The thrill of the hunt is calling! Following the success of the Atlantis update, Fisch has introduced the exciting Orca Migration Event.
This limited-time event offers players the chance to catch rare and valuable Orcas, including the elusive Ancient Orca.
This comprehensive guide will provide you with everything you need to know to participate in the Orca Migration Event and maximize your chances of success.
What is the Orca Migration Event?
The Orca Migration Event is a recurring event in Fisch that takes place every hour at random times on each server.
During the event, a pod of Orcas migrates across the map, and players have 15 minutes to catch them.
A server-wide notification, “Orcas Migration has Begun,” will alert you when the event starts.
Keep in mind that only five Orcas can be caught per event, so you need to act fast.
Locating and Following the Orca Migration Route
The Orcas follow a specific migration route:
- Starting Point: The Orcas begin their journey at the northern edge of the map at coordinates X: 825, Y: 125, Z: -3250.
- Ending Point: They travel in a straight line towards the southern edge of the map, ending at coordinates X: 825, Y: 125, Z: 5100.
- Route: Their path takes them past The Arch, Moosewood, and Terrapin Island.
- Recommended Starting Location: The best place to position yourself is in the sea area around Moosewood.
- The Arch POI: For reference, the Arch can be found at these coordinates: XYZ: -3809.9, 136.4, 567.3.
Important: If you’re late to the event, you can still follow the migration route to try and intercept the Orcas.
Essential Gear for Orca Hunting
To successfully hunt Orcas, you’ll need the following:
- Fast Boat: Orcas move quickly, so a fast boat is essential for keeping up with them.
- Best Bait: Shark Head is the most effective bait for attracting Orcas.
- Strong Rod: A powerful rod with high Luck and Lure Speed is highly recommended. The Trident Rod is an excellent choice.
- Fish Radar: While optional, a Fish Radar can help you locate the Orcas more easily by showing the boundaries of their migration zone.
How to Catch Orcas
- Follow the Pod: Use your boat to follow the Orca pod closely as they migrate.
- Don’t Stay Stationary: Continuously move and adjust your position to stay within the Orca’s migration zone.
- Cast Your Line: Cast your line with Shark Head bait when you’re close enough to an Orca.
- Reel It In: Follow the on-screen prompts to reel in the Orca once it’s hooked.
Types of Orcas to Catch
During the Orca Migration Event, you can encounter three types of Orcas:
- Regular Orca: The standard black and white Orca (Legendary).
- Albino Orca: A white variant of the regular Orca (Legendary).
- Ancient Orca: A scarred, ancient-looking Orca (Secret). This rare Orca only appears during the Albino Orca Hunt event, a rarer variant of the standard migration.
Note: The Albino Orca Hunt is a special, less frequent version of the event, making the Ancient Orca even more challenging and rewarding to catch.
Tips for a Successful Orca Hunt
- Be Punctual: Arrive at the starting location before the event begins to maximize your chances.
- Position Yourself Correctly: Make sure you’re within the migration zone, or you won’t be able to catch any Orcas.
- No Special Conditions: You can catch Orcas regardless of weather, time, or season.
- Don’t Give Up: Catching five orcas can take time, persistence is key!
