Magmafish FAQ
What bait catches Magmafish?
Hot Fishing Bait. No other bait works — Valheim decides the catch from the hook, not the location, so fishing the right water with the wrong bait returns nothing.
Where do you find Magmafish?
In Ashlands water, between 1.5 and 3 metres deep. Shallower than that and it will not be there; the float has to sit over water that deep.
Where do you catch Magmafish?
In the Ashlands, between 1.5 and 3 of water. Depth is the real gate — casting into the shallows of the right biome catches nothing if the fish only lives deep.
How much stamina does reeling in Magmafish cost?
18 per pull, against a pull strength of 10. Run out of stamina mid-fight and the line goes slack and the fish escapes, so eat before a long session rather than during one.
Does Magmafish drop anything besides the fish?
Yes: Surtling Core, Grausten, Flametal Ore. That comes off the same catch rather than from a separate roll, so it is free.
