Angler/Quests

Below is a list of quests given by the Angler, as well as the biome and layer, where each can be caught. Only one Angler Quest can be completed per Terraria day (4:30 am-4:29am) after that you must wait until the following day to get another quest.

Tips

 * Pay extra attention to the chart above if you're on console or mobile, as the location information given by the Angler is occasionally incomplete or inaccurate (e.g. he claims the Slimefish can be caught anywhere, and he claims the Fallen Starfish cannot be caught on the surface).
 * Quest Fish are the only items that cannot be picked up if there is one already in the inventory. However, they can be moved into the inventory from a storage item (shift-clicking and other "auto" features will not work).
 * To collect more than one of a quest fish, the player must store each fish in a storage item as it is caught; later they can be moved back to the inventory. One quest fish can also be stored in the inventory's trash slot.
 * This works similar to the Encumbering Stone.
 * Unlike the Bomb Fish, the Dynamite Fish does not function as a stick of Dynamite. Indeed, no quest fish has any use beyond the Angler's quests.
