To complete the Desolate Deep bestiary in Fisch, catch all 12 entries listed for the location. Most can be caught in the main Desolate Deep pond; match bait, time, weather and season preferences from the checklist below. Sea Mine requires a Crab Cage, while Emperor Jellyfish is listed with Magnet bait and Rainy weather. These are the community wiki’s reported preferences, not guaranteed catch conditions or rates.

Desolate Deep bestiary checklist

The Fisch Wiki’s Desolate Deep page, updated September 25, 2026, lists 12 catches across seven rarity groups. Use the table to plan your bait and fishing conditions; check the in-game preferences if a later game update changes them.

Rarity Catch Bait Time Weather Season
Trash Stalactite Magnet Any Any Any
Common Horseshoe Crab Any Any Clear or Rainy Spring
Common Slate Tuna Super Flakes Any Clear or Rainy Spring
Uncommon Phantom Ray Weird Algae Night Any Summer or Autumn
Uncommon Coral Geode Magnet Any Any Any
Unusual Cockatoo Squid Minnow Night Any Summer or Winter
Unusual Rockstar Hermit Crab Any Any Foggy Summer
Rare Banditfish Insect Any Any Spring
Legendary Midnight Axolotl Insect Night Any Spring or Autumn
Legendary Barbed Shark Fish Head Any Any Any
Mythical Emperor Jellyfish Magnet Any Rainy Any
Mythical Sea Mine Crab Cage Any Clear Any

“Any” means the wiki lists no preference for that condition. The list has 12 entries; do not rely on search snippets that describe a 13th catch.

Where to fish in Desolate Deep

The Desolate Deep is behind Sunstone Island. The Fisch Wiki’s location guide directs players to Point Nemo Buoy at X: -791, Y: 142, Z: -3102, then down into the trench. Take the left cave to reach the pond where the Desolate Deep bestiary catches are found. The right cave leads to Desolate Pocket, a separate area.

Most entries can be targeted in the main pond. Sea Mine is the exception to ordinary rod fishing in the checklist: the wiki lists a Crab Cage as its bait or catch method, with Clear weather and no time or season preference.

Plan catches around shared conditions

Use the condition columns to group targets rather than waiting on one fish at a time. For example, a night session in summer can cover Cockatoo Squid and Phantom Ray; night in autumn can cover Phantom Ray and Midnight Axolotl. Spring targets include Horseshoe Crab, Slate Tuna and Banditfish, with Midnight Axolotl also listed for spring nights. Rainy weather suits Emperor Jellyfish and is listed for both common catches; Foggy summer is the listed combination for Rockstar Hermit Crab.

These combinations identify overlapping preferences, not a guarantee that a fish will appear. The wiki does not publish catch probabilities or an estimated completion time, so allow for repeated attempts and confirm preferences in-game if results differ.

Reaching Brine Pool is a separate route

Brine Pool is not the main Desolate Deep pond. The Fisch Wiki route guide describes reaching it from the lantern-bearing NPC’s facing direction, toward a rocky platform and a crevice. It lists two in-game traversal options: a Glider for 900C$ or a Tidebreaker for 40,000C$. A Reinforced Rod is required to fish in Brine Pool. These route and gear details matter only if you are also visiting Brine Pool; they are not listed as requirements for the 12 catches in the Desolate Deep table.

What completion unlocks—and what it does not confirm

The Desolate Pocket page associates completing the Desolate Deep bestiary and diving into an underwater cave in the pocket with obtaining the Trident Rod. The page does not give a complete acquisition walkthrough, so treat that as a progression connection rather than a full set of instructions. The general Bestiary page says the book’s bookmark turns shiny at 100% completion of the entire Bestiary; that is a global indicator, not confirmation of a special Desolate Deep-only progress marker.

Bestiaries are organized by location. The general page also excludes Magic Threads, Ancient Threads, Lunar Threads, Treasure Maps and Nukes from Bestiary entries.

Sources and version caveat

The catch list and route information come from the community-maintained Fisch Wiki, rather than an official developer confirmation. Its Desolate Deep and Desolate Pocket pages show September 25, 2026 update dates; the general Bestiary excerpt reviewed did not show an update date. Game data can change, so the in-game conditions take precedence if they conflict with the listed preferences.

Product prices and availability are accurate as of the date/time indicated and are subject to change. Any price and availability information displayed on Amazon at the time of purchase will apply.
