The Collapsed Ruins and Crowned Ruins are among the most popular fishing regions for players exploring Tidefall. Each of these regions contains over 10 fish, including some of the most challenging catches in the game. So, if you’re wondering how to complete both bestiaries, here’s a detailed guide to help you reel in every fish found in these two areas.
How to catch all 11 Fishes in Collapsed Ruins
The table below contains all the fish details required to complete the Collapsed Ruins bestiary.
| Fish Name | Bait | Season | Weather | Time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 Copper Rockfish (Common) | Shrimp | Spring, Summer | Clear | Day |
 Roughhead Grenadier (Common) | Squid | Autumn, Winter | Clear | Night |
 Atlantic Halosaur (Uncommon) | Shrimp | Summer | Clear | Day |
 Blackfin Icefish (Uncommon) | Shrimp | Winter | Clear | _ |
 Shortnose Chimaera (Uncommon) | Squid | Autumn, Winter | Clear | Night |
 Bigeye Houndshark (Unusual) | Fish Head | Spring, Autumn | Clear | Night |
 Longnose Chimaera (Unusual) | Squid | Winter | Foggy | Night |
 Opah (Rare) | Squid | Autumn | Clear | Day |
 Blackfin Barracuda (Legendary) | Minnow | Summer | Clear | Night |
 Black Scabbardfish (Mythical) | Squid | Autumn, Winter | Windy | Night |
 Pliosaur (Exotic) [Only Spawns during the Pliosaur Hunt] | Shark Head | Winter | Foggy | Winter |
If you are unable to catch any low-rarity fish like Roughhead Grenadier or Shortnose
Chimaera, I recommend you deploy some cages or start spearfishing. Also, the Pliosaur is not available to catch at all times; it only spawns during the Pliosaur Hunt, which is random, but the chances can be increased by using the Sunstone Totem.
How to catch all 13 Fishes in Crowned Ruins
Similar to the previous table, this one contains information like the fish baits, weather, season, and timing in Crowned Ruins.
| Fish Name | Bait | Season | Weather | Time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 Gnomefish (Common) | Shrimp | Spring | Clear | Day |
 Oil Sardine (Common) | Flakes | Summer | Clear | Day |
 Roundnose Grenadier (Common) | Squid | Winter | Clear | Night |
 Greater Weever (Uncommon) | Shrimp | Summer | Clear | Day |
 Silver Roughy (Uncommon) | Shrimp | Autumn | Clear | Day |
 Spotted Drum (Uncommon) | Shrimp | Summer | Clear | Night |
 Warty Oreo (Uncommon) | Squid | Autumn, Winter | Clear | Day |
 Armorhead (Unusual) | — | Summer | Clear | Day |
 Blackspot Tuskfish (Unusual) | — | Summer | Clear | Day |
 Tompot Blenny (Rare) | Shrimp | Spring, Summer | Clear | Day |
 Black Snoek (Legendary) | Minnow | Autumn | Windy | Night |
 Blackmouth Catshark (Mythical) [Spear Fishing Preferred] | — | Autumn, Summer | Clear | Night |
 Goldwraith (Exotic) | Sapphire Krill | — | — | Night |
If you are tired of catching fish using rods, you can purchase the Golden cages for 25,000C$ at the entrance of Crowned Ruins and deploy them all around the pool. I personally caught the Tompot Blenny using the Golden cage.
Similar to the Pliosaur, the Goldwraith only spawns during the Goldwraith Hunt, which is random and a server-wide event. You can use a Sunstone Totem during Aurora Borealis to increase your chance. Also, since this is a server-wide event, everyone can try to catch the fish during the hunt. So, play either on a low player count server or a private one.
How to reach the Collapsed Ruins & Crowned Ruins in Fisch
As mentioned earlier, both locations are within the Tidefall. In case you have not reached Tidefall yet, go straight to (3138, 132, 910) to find the Underwater Cave. Equip a Tidebreaker+ Advanced Oxygen Tank and jump straight down to reach the Tidefall.
Once you are inside Tidefall, walk straight towards the Southern direction to find the Entrance to the Collapsed Ruins at GPS (3155,-1052, 1261). Just jump over the rocky ledges, and you will find the entrance. Walk straight to enter Collapsed Ruins.
From Collapsed Ruins, you can easily enter the Crowned Ruins, as all you have to do is go towards the backside of the area to find a small, narrow path that will directly lead you into the Crowned Ruins.
Fisch Collapsed Ruins & Crowned Ruins FAQs
Yes, the Crowned Ruins is next to the Collapsed Ruins. In fact, if you check the map, it is located within the Collapsed Ruins. So, if you have to enter and fish in Crowned Ruins, you must first reach the Collapsed Ruins and go towards the backside to find an entrance into the former. Also, there is no other alternative path to reach the Crowned Ruins.
There are 11 fish as part of the Collapsed Ruins Bestiary and 13 for Crowned Ruins.
