How to Catch the Mythical Nuke in Fisch: Locations, Tips, and Equipment

Last Updated on 8 December, 2024

When the Forsaken Shores expansion came out, the Nuke in Fisch became one of the hardest to find and most-wanted things.

Although this legendary catch is very rare, it is very rewarding. However, even the best players find it hard to catch.

This article tells you everything you need to know to find, catch, and use a Nuke in Fisch to get the most out of the game.

What Is the Nuke in Fisch?

The Nuke is an item of the Mythical level that can do amazing things. It can appear with any species, unlike other fish, and you might not know you’ve caught it until you play its special minigame for balance.

If the Nuke is caught, it can be saved for later use, or it can go off right away if it fails, causing a nuclear mutant event that makes the fish around it more valuable.

How to Catch a Nuke in Fisch

You need to be well-trained and ready to catch the nuke. Do these things to improve your chances:

Maximize Luck: Equip rods, bait, and enchantments with high luck bonuses. The odds of encountering the Nuke are extremely low without luck enhancements.
Use Proper Equipment: Choose rods with high control and resilience to manage the balancing minigame effectively.
Balancing Minigame: Once the Nuke is hooked, use the Q and E keys to keep the arrow in the green zone. Success stores the Nuke in your inventory; failure results in immediate detonation.
Repeat If Needed: Each time you retrieve a stored Nuke from your inventory, you must complete the minigame again before detonation.

How to Use the Nuke for Maximum Fish Value in Fisch

When the Nuke goes off, it starts a 30-minute nuclear mutation event. All fish caught in the event zone get a Nuclear mutation during this time, which makes them worth four times as much.

Steps to Use the Nuke in Fisch:

Locate the Event Zone: Use a Fish Radar, purchasable at Moosewood docks for 8,000C$. This device highlights the event area with a green outline and displays the remaining event time.
Optimize Weather: Combine the Nuke detonation with the Aurora Borealis weather event to boost the rarity and value of fish caught.
Maximize Fishing: Equip rods and bait designed for high-value catches to take full advantage of the event.
