Fish IsleReport
English:Fish Isle · Locations
The town on the island at the continent's southern tip. Everything is still where it was left; the people who built it are not. What lives there now travels in packs of twenty to forty, and the loot is unreasonable.
Fishman Island... There's supposed to be a famous sword here... — player characters, including Crumblejon and Doctor Chung
Fish Isle is the major town of Fishman Island. Like the rest of the island, it is inhabited by Fishmen.
What it used to be
Fish Isle is completely in ruins, but before it was overrun it contained several medium sized buildings.
The interesting detail is that part of the town is surrounded by walls, which suggests it began as a smaller outpost that was eventually judged worth investing in. The expansion appears to have been rapid, and then it stopped abruptly.
Nobody stayed behind to explain what happened.
Getting there
Fishman Island lies south of the Bonefields. Despite being an island, you do not need the Swimming stat — there is a bridge to the north, identical to the one connecting Black Desert City with the Scraphouse and the one crossing the Wend north of Blister Hill.
Who is there
The island runs Fishmen Patrols of 20 to 40 Gurglers plus 0 to 3 Alpha Gurglers, as long as the King Gurgler lives. It also supports up to 6 Gurgler Nests, and stray crabs.
An ordinary Gurgler has very low stats (15 strength, 15 combat, 15 martial arts), carries no weapon, and fights with its claws using Martial Arts. Its tactic is headcount.
Alpha Gurglers are a different matter — 40 strength, 35 combat, and double the limb health and blood pool of a normal Gurgler, enough to stand toe to toe with most enemies.
Why the trip is worth it
Fish Isle spawns a lot of random loot. The town was abandoned rather than emptied — the contents are still where they were.
And there is a second objective at the island's south-western tip. The King Gurgler sits in the Island Lab with a Meitou-grade Combat Cleaver. The United Cities wanted poster charges him with the kidnapping and cannibalism of Catun residents and offers 60,000 Cats, head required as proof. Looting his Gurgler Head claims the bounty — note that taking the head from his unconscious body kills him immediately.
