Are you ready to tackle one of the most challenging and rewarding catches in Fish It Roblox? The Viridis Lurker stands as one of the rarest Secret fish in the game, testing even the most experienced anglers with its brutal 1 in 1,400,000 catch rate. But don’t let those odds discourage you – with the right preparation, strategy, and persistence, you can add this magnificent green giant to your collection.

As someone who has spent countless hours hunting Secret fish in Fish It, I’ll walk you through everything you need to know about catching the Viridis Lurker.

Understanding the Viridis Lurker

The Viridis Lurker is one of the two Secret-rarity aquatics released in the latest Fish It update, alongside the Elpirate Gran Maja. This massive whale-like creature emits a distinctive neon blue-green light from its body, making it visually stunning when you finally reel one in.

What makes the Viridis Lurker particularly special is its absurdly long body – even the normal variant stretches to impressive lengths, while the Big Size version becomes a true flex item that will make other players stop and stare at Fisherman Island.

Compared to its counterpart, the Elpirate Gran Maja (which has a 1 in 4,000,000 catch rate), the Viridis Lurker is actually more accessible, making it the perfect first Secret fish for dedicated hunters looking to break into the endgame content.

Location: Finding the Sacred Temple

Before you even think about catching the Viridis Lurker, you need to unlock its exclusive habitat: the Sacred Temple. This mysterious green temple is hidden deep within the Ancient Jungle and serves as the only location where the Viridis Lurker can spawn.

How to Access Sacred Temple

Reach Level 200 – The Sacred Temple is locked behind a level requirement, so you’ll need to progress through the game first
Complete the Associated Quest – Look for the quest giver near the Ancient Jungle entrance
Navigate from the Pier – Start at the main pier and follow the path deep into the jungle
Look for the Green Temple – You can’t miss the distinctive green architecture

Sacred Temple Fishing Spots

The Sacred Temple features multiple fishing pools, and here’s the good news: the Viridis Lurker can be caught from any of them! However, some spots might be more efficient than others. I recommend finding a pool that’s easily accessible and comfortable for long grinding sessions.

Pro Tip: Don’t waste time switching between different pools in the Sacred Temple. The Viridis Lurker has equal spawn chances in all of them, so consistency is key.

Essential Equipment Setup

Catching a Secret fish requires more than just luck – you need the absolute best equipment to maximize your chances. Here’s the optimal setup:

Best Rods for Viridis Lurker

Rod	Luck Stat	Pros	Cons
Diamond Rod	Highest	Best overall stats, maximum luck	Long quest chain
Element Rod	Very High	Great for Secret hunting, stable	Requires progression
Ghostfinn Rod	High	Comfortable for long sessions	Lower than top tiers
Ares Rod	High	Practical choice, solid luck	Not endgame optimal

The Diamond Rod is unquestionably the best choice, obtained by completing the Diamond Researcher’s quest in the Mutation Cellar. However, if you’re not quite at endgame, the Element Rod serves as an excellent alternative that many Secret hunters prefer for its balance of power and accessibility.

Ultimate Bait Strategy

Primary Choice: Aetherion Bait

Drastically increases your Luck stat
Obtained from the Crystalline Secrets quest (Ghastly Pirate in Crystal Depths)
Quest-exclusive but worth the effort

Alternative: Singularity Bait

Easily purchasable from the Traveling Merchant
Not as powerful as Aetherion Bait but much more accessible
Good for practice runs or when you’re running low on Aetherion

Critical Enchantments

Enchantments can make or break your Secret hunting success. Here’s the priority order:

Secret Hunter Enchant (Essential)
- Applied via Evolved Enchant Stone
- Increases Secret fish catch chance by 140%
- Absolutely non-negotiable for serious hunting
Leprechaun II Enchant OR Perfection Enchant
- Leprechaun II: Boosts your Luck stat
- Perfection: Guarantees Perfect Casts
- Choose based on your playstyle
Luck-Boosting Bobbers
- Look for bobbers with Luck effects
- Every little bit helps with 1.4M odds

Maximizing Your Luck: The Complete Strategy

With the base setup covered, let’s dive into the advanced strategies that separate successful hunters from frustrated ones.

Stock up on bait before starting long sessions
Redeem codes regularly for free potions

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it typically take to catch a Viridis Lurker?

Based on community data, most successful hunters catch their first Viridis Lurker between 2,000-10,000 casts. However, this varies greatly depending on your Luck setup, events, and pure chance. Some players get lucky and catch one in under 100 casts, while others might need 50,000+ attempts.

Can I catch a Viridis Lurker without the Diamond Rod?

Yes, you can catch a Viridis Lurker with mid-tier rods like the Angler Rod or Ghostfinn Rod, but your chances will be significantly lower. The Diamond Rod’s superior Luck stats make it the optimal choice for serious Secret hunting.

Does server population affect Secret fish spawn rates?

While not officially confirmed, many experienced hunters report better results on less populated servers. The theory is that reduced server load leads to more consistent performance and potentially better spawn calculations.

Should I sell my Viridis Lurker or keep it?

This depends on your goals:

Keep it: If you’re building a collection or need it for quests
Sell it: If you need coins for better equipment or other investments
Big Size variants: Generally worth keeping as flex items

How do I know if I’m ready to hunt Viridis Lurker?

You’re ready when you have:

Access to Sacred Temple (Level 200+)
At least a high-tier rod (Ghostfinn or better)
Secret Hunter enchant
Adequate supply of Aetherion or Singularity bait
Patience for long grinding sessions

Can I catch multiple Viridis Lurkers?

Yes! After catching your first Viridis Lurker, you can continue catching more. Each catch has the same 1 in 1,400,000 chance, so the difficulty doesn’t decrease.

Final Thoughts

Catching the Viridis Lurker is more than just adding another fish to your collection – it’s a test of dedication, strategy, and perseverance. This journey will teach you everything about advanced Fish It mechanics and prepare you for even greater challenges.

Remember that every cast brings you closer to your goal, even when it doesn’t result in a catch. The skills you develop, the community connections you make, and the satisfaction of finally landing that green giant will make all the effort worthwhile.

Stay persistent, keep optimizing your setup, and don’t forget to enjoy the journey. The Viridis Lurker is out there waiting – now you have all the knowledge needed to catch it!
