Helicoprion is one of the six fish used in the Feast of Famine quest. It’s mooched of of Storm Rider, and shares a !!! bite, and similar bite time with Magic Carpet.
Start off by casting into Sagolii Desert with Sand Leeches. You’ll need to mooch a Storm Rider, a short to medium length !! bite. You can usually reset your cast after about 12-14 seconds after casting. Once you get a Storm Rider, mooch it with the active mooch. Helicoprion is a decently long !!! bite off the Storm Rider mooch; you can let any other bites go. Continue to mooch storm riders until you get a !!! bite. If Mooch II is on cool down, use Patience I or II to increase the chances of HQ Storm Riders. Storm Riders are a !!! bite.
Once you get a !!! bite, use Hook or Powerful Hookset to catch — it’ll either be Helicoprion or Magic Carpet, assuming it bites. Helicoprion can easily get away. If it’s Magic Carpet, you can desynthesize it down potentially into a valuable Footwear glam! If it’s Helicoprion, congratulations! One more Feast of Famine Fish down.

This is the last one I need for "…of Dragon's Deep" I managed to get the other five in one night, now I gotta wait till I'm back home for a chance to finish this
No way u did it God bless you 🙏u do listen
Thank you so much now lets see if luck will smile or spit on me! Lol
Could you kindly do Namitaro next? They say it's easier idk lol
I love all your videos, I always look for them for these fish
6 years doing thiss quest and still no luck
i love your videos keep it up
I really appreciate these but i cant for the life of me get fog or clouds into heatwave feelsbadman
I hate trying to catch this, everytime i get a !!! bite, its either a magic carpet or the fish gets away…
By far the most annoying fish out of the 3 that you need for Feast of famine quest.
does it have to be between 8am-8pm Eorzea time?
Dude I got it last night at 3AM, this one took me like a month and a half the rest a few days lol.
I'm kinda sad it is over though.. He eluded me for a long while. I maxed my gear to 2K gath as well for him and couldn't hook him for weeks xD Made a lot of good fishermen friends along the way though, maybe that's why it wouldn't hook 🙂
Thanks for all the help Fruity your videos are insanely helpful <3
Hey Fruity, I must start by saying your videos are great.
I'm stuck on getting all the feast fish and I'm no expert on the gear I should have. How do you get your GP so high? Mine is just below 500. Could you do a video on your gear and how to get GP up or what other attributes / materia I should be using. My fisher level is 75 but like I said I am no expert on the fisher.
Did this one in about 2 minutes in the first window lol. First !!! bite I caught it
Thank you very much. ^_^
5 windows I have yet to even see it.
Hey quick question, as far as weather chains are concerned, if the weather goes, say, fog=> heat wave => heat wave, does the second heat wave still counts as part of the weather chain ? Couldn't seem to get an answer asking google and I figured this vid might be as good a place as any to ask.
I caught this bad boy today. I believe in the Fruity Snacks' teachings….
aaaaaaaaaaaaa I FINALLY CAUGHT IT, the last one! after 5 days in total of attempts. this one was the hardest for me…especially that it shares a !!! bite with another fish omg. finally I got the title! in total it took me a week, but i would never have been able to do this without your videos explaining all the required fish. I've got the title now! Thanks so much for your efforts, it really helped. was a nice journey <3
[Plays dead] Let me try this again when the window is back up in a day…lol
This was the last fish I needed. Used your guides for all of them, thank you so much to making these videos. No way could I have done this without a visual help like them.
P.s. This fish caused me so much grief. The spawn window was always at like 2-4am for me. 😢
Wait so do i get this correct : you need it to be Foggy/Cloudy (@0:00–08:00 preferably ) and then have a Heatwave following that (08:00–16:00) in wich you than can have him bite ? ^^"
