Before catch: "Though once thought no more than myth, this marvelous beast indeed exists. Swimming with large bait attracts it."

After catch: "Though once thought to be a myth, it seems its eventual discovery was only a matter of time."

Extinct: "Did you really think this would work? I already told you, it's a myth. Nothing more than a myth, I'm sure."

New description: "For a moment, cat stopped and pondered the implications of time travel. The Magnalav will appear above the Silo for 2 hours on 17.08.2022 at 3:12:22 UTC!"

Statistics[]

The Magnalav is a Huge fish with a lumpy purple body and rounded fins. Originally added as part of the 2019 Halloween update in a buggy state, it was removed and later added back in with the August 2022 update. In the 2023 Ancient Ancestors update, its approach conditions were changed, and it became easier to attract.

Location[]

The Magnalav can be found past the Drop-Off, sitting in the deepest parts of the Distant Ocean beyond the Silo. It will appear on the player's Sonar if they remain still for some time. However, it will quickly disappear if the player makes any movements.

Catching Guide[]

The Magnalav's behavior is complex and very involved. There are 2 proven ways of catching the Magnalav as of now.

You need to idle for a while and wait for it to appear on your Sonar. This can be accomplished at any part of the map. Once it appears, you should lightly tap your movement, ensuring that it is not too much that it goes into the depths, until you arrive back at the shore. Once back at the shore, you must un-equip the boat. The Magnalav will not swim away if you throw your bait. You will need a mega hook and a large bait. You should also unequip Sinker, as the Magnalav approaches very slowly towards bait. Once hooked, it is unable to break your line, so you should fully pull the line, so the Magnalav doesn't swim deeper and catch on rocks.

The "intended" second method involves changing your time, which allows catching the Magnalav on your boat. Change it to the 31st of October, 2019 at 19:15, and go to The Silo. The Magnalav will shoot up from the ground and follow your boat. Repel is needed for Bloopers and Old Cuspers, and the player cannot have the Sinker equipped. Then cast your bait down. The Magnalav will slowly come towards your bait as long as you do not flick, move, or reel in. Once it gets sufficiently close, change your time back to the present, and it will hook.
