The alert flashed: Goldwraith sighted. A rush of adrenaline, a quick prayer to the RNG gods, and the frantic scramble to Crowned Ruins began. Hours spent prepping, rods enchanted, bait acquired – all hinged on this moment. So, how do you snag this elusive creature in Fisch?
Pinpointing the Goldwraith’s Hideout
Ever notice how the rarest finds are always tucked away in the most obscure corners? The Goldwraith is no different. You’ll find it during the Goldwraith hunt event (daytime only) within the Crowned Ruins. These ruins reside in Tidefall, an underwater cave connecting Ancient Isle and Moosewood. To get there, bypass the Collapsed Ruins until you reach the Crowned Ruins – the Goldwraith’s exclusive haunt during its active hunt event.
Just as with other hunt events in Fisch, such as the Kraken or Mossjaw hunts, the server will broadcast a notification alerting everyone to the Goldwraith’s presence in the Crowned Ruins. When that banner appears, drop everything and make a beeline for the specified location.
Strategies for Securing the Goldwraith
Think of the Goldwraith hunt as a finely orchestrated performance; preparation is everything. Like the Megalodon hunt, you must be present during the designated hunt event. A server-wide alert will signal the start, prompting a mass exodus to the Goldwraith’s location.
What makes the Goldwraith hard to catch in Fisch?
As an exotic fish, tangling with the Goldwraith calls for high-end gear. This is where those hard-earned resources finally pay off. Wield rods like the Blade of Glorp, the Seraphic Rod, or the Wind Elemental rod to minimize resistance during the catch. Remember, landing the Ancient Goldwraith—a Secret rarity—cranks up the difficulty even further.
Even the mightiest rod is useless if the bait and timing are off. The Goldwraith has distinct tastes:
- Favorite Bait: Sapphire Krill
- Time: Night
Equip yourself with the Sundial Totem to manipulate the time of day to your advantage the instant the event begins.
What is the Sundial Totem used for in Fisch?
Beyond the right gear and timing, consider the Goldwraith’s debuff: an -85% progress speed effect. This is where enchantments become your secret weapon. Imbue your rod with enchantments such as Swift, Steady, Immortal, or the Blessed Song to amplify your progress speed and counter the Goldwraith’s drag.
With these tactics, capturing the Goldwraith becomes significantly easier. This fish is more than a trophy; it’s a key piece in the Obelisk puzzle, leading to Tidefall Castle and the Plesiosaur, which ultimately grants you the Requiem Rod. Success in Fisch is often a series of dominoes; each catch sets off the next.
Having caught the Goldwraith, are you now aiming for even rarer specimens or are you content to leave some mysteries unsolved?
