Guide to Acquiring the Hippocampus in Disney Dreamlight Valley

For fishing enthusiasts, Disney Dreamlight Valley offers a vast array of aquatic life to catch, especially fans of the new Storybook Vale expansion. This update introduces several new fish species, including the elusive Hippocampus, found exclusively within the enchanting biomes of the game.

Hippocampus is an essential ingredient not just for crafting various recipes but also plays a critical role in completing the “A Moth to a Flame”story quest associated with Hades. However, locating and catching this creature can be a challenge for players unfamiliar with the underwater landscapes of Dreamlight Valley. This guide provides straightforward instructions on how to successfully fish for Hippocampus.

Catching Hippocampus in Dreamlight Valley

Your adventure to catch Hippocampus begins in the Mythopia biome, a captivating area introduced in the latest update. This gorgeous locale is the only known habitat for this sea creature, making it essential to unlock Mythopia first. You can do this by collecting and giving Merida 2,000 Story Magic. If you’re short on Story Magic, completing various Storybook Duties is a great way to gather the necessary points.

Once you’ve accessed Mythopia, navigate to one of the numerous bodies of water on the map. Look closely for white ripples on the surface, as these signify areas where fish are more likely to bite. While these ripples often indicate the presence of common fish, patience and persistence will lead to a successful catch of the Hippocampus.

To increase your chances of catching this unique creature, consider bringing a fishing companion along. By selecting the ‘Let’s Hang Out’ option with a villager who specializes in fishing, you can potentially double your catches. Note that you’ll need to have at least friendship level two to utilize this feature.
