Taimen - Petit Planet Creature

At a glance

How to catch Taimen

Use the Fishing Rod. The exact approach depends on the creature’s category and, for shore-dwellers, its species type.

1. Cast the Fishing Rod into the right water: rivers and lakes for freshwater fish, coastal waters for saltwater fish.
2. Wait for the nibbles, then strike when the line bites down.
3. Higher-quality saltwater fish need a slow reel-in. Keep the line from snapping instead of holding the button down.

The taimen is also known as the common taimen.

However, it is anything but "common" as a large carnivorous fish.

The taimen's legendary size and elusive nature once led to rumors that it was the authentic "lake cryptid." However, like most cryptid legends, without concrete evidence, the taimen's cryptid status remains speculative.
