How to catch Golden Pinecone Fish
Use the Fishing Rod. The exact approach depends on the creature’s category and, for shore-dwellers, its species type.
- Cast the Fishing Rod into the right water: rivers and lakes for freshwater fish, coastal waters for saltwater fish.
- Wait for the nibbles, then strike when the line bites down.
- Higher-quality saltwater fish need a slow reel-in. Keep the line from snapping instead of holding the button down.
First catch: the creature is added to the Omnidex. Offer it to Mors at the Omni-Gallery to put it on display and unlock its Omnipedia entry.

Deep Sea Zone · Monocentris japonica
The golden pinecone fish's scales have evolved into hard armor. Some bioluminescent bacteria cling to them, swimming around with the fish.
If you encounter a glowing "pineapple" while diving, remember to stay calm — it's likely just a harmless golden pinecone fish.
