How to Catch Predator Mythical Fish in Blox Fruits (June 2026)

Catching the elusive Predator Mythical Fish in Blox Fruits has become the ultimate achievement for dedicated anglers since the Submerged Expansion Update dropped. This legendary aquatic beast represents one of the rarest catches in the entire game, and I’ve spent countless hours perfecting the strategy to help you add this trophy to your collection. Whether you’re a seasoned fisherman with maxed-out gear or just starting your journey toward legendary catches, this comprehensive guide will transform you into a Predator-hunting expert who knows exactly where, when, and how to catch this mythical creature.

Quick Overview

How to Get the Predator Mythical Fish in Blox Fruits?

The Predator Mythical Fish stands as one of the most challenging catches in Blox Fruits, requiring specific conditions, location knowledge, and patience that would test even the most experienced players. Unlike regular fish that can be caught anywhere in the seas, the Predator has extremely specific spawning conditions that make it a true endgame fishing challenge. I’ve compiled everything you need to know based on extensive testing and community feedback since the Submerged Expansion update introduced this elusive creature.

Essential Prerequisites You Can’t Skip

Before you even think about hunting the Predator, you need to prepare properly. Here’s what’s absolutely required:

1. Unlock Advanced Fishing Gear First things first – your starter fishing rod won’t cut it. You need to complete quests for the Angler NPC to unlock better rods and higher-quality bait. The Angler can be found at:

• First Sea: Lower docks of Skylands
• Second Sea: Green Zone dock (Dock 3)
• Third Sea: Hydra Island by the river

2. Reach Fishing Level 20+ You must reach at least Fishing level 20 to interact with the Angler. This typically requires catching 50-100 fish with your basic setup. Each successful catch gives you 25% of a level, so you’ll need exactly 80 catches to reach level 20 from scratch.

3. Stock Up on Carnivore Bait While technically you could use other baits, Carnivore Bait is highly recommended as it increases your odds of attracting rare fish like the Predator. To unlock Carnivore Bait, you’ll need:

• Complete multiple Angler quests (usually 20-25)
• Have sufficient crafting materials
• Pay the crafting cost (typically around 150,000 Beli)

Where to Find the Predator Mythical Fish?

Location is everything when hunting the Predator. This mythical fish has one of the most specific spawn requirements in the entire game.

The Only Spawn Location: Submerged Island

The Predator Fish has a very specific habitat. You must travel to the Submerged Island in the Third Sea. But here’s the crucial detail – you can’t just fish anywhere on the island. You need to be in the Expansion Area of the Submerged Island. This is the only known location where the Predator can be caught.

To reach Submerged Island:

1. Travel to Tiki Outpost in the Third Sea
2. Find the Submarine Worker at Sub Port 01
3. Take the submarine to Submerged Island (it’s free!)

Finding the Expansion Area

Once you arrive at Submerged Island, you need to locate the Expansion Area. This zone was added in the September 2025 update and features:

• Larger coral formations than the main island
• More open water areas
• Frequent whirlpool spawns
• Higher-level Coral Pirate enemies

How to Catch the Predator Fish Step by Step?

Now for the actual catching process. Follow these steps exactly for the best chance at success:

Step 1: Locate Active Whirlpools

Once you are in the Expansion Area, look for whirlpools in the water. These can be either large or small and will spawn randomly around the area. Whirlpools appear as swirling water with distinct visual effects:

• Bubbling water surface
• Circular current patterns
• Slight downward pull effect

Important: The Predator can only be caught by fishing inside these active whirlpools. Regular fishing spots won’t work!

Step 2: Perfect Your Fishing Setup

Before casting your line:

• Equip your best fishing rod (Gold Rod minimum, Shell Rod preferred)
• Load up on Carnivore Bait (bring at least 50-100)
• Activate any fishing-related accessories or buffs
• Position yourself close to the whirlpool’s center

Step 3: Master the Fishing Process

Equip your best fishing rod and high-quality bait. Cast your line directly into the center of a whirlpool. Complete the fishing mini-game when you get a bite.

The fishing mini-game for mythical fish is notoriously difficult:

• The fish icon moves extremely fast
• The control bar is narrower than usual
• You need to maintain perfect control for longer
• One mistake often means losing the catch

Step 4: Deal with Whirlpool Mechanics

Here’s a critical detail many guides miss: Whirlpools despawn after approximately 10 minutes. If your whirlpool disappears, you will need to find a new one to continue fishing. This means:

• Work quickly once you find a whirlpool
• Don’t waste time with inventory management
• Be prepared to search for new whirlpools frequently
• Consider bringing a crew to scout multiple locations

Pro Strategies to Maximize Your Chances

After hundreds of attempts and consulting with the community’s top fishermen, I’ve discovered several strategies that significantly improve your odds:

Strategy 1: Complete All Angler Quests

The single most important thing you can do is to complete Angler NPC quests. Unlocking the best possible rod and the best bait will dramatically improve your odds. Here’s the optimal progression path:

1. First 10 Quests: Focus on unlocking basic bait upgrades
2. Quests 11-20: Work toward the Gold Rod
3. Quests 21-30: Unlock Epic and Abyssal Bait
4. Quests 31+: Aim for Carnivore Bait and Shell Rod

Each quest has a 15-minute cooldown, so plan your sessions accordingly.

Strategy 2: Aurora Borealis Event Timing

The Aurora Borealis is a rare, server-wide event that temporarily significantly increases the luck stat for all players. Fishing during this event gives you a massively boosted chance of catching mythical fish. When you see the sky lighting up with colorful auroras:

• Drop everything and head to Submerged Island immediately
• The event typically lasts 30-60 minutes
• Your mythical fish chances increase by approximately 300-500%
• Server hop if you miss the event on your current server

Strategy 3: Optimize Your Fishing Build

While Blox Fruits don’t directly affect fishing, certain builds can help:

• Buddha Fruit: Larger hitbox makes clicking fishing prompts easier
• Ice/Magma: Walk on water for better positioning
• Light/Flame: Quick travel to reach whirlpools faster

Strategy 4: Advanced Whirlpool Hunting

Since whirlpools are random, maximize your efficiency:

• Learn the Expansion Area’s layout completely
• Check all water zones systematically
• Use a flight ability to scout from above
• Mark active whirlpool locations for your crew

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Even experienced players make these errors when hunting the Predator:

1. Fishing Outside Whirlpools Regular fishing spots in the Expansion Area won’t spawn the Predator. You MUST fish inside active whirlpools.

2. Using Wrong Bait While Basic or Kelp Bait might technically work, your chances are astronomically low. Carnivore Bait is essentially mandatory.

3. Giving Up Too Soon Catching a mythical fish is a test of patience. You will likely catch many other fish before the Predator bites. Don’t get discouraged; persistence is key.

4. Ignoring Whirlpool Timers Remember the 10-minute despawn timer. Don’t get caught mid-fight when your whirlpool vanishes!

5. Solo Hunting Having friends scout for whirlpools while you fish dramatically increases efficiency.

Fishing Passives and Upgrades That Help

Maximize your fishing effectiveness by leveling these passives:

Bait Passive

• Effect: Increases bait effectiveness
• How to Level: Buy bait from NPCs (10 bait = 10 exp)
• Priority: High for Predator hunting

Casting Passive

• Effect: Reduces bite delay
• How to Level: Land perfect casts repeatedly
• Priority: Medium – speeds up attempts

Control Passive

• Effect: Widens the minigame control bar

What Makes the Predator Fish Special?

You might wonder why players obsess over catching this particular fish. Here’s what makes it worth the effort:

Trophy Status

Besides the prestige of having one of the rarest fish in your inventory, the Predator is primarily a trophy catch. Owning one instantly marks you as a dedicated and skilled angler.

Potential Future Uses

It may also be required for certain advanced quests or titles. While current uses are limited, Blox Fruits frequently adds new content that requires rare materials.

Trading Value

Although fish can’t be traded directly, having a Predator in your inventory can be valuable leverage in fruit trading negotiations.

Alternative Mythical Fish to Target

If the Predator proves too elusive, consider these other mythical catches:

Terrorfish

The Terrorfish can be obtained by fishing at the Tiki Outpost, Frozen Dimension or Prehistoric Island with the Carnivore Bait. While still rare, it has more spawn locations making it slightly easier to catch.

Golden Carp (Event Exclusive)

During Golden Whirlpool events, you can catch Golden Carp which are used for fishing tournaments. These spawn every hour at exactly XX:00 server time in golden whirlpools.

Equipment Recommendations for Success

Here’s my tested loadout for maximum Predator-catching potential:

Essential Gear

• Rod: Shell Rod (best) or Gold Rod (minimum)
• Bait: Carnivore Bait (100+ recommended)
• Accessories: Any items boosting luck or fishing speed
• Fruit: Buddha for easier minigame clicking

Backup Supplies

• Extra bait (whirlpool hunting is bait-intensive)
• Movement ability for quick whirlpool scouting
• Friends or crew members for coordinated hunting

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I catch the Predator Fish in the First or Second Sea?

No. The Predator Mythical Fish is exclusive to the Submerged Island in the Third Sea. You must have access to this area to have any chance of catching it. This means you need to be at least level 1500 and have completed the Third Sea access quest.

Is there a specific time when whirlpools spawn?

Whirlpool spawns are random. There is no specific day or time. You simply need to be in the Expansion Area and search for them. However, some players report slightly higher spawn rates during server peak hours.

What fishing level do I need for the best chances?

While you can technically attempt at level 20, most successful catches come from players with fishing level 50+. Higher levels mean better passive bonuses and access to superior equipment.

Can I use regular whirlpools found elsewhere?

No, only whirlpools specifically in the Submerged Island Expansion Area can spawn the Predator. Golden whirlpools from events won’t work either.

How rare is the Predator compared to other mythical fish?

Based on community data, the Predator appears to be among the rarest fish in the game, with catch rates potentially lower than 0.1% even with optimal gear.

Does server hopping help find more whirlpools?

Yes! Each server has independent whirlpool spawns. If your current server has no active whirlpools, switching servers can give you fresh spawning opportunities.

Conclusion

Catching the Predator Mythical Fish in Blox Fruits is a challenging but rewarding achievement that showcases your dedication as an angler. The process is straightforward: get the best gear from the Angler NPC, head to the Submerged Island’s Expansion Area, and fish persistently inside the whirlpools. For the best results, keep an eye out for the Aurora Borealis event. With patience and the right strategy, you will eventually add this legendary fish to your collection.
