The Gloomy Crevice sits at the very bottom of the Outer Deep in Fisch, and it is packed with deep-sea oddities like eels, snailfish, and some genuinely menacing anglerfish. Clearing its bestiary means matching each fish to the right bait, weather, time of day, and season, so knowing the exact conditions saves you a lot of blind casting.
Quick answer: Dive down in front of the Nereus (Main Quest) building or set your GPS to (-14, -2461, -11733), then catch each fish using the bait, weather, time, and season listed in the table below. A Gloomy Crevice entry turns yellow in your Bestiary once you have logged every fish for the location.
Reach the Gloomy Crevice
The Gloomy Crevice is the deepest stretch of the Outer Deep. You can drop straight into it by diving down directly in front of the Nereus (Main Quest) building.
If you would rather travel there instantly, equip your GPS and head to the coordinates (-14, -2461, -11733). That puts you right at the location so you can start fishing without hunting for the entrance.
Gear you need to fish the depths
Fishing this deep leans heavily on Harpoon Guns, just like other high-pressure locations. If you are dropping in straight from the surface, bring one before you go under.
Strong picks for the Gloomy Crevice include the Relic Piercer, the Trident Striker, and the Crystal Crasher. Any of these makes reeling in the deeper catches far more manageable.
Every Gloomy Crevice fish, bait, and condition
Match the bait to each fish and fish during its listed weather, time, and season for the best odds. A dash means that condition is not required for that catch.
| Fish (Rarity) | Bait | Weather | Time | Season |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Crushed Diving Helmet (Trash) | Magnet | — | — | — |
| Bluntnose Sixgill Shark (Common) | Fish Head | Clear | Night | Winter |
| Deep-sea Anglerfish (Common) | Chitin Pellets | Clear | Night | Spring |
| Greenland Shark (Common) | Fish Head | Foggy | Day | Winter |
| Humpback Anglerfish (Common) | Chitin Pellets | Rain | Night | Autumn |
| One-jaw Eel (Common) | Squid | Rain | Night | Summer |
| Pacific Flatnose (Uncommon) | Trench Grubs | Clear | Day | Spring |
| Pacific Sleeper Shark (Uncommon) | Trench Grubs | Foggy | Night | Summer |
| Pelagic Stingray (Uncommon) | Trench Grubs | Foggy | Night | Winter |
| Shortspine Thornyhead (Uncommon) | Trench Grubs | Rain | Day | Autumn |
| Long-Barbel Snailfish (Unusual) | Crustacean Mix | Clear | Night | Autumn |
| Longnose Spiny Eel (Unusual) | Crustacean Mix | Rain | Night | Spring |
| Argosgeorgiae Snailfish (Rare) | Phosphor Jelly | Clear | Night | Spring |
| Delangle’s Eelpout (Rare) | Phosphor Jelly | Rain | Night | Winter |
| Yeti Crab (Legendary) | Bio-Infused Coral | Foggy | Night | Winter |
| Abyssal Skate (Mythical) | Luminous Flakes | Clear | Night | Summer |
A faster route through the list
Several catches share the same bait, so grouping your trips by condition cuts down the grind. Trench Grubs alone cover four of the Uncommon fish, while Chitin Pellets handle both anglerfish and Phosphor Jelly covers both Rare entries.
Night is the dominant window here, so plan your seasonal runs around it. Winter nights let you chase the Bluntnose Sixgill Shark, Pelagic Stingray, Delangle’s Eelpout, and Yeti Crab in overlapping sessions, and a clear Summer night is the only time the Mythical Abyssal Skate appears.
Note: The Crushed Diving Helmet is a Trash item pulled with a Magnet and has no weather, time, or season requirement, so grab it whenever it is convenient.
Confirming your progress
Open your Bestiary with the H key and select the Gloomy Crevice page to check what you still need. Fish you have not caught yet show up as dark silhouettes, and each caught fish records its weather, bait, time, and season along with your largest catch.
Once every entry for the location is logged, the page text turns yellow to mark full completion. Only fish you catch yourself count toward that percentage, so anything received through trading will not fill in the page for you. Line up the seasons and weather in advance, keep the right bait stocked, and the Gloomy Crevice becomes one of the more predictable deep-sea pages to close out.
