosewood questline (catch 5 specific fish for the mayor) to unlock Terrapin Island.
- Defeat the Terrapin King boss to unlock Forsaken Shores.
- Complete the relic hunt (3 relics scattered across the map) to open the Atlantean Ruins.
- Solve the fire puzzle in the Volcanic Vents to access that area.
- Find the hidden entrance behind the waterfall on Terrapin Island to enter the Crystal Caverns.
Once an area is unlocked, its bestiary tab appears permanently. You can return anytime to fill in missing entries.
Bestiary Completion Rewards and Milestones
Completing a location’s bestiary gives you a title and a rod skin. For example, completing Sunstone Island grants the “Sunstone Angler” title and a golden rod skin. Completing all Second Sea locations rewards the “Second Sea Master” title and a special bait that increases rare catch rates by 5%.
There is no global reward for 100% completion beyond the titles, but each milestone (25%, 50%, 75%, 100% per location) gives a small amount of in-game currency and XP. The XP is useful for reaching the level cap of 200, which is the current maximum in the Second Sea.
Common Problems and Mistakes
Many players struggle with the same issues when filling the Second Sea bestiary:
- Wrong time of day – Some fish only spawn at 6 AM or 6 PM in-game. Check the in-game clock before casting.
- Weather conditions – Storm fish like the Abyssal Eel require a thunderstorm. You cannot force weather; you must wait for it or use a weather totem (if you have one).
- Using the wrong rod – The Atlantean Ruins requires a relic rod with 0.5% lure speed; a normal rod will catch nothing but seaweed.
- Not using bait – Each location has a preferred bait (e.g., worms for Moosewood, shrimp for Sunstone). Using the correct bait doubles your catch rate for rare fish.
- Leaving the area too soon – Some fish, like the Volcanic Dragonfish, have a 1% spawn rate. You may need 50+ casts. Patience is the real requirement.
If a fish is not appearing, double-check the location’s specific conditions in the bestiary menu. The game shows a small icon for time and weather next to each fish.
Comparing Second Sea Locations
The locations vary significantly in difficulty and reward:
- Easiest – Ancient Archives and Moosewood have common fish with no special conditions. Good for beginners.
- Most profitable – Volcanic Vents and Atlantean Ruins drop high-value fish (500-2000 coins each) but require advanced rods and trials.
- Rarest fish – The Forsaken Leviathan (1/5000 chance) and the Guardian of the Deep (1/3000) are the hardest to catch in the entire game.
- Best for XP – Sunstone Island has a high catch rate and decent XP per fish, making it the best spot to grind levels while filling the bestiary.
There is no “best” location; it depends on your goal. For completion, you need all of them. For money, focus on Volcanic Vents.
Costs and Requirements
Filling the Second Sea bestiary is not free. You need:
- Rod upgrades – A good rod costs 10,000-50,000 coins. The Trident Rod (25,000) is the minimum for rare fish.
- Bait – Each bait type costs 50-200 coins per 10 pieces. You will use hundreds of baits for rare fish.
- Boat – To reach some locations (Atlantean Ruins, Volcanic Vents), you need a boat with 500+ speed. The basic boat is free, but the fast one costs 15,000 coins.
- Time – Real-world time, not in-game. Expect 20-40 hours to complete all locations, depending on luck.
There is no real-money cost; everything is earned in-game. But the coin costs add up to roughly 100,000 coins for all necessary gear.
Safety and Fair Play Notes
Do not use third-party tools or macros to auto-fish. The game’s anti-cheat can reset your bestiary progress or ban your account. Also, do not trade for fish entries; the bestiary is account-bound, and traded fish do not count. The only safe way is manual fishing, but you can use the in-game “auto-cast” feature (if available) to reduce clicking fatigue.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I get to the Second Sea in Fisch?
Reach level 100, then talk to the NPC near the Ancient Archives in the First Sea. He will give you a quest to collect 3 ancient relics. Bring them back, and you can sail through the portal to the Second Sea.
Q: What is the rarest fish in the Second Sea bestiary?
The Forsaken Leviathan, found at Forsaken Shores, has the lowest spawn rate at roughly 1 in 5,000 casts. It requires a storm and night time, and it is a boss fish that you must fight to reel in.
Q: Do I need to complete the whole bestiary to unlock the next sea?
No. The Third Sea is not yet released. When it is, the unlock condition will likely be a level requirement (probably 200), not bestiary completion. Bestiary completion only gives titles and cosmetic rewards.
Q: Can I catch Second Sea fish in the First Sea?
No. Each sea has its own fish pool. You cannot catch Sunstone Grouper in the First Sea, and you cannot catch First Sea fish in the Second Sea (except for a few universal species like Anchovy).
Q: Why is my bestiary not counting a fish I just caught?
If you caught it in the correct location with the correct conditions, it should count. If it does not, you may have caught a “mutated” variant (like a shiny or albino) that is listed separately. Check the bestiary for a separate entry for that variant.
Q: What is the fastest way to complete the Second Sea bestiary?
Use the best rod you can afford, buy the correct bait for each location, and fish during the required time and weather. Focus on one location at a time. For rare fish, consider using a luck boost (like the Lucky Charm) if you have one.
