What to know
- Goldwraith only appears during the Goldwraith Hunt event.
- It spawns exclusively at Crowned Ruins inside Tidefall.
- Strong resistance makes high-tier rods and enchantments essential.
- Preparation before the server alert saves valuable time.
Goldwraith is an exotic, event-exclusive fish in Fisch that does not behave like standard bestiary entries. You cannot force-spawn it or fish for it freely. Instead, success depends on timing, positioning, and having the right setup ready when the hunt begins.
Fisch Goldwraith location
Goldwraith spawns only when the Goldwraith Hunt event is announced server-wide. Once the alert appears, the fish becomes available at Crowned Ruins, a fishing zone located within Tidefall. Tidefall itself sits between Ancient Isle and Moosewood and is accessed through an underwater cave system. If the event is inactive, Goldwraith cannot be caught under any circumstances. You can also find some rare fish like Omnithal and Fallen Flying Gurnard in the Tidefall.

How to catch Goldwraith in Fisch
Step 1: Prepare before the event alert
Stay near Tidefall or Crowned Ruins while waiting for the Goldwraith Hunt announcement. This minimizes travel time once the event begins. You can travel from Moosewood by taking ferry, submarine or jetski.
Step 2: Equip high-tier fishing rod & enchantments
Goldwraith applies heavy resistance and slows progress. Strong rods significantly improve your chances of completing the catch bar before time runs out.
Recommended rods include:
Enchantments that increase catch speed or stabilize progress help counter Goldwraith’s slowdown effects.
Effective enchantments include:
- Swift
- Steady
- Immortal
- Blessed Song
Step 3: Use the correct bait
Reach the Crowned Ruins in time of the event announcement.
Sapphire Krill x8900 or Luminous Larva x49118 offers the best attraction consistency during the hunt and is widely considered the optimal bait choice for this fish.
Step 4: Favor nighttime conditions
Goldwraith is easier to manage at night in Crowned Ruins. If available, time-altering items such as a sundial totem can be used when the event starts to shift conditions in your favor.
Step 5: Catch the Goldwraith in Crowned Ruins
Casting outside Crowned Ruins during the event will not yield Goldwraith. Make sure your line is placed directly within the correct fishing zone.
Reel in Goldwraith carefully, and enjoy its colossal-ness!
Event strategy tips that save attempts
- The event is server-dependent, so hopping servers may be necessary if you want faster hunt availability.
- Keep bait, enchantments, and rods ready beforehand; there is no setup time once the alert triggers.
- Standing at Crowned Ruins before the announcement gives you a major advantage over late arrivals.
Rewards from the Goldwraith hunt
| Reward | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Goldwraith entry | Exotic bestiary progress |
| High prestige catch | Collection and flex value |
| Event completion | Progress toward rare achievements |
Goldwraith is less about luck and more about readiness. If you position yourself early, use the right rod and bait, and take advantage of nighttime conditions, you significantly improve your odds during the short event window. Patience with server alerts is just as important as mechanical skill once the line is in the water.
