The Stonefish – Palia’s Camouflaged Cave Guardian
A master of disguise with textured, rocky skin that lets it blend perfectly into the cave floor. It may look like just another stone until it suddenly darts for your hook — giving every underground cast a fun surprise.
Where to Find the Stonefish in Palia (Best Locations)
The Stonefish can only be caught in the underground cave waters – not rivers, ponds, or open ocean. It spawns in multiple cave systems, so you have options depending on where you are.
Top fishing spots (easiest to reach):
- Pavel Mines Cave in Bahari Bay (the most popular and reliable spot)
- Temple of the Waves Cave (Water Temple) in Kilima Valley
- The Underground area
Pro Farming Route (fastest way to find one):
Head straight to the Pavel Mines Cave in Bahari Bay — it’s widely considered the best farming spot. Enter the cave, go to the underground water pools, and start casting with Glow Worms. Most players catch several within a reasonable number of casts here. If you’re in Kilima, the Temple of the Waves cave is a great alternative.
Pro tip: Cast your line and wait for the fish to appear before reeling. Only reel in if you see the Stonefish silhouette to save your Glow Worms!
When & How to Catch It
- Time: Any time of day (Morning, Day, Evening, or Night — no restrictions!)
- Bait: Glow Worm is by far the best. You can technically catch one without it, but your chances drop dramatically.
- Rod: Any fishing rod works; higher skill = better star-quality chance.
Rewards & Why It’s Worth Catching
Successfully landing a Stonefish nets you:
- Regular: 100 Gold
- ⭐ Star Quality: 150 Gold
Star-quality versions look incredible as aquarium decor. It’s also useful for several cave-fish bundles and counts toward many “Any Fish” cooking recipes.
In Conclusion:
The Stonefish is a quick, camouflaged common prize hidden in Palia’s darkest caves. With Glow Worms and a quick trip to the Pavel Mines in Bahari Bay (or the Temple of the Waves), you’ll be reeling them in consistently.
