King Anglerfish Abyss Guide (March 2026) Location, Fast Spawn Methods & Catch Strategy

King Anglerfish Abyss Guide

The King Anglerfish is the most profitable and sought-after Mythical creature in Roblox Abyss, making it a top priority for endgame players looking to maximize their cash earnings. Unlike regular fish that you catch with your harpoon gun, the King Anglerfish is a boss creature that must be defeated in combat, with the top 3 damage dealers receiving guaranteed drops. What makes this creature exceptionally valuable is its King Anglerfish Head drop, which can sell for over $17,000 for larger specimens – significantly more profitable than farming Whales or other Legendary creatures.

The key to efficiently farming King Anglerfish lies in understanding its spawn mechanics and using server hopping strategies rather than waiting for natural respawns. Many players waste hours camping in a single server, but I’ve discovered that actively switching servers can net you 5-10 King encounters in the same time it would take to see 1-2 natural spawns. In this comprehensive guide, I’ll share everything you need to know about finding, fighting, and profiting from this Mythical boss.

Where is the King Anglerfish Located in Abyss?

The King Anglerfish exclusively spawns inside the Angler Cave, a hidden endgame area that most players can’t access until they’ve progressed significantly through the main questline. This isn’t a location you can simply swim to – it requires completing specific prerequisites first.

Unlocking Angler Cave Access

Before you can even attempt to hunt the King Anglerfish, you must complete the Lost Captain questline. This extensive quest chain begins in the Ocean biome, where you’ll find the Lost Captain NPC located far east of the Kraken in the Forgotten Deep area. The questline involves multiple stages of exploration, item collection, and NPC interactions.

Upon completing the Lost Captain’s final quest, you’ll receive the Angler Cave Key – a unique item that grants you permanent access to this exclusive area. The entrance to Angler Cave is located in the Ocean biome, marked by a massive sealed door that can only be opened with this key. Once unlocked, you can return to the Angler Cave freely without needing to repeat the questline.

Inside the Angler Cave Environment

The Angler Cave is dramatically different from other biomes in Abyss. This relatively small, enclosed area features:

  • Dark, claustrophobic tunnels with limited visibility
  • Multiple chambers connected by narrow passageways
  • Sea mines scattered throughout that deal approximately 300 damage per hit
  • Aggressive regular fish including piranhas, standard anglerfish, and blobfish
  • Deep water sections requiring at least 300m+ depth-rated tubes
  • The Lightkeeper NPC who offers unique questlines

The King Anglerfish specifically spawns in the deepest and widest chambers of the cave system. These larger open areas provide enough space for the boss to spawn and move around during combat. When searching for the King, always prioritize checking the lower sections first – swimming to the surface chambers is usually a waste of oxygen.

Visual Identification Tips

Distinguishing the King Anglerfish from regular anglerfish is crucial for efficient farming:

Regular Hostile Creatures:

  • Display a red diamond marker above their head
  • Smaller body size (standard fish proportions)
  • Standard anglerfish appearance

King Anglerfish (Boss):

  • Shows a distinct purple diamond marker above its head
  • Significantly larger body size (2-3x regular anglerfish)
  • More elaborate appearance with enhanced features
  • May have visible mutations that change coloration

The purple diamond is your immediate visual confirmation that you’ve found the boss spawn. If you only see red diamonds, you’re looking at regular aggressive fish and should either clear the server or hop to a new one.

Navigating the Hazardous Environment

The Angler Cave presents unique dangers that make it more challenging than other fishing locations:

Sea Mines: These underwater explosives are your biggest threat aside from the boss itself. A single mine deals 300 damage, which can instantly kill you if you’re not at full oxygen. The mines are stationary but can be difficult to spot in the dark environment. I recommend bringing the Ruined Lantern artifact or using races with enhanced visibility to spot mines before swimming into them.

Oxygen Management: The cave’s depth and enclosed nature mean oxygen depletion happens faster than in open biomes. Always carry multiple oxygen pods in your inventory (I recommend at least 10-15 for extended farming sessions). The Ruined Tube with its 380 oxygen capacity is essential for surviving long enough to defeat the King and safely extract.

Loading Screen Vulnerability: Here’s something many players don’t realize – when you join a new server through server hopping, there’s a brief moment during the loading screen where you’re vulnerable to damage. If aggressive creatures are near your spawn point in Angler Cave, they can attack you before your screen fully loads. I’ve lost oxygen and even died during server transitions because of this. Always check your oxygen immediately after loading in, and be ready to pop an oxygen pod if needed.

How to Spawn King Anglerfish Faster (Server Hopping Method)

The biggest mistake I see players making is sitting in one server waiting for the King Anglerfish to spawn naturally. While the boss does respawn eventually, the spawn timer is long enough that this approach is extremely inefficient. Instead, experienced farmers use the server hopping technique to dramatically increase their King Anglerfish encounters per hour.

Understanding Natural Spawn Mechanics

Based on community data and my own testing, the King Anglerfish operates on a spawn timer similar to other boss creatures in Abyss:

  • Spawn Location: Fixed spawn points in the deepest Angler Cave chambers
  • Spawn Rate: Approximately one spawn every 15-30 minutes per server (estimated)
  • Spawn Conditions: No special time/weather requirements
  • Server Population: Spawn rate doesn’t appear affected by player count

The key insight here is that each server has its own independent spawn timer. When you join a fresh server, the spawn timer might already be near completion, or a King might already be present. This is why server hopping is so effective – you’re essentially checking multiple spawn timers simultaneously rather than waiting for just one.

Step-by-Step Server Hopping Guide

Here’s my proven method for maximizing King Anglerfish encounters:

Step 1: Initial Setup

  • Ensure you’re in the Angler Cave with the Ruined Tube equipped (380 oxygen)
  • Carry 15-20 oxygen pods in inventory
  • Equip the Ruined Harpoon or your highest damage gun
  • Bring healing artifacts if available (Sea Star, Holy Flower)

Step 2: Quick Cave Check

  • Immediately upon spawning, swim directly to the deepest chamber
  • This is where the King spawns most frequently
  • Scan for the purple diamond marker
  • Time limit: 30-45 seconds maximum for the check

Step 3: Decision Point

  • If King is present: Engage in combat (see fighting section below)
  • If no King visible: Proceed immediately to Step 4
  • Don’t waste time: Clearing regular fish or exploring isn’t worth the oxygen

Step 4: Server Exit

  • Leave the current server through the Roblox menu
  • Select “Servers” to view available servers
  • Choose any server with decent ping (under 200ms recommended)
  • Join the new server

Step 5: Repeat Cycle

  • You’ll spawn back in Angler Cave in the new server
  • Check oxygen immediately (loading screen damage check)
  • Repeat Steps 2-4

Optimization Tips for Maximum Efficiency

Average Success Rate: Using this method, I’ve found the King Anglerfish spawns in approximately 1 out of every 2-3 servers. This means you can encounter 5-10 Kings per hour of active farming, compared to maybe 2-4 per hour just camping one server.

Peak Hours Strategy: During high player population times (evenings/weekends), more servers are active, which means more potential spawn locations to check. I’ve found Friday-Sunday evenings to be the most productive farming windows.

Oxygen Management: Each server hop cycle consumes roughly 100-150 oxygen including the swim to check and the exit. With the Ruined Tube’s 380 capacity, you can comfortably complete 2-3 server checks before needing to use an oxygen pod. Plan your pod usage to maintain 50%+ oxygen at all times.

Ignore Regular Fish: This is crucial – don’t get distracted catching regular anglerfish, piranhas, or blobfish during server hops. Your goal is King encounters only. Regular fish farming can be done in safer, more accessible biomes with better catch rates.

Server Selection: Prefer servers with 5-15 players rather than completely empty or totally full servers. Empty servers sometimes have spawn issues, while full servers might have the King already killed by other players. Mid-population servers give you the best chance of finding an available King spawn.

When to Stay in a Server

There are specific situations where camping a single server becomes worthwhile:

  1. Just Killed a King: If you just defeated a King, the respawn timer has reset. Waiting 15-20 minutes for the next spawn might be worth it if you need a break or want to farm regular fish.
  2. Multiple Players Farming: If you find a server with 2-3 other players actively King hunting, you can form an impromptu farming group. Multiple players make kills faster, and everyone in the top 3 damage dealers gets drops.
  3. Premium Server Access: If you have access to a private/premium server, the spawn timer is your timer alone. You can establish a predictable farming rotation.
  4. Mutation Spawn: If you encounter a King with a high-value mutation (Gold, Abyssal, etc.), the increased value might justify staying to see if the next spawn also has mutations. This is rare but can be extremely profitable.

Fighting the King Anglerfish Safely

Successfully defeating the King Anglerfish requires more than just finding it – you need proper combat technique, gear optimization, and hazard awareness. This boss hits hard and has significant HP, making it one of the toughest encounters in Abyss.

Combat Difficulty and HP Scaling

The King Anglerfish isn’t a standard fish catch – it’s a full boss fight. Its HP varies dramatically based on its size:

  • Small King Anglerfish: ~5,000 HP
  • Medium King Anglerfish: ~8,000-11,000 HP
  • Large King Anglerfish: ~13,000-16,000 HP

Larger Kings take significantly longer to defeat but also drop larger, more valuable body parts. The King Anglerfish Head from a max-size King can sell for over $17,000, compared to $15,000-16,000 for smaller variants. This makes large Kings worth the extra effort despite the longer time investment.

Essential Combat Gear Setup

Your equipment can make the difference between a successful kill and a costly death. Here’s my recommended loadout:

Primary Weapon:

  • Ruined Harpoon (Best overall DPS and control for King fighting)
  • Alternative: Magroot Gun or Lost Spirit Gun if you haven’t unlocked Ruined

Tube Selection:

  • Ruined Tube (380 oxygen, 650m depth, 32m/s speed) – Absolutely essential
  • Alternative: Lost Spirit Tube minimum (310 oxygen, 500m depth)
  • Any tube lower than Lost Spirit makes the fight extremely risky

Critical Artifacts:

  1. Offensive Artifacts (Priority 1):
    • Infernal Eye (Damage boost)
    • Hour Glass or Demonic Hour Glass (Cooldown reduction for faster shots)
    • Rune of Might (Additional damage scaling)
  2. Defensive Artifacts (Priority 2):
    • Tank (Damage reduction from King attacks)
    • Holy Flower (Healing over time during combat)
    • Crab Claw (Additional defense)
  3. Utility Artifacts (Priority 3):
    • Ruined Lantern (Better visibility for avoiding mines)
    • Feather (Movement speed for dodging)

Consumables:

  • 15-20 Oxygen Pods minimum
  • Speed Potions (if available) for enhanced dodging
  • Damage boost potions from events

Combat Strategy Breakdown

Phase 1: Initial Engagement (100% – 70% HP)

When you first spot the purple diamond, take 5-10 seconds to survey the battlefield before engaging. Check for:

  • Nearby sea mines that could complicate the fight
  • Other aggressive fish that might attack during combat
  • Your current oxygen level (should be 75%+ before starting)
  • Escape routes in case you need to disengage

Position yourself at medium range – close enough that your shots connect reliably, but far enough that you have reaction time for the King’s attacks. The King Anglerfish uses a lunge attack where it rapidly closes distance and bites. This attack deals significant damage (80-150 depending on your defensive artifacts).

Begin firing consistently with your harpoon gun. With the Ruined Harpoon and cooldown artifacts, you should achieve roughly 1 shot every 1-1.5 seconds. Maintain constant DPS while watching the King’s animation patterns.

Phase 2: Aggressive Phase (70% – 30% HP)

Once the King drops below 70% HP, it becomes noticeably more aggressive. Attack frequency increases, and it may chain multiple lunges together. This is the most dangerous phase for oxygen management because you’re forced into more defensive movement.

Key tactics for this phase:

  • Start using your speed and feather artifact advantages – strafe side to side between shots
  • Don’t tunnel vision on DPS – survival is more important than kill speed
  • If oxygen drops below 40%, pop an oxygen pod immediately (don’t wait until emergency levels)
  • Create distance if the King lands multiple hits in succession

This is also when other aggressive fish become problematic. Regular anglerfish and piranhas drawn by the commotion can attack from your blind spots. Do quick 360-degree camera scans every 10-15 seconds to spot incoming threats.

Phase 3: Final Phase (30% – 0% HP)

The King becomes more predictable but also more dangerous per hit in this phase. Attacks may deal increased damage as its health gets critical, so defensive play becomes paramount.

Focus on:

  • Maintaining maximum possible distance while still landing shots
  • Using the environment – position yourself near cave walls or corridors where the King can’t easily surround you
  • Watching for the death animation – once the King is defeated, its body will float and become lootable

Critical Mistake to Avoid: Don’t rush forward to loot immediately after the kill. Take 5 seconds to scan for sea mines between you and the corpse. I’ve died to mines while collecting loot more times than I’d like to admit, wasting the entire kill.

Hazard Management During Combat

Sea Mines: The biggest non-boss threat in Angler Cave is accidentally swimming into sea mines during combat. The King’s attacks force you to move erratically, which increases mine collision risk. Always maintain spatial awareness of mine locations before engaging.

If you’re forced near a mine:

  • Use short, controlled movements rather than panic dashing
  • Vertical movement (up/down) is often safer than horizontal when near mines
  • Accept taking a King hit rather than swimming into a mine – King hits are recoverable, mine explosions can be fatal

Loading Screen Damage: This is a unique hazard for server hoppers. When you load into a new server, aggressive creatures can damage you during the loading screen before you gain control. I’ve loaded in to find my oxygen at 60% because piranhas attacked during the load.

Always check your oxygen bar immediately upon loading. If it’s below 80%, use an oxygen pod before attempting any King fight. Starting a boss battle with depleted oxygen is asking for failure.

Multiple Threats: During King fights, regular aggressive fish will attack opportunistically. Don’t waste ammo on them – focus fire on the King exclusively. The DPS race matters for getting top 3, and every shot diverted to regular fish is lost boss damage.

Only engage regular fish if:

  • They’re blocking your retreat path
  • You’re at critical oxygen and need to create space
  • The King is temporarily out of range

Solo vs Group Farming

Solo King Farming:

  • You need to deal enough damage to rank in top 3 (if others are present)
  • Fight duration: 2-4 minutes depending on your DPS
  • Oxygen consumption: 150-250 per fight
  • Full control over loot timing and server choice

Group King Farming:

  • 2-3 players significantly reduces kill time
  • Top 3 damage dealers all receive drops (everyone can win)
  • Coordinate focus fire to optimize DPS
  • Share oxygen pod resources if someone runs low
  • Can handle larger Kings more safely

I personally prefer solo farming for the server hopping method because it gives you complete control over timing and server selection. However, if you find 1-2 other skilled farmers in a server, staying to group farm that server’s spawns can be highly efficient.

Post-Combat Looting

After defeating the King Anglerfish, the drop system works as follows:

Guaranteed Drops (Top 3 Damage Dealers):

  • King Anglerfish Meat (Mythical rarity) – Always drops
  • Amount varies by King size

Rare Drops (15% Chance, Top 3 Only):

  • King Anglerfish Head – Significantly more valuable than meat
  • Only the top 3 damage dealers have this drop chance
  • If you solo kill, you get all 3 chances at the 15% drop

Loot Collection:

  1. Wait for the death animation to complete
  2. Scan for sea mines between you and the corpse
  3. Swim to the corpse and press ‘E’ to collect items
  4. Items go directly to your inventory
  5. Exit the cave to sell to the Kraken or continue server hopping

Mutation Drops: King Anglerfish drops can spawn with the same mutation system as caught fish. A King Head with a Gold mutation (2x) sells for $30,000-34,000 instead of $15,000-17,000. An Abyssal mutation (8.5x) King Head would sell for over $100,000, making it one of the single most valuable items in the game.

Best Gear for Farming King Anglerfish

Your equipment loadout directly impacts your success rate, kill speed, and profit per hour when farming King Anglerfish. Here’s my complete optimization guide for each equipment slot.

Tube Progression and Requirements

Minimum Requirement:

  • Lost Spirit Tube – 310 oxygen, 500m depth rating, 22m/s speed
  • Cost: Obtained through Spirit Roots questline progression (Isaac’s quests)
  • Why it’s minimum: Angler Cave’s depth requires 300m+ rating, and 310 oxygen is barely enough for one King fight plus travel time

Recommended Standard:

  • Ruined Tube – 380 oxygen, 650m depth rating, 32m/s speed
  • Location: Purchased in Angler Cave from the Lightkeeper NPC
  • Cost: High-end price (requires significant gold investment)
  • Why it’s optimal: The extra 70 oxygen over Lost Spirit Tube means you can complete a full King fight plus emergency reserves. The 32m/s speed also helps dodge attacks and navigate between chambers faster.

Alternative Options:

  • Plane Tube – Good speed (35m/s) but lower oxygen (245)
  • Rukiry Tube – 330 oxygen, 550m depth, good middle ground option
  • Bath Tube – Fun option but not optimal for combat scenarios

The Ruined Tube is non-negotiable for serious King farming. The oxygen difference between Lost Spirit and Ruined is the difference between comfortable farming and constantly being in oxygen debt. Save up for the Ruined Tube before attempting extended King farming sessions.

Harpoon Gun Selection

Optimal Choice:

  • Ruined Harpoon Gun
  • Damage: Highest tier available in Angler Cave area
  • Cooldown: Fast enough for sustained DPS
  • Control: Large green zone makes fishing minigame easier
  • Location: Lightkeeper NPC in Angler Cave
  • Cost: Expensive but essential investment

Alternative Weapons (If Ruined Not Available):

  1. Magroot Gun – Obtained through Lumi’s questline in Spirit Roots
    • Solid damage output
    • Acceptable cooldown
    • Budget-friendly option
  2. Lost Spirit Gun – Obtained through Isaac’s quests
    • Better than mid-tier guns
    • Struggles with large Kings (16k HP)
    • Takes 3-5 minutes per kill
  3. Wasted Gun or Below – Not recommended
    • Kill times become 5+ minutes
    • High oxygen consumption makes server hopping inefficient
    • Often run out of oxygen mid-fight

Important Note: The DPS difference between Ruined Harpoon and lower-tier guns is dramatic. A Ruined Harpoon can kill a medium King in 90-120 seconds, while a Wasted Gun might take 4-5 minutes for the same kill. That efficiency gap translates directly to kills per hour and profit per hour.

Artifact Optimization

Artifacts are where you can really fine-tune your King farming performance. Here’s my tested optimization setup:

Slot 1: Damage/Cooldown (Priority)

  • Infernal Eye (Legendary) – Best damage boost artifact
    • Significantly increases harpoon damage per shot
    • Reduces kill time by 20-30%
    • Worth the investment for serious farmers
  • Hour Glass or Demonic Hour Glass – Cooldown reduction
    • Demonic Hour Glass (Legendary) offers best cooldown reduction
    • More shots per minute = faster kills
    • Excellent synergy with high-damage guns
  • Rune of Might (Epic) – Flat damage increase
    • Budget alternative to Infernal Eye
    • Still provides noticeable DPS improvement

Slot 2: Defense/Sustain

  • Tank (Rare) – Damage reduction
    • Reduces King attack damage by significant percentage
    • Allows you to trade hits more aggressively
    • Essential for players still learning dodge patterns
  • Holy Flower (Legendary) – Healing over time
    • Regenerates health during extended fights
    • Reduces dependency on perfect dodging
    • Extremely valuable for multi-King farming sessions
  • Crab Claw – Additional defensive stats
    • Found through Crab questline completion
    • Stacks with Tank for maximum defense

Slot 3: Utility

  • Feather (Common/Uncommon) – Movement speed
    • Makes dodging King lunges much easier
    • Speeds up travel between cave chambers
    • Helps avoid sea mines during combat
  • Ruined Lantern – Enhanced visibility
    • Crucial for spotting sea mines in dark cave
    • Reduces accidental mine collisions by ~80%
    • Quality of life improvement that saves lives
  • Fish Bag – Carry capacity increase
    • Less relevant for King farming (you’re focusing on boss drops, not regular fish)
    • Only use if you have nothing better

My Personal Loadout:

  1. Demonic Hour Glass (faster kills)
  2. Holy Flower (sustain for long sessions)
  3. Feather (dodging and mobility)

This combination prioritizes DPS and sustainability, allowing me to chain multiple King kills without returning to the surface.

Race Selection and Benefits

Your chosen race in Abyss provides passive bonuses that can significantly impact King farming:

Top Tier for King Farming:

1. Kraken (S-Tier)

  • +15% all stats scaling
  • +7% permanent damage (stacks, grows over time)
  • Leviathan’s Legacy: After death, regenerate 100% oxygen and deal 300% AoE (8min cooldown)
  • Why it’s best: The permanent damage scaling means you get stronger the more you play, and the death recovery ability is a free mistake forgiveness every 8 minutes

2. Sea Angel (S-Tier)

  • +30% swim speed
  • +20% oxygen efficiency
  • Ethereal Glide: Move 40% faster when below 30% oxygen
  • Why it’s great: Speed lets you dodge easier and farm more efficiently, oxygen efficiency means longer farming sessions

3. Anglerfish (A-Tier)

  • +25% damage in dark areas (Angler Cave counts as dark)
  • +15% harpoon damage
  • Abyss Hunter: Deal 50% extra damage to creatures below 30% HP
  • Why it’s good: Specialized for exactly the content you’re farming, bonus damage helps with kill speed

Mid Tier for King Farming:

4. Cyclops (A-Tier)

  • +30% harpoon damage
  • -20% harpoon cooldown
  • Single Focus: Deal 80% more damage when targeting one enemy
  • Why it’s decent: Strong single-target damage but lacks defensive utility

5. Shark (B-Tier)

  • +20% speed
  • +15% health
  • Predator’s Instinct: Automatically track bleeding targets
  • Why it’s okay: Speed is nice but less impactful than Kraken’s scaling or Sea Angel’s oxygen benefits

Lower Priority for King Farming:

Puffer, Coral, Elf, Monkey, etc. – These races have benefits that don’t significantly impact King farming specifically. They’re not bad choices, but they won’t optimize your King Anglerfish kills per hour the way the top-tier races do.

Race Reroll Strategy: If you’re serious about King farming, I recommend having either Kraken, Sea Angel, or Anglerfish race. You can reroll your race at the Scientist NPC using Star Shards:

  • Normal Reroll: 100 Star Shards
  • Lucky Reroll: 450 Star Shards (better chances at high-tier races)

For dedicated King farmers, investing in a Lucky Reroll to get Kraken or Sea Angel is worth the Star Shard cost. The performance boost pays for itself within hours of farming.

Consumable Preparation

Oxygen Pods (Essential):

  • Carry 15-20 at minimum
  • Each pod restores oxygen instantly
  • Use proactively at 40-50% oxygen, not as emergency measure at 10%
  • Restock after every 3-5 King kills

Speed Potions (Recommended):

  • Temporary movement speed boost
  • Makes dodging King attacks easier
  • Helps navigate hazardous areas faster
  • Limited availability, save for difficult Kings or learning phase

Damage Potions (Optional):

  • Temporary damage boost
  • Shortens kill time by 15-20%
  • Usually from event rewards or special merchants
  • Use on large Kings for maximum value

Where to Restock:

  • Oxygen Pods: Henry’s Harpoon Shop or any merchant with consumables
  • Potions: Limited availability, check event shops and special NPCs
  • Always restock before farming sessions, not mid-session

King Anglerfish Drops, Value & Profit Analysis

Understanding the drop system and value calculations is crucial for maximizing your gold per hour when farming King Anglerfish. This section breaks down everything you need to know about the reward structure.

Drop Mechanics and DPS Requirements

The King Anglerfish uses a DPS-based drop system, similar to Whale and Dragonfish bosses. Here’s how it works:

Top 3 Damage Dealers Get Drops:

  • The three players who dealt the most damage during the fight receive loot
  • Solo kills mean you automatically get all three “top 3” positions
  • In group scenarios, coordinate focus fire to ensure all participants place top 3
  • Players ranked 4th+ in damage receive nothing

Guaranteed vs Chance-Based Drops:

  • King Anglerfish Meat: 100% drop rate for top 3 (always drops)
  • King Anglerfish Head: 15% drop rate for top 3 (each player rolls independently)

This means when you solo kill a King:

  • You get 1 guaranteed meat drop
  • You get THREE separate 15% chances at the head drop
  • Effective head drop rate for solo players: approximately 40% (1 – 0.85^3)

When multiple players participate:

  • Each top 3 player gets their own meat drop
  • Each top 3 player rolls their own 15% chance for a head
  • It’s possible for all 3 players to get heads, or none to get heads

Size-Based Drop Scaling: The King Anglerfish you defeat isn’t always the same size. Size affects both the HP pool (as discussed in combat section) and the value of drops:

  • Small Kings (5,000-8,000 HP): Drops worth $15,000-16,000 for heads
  • Medium Kings (8,000-13,000 HP): Drops worth $16,000-17,000 for heads
  • Large Kings (13,000-16,000 HP): Drops worth $17,000+ for heads, meat also scales up

Drop Value Breakdown

King Anglerfish Meat (Mythical Rarity):

  • Base Value: $600-1,200 (size-dependent)
  • Weight: Varies by King size
  • Always drops for top 3
  • Can have mutations applied

The meat is your consistent income source. Even if you don’t get the head drop, you’re guaranteed meat value. Over time, meat drops add up to substantial income even though individual pieces aren’t as exciting as heads.

King Anglerfish Head (Mythical Rarity):

  • Base Value: $15,000-17,000+ (size-dependent)
  • Weight: Higher than meat, one head can exceed your tube’s limit if you have regular fish
  • 15% drop chance per top 3 player
  • Can have mutations applied (extremely valuable)

The head is where the real money is. A single King Head drop equals 10-15 meat drops in value. This is why dedicated farmers focus exclusively on King farming rather than regular fish.

Mutation Impact on Profit

All King Anglerfish drops (both meat and heads) can spawn with mutations, just like caught fish. The mutation multiplies the base value:

Common Mutation Multipliers:

  • Poop (0.33x): Actually reduces value – unfortunate when it appears on heads
  • Rock/Coral/Moss (1-1.1x): Minimal value change
  • Metal/Sand (1.2-1.25x): Small boost, better than nothing
  • Albino/Transparent (1.3-1.4x): Noticeable boost

Valuable Mutation Multipliers:

  • Spirit (1.6x): $24,000-27,200 for head
  • Fossil (1.8x): $27,000-30,600 for head
  • Gold/Negative (2x): $30,000-34,000 for head
  • Fairy (2.3x): $34,500-39,100 for head
  • Neon (2.8x): $42,000-47,600 for head

Jackpot Mutation Multipliers:

  • Shadow (6.66x): $99,900-113,220 for head
  • Angelic (7.77x): $116,550-132,090 for head
  • Abyssal (8.5x): $127,500-144,500 for head

An Abyssal mutation King Anglerfish Head is worth more than most players earn in several hours of regular fishing. The odds are extremely low (Abyssal is the rarest mutation), but when it hits, it’s a massive payday.

Mutation Farming Strategy: While you can’t control mutation spawns, you can maximize your chances by:

  • Killing more Kings per session (server hopping method)
  • Prioritizing large Kings when multiple spawns are available
  • Selling high-value mutations immediately (don’t risk losing them to death)

Profit Per Hour Calculations

Let’s break down realistic profit expectations based on different farming efficiencies:

Conservative Estimate (Beginner King Farmer):

  • 3-4 Kings per hour (includes travel time, learning phase, some deaths)
  • 50% head drop rate (solo farming, 3 rolls per kill at 15% each)
  • Average kill: 1 meat ($800) + 50% chance of head ($16,000)
  • Average value per King: $800 + $8,000 = $8,800
  • Hourly Profit: $26,400-35,200

Realistic Estimate (Experienced King Farmer):

  • 6-8 Kings per hour (efficient server hopping, minimal downtime)
  • 40-50% head drop rate
  • Average kill: $800 meat + $6,400-8,000 head value
  • Average value per King: $7,200-8,800
  • Hourly Profit: $43,200-70,400

Optimized Estimate (Expert with Perfect Gear):

  • 8-10 Kings per hour (sub-2-minute kills, perfect server hop routing)
  • 45-50% head drop rate
  • Average kill: $900 meat + $7,200-8,500 head value
  • Average value per King: $8,100-9,400
  • Hourly Profit: $64,800-94,000

Session Example (3 Hours of Farming): Using realistic estimates:

  • Kill 20 Kings total
  • Get approximately 8-10 head drops
  • Total meat: $16,000-18,000
  • Total heads: $128,000-170,000
  • Session Total: $144,000-188,000

This is why King Anglerfish farming is considered one of the absolute best money-making methods in Abyss. No other single activity provides this gold per hour ratio in the endgame.

Comparison to Other Money-Making Methods

King Anglerfish Farming:

  • $43,000-94,000 per hour (depending on skill level)
  • Requires endgame gear and questline completion
  • Consistent, reliable income
  • Can be done solo or in groups

Whale Farming:

  • $30,000-50,000 per hour
  • Similar requirements to King
  • Whale Heads worth less than King Heads
  • Longer kill times than King

Legendary Fish Farming (Bigmouthfish, Eyefish):

  • $25,000-45,000 per hour
  • Lower gear requirements
  • More RNG-dependent (finding fish with good mutations)
  • Safer than boss farming

Regular Fishing (Epic/Rare Fish):

  • $15,000-30,000 per hour
  • Accessible to mid-game players
  • Consistent but capped income
  • No risk, but lower ceiling

Ancient Shark Farming:

  • $20,000-40,000 per hour
  • Dangerous, can lose progress on death
  • Mini-boss rather than full boss
  • Good mid-tier option

King Anglerfish farming clearly dominates the endgame economy. The only activities that compete are Dragonfish farming (similar value) and perfect mutation hunting (extremely RNG-dependent).

Selling Your Drops

Where to Sell:

  • The Kraken (Main hub, Forgotten Deep) – Primary selling location
  • Sell Anywhere feature (369 Robux purchase) – Convenient but costs real money

Selling Strategy:

  • Sell immediately after each session (don’t accumulate drops)
  • Risk of death means you lose unsold inventory
  • Large King Head drops can exceed tube weight limit if carrying other items
  • Consider making selling trips every 3-5 King kills

Inventory Management:

  • A King Head can weigh enough to fill significant tube capacity
  • If farming multiple Kings back-to-back, you might hit weight limit
  • Prioritize head drops over regular fish when inventory is limited
  • Use higher-tier tubes (Ruined, Plane) for better weight capacity

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

After farming hundreds of King Anglerfish and helping other players optimize their strategies, I’ve identified the most common mistakes that cost players time, gold, and progress.

Mistake #1: Using Inadequate Gear

The Problem: New players attempting King farming with mid-tier gear like Boat Tube + Crossbow Gun. This combination results in:

  • Running out of oxygen mid-fight (Boat Tube: 200 oxygen)
  • Kill times exceeding 5-6 minutes
  • Inability to server hop efficiently
  • Frequent deaths from oxygen depletion

The Solution: Don’t attempt King farming until you have:

  • Minimum: Lost Spirit Tube (310 oxygen) + Magroot Gun
  • Recommended: Ruined Tube (380 oxygen) + Ruined Harpoon
  • At least 2-3 defensive artifacts equipped

If you can’t afford Ruined gear yet, focus on Whale farming, Legendary fish catching, or completing Spirit Roots questlines to build up your gold reserve. The gear investment pays for itself within 2-3 hours of efficient King farming.

Mistake #2: Camping One Server

The Problem: Sitting in the same Angler Cave server for 30-60 minutes waiting for King spawns. This results in:

  • 2-4 Kings per hour maximum
  • Wasted oxygen on regular fish farming
  • Boredom leading to loss of focus
  • Missing peak spawns in other servers

The Solution: Implement the server hopping method from minute one:

  • Spend maximum 45 seconds checking for King
  • If no purple diamond, immediately leave server
  • Repeat until you find a King
  • This typically yields 6-10 encounters per hour

The only time to camp a server is if you just killed a King and want to wait for respawn, or if you find a productive group farming session.

Mistake #3: Fighting Without Preparation

The Problem: Players spotting a King and immediately engaging without checking:

  • Current oxygen level (starts fight at 50% oxygen)
  • Nearby sea mines (swims into mine during fight)
  • Other aggressive fish (gets attacked from behind)
  • Escape route availability

This results in deaths, lost drops, and wasted time.

The Solution: Pre-combat checklist (takes 10 seconds):

  1. Check oxygen: 75%+ required, use pod if below
  2. Scan for sea mines in combat area
  3. Look for escape corridors if fight goes bad
  4. Clear nearby aggressive fish if they’re blocking
  5. Queue up oxygen pods in inventory for quick access

Mistake #4: Poor Oxygen Management

The Problem: Waiting until oxygen reaches critical levels (10-20%) before using oxygen pods. This leads to:

  • Panic decisions during combat
  • Accidental mine collisions while searching for pods
  • Deaths from oxygen depletion mid-fight
  • Having to abandon King fights with the boss at 30% HP

The Solution: Proactive oxygen management:

  • Use oxygen pod at 40-50% (not 10-20%)
  • Carry 15-20 pods minimum for farming sessions
  • Set a mental checkpoint: “If oxygen hits 40% during combat, pop pod immediately”
  • Consider oxygen efficiency race (Sea Angel) if this is a persistent issue

The few seconds it takes to use a pod at 50% vs 10% doesn’t matter for kill speed, but the safety margin could save your entire farming session.

Mistake #5: Tunnel Vision on DPS

The Problem: Players focusing exclusively on maximum DPS while ignoring:

  • Sea mine locations (swims into 300 damage explosions)
  • King attack patterns (takes unnecessary hits)
  • Oxygen countdown (doesn’t notice oxygen reaching critical)
  • Environmental hazards (trapped in cave corners)

This results in preventable deaths and lost progress.

The Solution: Combat awareness hierarchy:

  1. Priority 1: Don’t hit sea mines (instant 300 damage)
  2. Priority 2: Maintain oxygen above 30% (use pods proactively)
  3. Priority 3: Dodge King lunges when possible (but hits are recoverable)
  4. Priority 4: Maximize DPS on King

A 10% slower kill time is infinitely better than dying at 80% completion and getting zero drops. Survival first, speed second.

Mistake #6: Ignoring Regular Fish

The Problem (Type A): Players waste time killing regular anglerfish, piranhas, and blobfish during server hopping, thinking they’re “efficient multi-tasking.”

Reality: Each regular fish kill wastes 10-20 seconds that could be spent finding the next King spawn. This reduces your Kings per hour from 8 to 5-6.

The Problem (Type B): Players completely ignore attacking regular fish even when they’re actively being damaged during a King fight.

The Solution: Context-dependent decision making:

  • During Server Hopping: Ignore all regular fish, check for King only
  • During King Combat: Ignore regular fish unless they’re actively attacking you
  • Emergency Only: Kill regular fish if they’re blocking your escape route

The goal is King drops, not complete Bestiary documentation.

Mistake #7: Not Managing Loading Screen Vulnerability

The Problem: Server hopping aggressively without accounting for loading screen damage. Players load into new servers and find themselves at 50% oxygen or even dead because aggressive creatures attacked during the loading screen.

The Solution: Post-load safety protocol:

  1. First action after loading: Check oxygen bar
  2. If oxygen below 75%, use pod immediately
  3. Scan for aggressive fish near your spawn position
  4. If overwhelmed, use speed boost to create distance
  5. Then proceed with King check

This takes 3-5 seconds but prevents dying to a preventable spawn attack.

Mistake #8: Solo Farming Without Defensive Artifacts

The Problem: Players attempting solo King farming with pure offensive artifact setups (3 damage/cooldown artifacts, zero defense). While this maximizes kill speed, it also means:

  • Every King hit takes maximum damage
  • No HP regeneration between fights
  • Higher risk of death = losing all session progress
  • Cannot recover from mistakes

The Solution: Balanced artifact loadout:

  • 1-2 offensive artifacts (Infernal Eye, Hour Glass)
  • 1 defensive artifact (Tank, Holy Flower)
  • 1 utility artifact (Feather, Ruined Lantern)

The slightly slower kill time (5-10% reduction) is more than compensated by the survivability increase. A dead farmer makes $0 per hour.

Mistake #9: Selling Drops Too Frequently

The Problem: Making selling trips every single King kill:

  • Wastes 2-3 minutes per trip traveling to Kraken
  • Reduces Kings per hour significantly
  • Unnecessary when tube has weight capacity for 3-5 King drops

The Solution: Batch selling strategy:

  • Kill 3-5 Kings before selling (or until weight limit)
  • Exception: If you get a mutation King Head (Gold, Abyssal, etc.), sell immediately
  • Balance risk vs efficiency based on your death rate

If you die frequently, sell every 2-3 Kings. If you rarely die, batching 5-6 kills is fine.

Mistake #10: Not Tracking Performance

The Problem: Players farming for hours without knowing their actual Kings per hour, drop rates, or profit metrics. This makes it impossible to:

  • Identify inefficiencies in your method
  • Know when gear upgrades are justified
  • Compare strategies effectively
  • Set realistic gold goals

The Solution: Simple tracking system:

  • Note start time when beginning farming session
  • Count total King kills
  • Count head drops vs total kills
  • Note end time and total gold earned

After 2-3 sessions, you’ll have data:

  • Kings per hour: If below 5, your strategy needs work
  • Head drop rate: Should trend toward 40-50% for solo farmers
  • Gold per hour: Compare to the benchmarks I provided earlier

Use this data to identify bottlenecks and adjust accordingly.

Advanced Tips & Optimization Strategies

Once you’ve mastered the basics of King Anglerfish farming, these advanced techniques will push your efficiency to the next level.

Server Analysis & Selection

Not all servers are created equal for King farming. Here’s how to identify the best servers:

Optimal Server Population:

  • 5-15 players: Best balance of spawn availability and competition
  • 1-4 players: Good, but sometimes spawn issues in very empty servers
  • 15-25 players: Acceptable, but King might already be dead
  • 25+ players: Avoid – high competition, Kings likely already killed

Regional Server Selection: Lower ping improves your combat responsiveness:

  • Sub-50ms ping: Optimal for dodging King attacks
  • 50-100ms ping: Acceptable for most players
  • 100-200ms ping: Noticeable but manageable input lag
  • 200ms+ ping: Avoid if possible, significantly impairs combat

Time-Based Optimization:

  • Peak hours (6 PM – 11 PM local time): More active servers available
  • Off-peak hours (2 AM – 8 AM): Fewer servers but less competition
  • Weekend mornings: Sweet spot – good server count, lower player competition

Group Coordination Strategies

When farming with 1-2 other players, coordination multiplies efficiency:

Role Assignment:

  • Primary DPS: Highest damage player, uses all offensive artifacts
  • Secondary DPS: Balanced damage/defense, provides consistent damage
  • Support (optional for 3-player): Focuses on keeping team alive, crowd control on regular fish

Communication Callouts:

  • “King spotted” – Marks beginning of engagement
  • “30%” – King health checkpoints for timing pod usage
  • “Mines left/right” – Hazard warnings
  • “Pulling aggro” – Taking King attention to give teammate breathing room

Loot Distribution: With proper coordination, all participants should rank top 3 and get drops. Discuss beforehand:

  • Split gold evenly if selling together
  • Each player keeps their own drops
  • Rotate who gets rare mutations if multiple appear

Artifact Rotation & Swapping

Advanced farmers use multiple artifact setups:

Speed Clear Loadout:

  • Infernal Eye + Demonic Hour Glass + Rune of Might
  • Use when: King spawn is confirmed, full oxygen, confident in dodging
  • Maximizes kill speed, accepts higher damage taken
  • Best for experienced players with good positioning

Safe Farming Loadout:

  • Hour Glass + Holy Flower + Tank
  • Use when: Low oxygen, learning King patterns, multiple threats
  • Slower kills but much safer
  • Best for long grinding sessions

Discovery Loadout:

  • Feather + Ruined Lantern + Fish Bag
  • Use when: Server hopping and checking for spawns
  • Optimizes mobility and visibility
  • Not for combat, swap before engaging

You can keep multiple artifact sets and swap as needed, though there’s a small gold cost for changing artifacts repeatedly.

Death Recovery Strategies

Despite best efforts, deaths happen. Minimize impact:

Death Prevention:

  • Set oxygen threshold: Retreat if below 25% during combat
  • Keep emergency oxygen pod slotted (separate from main stack)
  • Watch for visual warning signs of low oxygen (screen effects)

Post-Death Recovery:

  • Accept the 25% gold/inventory loss immediately
  • Don’t tilt and make aggressive decisions
  • Return to systematic server hopping
  • First King kill after death replaces lost value

Learning from Deaths:

  • Note what caused death (mine, oxygen, overwhelmed by mobs)
  • Adjust strategy to prevent repeat occurrence
  • Consider more defensive artifacts if dying frequently

Mutation Luck Maximization

While mutations are RNG, you can stack odds:

Luck-Boosting Methods:

  • Lucky Charm Artifact (if it exists in your server’s version): Small mutation chance boost
  • Full Moon Timing: Some players report higher mutation rates (unconfirmed)
  • Kill Volume: More kills = more mutation opportunities (confirmed)

Mutation Priority: When you see mutation King:

  1. Abyssal (8.5x) – Kill immediately, top priority
  2. Angelic (7.77x) – Kill immediately
  3. Shadow (6.66x) – Kill immediately
  4. Gold/Negative (2x) – Kill if convenient
  5. Lower multipliers – Kill if no better options

Mutation Selling: High-value mutation drops (Gold+) should be sold immediately after obtaining. Don’t risk carrying $100,000+ items longer than necessary.

Session Structure Optimization

Structure your farming time for maximum efficiency:

Warmup Phase (15-20 minutes):

  • First 2-3 Kings to get back into rhythm
  • Use safe farming loadout
  • Focus on clean executions over speed

Peak Performance Phase (1-2 hours):

  • Switch to speed clear loadout if comfortable
  • Aggressive server hopping
  • This is where most profit comes from
  • Minimize breaks, maintain momentum

Cooldown Phase (15-20 minutes):

  • Last 2-3 Kings before ending session
  • Return to safe farming loadout as focus drops
  • Don’t push yourself when tired

Total optimal session: 2-2.5 hours. Longer sessions see diminishing returns as focus drops.

Economy Timing

King farming profit can be optimized around game economy:

Best Times to Sell:

  • Right after new content updates (gear prices high)
  • During limited-time events (demand for gold increases)
  • Early/mid week (weekend price fluctuations stabilize)

Best Times to Buy Gear:

  • During server-wide sales or events
  • Late night off-peak (less market competition)
  • After major nerfs/buffs (displaced meta gear becomes cheaper)

Racing & Building Synergies

Certain race + artifact + gear combinations create exceptional synergy:

Speed Demon Build:

  • Race: Sea Angel (+30% swim speed)
  • Tube: Plane Tube (35m/s speed)
  • Artifacts: Feather + Demonic Hour Glass + Infernal Eye
  • Result: Fastest possible clear times, trades defense for pure speed

Immortal Build:

  • Race: Kraken (death recovery ability)
  • Tube: Ruined Tube (maximum oxygen)
  • Artifacts: Tank + Holy Flower + Crab Claw
  • Result: Near impossible to kill, slower but incredibly safe

Balanced Optimal Build:

  • Race: Anglerfish (+25% damage in dark)
  • Tube: Ruined Tube
  • Artifacts: Infernal Eye + Holy Flower + Feather
  • Result: Best all-around performance

Test different combinations to find what matches your playstyle.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I unlock access to Angler Cave?

To unlock Angler Cave, you must complete the Lost Captain’s questline. The Lost Captain NPC is located in the Ocean biome, far east of the Kraken in the Forgotten Deep area. The questline involves multiple stages of item collection and NPC interactions. Upon completion, you’ll receive the Angler Cave Key, which grants permanent access to the cave entrance in the Ocean biome. This is a prerequisite – you cannot enter Angler Cave without completing this questline first.

What’s the minimum gear needed to farm King Anglerfish?

The absolute minimum viable setup is Lost Spirit Tube (310 oxygen, 500m depth) and Magroot Gun. However, this makes farming very difficult and inefficient. The recommended setup is Ruined Tube (380 oxygen, 650m depth) and Ruined Harpoon Gun, both purchased from the Lightkeeper NPC inside Angler Cave. You’ll also want at least 15 oxygen pods in your inventory and 2-3 artifacts equipped (preferably with at least one defensive option like Tank or Holy Flower).

How long does it take to kill a King Anglerfish?

Kill time varies dramatically based on your gear and the King’s size. With optimal gear (Ruined Harpoon + damage artifacts), a small-medium King takes 90-120 seconds. Large Kings (16,000 HP) can take 2-3 minutes. With mid-tier gear (Magroot Gun, fewer artifacts), expect 3-5 minutes per kill. The longer the fight, the more oxygen you consume, which is why gear investment is crucial for efficient farming.

Can I farm King Anglerfish solo or do I need a group?

King Anglerfish farming works both solo and in groups. Solo farming gives you complete control over server hopping timing and all drops go to you (three chances at the 15% head drop). Group farming with 2-3 players speeds up kills and makes fights safer, but you share the spawns. Both approaches are viable – solo is better for maximizing Kings per hour through server hopping, while groups are better for learning or handling large Kings safely.

How much money can I make per hour farming King Anglerfish?

Profit varies by experience and gear level. Beginners with minimum gear make approximately $26,000-35,000 per hour. Experienced farmers with optimized gear earn $43,000-70,000 per hour. Expert players with perfect execution and gear can reach $64,000-94,000 per hour. A typical 3-hour farming session should net you $150,000-200,000 in total. This makes King farming one of the most profitable activities in Abyss.

What is the head drop rate for King Anglerfish?

The King Anglerfish Head has a 15% drop chance for each player who ranks in the top 3 damage dealers. When solo farming, you are the only damage dealer, so you get three independent 15% chances at the head (one for each “top 3” position). This gives solo farmers an effective 40-45% chance of getting at least one head per kill. In group scenarios, each top 3 player rolls their own 15% chance independently.

Are bigger King Anglerfish worth the extra time to kill?

Yes, larger Kings are worth the extra effort. Large Kings (13,000-16,000 HP) drop heads valued at $17,000+ compared to $15,000-16,000 for smaller Kings. The extra 30-60 seconds of kill time is easily justified by the $1,000-2,000 increased value. Additionally, larger Kings drop more meat, further increasing the total profit per kill. If you have a choice between multiple spawns, always prioritize the larger King.

How do mutations affect King Anglerfish drop values?

All King drops (meat and heads) can spawn with mutations that multiply their base value. Common mutations (1-1.5x) provide small boosts, while rare mutations dramatically increase value: Gold/Negative (2x) doubles value to $30,000-34,000 for heads, Shadow (6.66x) brings heads to ~$100,000-113,000, and Abyssal (8.5x) can make a single head worth $127,000-144,000. Mutation chances are random and can’t be controlled, but farming more Kings increases your chances of hitting valuable mutations.

Why do I keep dying during server hopping?

Loading screen vulnerability is a common issue. When you join a new server, aggressive creatures can damage you during the loading screen before you gain control. Always check your oxygen bar immediately after loading in – if it’s below 75-80%, use an oxygen pod before doing anything else. You may also be spawning near sea mines or in the middle of combat. Consider keeping one oxygen pod slotted separately for post-load emergency use.

What’s better for King farming: speed or damage artifacts?

Both are viable but serve different purposes. Damage artifacts (Infernal Eye, Rune of Might) reduce kill time, allowing more Kings per hour. Cooldown artifacts (Hour Glass, Demonic Hour Glass) increase shots per minute, also boosting DPS. Speed artifacts (Feather) improve dodging and movement between spawns. The optimal loadout combines these: one damage/cooldown, one defensive (Tank/Holy Flower), and one utility (Feather). Pure damage builds are faster but riskier for solo farming.

Should I sell drops immediately or batch them?

This depends on your death rate and tube capacity. If you die frequently, sell every 2-3 King kills to minimize potential losses. If you rarely die, batching 4-6 kills before selling saves travel time. However, if you get a high-value mutation drop (Gold or better), sell immediately – don’t risk losing a $30,000+ item. Your tube’s weight capacity also factors in; the Ruined Tube can carry 4-5 King drops comfortably, while lower-tier tubes may need more frequent selling trips.

Do weekends or specific times affect King spawn rates?

There’s no confirmed evidence that time of day or day of week affects King spawn rates. However, more active servers are available during peak hours (6-11 PM local time) and weekends, giving you more servers to hop between. This indirectly increases your Kings per hour because you have more potential spawns to check. For pure spawn mechanics, any time is equal, but for practical farming efficiency, peak population times are slightly better.

Can I get banned for server hopping?

No, server hopping is a legitimate strategy and is not against Roblox or Abyss game rules. Many endgame farming strategies rely on server hopping to find rare spawns, including Whale farming, Dragonfish hunting, and King Anglerfish farming. The developers are aware of this practice and haven’t made any moves to prevent it. Just make sure you’re not using any third-party tools or exploits – manual server hopping through the Roblox servers menu is completely allowed.

Final Thoughts

The King Anglerfish represents the pinnacle of money-making in Roblox Abyss. With proper preparation, optimized gear, and the server hopping technique I’ve detailed in this guide, you can transform this Mythical boss from an occasional lucky encounter into a consistent, reliable source of massive profits.

Remember the core principles:

  • Access first – Complete the Lost Captain questline before attempting farming
  • Gear matters – Ruined Tube and Ruined Harpoon are essential investments
  • Server hop – Don’t camp one server waiting for spawns
  • Survive first, DPS second – Avoid sea mines and manage oxygen proactively
  • Track performance – Measure your Kings per hour to identify improvements

Whether you’re a solo farmer optimizing for maximum efficiency or part of a group making endgame content more manageable, the strategies in this guide will help you maximize your King Anglerfish success rate. At $50,000-90,000 per hour of farming, no other activity in Abyss comes close to this profit potential.

The deep waters of Angler Cave hold incredible wealth for those brave and skilled enough to hunt its Mythical boss. Use this guide as your roadmap, practice the techniques, invest in the right gear, and watch your gold reserves skyrocket.

Happy hunting, and may every purple diamond lead to an Abyssal mutation King Head. Now get out there and start farming – those Kings won’t defeat themselves!
