Shonisaurus is one of six fish used in the Feast and Famine quest, which gives the “
 of Dragons Deep” title. It is a straight forward double mooch chain. Start off by using Patience (Patience II is ideal, but I can work if Patience II isn’t unlocked), and casting out. Cloud Cutters are the start of the mooch chain and are a short !! bite, use Powerful Hookset to catch. Mooch the Cloud Cutter and only reel in the !!! bite; use Powerful Hookset. This is Mahar, which you should mooch. The next bite will be a !!! bite, Shonisaurus. Once again, use Powerful Hookset to catch. If it gets away, refresh your Patience buff and start the mooch chain again with another Cloud Cutter.

đŸŒ±FFXIV Free Trial Fishers:
You’ll need to use Patience I the entire time to enable more mooch attempts. Might take some luck to get the HQ chain of fish you need, but it is doable. Hi-cordials help!

  1. I used a fish tracker app online, to see the next available one to humor myself because I got extremely lucky my first attempt at it. If I missed it, I would've had to wait a full irl day for another one. Keep this in mind for anyone who wants to do the Feast of Famine Quest, I highly recommend looking up a fish tracker app while doing these, or if you're going for all of the fish! Unfortunately, there's more fish where the windows will only occur every other day (on average) the worst one I saw was the Ruby Dragon, which last I saw was 9 days later before it was available again! The other annoying window out of the six fish required for The Feast of Famine is the helicorpion, last I checked, I could only see about one chance per day. I am visiting family at the moment and won't be able to catch him until I get home, hopefully I get lucky and the window will appear soon after lol

  2. Thanks for the video! I watched all your other ones for the Feast of Famine quest too! The wiki for the one in Eastern La Noscea on the ship said the fish needs to be mooched, but thanks to you I saved some time on that. I wonder if the wiki is wrong on this one too? It says that there needs to be a weather chain from clear or fair skies to blizzard. Does anyone know if that's true? Or is just blizzard enough?
