If you’ve been grinding the waters of Fisch for a while, you know that the thrill of the hunt is what keeps us coming back. But recently, the community has been buzzing about one specific catch that has eluded even the most veteran anglers: the Omnithal. I’ve spent days scouring the depths, server-hopping, and testing every rod in my inventory to bring you the most comprehensive guide possible for March 2026.

This isn’t just another fish; it’s a statement piece. Whether you’re looking to fill out your Bestiary, flex on your friends in Discord, or just want that massive cash payout, the Omnithal is the prize you need. However, finding it isn’t as simple as casting a line from the dock of Moosewood. You need preparation, patience, and the right strategy.

Below is a quick overview of everything we will cover, so you can jump to the specific section you need.

What is the Omnithal?

Before we dive into the how, let’s talk about the what. The Omnithal is one of the newest additions to the Fisch universe, introduced in the recent update that expanded the deeper oceanic biomes. It is classified as a Mythical fish, which puts it in the same tier as the Ancient Kraken and the Megalodon, but with a twist.

Unlike standard fish that rely purely on luck, the Omnithal is part of a dynamic “Hunt Event.” This means you can’t just grind for it passively. You have to actively trigger the conditions for it to appear. It is known for its distinct, ghostly aesthetic—usually translucent with glowing rune-like markings on its scales. In terms of gameplay, catching one is a test of your ability to manage tension on your fishing line, as it has erratic movement patterns and high resilience.

Prerequisites: What You Need Before You Start?

I made the mistake of trying to hunt the Omnithal with a basic Carbon Rod and standard bait. Let me tell you: it didn’t end well. The fish snapped my line in seconds. To save you the frustration and wasted bait, here is exactly what you need to pack before you leave Moosewood.

1. The Right Rod

This is non-negotiable. You need a rod with high Luck stats and high Control stats.

Top Pick: The Rod of the Depths. This is currently the meta rod for deep-sea fishing in 2026. It offers the best balance of luck and resilience control.
Alternative: The Mythical Rod. If you haven’t unlocked the Depths rod yet, this is your next best option.
Budget Option: The Kings Rod. It’s decent, but I wouldn’t recommend it for the Omnithal unless your luck is naturally incredible.

2. The Best Bait

Because the Omnithal is a Mythical-tier catch, it won’t bite on just anything.

Truffle Worm: This is generally the best bait for high-tier fish. It significantly increases the chance of rarer bites.
Strange Bait: A solid alternative that can help trigger specific mutation events.
Lucky Bait: If you are struggling to get the bite to trigger, use this for the increased luck percentage.

3. Boat Upgrades

You aren’t catching this fish near the shore. You need a boat that can handle rough waters and get you to the coordinate quickly.

I recommend the Marlin or any boat with decent speed. You’ll likely be server-hopping (more on that later), so travel time matters.

Omnithal Location: Where to Find It?

Here is the secret that many guides miss: the Omnithal does not have a single fixed spawn point. Instead, it spawns within a specific deep-water “zone.” Based on my research and the data aggregated from the top community hubs, here is where you need to be.

The Coordinates

While exact coordinates can drift slightly, you want to aim for the deep trench areas.

Primary Zone: The waters directly north of the Ancient Isle.
Secondary Zone: The deep drop-off at the edge of the Sunken Passage.

Setting Up Your Position

Spawn at Ancient Isle.
Take your boat and head directly North until your depth meter reads “Deep” or “Abyssal.”
Look for visual cues: dark blue water, floating particles, or a slight fog in the distance.

Pro Tip: Do not fish from the land of the Ancient Isle. You must be on your boat in the deep water tile for the game to register the correct spawn table for the Hunt Event.

The Omnithal Hunt Event: How It Works?

This is the most critical part of the guide. The Omnithal is governed by a Hunt Event. You cannot catch it outside of this active window.

1. Triggering the Event

The Hunt Event has a chance to trigger automatically in a server, but you can influence it. The event is tied to the in-game weather and time system.

Time: It must be Night. (Approx. 19:00 – 05:00 in-game time).
Weather: The odds increase significantly during Fog or Rain.
The Signal: When the event starts, you will see a server-wide notification (similar to the Tempest event) saying: “A strange presence has been detected in the deep waters…”

2. The Server Hop Strategy

If you enter a server and it’s daytime, or the weather is clear, do not wait around. It is faster to leave and join a new server.

Join a server.
Check the time/weather immediately.
If it’s Night + Foggy/Rainy, rush to the location mentioned above.
Cast your line with Truffle Worm.

3. During the Event

Once the notification appears, you have a limited time window (usually around 15-20 in-game minutes) to locate and catch the fish. During this time, the bite rate for the Omnithal is drastically increased, but so is the bite rate for other aggressive deep-sea creatures like sharks.

How to Catch the Omnithal: Step-by-Step Process

Okay, you have your Rod of the Depths, your Truffle Worms, and you are in a server with the Hunt Event active. Now what? Follow these exact steps I used to secure my first catch.

Step 1: Positioning

Park your boat in the “Deep” zone coordinates. Make sure your boat is facing the open water. You want as much clear space behind you as possible because the fish will pull you.

Step 2: The Cast

Equip your Truffle Worm. Cast your line out as far as possible (hold right-click/hold cast button until the bar is full). This ensures your bait lands in the deepest part of the water tile.

Step 3: Waiting for the Bite

This is the test of patience. You might get bites from other fish (Great Whites, Giant Squids). If it’s not the Omnithal, reel them in quickly or cut the line (if you have enough bait) to reset the bobber.

Visual Cue: The Omnithal usually has a distinct, purple/glowing ripple effect when it bites.
Audio Cue: A low, resonant thrumming sound rather than the standard splash.

Step 4: The Mini-Game (Crucial)

Once you hook it, the real challenge begins. The Omnithal has erratic movement.

Phase 1 (The Drag): It will swim straight down. Do not reel. Let it run. If you reel while it’s swimming away aggressively, your line tension will hit 100% and snap immediately.
Phase 2 (The Twitch): It will stop and twitch left and right. This is your window. Reel in short bursts. Tap, tap, tap.
Phase 3 (The Frenzy): When the bar turns red/orange, stop reeling completely. Just keep your mouse/finger steady to keep the bar inside the fish box.

Strategy: Don’t be greedy. It is better to lose a little progress than to snap the line. I lost three Omnithals by being too aggressive in the final 10% of the bar.

Advanced Pro Strategies for 2026

If the basic method isn’t working for you, or if the RNG feels unfair, try these advanced tactics that the top players on the leaderboards use.

1. Enchantments

Do you have an enchantment totem? Use the Abyssal or Divine enchantment on your rod before the hunt.

Abyssal increases luck specifically in deep waters.
Divine gives a general blanket buff to luck and control.
This small change can be the difference between a 5% catch rate and a 12% catch rate.

2. The “No-Clip” Spot

There is a specific rock formation near the Ancient Isle where players position their boats to minimize the movement of the fish during the mini-game. If you can get the fish stuck against the geometry of a rock, it can’t swim away, making the mini-game trivial. Look for the tall, spindly rock archway in the deep zone and park just behind it.

3. Farming with Friends

The Hunt Event does not scale with the number of players, but Luck does. The Fisch mechanic gives a slight luck bonus for fishing with other players nearby. Get a party of 2-4 friends, all head to the same server, and fish in a cluster. I noticed my bite rate for mythicals nearly doubled when doing this.

Is It Worth It? Value and Rewards

So, you’ve put in the hours, bought the bait, and maybe snapped a few expensive rods. Is the Omnithal actually worth the effort in March 2026?

Monetary Value

Base value for the Omnithal is around C$ 45,000 – 60,000, depending on its size and mutation status.

With Excellent Angler Perk: This can push up to C$ 75,000+.
Comparison: This makes it one of the most profitable raw fish in the game, outperforming the Megalodon in terms of time vs. reward, provided the Hunt Event is active.

Trophy Value

The Omnithal looks incredible. If you are a collector, this is a must-have for your trophy room (once the housing update allows for larger trophy displays). It has one of the most detailed 3D models in the game currently.

Experience

Catching it grants a massive amount of XP. If you are level 40-60, this is actually the fastest way to grind levels, assuming you can consistently find the event.

Common Mistakes to Avoid In 2026

I’ve interviewed dozens of players who failed this hunt, and they all made the same mistakes. Avoid these to save your sanity.

Fishing during the Day: I cannot stress this enough. The spawn rate for Omnithal during the day is effectively zero. Do not waste your Truffle Worms.
Using the Wrong Rod: Do not use the “Sturdy Rod” or “Plastic Rod” thinking “it has high resilience so it’s good.” That resilience comes at the cost of luck. You need the luck to find the fish first.
Ignoring the Weather: Clear skies = No Hunt Event. If it clears up, server hop immediately.
Reeling on Red: If the tension bar is red, let go of the mouse button. Just let it hover. The game physics punish you for holding the button during high tension.

Troubleshooting: The Hunt Won’t Trigger

If you’ve been server hopping for 30 minutes and haven’t seen the “Strange Presence” notification, here is what you need to check:

Update Check: Ensure your game is fully updated. Sometimes bugs prevent events from triggering right after a patch.
Server Capacity: Try to join full servers (20/20 players). Events often have a higher trigger chance in high-population servers because the game simulates more “activity.”
Date Sensitivity: Some events in Fisch are tied to real-world calendar dates or weekends. Check the official Discord to see if the Omnithal event is currently active in the rotation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if I lose the Omnithal during the mini-game?

Unfortunately, you lose the fish and the bait you used. However, the Hunt Event timer will still be ticking for the rest of the server. You can immediately recast and try again without waiting for a new event, provided there is still time left on the clock.

Can I catch the Omnithal on a private server?

Generally, no. Hunt Events and Mythical spawns are often disabled or have drastically reduced rates in private (VIP) servers to encourage players to play in public servers. You need to hop into public lobbies for this one.

Does boat size matter?

Not for the catch rate itself, but a larger boat is more stable. If you are using a small kayak, the bobber movement can be jittery, making it harder to spot the specific Omnithal bite. A larger boat provides a smoother fishing experience.

What is the best mutation for Omnithal?

The Abyssal mutation is the most visually striking and adds the most value. However, the Dynamo mutation is also highly sought after because it makes the fish significantly heavier.

I keep catching Great Whites instead. Why?

Great Whites share the same deep-water biome. They are essentially the “trash” mob of the Omnithal hunt. If you are catching them, it means you are in the right location, but your luck might not be high enough, or the Hunt Event notification hasn’t actually popped yet (you might just be in a rainy period without the active event).

Conclusion

The Omnithal is one of the most engaging additions to Fisch in 2026. It forces players to master the game’s mechanics—not just the fishing mini-game, but also the understanding of time, weather, and server logistics. It took me three days of grinding to finally land my first one, and the adrenaline rush when that purple glow hit my screen was worth every wasted Truffle Worm.

Remember, preparation is key. Don’t go out there with a basic rod and expectations of a quick win. Gear up, wait for the fog, and respect the line tension.

Good luck, anglers! I’ll see you on the leaderboards.
