How to catch it
- Hold a steel or endurium fishing rod.
- Set a Spirit Wager that counts as 100 or more in Water. The tide counts.
- Cast into deep water in the Tundra.
The chance is 1.5% a cast with a wager of 100 to 149, 2.5% with 150 to 199, and 4% at 200. Each such cast there that doesn't bring it up adds 0.5%, until you catch it. There is no set time of day. See Legendary Fish.
The fight
Three ice floes drift in as it bites. When it runs, it heads for a floe and hides under it; these runs last at least 2 to 3 seconds. Under the ice, a yank hauls nothing back and only strains the line, and reeling saws the line on the ice. Do nothing while it hides, so the strain drains. When it darts out into open water toward you, flashing teal and violet, reel.
Like every legendary fish, it is as heavy as the heaviest catches, runs after 65% of its wiggles and strains the line 60% faster than a common fish.
Uses
