The Lucid Leviathan is one of the most elusive and prestigious catches in the world of Fisch. Successfully reeling it in requires more than just patience; it demands the right gear, the perfect bait, and a precise strategy. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know to add the Lucid Leviathan to your collection.
Essential Gear and Enchants for Your Rod
Your choice of fishing rod and its enchantments is the foundation of your success. The Lucid Rod is the standard and most effective tool for this hunt.
Best Enchant: Mystical (Exalted Relics)
The undisputed best enchant for the Lucid Rod is Mystical from the Exalted Relics set. It provides a massive all-around stat boost that is perfectly tailored for this challenge:
+25% Luck: Increases your chance of the Leviathan spawning.
+45% Resilience: Crucial for stabilizing the resistance bar during the fight.
+15% Lure Speed: Allows you to cast more frequently.
+10% Progress Speed: Helps you reel it in faster once hooked.
Alternative Enchants
If you lack access to Exalted Relics, you have other options:
Chaotic Enchant: A solid alternative that provides a good balance of stats.
Piercing Enchant: Can be used effectively if it’s what you have available.
Overclocked (Cosmic Relics): This is an optional, high-end enchant. It is powerful but not necessary, so it can be ignored if you don’t have Cosmic Relics.
The Optimal Bait and Gloves
Using the correct bait is non-negotiable for attracting the Lucid Leviathan.
Best Bait: Luminous Larvae
The Luminous Larvae is the perfect bait for this task. It provides a flat +50 Resilience. When combined with the Mystical enchant on the Lucid Rod, your total Resilience bonus reaches 100, making the fight significantly more manageable.
How to Get Luminous Larvae: You can find them inside Tropical Bait Crates located in the Sunstone region.
Don’t Forget Your Gloves: Angler’s Gloves
Equip the Angler’s Gloves for a significant quality-of-life improvement. They boost all your fishing stats by 10% and provide a 50% chance to not consume your bait after a cast. This makes your fishing session much more efficient and cost-effective.
The Hook Method: Skip Fish Technique
Simply casting your line and waiting won’t cut it. You need to use a specific method to force the Lucid Leviathan to spawn quickly.
Position yourself at the very edge of the fishing pool.
Use the “Skip Fish” method: Rapidly cast your line and immediately reel it back in without waiting for a bite.
While doing this, angle your camera to the upper-right corner once.
Repeat this process consistently. Eventually, you will see the distinctive purple-colored Lucid Leviathan get hooked on your line.
The Fight: Reeling in the Leviathan
Once hooked, the real challenge begins. The Lucid Leviathan is a powerful fish that will test your skills.
Maintain the Rhythm: Your primary goal is to keep the resistance bar stable and in the center.
Prepare for Bites: The Leviathan can thrash and “bite” up to three times during the fight. With around 145 total Resilience, the movement of the bar during these bites will be greatly reduced, giving you more control.
Stay Calm: Panic and erratic movements will cause the bar to bounce wildly. Smooth, consistent inputs are key to victory.
Troubleshooting: If You’re Struggling
The Pool Disappears Too Soon: Fishing pools for the Lucid Leviathan typically last between 15 to 20 minutes. If you fail to hook it in time, you can use an Aurora Totem. Activating this item will significantly increase the chance for the Leviathan to reappear for the duration of the pool’s active time.
Budget-Friendly Setup: For players with limited resources, a combination of a Chaotic Enchant with Golden Worms or a Piercing Enchant with Mistworms can still be effective, though it will be more challenging.
For Higher-Tier Leviathans: When you’re ready to take on stronger variants like the Profane Leviathan, you will need to upgrade your rod. The Elder Moser becomes the better choice due to its superior passive bonuses.
