The Lower Deep is one of the important fishing areas found inside The Deep in Fisch. Located close to the volcanic vents, this area is home to several dark and unusual fish that cannot be found in normal fishing spots. If you are trying to complete the Lower Deep Bestiary, you will need to prepare the right equipment and pay attention to bait, weather, time, and season. This guide covers how to reach the Lower Deep, what equipment you should bring, and the known fishing requirements for its creatures.
How to Reach Lower Deep in Fisch
You can reach the Lower Deep by diving toward the southern part of The Deep. From there, continue traveling until you reach the coordinates (1772, -2775, -11938). The area should be fairly easy to recognize once you get close. Look for the large volcanic vents and glowing openings around the bottom of the area. These features are the main signs that you have reached the Lower Deep.
Since the area is located deep underwater, make sure you are prepared before making the trip. Running out of the equipment or resources you need can make completing the Bestiary much more difficult.
How to Fish in the Lower Deep
Fishing in the Lower Deep works differently from many regular fishing locations in Fisch. You will need to rely heavily on Harpoon Guns to catch the creatures found throughout this part of The Deep.
Before heading into the area, it is a good idea to prepare some powerful Harpoon Guns. Some options you can use include:
- Frost Biter
- Relic Piercer
- Trident Striker
Having the right Harpoon Gun is important because several of the creatures in the Lower Deep can be difficult to obtain. Bringing suitable equipment before starting your Bestiary run will save you from having to repeatedly return to the surface or other areas.
How to Catch the Lower Deep Fish
The Lower Deep has a wide range of fish with different requirements. Some can be caught during the day, while others only appear at night. Weather and seasons also affect which creatures you can find. Below are the known Lower Deep Bestiary entries and their requirements:
- Bent Harpoon (Trash): Use Magnet bait. No specific weather, time, or season is required.
- Andaman Shortnose Chimaera (Common): Use Fish Head bait during Clear weather in the Day during Summer.
- Dark Snailfish (Common): Use Chitin Pellets during Foggy weather in the Day during Autumn.
- West Australian Lanternshark (Common): Use Chitin Pellets during Clear weather at Night during Winter.
- Black-mouth Beardfish (Uncommon): Use Trench Grubs during Clear weather in the Day during Autumn.
- Devil Scorpionfish (Uncommon): Use Trench Grubs during Clear weather at Night during Autumn.
- Pacific Footballfish (Uncommon): Use Squid bait during Rain at Night during Spring.
- Paresca Whinnose Anglerfish (Uncommon): Use Trench Grubs during Rain at Night during Summer.

- Banded Snailfish (Mythical): Use Luminous Flakes during Foggy weather at Night during Winter.
Based on the information provided, 18 entries are listed here, even though the Lower Deep Bestiary is described as having 22 fish. If the remaining four entries are added to the Bestiary in a future update or were omitted from the original list, their requirements would need to be checked separately.
Lower Deep Bestiary Tips
Completing the Lower Deep Bestiary is easier if you plan your fishing sessions around the requirements instead of randomly fishing and waiting for the correct conditions. Several fish require specific combinations of weather, time, and season, so you may need to return multiple times.
Pay close attention to bait as well. Trench Grubs, Luminous Flakes, Bio-Infused Coral, and other specialized bait are needed for several of the rarer catches. Preparing these items before entering The Deep can save you a lot of time.
It is also worth prioritizing the Legendary and Mythical fish when their conditions are active. For example, Icelus Hypselopterus requires Foggy weather at Night during Autumn, while Luminous Hake requires Clear weather at Night during Spring. Waiting for the correct conditions is much more effective than repeatedly fishing at the wrong time.
The Lower Deep is a challenging but useful fishing area for Fisch players who want to complete their Bestiary. Its volcanic surroundings make it easy to identify, while its collection of rare and unusual creatures gives you plenty of reasons to return.
Make sure you bring a strong Harpoon Gun such as Frost Biter, Relic Piercer, or Trident Striker, then prepare the correct bait before heading down. Since many fish depend on specific weather, time, and seasonal conditions, keeping track of those requirements will make your Bestiary hunt much easier.
The provided list currently contains 18 known Lower Deep entries rather than the stated 22, so four entries may still be missing from the available information.
