The first thing you should know is that you must be level 250 and above to reach the Lushgrove Beastiary in Fisch. Only when you meet this requirement can you head over to the Terrapin island, where you must complete the Cthulhu boss fight. Completing this fight will help you get to the Second Sea.

Best Tips and Tricks to Complete Lushgrove Bestiary in Fisch
Use high-resilience rods like Abyssal Specter, Ethereal Prism, or Rod of the Forgotten Fang, since first-sea options suffer a 50% stat penalty in Lushgrove. Pair them with Deep Coral or Seaweed baits for better lure speed and resilience, plus Immortal or Mystical enchants to counter slow progress on tough catches like Idolfish and Primordial Levi. Match each fish’s bait, weather, season, and time precisely-totems let you force conditions such as foggy autumn nights for Hollow Snapper or windy winter days for Idolfish-and the Rod of the Forgotten Fang with Deep Coral and Immortal proves a reliable setup to fill the bestiary fast.
Getting all the fish in the Lushgrove beastiary is as easy as it gets when you have some of the best rods in Fisch. Once you have the best rods, you can go for some of the best baits and enchants that will sync perfectly with your combination. So, follow these tips below, and you will be able to complete the bestiary soon:
1. Best Rods for Lushgrove Island
Since the Lushgrove island consists of some of the hardest catches, including the Idolfish with -80% progress speed effect and the Secret Primordial Levi with -85% progress speed effect. As such it will be really difficult to catch these with average rods having low Resilience.
Moreover, you must note that all first sea fishing rods will receive a major debuff of -50% on all stats. So, I would recommend using the Abyssal Specter Rod, Ethereal Prism Rod, or the Rod of the Forgotten Fang. Currently, the rods in the 2nd sea need a major boost to make them ideal for use rather than choosing the former ones.
2. Best Baits for Lushgrove Island
Since all the rods from the First Sea have received a major nerf, it becomes necessary to use the proper baits that boost your stats. This includes baits that increase your Resilience and Luck.
In our experience, we recommend using Corals, Seaweed, or Deep Coral to help you with Resilience and Lure Speed. However, if you would like to increase your luck, consider going with the Weird Algae. Lastly, you can redeem the latest Fisch codes to get some for free as well. If you want more insight, then check out our Fisch bait guide.
3. Use the Best Enchants for Lushgrove Beastiary
You can go with the Quality enchant to increase the overall stats in all the rods we have mentioned. Since all of them are well-balanced rods, applying this one is better. You may also consider using the Mystical or the Immortal enchant to bump up the Resilience or Luck stats, since they ultimately will be nerfed in the 2nd sea.
You will need Enchant Relics for the former enchant, while for the latter two, you will need some Exalted Relics to get the suitable enchants.
4. Best Rod, Bait, and Enchant Combo for Lushgrove Beastiary
Finally, the best combination you will need to complete the bestiary is using the Rod of the Forgotten Fang with Deep Coral baits and Immortal enchantment. I used this combination and caught all the fishes in no time.
