Normal: "It's believed that the Abyssal's incredible size and speed may be the result of exposure to radiation. Requires a mega hook to catch."

Extinct: "The Abyssal was the only known fish to require the use of a Mega Hook. It seems to be extinct."

Statistics[]

The Abyssal is a very large, green Huge fish with yellow fins and a giant red eye. Catching the Abyssal is required to unlock the Tech Boat.

Location[]

The Abyssal is found deep down on the eastern side of the map, above the irradiated waters of The Silo. Although it occurs at Depths level, it is very rare, and often will not show up at all even when scouring the area over the Silo.

Catching Guide[]

The Abyssal is the one of the three fish that require the use of the expensive Mega hook lure, which is unlocked once the player reaches level 40. Catching this rare fish requires patience and time, and it may be helpful to clear the water of Medium and Large fish using bombs. The Abyssal is also a very tricky catch in Realism mode, as it fights hard against the line.

You will need:

  • A Mega hook (which costs $50,000 so it is recommended to locate the Abyssal first).
  • Master Rod will make catching it easier in Realism mode.
  • Sinker rod upgrade, since it lives in the deep.
  • Lightbulb lure
  • Gauge and Improved Crank upgrades on Realism mode (at least three is ideal)

Trivia[]

Its eyes swivel to follow the hook, similarly to the Sodafish. Before the swimming hotfix update added the Magnalav and Shaku, the Abyssal was the only fish in the game to require use of the mega hook to catch.
