Fishing is an essential skill in Hypixel Skyblock, and with the addition of Trophy Fish, fishing enthusiasts have a new challenge to conquer. In this guide, we'll delve into the intricacies of Trophy Fish, explaining how to obtain them, their uses, some trivia, and their history.

Obtaining Trophy Fish

Found exclusively in the Crimson Isle's lava pools, Trophy Fish come in a whopping 18 types, each with four tiers - Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Diamond. The rarity increases from Bronze to Diamond. In total, there are 72 unique catches.

Although some Trophy Fish can be caught anywhere, most require specific conditions to be met. Their chances are determined by their rarity. For instance, if you aim to catch a Karate Fish, Lava Horse, and Blobfish, you'll first roll a 1% chance for the Karate Fish, followed by a 4% chance for the Lava Horse, and finally a 15% chance for the Blobfish. If unsuccessful in these rolls, the regular Fishing Loot takes over.

Equipment like the Hellfire Rod with Trophy Hunter VIII and the Gold Hunter Armor, especially when combined with a level 100 EPIC Kuudra Pet, can significantly enhance your Trophy Fish catch chances, granting up to an 83.74% increase.

Specific Requirements for Some Trophy Fish:

  • Sulphur Skitter: Close proximity (within 8 blocks) of a Sulphur Ore increases your chances to 30%.
  • Obfuscated Fish: The three tiers of Obfuscated Fish have varying requirements. Catching the first requires Corrupted Bait. Once you've caught it, use the Obfuscated 1 as bait for the second tier, and subsequently, use the Obfuscated 2 for the third tier.
  • Steaming-Hot Flounder: This one's tricky; you need your bobber to be within 2 blocks of a Geyser in the Blazing Volcano. The catch chance is 20%.
  • Blobfish and Lavahorse: These can be caught anywhere, with a 15% and 4% chance respectively.
  • Slugfish: Patience is key! Your bobber needs to remain active for at least 20 seconds.
  • Golden Fish: This elusive fish can spawn after 15 minutes of fishing. The chances increase linearly until they hit 100% at 20 minutes.

When you finally hook a Trophy Fish, it will first attempt to roll for the Diamond tier, followed by Gold, Silver, and Bronze.

The Charm Enchantment can elevate your chances, applying a multiplier for all rarities except Bronze. For instance, Charm V increases Diamond's 0.2% to 0.22%, Gold to 2.2%, and so forth.

Usage

Once you've got your hands on these Trophy Fish, it's time to reap the rewards! Collecting all Trophy Fish of a particular tier unlocks unique rewards claimable at Odger. Moreover, filleting Trophy Fish at Odger grants you varying amounts of Magmafish, contributing to your Magmafish Collection.

For example:

  • Sulphur Skitter: Grants 40 Magmafish for Bronze, 60 for Silver, 80 for Gold, and 120 for Diamond.
  • Obfuscated Fish 1: Yields 16 Magmafish for Bronze, 24 for Silver, 32 for Gold, and 48 for Diamond.

Trivia

  1. All zone-specific Trophy Fish are of EPIC rarity, excluding the Volcanic Stonefish which is RARE.
  2. Golden Fish is unique in that it can be caught with 100 SkyBlock Sea Creature Chance.
  3. The Golden Fish can persist for up to 4 minutes, provided the player interacts with it appropriately.

History

Trophy Fish were introduced to SkyBlock on April 20th, 2022, with various modifications made in subsequent patches. The most notable update was on January 11th, 2023, where the Slugfish's requirement was adjusted from 30 to 20 seconds.

In closing, Trophy Fish bring a fresh challenge to the world of Hypixel Skyblock fishing. With the right knowledge, equipment, and a pinch of luck, you're well on your way to mastering this skill and earning some remarkable rewards! Happy fishing!
