You have to use Fake Fly Bait to catch the Formalo Ray, because it won't bite if you're using any other bait.

Formalo Ray Information

Archive Type and Information

Genshin - Formalo RayFormalo Ray Type Ray Fish
Region Enkanomiya
Spawn Time Anytime

A strange cartilaginous fish that was once thought to be a fantastical creature, only recorded in some ancient scrolls of art on Watatsumi Island. As the seal over Enkanomiya was opened, their true forms were laid bare before the eyes of all.
It is said that the bodily forms of these curious creatures will change color as time passes. When - they are young, they are as gold as sunlight. Later in life, however, their colors deepen, and their two 'wings' will be colored with a purple as deep as the night. Rays at this stage of life earned the name ''Formalo'' in those ancient scrolls, which means ''the maw of greed.''
