vent Exclusive: GET BIRTHDAY MEGALODON in FISCH
The hunt for GET BIRTHDAY MEGALODON in FISCH is the pinnacle of glory of the Anniversary event, requiring timely action and very unique equipment due to its incredibly rare spawn rate and challenging catch rates. We have confirmed the unique spawn mechanic and equipment needed so that you can grab this behemoth, limited-edition fish with confidence before the event ends.
Understanding the Megalodon Spawn Mechanic
Obtaining the Birthday Megalodon is impossible without first knowing about its special spawn pattern, which is hour-based.
Finding the Anniversary Pool
The Megalodon only appears in the temporary Anniversary Pool, which shows up reliably every hour.
The Rule: A "Birthday Megalodon" pool will spawn at every single hour on the hour.
Proof: When the hour (e.g., 1:00, 2:00, 3:00, etc.) rings in, the Birthday Megalodon Anniversary Pool appears immediately.
Tracking: Employ your Fish Radar as your primary device; it will effortlessly show the precise pool's location and confirm the Birthday Megalodon's existence.
Catching the Birthday Megalodon
When the pool is live, catching the Megalodon requires some planning as it is one of the toughest fish to be caught.
The Megalodon has an extremely high difficulty rating with a -95 Progress Speed.
You can't possibly catch it with lower-grade gear.
To guarantee success, you will have to use a rod with higher Control stats like ONIRIFALX ROD. It is important that you possess the finest rod at your disposal to fight against the extremely negative Progress Speed, or your line will break instantly.
The Full Anniversary Bestiary Showcase

The remaining Anniversary fishes and items are obtained through fishing within the time-limited event area. They include:
Birthday Gift: Novelty item that does not open but is required for 100% Bestiary.
Birthday Goldfish: Basically a regular Goldfish but Birthday themed.
Birthday Dumbo Octopus: Themed counterpart of the Dumbo Octopus (the visuals were having issues with some, but the entry is still obtainable).
Birthday Squid: Exclusive, rare birthday-themed squid.
Anomalous Birthday Squid: Less frequent form of the Birthday Squid.
Fishing Gear Required to GET BIRTHDAY MEGALODON in fisch
Due to the infrequency and capture difficulty, we strongly suggest the following when attempting to GET BIRTHDAY MEGALODON in FISCH:
Rod Control: Use your finest control rod to manage the -95 Progress Speed.
Bait: Use the highest level of legendary bait you possess to increase the spawn probability.
Timing: Fish only at the Anniversary Pool during those times when the Megalodon is especially shown to be available on your map.
Conclusion and Final Event Tips
The Birthday Megalodon is a highly coveted, limited-event trophy fish. Since this fish is only tied to the Anniversary Event, we strongly advise players to follow the hourly spawn rule and cap their gear immediately to catch the fish prior to the content becoming forever vaulted.
