The Ancient Lochness Monster is one of the most elusive Secret-rarity fish in the experience Fish It. Its incredibly low catch rate and specific spawning conditions make it a true trophy for any dedicated angler. This guide provides a complete, step-by-step breakdown of everything you need to know to find and catch this legendary creature.
Accessing the Spawn Location: Ancient Ruins
Before you can even attempt the catch, you must first reach the correct location.
Reach Level 200: You must be at least level 200 to access the area where the Ancient Lochness Monster spawns.
Enter the Sacred Temple: The journey starts in the Sacred Temple pond.
Find the Door to Ancient Ruins: Inside the Sacred Temple, you will find a special door. This is the entrance to the Ancient Ruins, the second area within the temple. If you are not yet level 200, you will need to grind for XP in the Sacred Temple until you meet the requirement.
Understanding the Event Schedule
The Ancient Lochness Monster does not spawn randomly. It is tied to a specific, time-limited event.
Event Name: Ancient Lochness Monster Hunt.
Frequency: The event starts every four hours.
Duration: Once active, the event only lasts for ten minutes.
A countdown timer will be visible above the pond in the Ancient Ruins, allowing you to know exactly when the next hunt will begin.
The Catch Mechanics and Odds
Understanding how the catch works is crucial to forming a proper strategy.
Extreme Rarity: The base chance to catch the Ancient Lochness Monster is approximately 1 in 3,000,000.
Key Mechanic – Lure Speed over Luck: Unlike catching most other fish, your Luck stat does not affect the odds for this Secret fish. Instead, your success is determined by how many fish you can catch during the 10-minute event window. The more attempts you make, the higher your overall chance of triggering that 1-in-3-million roll. This makes Lure Speed the single most important stat.
Recommended Rods and Gear
To maximize your number of catch attempts, you need a rod with the highest possible Lure Speed.
Here are the best rods for the job:
Element Rod (Best in Slot): With a massive 130% Lure Speed, this is the ultimate tool for the hunt. It significantly reduces the time between your casts, giving you the highest possible number of attempts.
Ghostfinn Rod (Strong Alternative): A great alternative with a very high 118% Lure Speed.
Bamboo Rod (Budget Option): A more accessible option that still offers a solid 98% Lure Speed.
Pro Tips for Success
Since luck is not a factor, your strategy is everything.
Maximize Attempts: Your sole focus during the 10-minute event should be casting and reeling as quickly as possible. Don’t get distracted.
Strength in Numbers: Participate in the event alongside as many other players as possible. When multiple players are fishing in the same server, it increases the overall spawn rate of all fish, including the Secret one. This indirectly boosts everyone’s chances.
Coordinate with Others: If you can, coordinate with a group of players and ensure everyone is using a high Lure Speed rod. A server full of players using Element or Ghostfinn Rods creates the most efficient fishing environment possible.
