How to Complete the Fishipedia in How to Fish

Missing early-game creatures (islands 1–2)

• Goby was added to the verified catalog in the September 2026 audit — it was in the guide databases but missing from this site before. Catch it on island 2 with the Beginner Lure. Its Drip Goby variant has no reliable public catch report yet.
• Pike (regular fish) vs The Old Pike (boss-class) are two different entries: the Pike takes the Free or Beginner Lure; the Old Pike needs the Beginner Boss Lure or the $150 Shotgun — full Old Pike guide.
• Sunfish is boss-class, not a regular fish — it shares the Beginner Boss Lure pool with the Old Pike.

Missing island-specific creatures (islands 3–4)

• Island 3 (desert) rows all take the Standard Lure; island 4 (sky) rows all take the Professional Lure. If you are fishing the wrong tier, the fish cannot appear.
• Bowlfish is flagged in the data layer: only Mobalytics lists it (G2A lists just Boxfish) — its species status rests on a single source.
• Rows like Bass, Eel, Red Snapper, Bluegill were corrected in the September 2026 audit — older copy placed them in fabricated zones. The island + lure in this checklist are the verified versions.

Missing boss / special creatures

All 11 boss-class entries are in the checklist with their island and trigger. The four story gates (Spider Crab, Giant Piranha, Pufferfish, Albatross) and the two whales each have dedicated guides. Blue Shark, Tuna, Goblin Shark and Sunfish have their verified facts in the boss hub but no dedicated page yet — their rows above are the full documented answer.

Missing quest-gated creatures

Quest names come from the verified quest layers — e.g. “Fish Bucket → Bowhead Whale → Mutated Bowhead Whale → Finish”. A creature you cannot reach is usually a gate you have not cleared: see the island unlock order and what to do next.

• Update the game. Official patch 1.0.5 fixed the Fishipedia unlock (it previously required all drip creatures plus one extra). Nothing about the achievement changed in 1.0.10–1.0.12.
• Check which counter you are grinding. Collector (“find and kill all the creatures”, 10.8%) and Fishipedia (“find and kill all drip creatures”, 1.4%) are separate achievements — a normal catch does not move the drip counter.
• Drip entries use the normal lure. If you are grinding with a specialized “drip” loadout, stop — the same lure as the normal version is the only documented method.
• If every slot looks filled and it still won’t pop, see the Drip Fish guide and the achievements guide, which track the remaining reported unlock cases.
