Fisch is all about finding the biggest, rarest, and most mutated fish possible. For some, you’ll also have to dive into whirlpools and allow yourself to be sucked in. To learn where to find these whirlpools and more, here is our ultimate Vertigo guide for Fisch.
How to Enter Vertigo in Fisch
Vertigo is one of the secret locations in Fisch, and to enter it, you’ll have to dive into a Strange Whirlpool that spawns around the map (you’ll get a notification saying, “A strange whirlpool has opened…”). It’s almost always somewhere within The Ocean, between all the islands. You’ll recognize it by the vertical pillar of light going out of it and into the sky.
Note that there are also regular whirlpools spawning around the map, and jumping into those will just lead you to death. If you jump into one by accident, quickly leave the game and log back in to avoid money loss.
Synth – Vertigo Merchant in Fisch
Synth is the resident merchant NPC in Vertigo. He sells the Nocturnal Rod for C$11,000, which is one of the best mid-game rods in Fisch, and the Conception Conch, which is a one-time use item you can activate to get out of Vertigo and back to your spawn point. It’s always better to not buy them and instead leave and then rejoin the experience.
Nocturnal Rod Stats and How to Get It
- Price: C$11,000
- Lure Speed: -10%
- Luck: 70%
- Control: 0
- Resilience: 0%
- Max Kg: 2,000kg
- Passive: Can catch Nocturnal/Diurnal fish at any time.
Aurora Rod Stats and How to Get It
You can find the Aurora Rod (C$90,000) in Vertigo during an Aurora event. The event has become more common, and you can just server-hop until you find it. Also, you can use the Aurora Totem to trigger it yourself, though the totem costs C$500,000, bringing the total cost of the rod to C$590k, which isn’t really worth it. Here are the Aurora Rod’s stats:
- Price: C$90,000
- Lure Speed: 10%
- Luck: 60%
- Control: 0.06
- Resilience: 6%
- Max Kg: 6,000kg
- Passive: 15% Chance for caught fish to have the Aurora mutation (7.5x Value).
The Depths Entrance in Vertigo
You can find the door to The Depths in the red area next to the pond at the bottom of Vertigo. To open the door, you’ll need a key that you can fish out randomly while in Vertigo and 100% Vertigo bestiary completion. Talk with the NPC on the right to open the door once you’ve fulfilled the requirements.
Vertigo Abundance Spots and Bestiary
Once you jump down into the hole past the Synth NPC, you’ll reach the Vertigo’s Dip. It’s a pool of water where you can fish, and it contains two abundance spots (Spiderfish and Twilight Eeel) and a total of eight fish you can catch. One of them also requires a crab cage, so bring a few when you’re visiting this place. Here is a full list of fish you can catch in Vertigo:
Spiderfish | Common | Any | Any | Vertigo | 155, 740, 1205 |
Night Shrimp | Common | Clear | Any | Vertigo (Crab Cage) | / |
Twilight Eel | Uncommon | Any | Insect | Vertigo | 65, 735, 1205 |
Fangborn Gar | Unusual | Foggy | Fish Head | Vertigo | / |
Abyssacuda | Rare | Any | Minnow | Vertigo | / |
Voidfin Mahi | Rare | Clear, Windy | Truffle Worm | Vertigo | / |
Rubber Ducky | Legendary | Rain | Any | Vertigo | / |
Isonade | Mythic | Any | Truffle Worm | Strange Whirlpool (Outside Vertigo) | Strage Whirlpool |
How to Farm Carbon Crates in Vertigo
Farming Carbon Crates with a Magnet Rod is a fairly reliable way to farm money in Fisch until you get the Mythical Rod, and they seem to have an increased rate of spawning in Vertigo. So, equip a Magnet Rod with Magnet bait, and start fishing anywhere inside the pond at the bottom. Open everything you catch to get a bunch of cash and baits.
How to Enter the Secret Area in Vertigo
There is a secret area within Vertigo you can visit to get an exclusive title. To reach it, follow the ledge to the Synth NPC’s right side and jump to across the hole towards the end of the road. Then, follow the narrow passage until you reach another whirlpool. Jump in it to get “The Drowned” title.
Also, if you have a glider, which you can buy on Roselit Bay for C$900 (right beside the Albino Merchant), you can reach the side beyond the whirlpool and find the Perdido NPC. He doesn’t say much for now, but his dialogue indicates he might become useful sometime in the future.
