All Fisch Ashfall Bestiary Fish Guide & Best Bait to Catch Them!

As we edge closer to the Mariana’s Veil update, Fisch is heating up—literally. With the Roslit Volcano erupting, the game is hosting its first live event, offering not only a dramatic spectacle but also a chance to snag limited-time fish. This guide will walk you through the new Ashfall bestiary, share essential tips, and help you gear up to complete the event before it fades away.

Understanding the Ashfall Bestiary

During the Ashfall event, all fish caught are of limited rarity, meaning you’ll only see them during the volcano eruption. There’s no seasonal restriction—so when the volcano’s in full blast, it’s time to lock in your catches. The bestiary consists of 9 unique fish, each with its own bait and weather requirements, and some even carry progress penalties that can slow you down if you’re not prepared.

Essential Gear and Rod Recommendations

Using the right rod is just as important as matching the correct bait and weather conditions. Here are some tips to boost your efficiency:

• No-Life Rod: A reliable choice for this event since it allows you to use any bait without affecting its stats. It’s ideal for players who want a no-fuss experience.

• Rod of the Depths: If you’re looking to fast-track your progress, this rod gives you a bonus—every three catches guarantee an extra catch. It’s a great option for speeding through the bestiary.

• Brick Rod Tip: When it comes to the challenging Ashcloud Archerfish, which suffers from a -90% progress penalty, the Brick rod can be a lifesaver. Pair it with coal or a universal luck bait to overcome its sluggish progress.

In addition to these rods, revisiting our Fisch enchants list for the optimal bait effect is advisable. Many players have found the Hasty enchantment particularly useful for events like this.

Adjusting Weather to Your Advantage

Certain high-rarity fish, such as the Ashcloud Archerfish and Burnt Betta, require specific weather conditions to confirm the catch. To ensure you’re fishing under the optimal conditions, consider using weather-changing totems like:

• Windset
• Smokescreen
• Tempest

These totems help manipulate the in-game weather, giving you a better shot at catching those elusive fish.

Final Thoughts and Strategy Tips

With the Ashfall event being a limited-time opportunity, it’s essential to plan your fishing sessions and gear up accordingly. Here are some quick takeaways:

• Study the Bestiary: Know which fish require which bait and weather conditions to maximize your catch rate.
