The fish is in the recess, behind the Plunderers. Important: This fish is very rare, so you will have to come into this place in Expedition Mode, to leave, and to come back until it appears. You may need several hours to catch that creature…

Hint: use a good bait like the Bait But to be sure to catch this fish when it appears (picture19). Then, talk with the Piscine Researcher to get Gold Wyverian Print as a reward (picture20).
