As someone who’s spent countless hours exploring the depths of Roblox Fisch, I can tell you that the Tidefall update completely changed the endgame experience. When I first dove into those mysterious underwater caves, I was blown away by the sheer scale of content – especially those four massive hunt bosses that everyone’s talking about. Trust me, mastering these hunts isn’t just about bragging rights; it’s your ticket to the best gear and secrets in the entire game.
Tidefall is Fisch’s most ambitious update yet, introducing an extensive underwater cave system that serves as the game’s premier endgame zone. Released in version 1.67, this massive expansion adds six primary sublocations, each with its own unique ecosystem, NPCs, and – most importantly – exclusive hunt events. The area is only accessible through the Underwater Opening at coordinates 3224, 130, 847, and you’ll need proper diving gear just to survive the intense pressure mechanics.
What makes Tidefall special is how it integrates everything – from the Obelisk puzzles that gate progression to the Infusion Altar for rod upgrades. I’ve seen players spend weeks here and still discover new secrets, which is exactly why I’m excited to share everything I’ve learned about those elusive hunt events.
Let me be honest – I was skeptical about another fishing update at first. But there’s something incredibly thrilling about the hunt system in Tidefall that keeps me coming back. Unlike regular fishing where you’re just waiting for bites, hunts feel like actual boss battles. The server-wide notifications, the race against time to reach the location, and those heart-pounding moments when you finally hook one of these massive creatures – it’s unlike anything else in Fisch.
What really hooked me (pun intended) is how each hunt tells its own story. The Plesiosaur gliding through castle ruins, the Reef Titan awakening among glowing coral structures, the Pliosaur stalking collapsed underwater cities – they’re not just fish, they’re living parts of Tidefall’s mysterious ecosystem. Plus, the progression system where catching these hunts unlocks even more content creates this satisfying loop that makes every successful catch feel meaningful.
After dozens of failed attempts and way too many lost catches, I’ve developed a systematic approach to finding and catching all four Tidefall hunts. Here’s everything you need to know:
Location: Tidefall Castle (unlocked after completing Obelisk puzzles) Spawn Rate: 0.2% during day, 0.02% for Forbidden variant Best Conditions: Shark Head bait, Foggy weather, Night time, Winter season
The Plesiosaur is actually the final hunt you’ll encounter, as it only appears in Tidefall Castle. To unlock the castle, you’ll need to complete all five Obelisk puzzles throughout Tidefall. Once inside, watch for the hunt notification and head to the central pool. The Forbidden Plesiosaur variant is incredibly rare but worth the extra effort – it’s marked with a black exclamation point when hooked.
Pro Tip: Use the Sundial Totem and Smokescreen Totem to control time and weather when the hunt triggers. The Plesiosaur applies heavy progress penalties, so enchant your rod with Swift or Steady beforehand.
Location: Coral Bastion Spawn Rate: 1% during day, 0.1% for Colossus variant Visual Cues: Glowing coral structures, screen shake, underwater rumbling
The Reef Titan is probably the most accessible of the four hunts, thanks to its higher spawn rate. Head to Coral Bastion from the main Tidefall hub and look for the large coral platforms. When the hunt activates, you’ll notice the coral glowing brighter than usual and feel the screen shaking. The Colossus variant is much rarer but drops significantly better rewards.
Strategy Tip: This hunt tends to spawn more frequently during server peak times. I’ve had the most success between 4-7 PM EST when servers are most active. The Coral Rod sold in the area (30,000 C$) works well for this specific hunt.
Location: Collapsed Ruins Spawn Rate: 0.05% during day, 0.005% for Ancestral variant Coordinates: 3149, -1052, 1297 Requirements: Shark Head bait, Foggy weather, Night time, Winter season
The Pliosaur is where things get really challenging. Located in the Collapsed Ruins area, this hunt has the lowest base spawn rate of the four main variants. What makes it particularly difficult is the -90% progress speed penalty it applies to your rod. You’ll absolutely need high-tier enchantments to succeed.
Essential Preparation: Use a rod in the Ruinous Oath tier or higher, enchant with Swift and Blessed Song, and always keep Smokescreen and Sundial Totems ready. The Pliosaur is also required for the Red/Orange Obelisk, making it crucial for progression.
Location: Sunken Reliquary Spawn Rate: 1% during day, 0.1% for Awakened variant Special Feature: Connected to Infusion Altar for rod upgrades
The Omnithal might be the most mysterious of all Tidefall hunts. Found in the Sunken Reliquary, this creature manifests with water distortion effects and unusual ambient sounds. What makes it unique is its connection to the Infusion Altar – you’ll need to catch Omnithal (and other hunts) to gather the three essences required for rod upgrades.
Advanced Strategy: The Sunken Reliquary also contains the Magical Diver NPC who gives important quests. I recommend completing these quests while waiting for Omnithal hunts, as they’ll help you understand the area’s mechanics better.
Based on my experience, here’s what you absolutely need before attempting Tidefall hunts:
Required Gear:
Recommended Enchantments:
Essential Items:
After countless hours in Tidefall, I’ve learned some strategies that most guides don’t mention:
Server Strategy: Don’t server hop constantly. Instead, find a stable, moderately populated server and stay there. Hunt events trigger more frequently in active servers, and server hopping can actually make you miss events.
Timing Matters: Each hunt has specific time and weather preferences. Use the totems to manipulate conditions when events trigger – I’ve seen catch rates improve by 300% when using the right conditions.
Positioning is Key: When a hunt notification appears, don’t just run to the area. Study the pool locations beforehand and position yourself strategically. Some hunts have multiple possible spawn points within their zones.
The 15-Minute Rule: Most hunts give you about 15 minutes from notification to catch. Don’t waste time traveling – keep your gear ready and know the fastest routes to each location.
Enchantment Synergy: Certain enchantments work better together. Swift + Steady is my go-to combination for Pliosaur, while Blessed Song + Immortal works great for Omnithal.
I’ve made plenty of mistakes learning these hunts, so let me save you some frustration:
Don’t Die During Hunts: Respawning can reset your position and waste precious time. Always keep health items ready and know when to retreat.
Ignoring Visual Cues: Each hunt has specific visual indicators. Learn to recognize them – they often appear before the official notification.
Wrong Equipment: Don’t attempt hunts with basic rods. The progress penalties and difficulty spikes will just waste your time.
Forgetting Pressure Mechanics: Even with diving gear, certain areas apply extra pressure. Always carry Abyssal Tonics.
Missing the Obelisk Connection: Remember that these hunts aren’t just for collection – they’re essential for progression. Plan your route to complete Obelisk puzzles efficiently.
The Tidefall update continues to evolve with regular patches. Version 1.67.2 significantly improved visibility in certain locations at night, making hunts easier to spot. Keep an eye on the official Fisch Discord for patch notes and community events – sometimes developers host special hunt weekends with increased spawn rates.

Mastering the Tidefall hunts is one of the most rewarding experiences in Fisch, and I hope this guide helps you avoid the frustration I went through learning them. Remember, these hunts aren’t just about catching rare fish – they’re your gateway to the best content the game has to offer.
Start with the Reef Titan to build confidence, work your way through the Pliosaur and Omnithal challenges, and then tackle the Plesiosaur once you’ve unlocked the castle. The progression system is brilliantly designed to keep you engaged, and each successful hunt opens up new possibilities.
