If you’ve started the new Green Beneath the Sea quest in Fisch, you’ve probably reached the point where the game asks for a Blooming Terror and a Sinking Terror. Like many recent Fisch quests, the objective names don’t directly tell you what fish you actually need, which has left a lot of players confused.
The good news is that both requirements are much simpler once you understand what they’re referring to. They’re not unique fish species at all. Instead, they’re specific fish combined with specific mutations.
Here’s exactly what each requirement means and the fastest way to obtain them.
Fisch Blooming Terror and Sinking Terror Guide – Sea Quest
Blooming Terror is actually a:
Blossomed Kraken
The quest uses a nickname rather than the real fish name, which is why many players spend time searching through their bestiary without finding any mention of Blooming Terror.
To complete this objective, you’ll need to catch a Kraken and obtain the Blossomed mutation.
How to Get a Blossomed Kraken
The recommended rod for this requirement is:
Veridian Oath Rod
The Veridian Oath Rod is currently considered the most reliable way to obtain the Blossomed mutation needed for the quest.
Recommended Setup
- Veridian Oath Rod
- Kraken fishing location
- Mutation-focused fishing setup
Once you successfully catch a Kraken with the Blossomed mutation, the Blooming Terror requirement will be completed.
What Is Sinking Terror?
Sinking Terror refers to a:
Sunken Megalodon
Just like Blooming Terror, this is another quest nickname rather than an actual fish.
To finish this objective, you’ll need to catch a Megalodon with the Sunken mutation.
How to Get a Sunken Megalodon
For this requirement, you’ll want to use:
Sunken Rod
The Sunken Rod is specifically tied to obtaining the Sunken mutation, making it the best choice for this objective.
Recommended Setup
- Sunken Rod
- Megalodon fishing location
- Mutation boosting equipment if available
Continue fishing until you obtain a Megalodon with the Sunken mutation.
Once caught, it will count as the Sinking Terror required for the quest.
Fastest Way to Complete Both Requirements
If your goal is simply finishing the Green Beneath the Sea quest as quickly as possible, follow this order:
Step 1
Catch a Blossomed Kraken using the Veridian Oath Rod.
Step 2
Switch to the Sunken Rod.
Step 3
Farm Megalodons until you obtain a Sunken Megalodon.
Completing both catches will satisfy the quest requirements and allow you to continue progressing through the Shady Bazaar questline.
