Where to Find the Magma Leviathan
The Volcanic Vents are situated deep within Mariana’s Veil, a region known for its extreme environmental conditions. Make sure you have built a submarine, and once that’s done, you need to descend until you find the fiery entrance. You can then head to the fishing spot with the help of your glider. Start by going into the cave and making your way ahead across the simple rock-based obby, ensuring you don’t touch or fall into the lava.
To increase your chances of encountering the Magma Leviathan, consider the following conditions:
- Time of Day: Daytime
- Weather: Foggy
- Season: Summer
- While these conditions are ideal, the Magma Leviathan can appear under different circumstances. Aligning your plans with these conditions may increase the likelihood of a successful catch, though.
Equipping yourself with the right gear is crucial:
- Bait: The Truffle Worm is mandatory for attracting the Magma Leviathan.
- Fishing Rod: A rod with high luck and good resilience is preferred so something like Heaven’s Rod with an enchantment may help. The ROTFF may also come in handy here.
- The Magma Leviathan has a catch rate of 0.78%, translating to approximately a 1 in 128 chance.
- Upon hooking, anglers experience a 90% reduction in reeling progress speed, which means a lot of patience and focus is needed. The fish’s unpredictable movements further complicate the reeling process, demanding high skill.
Stock lots of Truffle Worms before you embark on this grind. Given the low catch rate, a lot of attempts will almost be necessary.
You can also consider trading with other players for similarly valued fish but as always, be careful when you offer an item to a random player—they might just run off without offering anything in return.
The weight of the Magma Leviathan averages around 11000 kg, with a potential to exceed 18000 kg. In terms of value, it can get you around 17,000+ C$ for an average catch. This also grants 12,000 base XP, significantly boosting your progression.
