Legendary Fish are notoriously difficult to reel in. They have erratic and fast movements in the fishing mini-game, making it a true test of your reflexes and timing. Stardew Valley’s 1.6 Update brought in a bunch of new features, including the ability to place Legendary Fish in fish ponds on your farm. Each fish will give its pond a unique water color and can produce Legendary Fish roe. To experience this new feature, it becomes even more compelling to seek out and successfully catch the Legendary Fish in Stardew Valley. These fish are considered the ultimate test of your fishing skills in the valley, and each has a specific location, season, weather condition, and minimum Fishing Level requirement that you need to reach before you can catch them. You can only catch each Legendary Fish once per save file (or once per player in a multiplayer game). If you lose it or cook it, it’s gone for good. This gives you a good idea of how legendary they really are. Here are the Legendary Fish in Stardew Valley, and how you can catch each one:
| Legendary Fish | Fishing Level Requirement | Location | Season/Weather Condition |
|---|---|---|---|
| Angler | At least 3 | River in Pelican Town | Anytime during Fall |
| Crimsonfish | At least 5 | East pier of the Beach | Summer |
| Glacierfish | At least 6 | Arrowhead Island in the Cindersap Forest | Winter |
| Mutant Carp | No specific requirement | Sewers | Anytime |
| Legend | At least 10 | Mountain Lake | Rainy days in Spring |
Each Legendary Fish has unique requirements and challenges that make them a true test of your skills. The Angler can be caught anywhere in the stretch of the river north of JojaMart, but you need to be standing in the right spot. The Crimsonfish requires a deeper ocean zone and a Fishing Level of at least 5. The Glacierfish can be found on the southern tip of Arrowhead Island, and you need to cast your line at least four tiles away from any land to increase your chances of catching it. Some fish, like the Mutant Carp, can be caught anywhere in the Sewers, but it may take a few tries to hook it. To unlock the Sewers, you need to donate at least 60 items to the museum. The Legend, on the other hand, is considered one of the most challenging fish to catch in Stardew Valley. It only comes out in rainy days during Spring, and you need to have a Fishing Level of at least 10 to even have a chance of hooking it. To catch the Legend, you need to position yourself on the shore closest to the submerged log on the west side of Mountain Lake. Your bobber needs to land in Fishing Zone 5, which is the prime spot to catch the Legend. Even with the right conditions and a high Fishing Level, the Legend can be stubborn. Here are some tips to increase your chances of catching Legendary Fish in Stardew Valley:
- Eat Fishing Buff Foods: Foods like Dish o’ The Sea, Seafoam Pudding, Fish Stew, Fish Taco, and Lobster Bisque can temporarily boost your Fishing level, making it easier to reach the required level and reel in tough catches.
- Use Magic Bait: The Magic Bait lets you catch the Legendary Fish, regardless of time of day, season, or weather.
- Gain Fishing Experience: Reading Skill Books like Bait And Bobber or Book Of Stars can help you gain fishing experience and increase your Fishing Skill.
In addition to these tips, here are some general tips for catching Legendary Fish:
| Tips |
|---|
| Always check the Fishing Zone before casting your line. |
| Keep an eye on your Fishing Level and make sure it meets the required level. |
| Use the right bait for the job. |
| Be patient and persistent, as catching Legendary Fish can take time and effort. |
By following these tips and being mindful of the unique requirements and challenges of each Legendary Fish, you can increase your chances of catching them and become a true fishing master in Stardew Valley.
“The real challenge is not catching the fish, but understanding the water’s secrets and the fish’s habits.”
