Stardew Valley: How To Catch Void Salmon

There are a lot of strange fish in Stardew Valley. From Blobfish found during submarine dives to the ultra-rare legendary fish, some players set off to catch every fish in the game. Doing so requires catching the mysterious Void Salmon. Void Salmon are hard to catch fish that can be found at any time during any season.

Void Salmon are great fish to place in Fish Ponds, as they can produce Void Essence and Void Eggs. They're also a possible item in The Missing Bundle. With the right skills, an iridium quality Void Salmon can sell for 450g. You can add a Void Salmon to the Sewing Machine to make the Fishing Hat.

Where To Carch Void Salmon

Like the Goby in Stardew Valley, Void Salmon is unique compared to most other fish; you can only catch Void Salmon in one location. You won't be able to start your Void Salmon Fish Pond until you unlock the Witch's Swamp. The Witch's Swamp is a secret area accessed by the Railroad, leading to the magical Witch's Hut.

By the time you get to the Witch's Swamp, you should have an Iridium Rod to better help your chances of catching this highly difficult fish. If you don't have an Iridium Rod yet, make sure to buy one.

Once you've gotten into the Witch's Swamp, throw your fishing line into the blue waters and wait for a bite. You'll likely catch a lot of Void Mayonnaise; if it is raining, you may even get a Catfish. However, on a typical day, the Void Salmon is the only fish in the waters of the Witch's Swamp. It has a Difficulty of 80 but Mixed behavior, so if you are a skilled fisherman, you should quickly obtain your first Void Salmon.

How To Catch Void Salmon

The Witch's Swamp is closed off to players in the early parts of Stardew Valley. In fact, even the area where you enter the Witch's Swamp is closed off until an earthquake clears the way. When you enter the Railroad, you should see a cave blocked off by a small house on chicken legs in the upper right corner. This is the Witch's Swamp entrance, but it will not be available without some work.

If you want to clear the way to the Witch's Swamp, you first have to complete the Community Center or Joja Warehouse in Stardew Valley. While this will take a while, it is one of the main achievements of the game and should keep you well entertained. Once you've completed one or the other, head to the Railroad for a cutscene with the Wizard. Afterward, he'll give you the 'Dark Talisman' quest to get into the Witch's Swamp.

To complete the 'Dark Talisman' quest, speak to Krobus in the Sewers, and he will direct you to the Mutant Bug Lair. This special dungeon is accessed at the top of the slime trail to the far left of the Sewers. The talisman you need is somewhere in the Mutant Bug Lair. Once you find it, head back to the Railroad, and you'll unlock both the Witch's Swamp and Void Salmon in Stardew Valley.
