There are many types of fish in Stardew Valley, and Legendaries are the rarest of them. There are five types in total, and Mutant Carp is one of them.
In the game, we can only catch one in cooperative mode, and we can only get one per save. Such a precious fish makes it more favored by fishing enthusiasts.
But getting Mutant Carp is not entirely based on luck. We have found many ways to get it. Next, this guide will take you to explore how to catch it in the game.
Where Is It Easier To Catch Mutant Carp?
When the fishing level reaches level 6, you can try it on the beach east of Hat Shop. Walk south from Leah’s Cottage and cross a few bridges to see this beach.
It is said that children often hear strange noises when playing near the small waterway grating. Maybe we are looking for Mutant Carp.
But if you want to know what is in the small waterway, you need its key, and this key is kept by Gunther, the curator of the museum and library. You need to bring him a level 60 artifact before he gives you the key.
In this game, Artifacts include Minerals, prehistoric items, and other Stardew Valley Items you can find in the wild or obtain in Geodes. Collecting them is also a bit difficult, so don’t expect to collect them quickly.
Once you have the key, finding Mutant Carp will become very easy. You can go fishing in the sewer. It will take about 10 to 15 attempts to catch it, so be patient. Moreover, it is an agile fish, so a good fishing rod and Trap Bobber will make it easier to succeed.
The chance of catching Legendaries in the sewage in the sewer is 10%, but you can increase the chance by 10% to 20% by using Curiosity Lure.
In addition, the season, time of day, and weather have no effect on catching this fish, so you don’t have to consider these factors. The only requirement is that you have reached the level 6 fishing skill, so make sure to improve this skill as soon as possible.
How To Catch Multiple Mutant Carps?
In this game, you can only catch one Mutant Carp using normal fishing methods, but here is a little trick that allows you to catch several at once.
The trick is to use Challenge Bait, which can catch up to three at a time, but you must use it at the beginning, because if you have already caught a Mutant Carp once, you will not be able to catch it again that day.
Usage Of Mutant Carp
In the game, Mutant Carp can be used in many ways. You can farm it in Fish Pond, which is an alternative version of the second generation Legendary Trophies. You can also trade it for 1000 to 3000g, but the specific price depends on its rarity.
In addition, it can be used to make Maki Rolls, Sashimi, Quality Fertilizer and Green Dye. The most recommended thing is to breed it, because it will produce a lot of fish eggs for you, so you don’t have to go through so much trouble to remove it later.
