Exquisite Fishing Fish and Creature Guide
A non-explicit overview of creature discovery across Calm, Rocky, Turbulent, and Dark Ocean.
Creature discovery in Exquisite Fishing depends on the ocean, depth, hook, and sometimes an additional shop item. The official store confirms that the goal is to catch every creature and descend into unexplored seas.
Documented Creature Types
The available secondary guide repeatedly identifies these encounter types:
- Mermaid
- Shark
- Angler
- Octopus
- Anemone
- Kappa
- Whale
These names recur across different oceans. A creature appearing in one area does not mean its later version uses the same depth or requirements.
Where Creatures Appear
| Ocean | Documented depth range | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Calm Ocean | 50m–300m | Mermaid, Shark, Angler |
| Rocky Ocean | 100m–600m | Octopus, Anemone, Kappa, Angler |
| Turbulent Ocean | 50m–900m | Whale, Mermaid, Kappa, Octopus, Shark |
| Dark Ocean | 50m–2000m | Anemone, Whale, Shark, Mermaid, Kappa, Octopus, Angler |
The ranges above summarize a third-party guide and are not an official developer table.
Why a Target May Not Appear
Check four things before repeating a run:
- Ocean: the creature may only be documented in a different area.
- Depth: your current setup may not reach its encounter point.
- Hook: some targets require a particular hook tier or type.
- Item: some encounters require carrying a matching gift.
Collection Tracking
Player reports on the developer page refer to Fishipedia and Fish Report as collection-tracking screens. Those reports also mention display inconsistencies, including missing entries and reversed fish descriptions. Use the collection screens as a guide, but be aware that an absent entry may be a display issue rather than proof that a catch did not register.
