Treasure Grove Boss Fish

Learn how to catch Beelzebub Tuna, Godfish, and Poseidon Swordfish in fantasy life i the girl who steals time. Includes farming tips and material uses.

You will need boss fish materials to complete numerous Hero Rank quests. If you fish at every fish shadow you spot throughout the game you’ll catch most of the fish. Even when you reach Master Rank as an Angler and start trying to complete the Hero Rank quests, you won’t need to do much more than fish out the Depths - B3 dungeon and a few boss fish on the Swolean Island. It’s not until you try to Master Rank other Lives, like Artist, Cook and Tailor, that you’ll realize there are a fair few endgame boss fish you haven’t encountered. These include the Beelzebub Tuna, Godfish & Poseidon Swordfish, which, in addition to the fish itself can drop the Devil’s Fin, Godfish Moss and Poseidon’s Fin materials (respectively) when caught, and you will need this to craft the following recipes:

Treasure Grove Boss Fish Recipes

1. Beelzebub Tuna: Beelzebub Tuna Print, Hearty Seafood Soup
2. Devil’s Fin: Apocalypse Gauntlets, Beelzebub Tuna Print, Hearty Seafood Soup
3. Godfish: Godfish Print, Lordfish Platter
4. Godfish Platter: Godfish Print, Royal Maker’s Top, Violet Rod (Supreme/Legendary)
5. Poseidon’s Fin: Steel Beast’s Gloves, True Rod of Time

If you want that lovely Master of All Trades achievement/trophy, you’re gonna have to find these fish, as three Lives can’t be raised to Hero Rank without them! Unfortunately these fish only spawn in Treasure Groves, which complicates matters a bit…

Warning: farming Treasure Grove Saplings can be time-consuming and tedious, and your odds of getting any one of these boss fish are fairly low. It’s not impossible to burn through two dozen Treasure Grove Saplings and not find any of these boss fish. You also have to make it to the end of the Treasure Grove, which takes time, and there’s no guarantee you’ll get the materials you need at the end. You’ll get the fish itself, but a Godfish is not obligated to drop Godfish Moss, for example. You’ll improve your odds if you get an “Excellent” outcome via overkill, but still, it’s a bummer burning through that much time and effort only to walk away with less than you need.

Treasure Grove Branches:

• If you play with friends, you will get a Treasure Grove Branch that will recreate their treasure grove – share the spoils!
• You can join another friend online and play through Treasure Groves together, so if one of you finds a boss fish, you can both reap the rewards together!
• Even better, if you clear a Treasure Grove in a friend’s world, you can opt to obtain a Treasure Grove Branch that allows you to replant that same exact Treasure Grove in your own world!
• Two players farming together in their own worlds and sharing the spoils will make this grind much, much faster.

Buying Treasure Grove Boss Fish Materials:

Fortunately there’s an alternative to Treasure Groves entirely, and while it’s no less luck-dependent than farming Treasure Groves, having two gambles going at once increases your odds of winning.

1. In Ginormosia you will find a wandering merchant named “The Don” - just look for his icon on the map.
2. He travels about slowly and carries many useful consumables, materials and recipes in stock, including potentially any of the boss fish and their materials.
3. His stock is random and changes over time, but a lucky store inventory spawn can save you a lot of time!

Warning: First, his stock is dependent on the Area Rank of the region he’s in at the time. You will likely need to have each area at Area Rank 5+ to have access to these boss fish, and this itself is a fair grind. Second, you will need Cashnuts to purchase items from The Don.
