Finding Goblin Sharks?

[Hannibal Lahr]

They're the one DLC fish I still need to find an aberration for other than the colossal squid. I find them so rarely that I'm not sure if there is any pattern to where they spawn or if it's entirely random. Anyone able to confirm on wya or another?

They're near the monster claws and its head.

By chance do you know what the map coordinates for that are? I've been marking down every place I've seen a goblin shark spawn more than once on my in-game map.

Not precisely. All those locations have ports near them, and those are marked on the map.

May I suggest you look in the guides? They're often faster to get information out of than the forums.

There's this good one for finding all aberrations, which therefore includes information on how to find "regular" goblin sharks: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2956364322

Appreciated but unfortunately the spots they mentioned are all ones I've made part of my hunting route (and usually there's nothing there). Normally I do go to guides first, but haven't had luck so figured I might as well shout out to the discussion void and see if anyone had a vital clue.

You know where you get the ice maker? A little South and East is a spawn point for Goblin Sharks. Basically, the middle of G -3.

Oops. Just checked on the map. It is on the west side of G -3

Oh, wait. You are just looking for chance to spawn an aberration. Choose one spawn point. Launch yourself from the pontoon you are sitting at, go directly to that spot, fish for the creature you are looking for. When you hook the target, the game randomly generates whether it will be normal or aberration and whether it is normal sized or is big enough to qualify as a record size. When you pull it onto the boat, it tells you what you caught. If it isn't what you are after, exit the game and restart. You are back at the pontoon, no time has passed and you still need that one fish. Go back to the sight. Fish again. Keep doing that till you get the Grisly Shark (Goblin Shark aberration).

Or... you can always use Atrophy.

Yeah, and if you can't find a currently populated goblin shark spot to atrophy, go to approximately where one might be, and try dropping mixed bait then using atrophy. (that's how I got the aberrant moonfish)

Atrophy ended up working. Honestly I hadn't played the game since getting the platinum when it came out, so I forgot some of the final details. Convenient stumbled into my first aberration colossal squid immediately afterwards, so that's the DLC wrapped up!

This was my last one, I just sailed around the outskirts of the reach using a radiant trawl net until I got it, hope this helps!
