Fisch just rolled out a new update in time for the holiday season, and it features a snowy region with a whole plethora of fish to add to your growing bestiary. In this guide, we will be talking about the Glacial Grotto, which is one of the hidden fishing spots that you can find in the new Northern Expedition zone added in this patch.
How to Find the Glacial Grotto in the Northern Expedition Update
The new Northern Expedition area is a harsh and cold island that requires players to keep an eye on their oxygen and temperature levels. As you take on the dangerous trek to reach the top of the mountain, there are a lot of secret areas to find along the way.
Among these secret areas is the Glacial Grotto, which is a cave that you can find as you approach the final stretch of the path to the highest peak of the Northern Expedition zone. It contains a few rare to mythical fish, and getting there is very simple.
First, all you need to do is follow the linear path leading up the mountain. Seriously, do not try to skip sections of it by spamming jumps to scale the cliffside. Instead, just keep following the path.
Once you are getting close to the top, pay very close attention to the walls on your left. Eventually, you will find a small cave entrance hidden beside a large green bush. The coordinates for the entrance are at around: (X: 19986.6, Y: 1942.2, Z: 5742.7).
From here, you just need to enter the cave and make your way down to the water below. There are ladders conveniently places all over this cave to help you get back up should you wish to continue to the tip of the mountain.
Here, you can catch the mythical Icebeard Sharks, or the lesser Borealis Snappers, Glacier Swordfish, Shiverfin Haddocks, Icefang Barracuds, and Frostbite Flounders.
One thing to note that there is currently a known bug that causes your character to completely freeze and force a respawn or reset. This is supposedly due to one or more of the fish there being completely broken or nonexistent, and catching it bricks your character for that session.
That is pretty much everything you need to know in order to find the Glacial Grotto and what to watch out for when you fish there, at least for the time being.
