In the world of Fisch, Strange Whirlpools are unique phenomena that serve as gateways to hidden areas and opportunities for rare catches. Unlike regular whirlpools, Strange Whirlpools are distinguished by a constant spout of water shooting upwards, making them visible from a distance.
Key Features of Strange Whirlpools:
Access to Vertigo: Entering a Strange Whirlpool transports players to Vertigo, also known as The Great Abyss—a hidden cave illuminated by glowing crystals.
Exclusive Fishing Opportunities: The Isonade, a rare and mythical fish, can only be caught around active Strange Whirlpools, making these locations essential for anglers seeking to complete their bestiary.
Obtaining the Depths Key: Fishing in the vicinity of Strange Whirlpools provides a chance to acquire the Depths Key, an exotic item necessary for unlocking The Depths beneath Vertigo.
Locating Strange Whirlpools:
Strange Whirlpools spawn randomly in the ocean, often near areas like Roslit Bay and the Statue of Sovereignty. They are marked by a vertical pillar of light extending into the sky, making them distinguishable from regular whirlpools.
Important Considerations:
Duration: Strange Whirlpools are temporary events, typically lasting around 15 minutes. Players should act swiftly upon spotting one to take advantage of the opportunities it offers.
Exiting Vertigo: Once inside Vertigo, the primary exit is by using a Conception Conch, purchasable from the NPC Synth within Vertigo. Without this item, players would need to leave the game to exit the area.
Engaging with Strange Whirlpools adds an element of adventure and discovery in Fisch, offering pathways to secret areas and the chance to catch elusive fish species.
