In the whimsical yet mysterious world of Fisch, one of Roblox’s most immersive fishing simulations, each location holds secrets, rare creatures, and unique fishing challenges. But Vertigo is unlike any other place in the game — not just because of the creatures it hides, but because of how you even get there.
Unlike other locations that are accessed by sailing to a visible island or landmark, Vertigo flips the script. Instead of looking up to the sky or out to the sea, you’ll be diving down — into a swirling, mystical whirlpool that drags you into one of Fisch’s most elusive underwater biomes.
Whether you’re a casual fisher or a dedicated completionist aiming to master the Vertigo bestiary, this guide will help you find the entrance, understand its secrets, and catch every rare and mythical fish lurking within.
🌪️ How To Reach Vertigo
Accessing Vertigo is an adventure in itself. You won’t find it marked on your GPS or plotted out with a standard map route. Instead, Vertigo exists as a submerged dimension, and reaching it involves an unusual mechanic:
✅ Step-by-step to Access Vertigo:
- Get a Boat – First, make sure you have a boat equipped. Any boat will do.
- Watch for Whirlpool Alerts – From time to time, the game will broadcast a global message that a “strange whirlpool” has appeared somewhere in the ocean.
- Look for the Beam of Light – These whirlpools can be identified by a column of light shooting from the water’s center.
- Sail to It & Jump In – When you find the strange whirlpool, don’t hesitate — jump right into its center to be teleported directly to Vertigo.
Once inside, you’ll find yourself in a dark and ethereal underwater cave system, lit faintly by strange corals and glowing rocks. Unlike other areas, Vertigo is entirely submerged, giving it a haunting, dreamlike quality.
🎣 What to Expect in Vertigo
Vertigo isn’t just mysterious in access — it’s also one of the more challenging locations to complete in of its bestiary. While the location has only one main pond for fishing, the rarity and difficulty of some of its fish make it a late-game grind zone.
Moreover, two of the rarest catches aren’t found in the pond at all, but rather in the whirlpool area before you even teleport into Vertigo.
🐟 Vertigo Bestiary – Full Fish List
Here are all the fish available in Vertigo, including bait, time, season, and conditions:
Fish | Rarity | Bait | Season | Time | Weather |
Spider Fish | Common | Any | Winter | Any | Any |
Night Shrimp | Common | Crab Cage | Winter/Summer | Day | Clear |

🔑 Special Notes:
- Isonade and The Depths Key are both found in the strange whirlpool area, not inside the pond in Vertigo. You’ll need to fish at the whirlpool before jumping in to get these two.
- The Depths Key is especially rare and is used to unlock the entrance to The Depths, a rumored hidden area with even more mythical content.
- Rubber Ducky, while seemingly silly, is one of the most difficult legendary fish to reel in, especially outside of rainy weather.
💡 Tips for Completing Vertigo Bestiary
- Bring the Right Rod: Use a Mythical Rod or at least a Luck-enhanced rod to increase your chances of pulling rare and mythical fish.
- Use Fish Radar: If you have access to Fish Radar, it can help pinpoint active spawns, especially in the strange whirlpool zone.
- Fish the Whirlpool Before Jumping In: Don’t rush to enter Vertigo. Stay a few minutes outside the whirlpool to try catching Isonade and The Depths Key.
- Farm in Foggy Weather: Several fish like Fangborn Gar have increased spawn rates during foggy conditions.
- Repeat Visits: You may need to revisit Vertigo multiple times to complete the bestiary, especially due to the low spawn chance of exotic and mythical fish.
- Time of Day Matters: Certain fish like Night Shrimp appear only during the day, while others are all-day spawns. Double-check conditions before casting your line.
🗺️ What Else is in Vertigo?
Though not as feature-rich in NPCs or gear shops as places like Sunstone or Desolate Deep, Vertigo’s atmosphere is unique. The low lighting, submerged terrain, and lack of surface all make it one of Fisch’s most immersive and eerie locations.
- No vendors or merchants — strictly a fishing and exploration zone.
- Treasure rumor: Some players speculate that catching The Depths Key and using it alongside a second hidden item may reveal another zone connected to Atlantis.
- High XP gains: Rare catches like Isonade and Rubber Ducky yield massive experience points.
🧤 Final Thoughts
Vertigo is one of the most unique and challenging locations in Fisch — a place that tests not only your fishing skills but also your patience, strategy, and understanding of rare mechanics like whirlpools and exotic bait combinations. Its lack of vendors, secretive entry method, and high-risk fishing conditions make it ideal for mid-to-late-game players looking to complete their bestiary and unlock exclusive gear and regions.
From the light-streaked whirlpool to the mythic Isonade, everything about Vertigo is designed to feel different — and more rewarding — than the rest of Fisch. If you’re up for the challenge, pack your best gear, ready your crab cages, and dive into the unknown.
