Let me tell you something – when I first unlocked the Royal Spear in Fisch, it completely changed my late-game experience. This isn’t just another fishing tool; it’s a game-changer that can turn your fishing sessions into serious profit machines. If you’re reading this, you’re probably ready to dive into the Crowned Ruins and want to know exactly how to get your hands on this beast of a spear.
I’ve spent countless hours testing the Royal Spear, perfecting my techniques, and I’m here to share everything I’ve learned. From the brutal bestiary grind to the moment you finally hold that 3.75 million C$ spear in your hands, this guide will walk you through every step.
The Royal Spear stands as the pinnacle of spear fishing weapons in Fisch’s Crowned Ruins area. This isn’t your average Lost Jungle spear – we’re talking about a late-game powerhouse designed for serious anglers who’ve mastered the art of spear fishing.
What makes it special? The Royal Spear combines incredible piercing power with two game-changing mutation effects. While its handling might feel a bit rough at first, the sheer damage output and profit potential more than make up for it. I found that once you get used to its unique feel, you’ll be catching fish faster than ever before.
The spear was introduced in Version 1.67.0 and has quickly become the go-to choice for players looking to maximize their earnings in the Crowned Ruins. Trust me, when you see those golden Royal mutations popping up, you’ll understand why this spear is worth every penny.
Let me share my personal journey with this spear. After grinding through the Crowned Ruins bestiary (which took me way longer than I care to admit), I finally had enough C$ to purchase the Royal Spear. My first few catches were rough – the handling felt terrible compared to my trusty Steady Spear.
But then something magical happened. I landed a Black Scabbardfish with the Royal mutation, and suddenly I was staring at a 9.4× value multiplier. That single catch paid for nearly 10% of the spear’s cost! From that moment, I was hooked.
What I love most is how the Royal Spear transforms the spear fishing experience. You’re not just catching fish anymore; you’re hunting for those precious mutations. The adrenaline rush when you see that golden glow on your catch is unmatched. Plus, the high piercing stat means you can finish off even the toughest fish in record time.
First things first, you need to access the Crowned Ruins. Head to coordinates (3138, 132, 910) to find the Underwater Cave entrance. Make sure you have a Tidebreaker+ and Advanced Oxygen Tank – you won’t get far without them.
Once you’re in Tidefall, walk south to GPS (3155, -1052, 1261) to find the Collapsed Ruins entrance. From there, navigate to the backside of the area to find the narrow path leading to the Crowned Ruins.
This is the big one – you need to catch all 13 fish species in the Crowned Ruins. Here’s the complete list:
| Fish Name | Rarity | Bait | Season | Weather | Time |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gnomefish | Common | Shrimp | Spring | Clear | Day |
| Oil Sardine | Common | Flakes | Summer | Clear | Day |
| Roundnose Grenadier | Common | Squid | Winter | Clear | Night |
| Silver Roughy | Uncommon | Shrimp | Autumn | Clear | Day |
| Spotted Drum | Uncommon | Shrimp | Summer | Clear | Night |
| Warty Oreo | Uncommon | Squid | Autumn/Winter | Clear | Day |
| Armorhead | Unusual | — | Summer | Clear | Day |
| Blackspot Tuskfish | Unusual | — | Summer | Clear | Day |
| Tompot Blenny | Rare | Shrimp | Spring/Summer | Clear | Day |
| Black Snoek | Legendary | Minnow | Autumn | Windy | Night |
Pro tip: I struggled with the Tompot Blenny until I discovered Golden Cages. For 25,000 C$ at the Crowned Ruins entrance, these cages can help you catch those elusive rare fish while you’re offline.
Save Up 3,750,000 C$ Yeah, you read that right – 3.75 million C$. This isn’t chump change, but trust me, it’s worth it. I recommend focusing on high-value fish in areas you’ve already mastered, or consider checking out our Fisch totems guide for bonus earning opportunities.
Once you’ve completed the bestiary and saved up the cash, head to the Crowned Ruins entrance. The Royal Spear will be available for purchase there. Double-check your bestiary completion if you don’t see it – the game is strict about that 100% requirement.
Let’s dive into the numbers that make this spear so special:
Core Stats:
What does this mean in practice? The high piercing stat means you’ll be slashing constantly, while the power stat ensures each slash counts. The handling is definitely challenging – I found myself losing progress more often at first. But once you master the timing, you’ll be catching fish incredibly fast.
The real magic is in those mutations. With a combined 70% chance for either Royal or Midas mutation, you’re looking at some serious profit potential. I’ve had sessions where nearly every catch had a mutation, making the spear pay for itself in no time.
Not all fish are created equal when using the Royal Spear. I’ve found that focusing on legendary and mythical fish gives you the best return on investment. The Black Snoek and Black Scabbardfish, when mutated, can sell for hundreds of thousands of C$.
The Royal Spear’s poor handling means you need to be precise. Here’s what works for me:
Since you’re investing so much in this spear, maximize your efficiency:
I keep a simple spreadsheet to track my earnings. On average, I make about 50,000-100,000 C$ per hour with the Royal Spear once I factor in mutation rates. During lucky streaks with multiple Royal mutations, I’ve hit over 300,000 C$ in a single hour.
Let me break down how the Royal Spear compares to other options:
vs. Steady Spear (15,000 C$): The Royal Spear has significantly better piercing and power, but much worse handling. If you’re just starting with spear fishing, stick with the Steady Spear first.
vs. Coral Spear (75,000 C$): The Coral Spear offers 100% Coral mutation (1.8×), which is consistent but less profitable than the Royal Spear’s potential. The Royal Spear is better for high-risk, high-reward gameplay.
vs. Withered Spear (1,750,000 C$): The Withered Spear has better power but worse piercing. Its Withered mutation (9.5×) is slightly better than Royal, but at a lower 25% chance rate. I prefer the Royal Spear for its more consistent mutation rates.
Bottom line: The Royal Spear is absolutely worth it if you’re a dedicated spear fisher with the funds and skill to use it effectively. It’s not for beginners, but for experienced players, it’s the best investment you can make.
I made plenty of mistakes when I first started using the Royal Spear. Learn from my experience:
Mistake #1: Buying too early. Don’t rush to get the Royal Spear if you haven’t mastered spear fishing mechanics. The poor handling will frustrate you.
Mistake #2: Ignoring the bestiary requirements. I tried to buy the spear at 98% completion – it won’t work. Complete the entire bestiary first.
Mistake #3: Wrong fishing technique. The Royal Spear requires different timing than other spears. Practice with cheaper options first.
Mistake #4: Not tracking profits. You need to know if the spear is paying for itself. Keep records of your earnings.
Mistake #5: Giving up too early. The learning curve is real, but once you master it, you’ll wonder how you ever fished without it.
After hundreds of hours with this spear, here are my top tips:
A: Nope, the 100% Crowned Ruins bestiary completion is mandatory. No shortcuts here!
A: In my experience, about 40-60 hours of active fishing, depending on your luck with mutations.
A: Definitely not. The poor handling makes it frustrating for new players. Start with the Steady Spear first.
A: Yes, you can use it anywhere spear fishing is available, but it’s optimized for Crowned Ruins fish.
A: It’s stored in your Equipment Bag permanently, so you won’t lose it unless you sell it.
A: I’d recommend keeping at least one backup spear with better handling for casual fishing sessions.
The Royal Spear represents the pinnacle of spear fishing in Fisch, and honestly, it’s been one of my best investments in the game. The journey to get it – from grinding the Crowned Ruins bestiary to saving up millions of C$ – is challenging but incredibly rewarding.
What I love most is how it transforms late-game fishing from a routine activity into an exciting hunt for those golden mutations. Every fishing session feels different, and the profit potential is insane once you master the technique.
If you’re ready to take your Fisch experience to the next level, the Royal Spear is waiting for you. Just remember to practice with cheaper spears first, complete that bestiary, and save up your C$. Trust me, when you land your first Royal mutation and see that 9.4× multiplier, you’ll know it was all worth it.
