In Stardew Valley, getting an octopus can be as tricky as catching the Legend Fish, but there are ideal methods to get them. If you manage to get octopus, you can make the recipes of sashimi, maki sushi, or quality fertilizer to help you grow quality crops, so prepare your trusty fishing rod and plenty of bait to get your hands on this mollusk.
Stardew Valley: Where and How To Get an Octopus?
To catch an octopus and make it as easy as possible in Stardew Valley, you need to follow these basic recommendations:
The Season and Hour Are Crucial
The octopus is a creature that can be caught only in summer and winter. It is also a creature that is most active early in the day, between 6 am and 1 pm. Another great time to catch an octopus is during the Stardew Valley Night Market Festival.
Improve Your Skills and Your Equipment
Practice makes perfect, so it is best to raise your fishing level until you reach level 10 constantly. But at level 6, you can buy the Iridium Rod for 7,500g from Willy’s Fish Shop.
Get the Strength
You can’t stay focused when you’re hungry, so before your big day of fishing, make sure you eat a dish with a fishing boost like:
- Dish O’ The Sea +3 Fishing
- Seafoam Pudding +4 Fishing
- Fish Stew +3 Fishing
Help Your Rod
In Willy’s Fish Shop, you can get accessories for your rod to help you catch this octopus, but you must also be level 6 to buy or craft them. The best attachments for catching this specimen are:
- Trap bobber – 500g
- Cork bobber – 750
The Place
The best spot to catch the octopus is on the coast of Ginger Island West, but you can only access this place after completing the community center and repairing Willy’s boat. If you haven’t finished those tasks yet, you can go to the western dock by the biggest rock.
These tips on how to catch an octopus should make your day of fishing in Stardew Valley much more manageable, but the best tip is to be persistent and patient. Remember that this mollusk is very difficult to find, but Duke The Porcupine has a video that can help you.
