The Hunt for the Goldenfish Begins

If you share my gaming habits, it’s likely that you’re aiming to complete every mission in Monster Hunter World. Although most tasks are quite straightforward, usually involving hunting a particular monster, there’s a group of side missions where you need to catch fish for an NPC named Kanya. You can find her near a small lake at the main camp in Scarlet Forest.

The initial task she assigns is quite simple since the fish you need can be found in the same fishing spot she’s currently at. However, the second quest, called “Finding the Goldenfish,” isn’t as straightforward. She provides a clue about the fish preferring cold and dark environments, but beyond that, you’re on your own to decipher the rest. Fortunately, there are numerous cold and dim caves you might stumble upon. Although the Goldenfish is found in various locations worldwide, one particular spot at the Scarlet Forest offers a higher likelihood of finding one. We discovered the Goldenfish in the forest during the Farrow weather, with morning being an ideal time.

In Zone 8, the area you’ll likely want to head towards has a Mining Outcrop. You can mark this spot as a destination for your Seikret to guide you efficiently.

Upon arrival, you’ll discover a waterfall that offers a secret passage beneath it, leading to a hidden cave. Continuing along the trail will lead you to a swimming hole where you can take a dip. Jump in, and upon resurfacing, you’ll find a previously unseen fishing spot waiting for you.

In this game world, I stumbled upon the shimmering Goldfish – a golden-hued creature swimming gracefully. Unlike usual, catching it wasn’t as simple as using a net; for our quest’s completion, we needed to snag it with a fishing rod instead. The secret to reeling in the elusive Goldfish? None other than the coveted Golden Bughead bait! Once I managed to hook it, I made my way back to Kanya and claimed my well-deserved reward!
