How to Catch Goliath Squid
Use Fishing Rod and Tentacle Jig Bait
Once you spot the gray-blue Goliath Squid in the water, equip a bait before releasing your fishing line. The Tentacle Jig is the best bait to use to catch the Goliath Squid but you may also catch it with the Tuff Joint bait as it is considered a Whopper. If the Goliath Squid isn't biting, try Luring the squid by bobbing the lure up and down.

| Description | |
| Huge nocturnal creatures that have eight short legs, two long tentacles, and distinctive patterning on their bodies. Goliath Squids use special luminescent organs to light up their whole body, scaring off enemies and hunting prey. Some believe it might also be a way for them to communicate with each other. They show a strong interest in Tentacle Jigs. | |
