Dynamite, spikes, and whirlpools surround Ancient Isles, and those are all capable of sending you down to the Davy Jones’ locker!

To help you get it in the shortest amount of time, here is our complete guide on how to catch Megalodon in Fisch.

Megalodon Event Spawn Location and Time in Fisch
The Megalodon Event in starts in the open ocean behind the Ancient Isle (~7200, 130, 200), right when the day/night switch happens. The chances of it occurring are relatively high compared to those of other events, and it’s currently much more common than regular Shark Hunts.
Also, the dynamite, spikes, and whirlpools that usually spawn around the Ancient Isle can’t spawn this far out in the ocean. However, they can still get you while you make your way from the Ancient Isles. So, use the fastest boats you have to dodge them.
How to Start the Megalodon Event in Fisch by Yourself
The most reliable and foolproof way of starting the Megalodon Event yourself in Fisch is to spam Sundial Totems. That way, you can force a day/night switch every ~20 seconds, wh☂ich shou𝔍ld allow you to get a Megalodon Event in about 10 minutes on average.
If you don’t want to spend money on totems, then you can try server hopping until you find a server where whales are spamming Sundial Totems themselves. You can also invite your friends and share the expense of totem-spamming with them.
