Corrected an unsupported global pond registration limit while retaining legendary fish preservation rules
11Overview223344The Coelacanth is a rare ancient fish species in Crimson Desert. Known in the real world as a "living fossil" that was thought to be extinct for millions of years, the Coelacanth in Pywel is equally elusive. It is a large, challenging catch that sits above standard freshwater and saltwater species in both difficulty and value. A golden variant, the Golden Coelacanth, also exists as a legendary-tier catch.5566Where to Catch7788The Coelacanth is found to the west of the Cliff of Despair in the Delesyia region. This is a remote area that requires significant travel to reach. Once the species has been discovered and registered in the Knowledge Codex, its exact fishing spot can be displayed on the world map for future visits.991010Uses11111212Selling: Older notes recommended selling the Coelacanth at a vendor and compared its price with the golden variant. Version 1.08.00 prevents selling legendary fish, so that is historical advice rather than a current payout.Cooking: Older notes recommended cleaning it into Fish Fillet for cooking recipes that restore health; version 1.08.00 prevents using legendary fish, so this is not a current ingredient route.Knowledge: Fills a rare entry in the Bestiary under the Aquatic Animals category.13131414Tips15151616The Delesyia region is accessed later in the game. You may not be able to reach this fish until the story progresses sufficiently.Bring a Fine Fishing Rod if possible, as the Coelacanth is a large and powerful fish that fights hard on the line.After catching the standard Coelacanth, head to Pailune to attempt the Golden Coelacanth for an even rarer catch.171718-Version 1.08.00 prevents selling, using or discarding legendary fish and restored previously sold, used or discarded specimens to inventory. In a camp pond, legendary fish remain protected regardless of lifespan or overcapacity, and only one can be registered. Both the Coelacanth and Golden Coelacanth belong to the legendary fish group. Catching-method and location accounts remain disputed, so the older route notes above are not a newly verified current-build route.18+Version 1.08.00 prevents selling, using or discarding legendary fish and restored previously sold, used or discarded specimens to inventory.
