Humboldt Squid?

[Jadith]

I have a challenge coming up and it requires humboldt squid. Is this a special fish that will pop up on the maps somewhere or is it hiding in a place where I havent discovered yet? Know where they are?

I've only found it once so far, but the Marinca entry says it only appears at night time (IDR if I caught it at night...) but I do know I found it in the Depths (2nd 'level' of the map, after the shallows). I remember finding it right by the entrance to a cave system. IDR if it was the seaweed map or not...

if anyone is wondering it does appear on night. btw am i the only one the had a bug where it showed the white shrimp is at 150 m when instead it was at the glacial area im also pretty sure it shows at night

I've had white shrimp in the deep sea as expected, to the point where after enhancing the recipe to level 8 I still have like 200.

I found it in 30 meters at night

To people who come to this post and still looking for this squid, if you can't find it around 30m, go deeper, mine appeared around 60m at night, none seaweed map.

Hey, I know you! <3

I found mine at like 100m. The fish scanner (up button on the gamepad) counts it as Blue Hole Medium Depth.

Found mine about 120 meters down right up against the the left wall of the map.

yep, i found two on the first night that these became available. One down near the yellow shipwreck and the other on the other side of the map at a shallower depth in the medium depth biome.

I imagine everyone in this thread has this sorted out by now, but i'll leave this here for others searching for the answer.

In my experience some fish will not spawn at all before certain story events take place. If you can't find a particular fish, as often as not this is the reason. In fact, the seaweed biome zone and seaweed won't appear before you progress the story enough.

I believe the humbolt squid and the white shrimp are both like this. I will say what I think the story event is the trigger behind the spoiler tag as minimally as possible. After you fight jon watson in the deep ocean. he is wearing armor and you have to knock his own bombs back at him
