pale reach aberration

[treacherous twink]

is anyone else severely struggling to catch the colossal squid aberration? i have the radiant trawl you get from the main quest and have been riding around for nearly an hour with no luck :(

EDIT: finally got it after 30 more minutes or so. complaining works

[Jyvrer]

same. I've just been listening to music while riding.

Edit: I got it

[treacherous twink]

me too lol, just been riding in circles around the ice area and listening to music. glad you got it!!

Sorry for stealing all your luck, literally the second one I caught was an aberration.

For actual advice to everyone else, I think Aberration Catch bonus from rods might affect the net? The net changes the total stats so I think it should. Just stack the aberrant fishing implements and find the new Figure (his book is nice regardless)

Do you remember where did you found it?

I've found the colossal squid aberration shortly after equipping the radiant trawl, I think I found him either in the main area near the first frozen corpse you find, or near the pontoon.

i'm not sure where i caught it exactly, but i'm pretty positive you can catch it basically anywhere within the ice area. i was doing circles around the island and catching colossal squids pretty consistently, it's all luck based on actually catching the aberration of it. the book and radiant trawl help immensely though

posting here to boost my luck rate as well, already have a lot of things equipped that boost the aberration rate. And listening to the Dredge song by Dan Bull ^^

EDIT: It did help, 6 minutes later and I got it :D

Go big on increasing the Aberration bonus, Radiant Trawl +5, Encrusted Talisman +3, Viscera Crane +2.5, Sinew Spindle +1.5, Book of Astral Symbols +4;

Lol last thing I need as well, hope I catch it soon!
