Secret fish make sea creature hunting even more thrilling inFisch,as unlike regular ones, they are so unique that only the most dedicated anglers can reel them in. With the recent Mariana’s Veil update, even more secret fish have been added to the game, including the incredible Crowned Anglerfish— and this one serves a bigger purpose than just sitting in your inventory.
The Crowned Anglerfish is massive, with a diadem on its head and golden patterns that give it a regal look, and players need to catch it to place it on the first Giant Gate’s podium in the Calm Zone. Here’s how to catch the Crowned Anglerfish inFisch.
How To Find Secret Crowned Anglerfish In Fisch
The secret Crowned Anglerfish can be found in theAbyssal Zenith fishing pondinFisch. This pond is located in the third layer of Mariana’s Veil, submerged in the ocean’s darkness and depth. Since it takes a good five to ten minutes to reach it from the surface (Roslit Bay), setting your spawn location to Challenger’s Deep (second layer) will save you a lot of time.
From there, hop into the ocean on the trench side, keep going down, and follow the blue and gray leaves—they’ll lead you straight to the Abyssal Zenith entrance. Once there, you’ll have to navigate through tunnels whiledodging incoming anglerfish guardsbefore reaching the layer’s surface and accessing the pond. It’s a grind to catch the Crowned Anglerfish, so changing your spawn point to Abyssal Zenith will make things much easier. And just a quick heads-up: You’ll need to complete thesubmarine Ice Upgradeto unlock this area.

First things first, stocking up onTruffle Wormsis a must. You can get them from Volcanic and Coral Geodes, but farming a lot of them individually takes forever. If you’ve got the in-game cash, it’s way easier to buy them inbulk from the Desolate Pocketand Traveling merchant.

Lastly, your fishing rod matters a lot. The Abyssal Zenith bestiary is full of slow-biting fish, with legendary to mythical ones having a brutal -60 to -80 Progress Speed.
