How to Catch Deepwater Stingray in Fisch

Catching the Deepwater Stingray in Fisch can feel tricky because it hides during the day and only comes out at night. If you don’t fish at the right place and time, you’ll never see it bite. Let me break down exactly what you need to do to land this unusual fish without wasting your bait or time.

Deepwater Stingray Stats

| Stat | Value |
|-------|------|-------|
| Resilience | 65 (Easy) |
| XP gained | 175 per catch |

| Weight range | 4.8kg (true minimum) to 74.6kg (true maximum) |

First things first, here’s the quick answer:

• Fish at night in the Sunken Reliquary, a deep ocean spot in the Desolate Deep area.
• Prefer clear weather during Autumn or Winter seasons for better chances.
• Use any bait you have; no special bait is required. Official sources do not list any preferred bait for the Deepwater Stingray, so it can be caught with any bait. While no special bait is required, using bait that boosts mutation or progress speed can help you catch the Deepwater Stingray more quickly.
• A Resourceful Rod with scrapper and angler’s glove enchantments helps save bait but isn’t mandatory.

Where and when to find the Deepwater Stingray

The Deepwater Stingray lives deep in the ocean, specifically in the Sunken Reliquary within the Desolate Deep. This spot is known for its silty abyssal plains where the stingray buries itself during the day. That means if you fish during daylight, you won’t catch it because it’s hiding under sediment.

You must fish at night when it becomes active and swims freely. The Deepwater Stingray buries itself in sediment during the day, making it impossible to catch then. It only becomes active and catchable at night. Clear weather is best because it improves your chances, but it’s not absolutely required. The seasons matter too : Autumn and Winter are the prime times to find this fish.

What bait and rod should you use?

Good news: the Deepwater Stingray doesn’t demand a special bait. You can use any bait you have on hand, and it will still bite. Official sources do not list any preferred bait for the Deepwater Stingray, so it can be caught with any bait. However, using bait that boosts mutation or progress speed can help you catch it faster.

For rods, no specific one is mandatory. But if you want to be efficient, grab a Resourceful Rod and enchant it with scrapper and angler’s glove. This combo can give you up to a 92% chance to not consume bait on each cast, which is a huge help since this fish can be rare and take some patience.
