How do Catch Flags work in the MEGAMOUTH UPDATE In Fisch?
First thing's first, you gotta activate the Catch Flags feature. To do this, go to the Accessibility section on the left side and click on the Show Catch Flags option, which is off by default, to turn it on.
Types of Catch Flags
Generally speaking, we're seeing two types of Catch Flags in this update:
1: Global Flags: These flags are accessible across all servers but with a super low chance, like 1 in 100,000 to 1 in 1,000,000. Their numbers are fixed in the game and when one player gets a flag, another flag replaces it.
2: Server Flags: These types of flags are only for servers, meaning they're only shown to players inside that server. The chance for these flags is higher though, about 1 in 1,000. Their numbers are also fixed and when players pick them up, the total number doesn't go down.
How to catch the Mega Mouth Shark In Fisch
Now we get to the challenging part of the update, and that's catching the Mega Mouth Shark. For that, you gotta follow a specific mechanic which goes like this:
First, buy the Krill bait from the merchant in the Snow Capped area
Pick a fishing rod, don't worry the type of rod doesn't really matter
Fish at midnight, out in the middle of the ocean
While fishing, definitely use the Cruel Bay bait
What should you keep in mind when catching the Mega Mouth Shark?
One of the tips I'm gonna give you in this FULL GUIDE To MEGAMOUTH UPDATE In Fisch is the little details about catching the Mega Mouth Shark. The first thing is how many players are trying to catch it at the same time. The more players there are, the higher the chance it shows up at night. When it does appear, definitely follow these tips to increase your success rate:
To stop the shark from running away, get close to it really slowly without rushing, just like how you did with the Seal Companion.
After you get close enough, cast your line and start fishing.
When daytime comes, the Mega Mouth Shark disappears.
Important note: The best area to hunt the shark is Tidefire. Also keep in mind that the path the shark takes isn't pre-set and it's completely random.
Migrating whales in Tidefire in the MEGAMOUTH UPDATE In Fisch
In this update, the Humpback Whales are made to migrate. They can show up anywhere, but the best time to catch them is in summer with clear weather. To find their exact location, you gotta listen to the sound of them singing, that's how you'll find them.
Shady Bizarre event preview
You can see two new characters in the Moosewood area:
Shady Guy near the lighthouse: When you talk to him, he just says "..." and also there's a hidden door next to him that doesn't lead anywhere.
Odd, who's lying on a bed inside a house: He says some dialogue about sounds he hears from underground.
These things clearly are related to the Shady Bizarre event coming next week, but there's no full info on that yet.
Final summary of the FULL GUIDE To MEGAMOUTH UPDATE In Fisch
At the end of this FULL GUIDE To MEGAMOUTH UPDATE In Fisch, I gotta say that to catch the Mega Mouth, you need lots of patience and high focus. Public servers that have more players increase the chance of it showing up. The details about the Humpback Whale aren't fully done yet, but soon more precise info will come out. But one thing I can say for sure right now is that the sound of them singing is the main key.
