While we were busy trying to look for clues to complete the Mila quest, Fisch released another new update bringing new fishing locations as part of the Blue Moon event. Among all the new fishes, the Moon Idol is the standout one, not only because it’s a secret fish but also because it grants cool buffs to help your fishing adventure. So, if you are curious about how you can get this buff, check out our comprehensive guide about the Moon Idol XP and mutation buff below.
How to Catch the Moon Idol in Fisch
The secret Moon Idol item is the key to getting this exclusive buff in Fisch. To catch the Moon Idol, you need to fish in either of the two Blue Moon bunkers in Sea 1 or Sea 2. The Blue Moon bunkers are located at the following coordinates in Fish:
- Sea 2: At the back of Lushgrove island behind the Sporey Mom NPC at these coordinates: X= 1422.3, Y= 156.4, Z= -572.
- Sea 1: At the first level of Snowcap island between a group of trees at these coordinates: X= 2705, Y= 188.5, Z= 2558.
Once you reach either of the two locations, make sure that the server condition is a Clear Winter Night. Now, use the Blue Moon Totem to open the gates of the secret bunker.
Finally, when you jump inside the bunker, use your best Fisch rods to fish inside the pool to have a chance at catching the Moon Idol, a secret fish with -80% progress speed. So, make sure you have a rod with decent Resilience and Control, or enchanted with Steady or Blessed Song enchant. There are no other specific conditions to catch this item.
