How to catch an Archerfish in Fields of Mistria

Whether you’re trying to complete the Fish Wing in the Museum, or get through the Earth Seal door, there’s one fish you’ll need to find in Fields of Mistria — Archerfish. 

Thankfully, the Archerfish is a Mines fish, and that means that you don’t have any weather or seasonal restrictions when it comes to hunting it. Sadly, that doesn’t make it easier to find. As an uncommon fish, you’re likely to be fishing for a whil▨e before you c⛄ome across this little spitter.

For context, Archerfish are a very real fish which will hunt its insect prey by shooting a stream of water at them from beneath the surface. While Archerfish in Fields of Mistria aren’t about to start spitting a🔯t you while you’re fishing, it’s a fun piece of trivia that I’ve never ha𒊎d an opportunity to share. And now you know. 

How to catch an Archerfish in Fields of Mistria

To find an Archerfish, you’re going to have to first unlock the Mines, reach level 20, and unlock the Water Seal. This will give you access to Tide Caverns (Floors 21 – 40), which is precisely where you’ll need to be to catch an Archerfish. 

Archerfish have small shadows, but they’re not the only fish in the area with the same size shadow. The Sapphire Betta is another small fish caught in the Tide Caverns, and it is a common fish, so you’re likely to stock up on them while hunting for Archerfish. On the plus side, Sapphire Betta can also be donated to the Museum, c🥀an be given to Balor as a liked gift, and each on💞e sells for 40 Tesserae. 

To make it easier on yourself, make sure to unlock the following Perks at Caldarus’ Statue when they become available:

Outside of donation to the Museum, the only real use for an Archerfish is to make your way through the Earth Seal. This will provide access to Deep Earth (Floors 41 – 60 of the Mines), allowing you to gather Silver Ore and Emeralds, as well as giving you the ability to catch more fish or bugs for the Museum.
