Few players manage to reel in the elusive Octophant on their first try. This rare catch in Fisch demands patience, precise timing, and a sharp eye for the right conditions-miss a beat, and it slips away before you know it.
These bizarre creatures are of limited rarity, as you can only get them while the Fisch Animal Fisch Takeover event is active. Leading this fever dream is none other than the Octophant. If you’re still confused, let me clear the fog for you. The Octophant is a weird combination of an elephant’s head with tentacles. Want to get this cute monstrosity for yourself? Keep reading as we show you how to get the Octophant in Fisch here.
Octophant Location in Fisch
The Octophant can be found in the deep ocean areas of Fisch, usually near rocky formations or coral zones where rare sea creatures spawn. Players often report higher encounter rates during nighttime cycles or stormy weather conditions. To improve your chances, explore regions with strong currents and use bait suitable for large aquatic species, as the Octophant tends to appear in areas with rich marine activity.
The Octophant can only be caught in the Second Sea of Fisch, specifically near Lushgrove Island. Now, if you were out of touch with the game for a while, then let me tell you there’s a whole new sea with eight major locations for now, where you can fish.
To get to the Second Sea, you must complete the Cthulhu boss fight at Terrapin Island. Refer to our linked guides above for help. Once done, follow the steps below to locate the Octophant boss in Fisch:
- Spawn your best ship from the nearest Shipwright on your island.
- Sail to these coordinates: XYZ=1133, 105, -560, to reach the Lushgrove Island. Get a GPS in Fisch if you can’t find them.
- Here, you can use a combination of Tempest and Smokescreen Totems to speed up the Octophant spawn. The mechanism is similar to the Fisch Whale migration so these will work.
As you keep spamming both the totems, you will soon spot the text message at the top of the screen stating that “An Elephant Octopus has been spotted near the Lushgrove“. Now all you need to do is explore the waters around this island, and it won’t be long before you notice the huge Elephant head with a bubble surrounding it.

How to Catch the Octophant in Fisch
The Octophant in Fisch can be caught by visiting waters where rare creatures appear during specific weather conditions or time cycles. Equip a high-quality rod and use premium bait to increase your chances. Patience matters, as the Octophant may take several attempts to appear. Keep an eye on vibration cues and adjust your reeling technique quickly once it bites to prevent it from escaping.
Having located the Elephant Octopus near the Lushgrove island, you will notice that there’s a bubble surrounding it. On top of the monster, the word Unfishable is written in Red, and the bubble health is shown as 25/25.
In order to break the bubble and get the Octophant, players must fish inside this area to reduce the Octophant boss’s health points. Furthermore, catching fish in this area will give you access to the Octophant boss pool and the Octophant bestiary as well.
Fishing with your friends can boost up this process, as catching more fish will result in decreasing the bubble health faster. Finally, once the bubble bursts, you will have a chance to catch this fish. However, before you bring out the best Fisch rods, here are the Octophant preferences you should know:
- Bait: Golden Worm
- Weather: Clear
- Season: Summer
Best Fishing Rods to Catch the Octophant Boss
The best rods for catching the Octophant boss are those with high power and precision stats, allowing you to handle the creature’s strong resistance. The Deepsea Rod and Titansteel Rod are great options because their durability and retraction speed help maintain stamina during long fights. Upgrading your rod with reinforced lines and drag boosters further improves control, reducing the risk of line breaks when the Octophant thrashes.
While the Elephant Octopus puts a -5% progress speed effect on your rod, do note that you might encounter fishes that can give up to -90% penalty while reducing the bubble health. So, you must be equipped with a decent fishing rod with good resilience and luck to catch the fish without any trouble. Here is the list of the best fishing rods you can use:
- Azure of Lagoon Rod: Consider applying the Controlled enchant on this rod and it will help you catch the fishes in no time due to its stabbing ability.
- Abyssal Specter Rod: Consider applying the Mystical/Resilient enchant on this rod and you will get better resilience than Ethereal Prism one.
- Ethereal Prism Rod: Consider applying the Mystical/Resilient enchant on this rod and you will get better luck compared to Abyssal Specter one.
Finally, make sure you have all the necessary totems and baits to catch this beast faster. Tempest Totems are found inside the cave under the Terrapin island, while Smokescreens are found at the back of Mushgrove island.
You can get Golden Worms as rewards from the Fisch AFK mine or redeem the latest Fisch codes to get some baits for free. Also, do check our Fisch bait guide and take your pick if you’re confused. Popping an Aurora Totem can get you better fishes faster. However, you will be able to catch this fish easily without using one.
What are the best rods and bait alternatives for Octophant
Great Dreamer Rod excels for catching Octophant due to its high weight capacity up to 8,000 kg and strong lure stats. Azure of Lagoon Rod serves as a top alternative with superior resilience to handle the boss’s resistance during reeling.
Best Baits
Golden Worm remains the optimal bait, especially in Summer with clear weather, offering the highest attraction rate for Octophant. Deep Coral provides a reliable alternative that players confirm works effectively post-shield break.
Rod Alternatives
Free Spirit Rod suits lighter attempts but may struggle with maximum weight loads. Abyssal Specter Rod or Ethereal Prism Rod work as Second Sea options, though they face a -50% nerf penalty-pair with Hasty or Resilient enchants for boosts.
How to spawn Octophant event with totems
To spawn the Octophant event in Fisch’s Second Sea, alternate specific totems to force rainy weather conditions near Lushgrove Island.
Required Totems
Stock up on Tempest Totems (sets rain), Windset Totems or Sundial Totems (resets weather/time), and optionally Smokescreen Totems for faster cycles. These spawn naturally in rain or can be farmed from Terrapin Island caves and Mushgrove Island backsides.
Spawning Steps
-
Activate a Tempest Totem to trigger rain; wait briefly for a square event pool to appear with the Octophant bubble.
-
If no spawn, use a Windset/Sundial Totem to reset, then spam another Tempest Totem-repeat rapidly until chat announces the event (often under 1 minute).
-
Head to Lushgrove (coords ~C2 or XYZ: 1133, 105, -560) and circle the island; the pool can spawn anywhere nearby.
