How to catch Swallower

Catch Swallower at a predator fishing spot. Cast into the splash zone in the disturbed water, then retrieve the lure steadily. Rainbow Fin is the common predator bait; Flaming Belly adds trophy chance but costs Jaws and a Lily.

The chase matters as much as the fight. Reel too fast and the predator loses interest; leave the lure still too long and it does the same. Once hooked, oppose each run and reel in the pauses. Its class 3 run reaches 270 speed with 80/s line tension, so short corrections beat one long pull.

Quick rig: Rainbow Fin is the primary bait listed for Swallower. Check the recipe in the bait and tackle guide before you leave the dock.

Size classes & catch odds

Day and night odds are identical in the demo data; class 3 is the rare trophy roll.

3 classes

Class	Weight	Chance	Stamina	Tension	Speed
Class 1	2 – 3 kg	60%	100	50/s	230
Class 2	4 – 6 kg	32%	100	65/s	250
Class 3	7 – 9 kg	8%	100	80/s	270

Higher stamina means a longer fight. Higher tension means the line snaps faster if you keep reeling through a run. Speed is the fish's movement value in the demo data, not a real-world unit.

Where to find Swallower

Swallower is tied to sunken structures. The demo data lists several habitat entries for this species and marks it as always active.

Use the in-game fishing-spot prompt to confirm the target before casting. Our schematic chart shows the demo's main fishing areas, but it is a route diagram rather than a coordinate-perfect map. If the spot lists a different species, move on instead of emptying your bait bag.

Value & processing

Sale value

7 / kg

Price is per kilogram in the demo build. A class 3 fish is worth substantially more than a class 1 of the same species.

Processing

Grinder → Fish Meat

Sell whole fish when you need cash. Process when a recipe or contract needs the material, especially Chromatic Scales and Jaws.

Field notes

A mutant with more mouth than body. It hits hard and runs short; keep the drag honest. If it gets its head into a wreck, the fight becomes a waiting game, not a pulling contest.
