Statistics[]
The Dragon is a Huge fish, and the biggest fish in the game. It is considered one of the hardest fish to catch, and is tied for most valuable with the Sodafish. The Dragon dislikes sound waves, and so will avoid fishing lines that are using sonar. It will only eat eggs, specifically the eggs of the Mamo.
Location[]
The Dragon is found swimming in the Drop-Off. It can be seen on the sonar, however having the sonar turned on will cause it to flee to the east.
Catching Guide[]
The bare minimum required to catch a Dragon are a boat and a rod with at least two Diving Lure upgrades. Although theoretically possible without, it is recommend to equip the Master Rod as well as the Collier, to maximize speed and maneuverability. Further useful gear can include a Lightbulb (optimally paired with the Battery Pack hat to extend the bulb's time) and flick.
You will need:
- Rod upgrades: Diving Lure (at least two) and Sinker. Optionally Glitterbait. This is for both attracting the Dragon's attention and then outpacing it as you make your way down to the Mamo's den.
- Master Rod, for line length and maneuverability in the water.
- A Lightbulb, for navigating the cave.
- As many Gauge and Improved Crank upgrades as you have room for if playing on Realism Mode.
The Dragon must be hooked using the egg of the Mamo as bait. It does not require a huge hook or mega hook, only the egg. The Mamo's nest is located in a cave below the right side of the rock that separates the Coral Basin from the Silo (although the dragon likes to fiddle with his balls instead of going into the nest). Often, the Dragon can be found directly above this cave. Bear in mind that it will not appear if your sonar is turned on.
In order to get the Mamo's egg on your line, you will need to attract the attention of the Dragon by hovering a baited line near it. Glitterbait can help with this, as the Dragon is very fast. Once the Dragon is chasing your line, you will need to reach the Mamo's nest. Once at the nest, the Mamo will be intimidated by the Dragon and flee, allowing you to steal its egg. The egg can then be brought out of the cave and used to catch the Dragon.
