⚠⚠⚠ PATCH 6.0+ UPDATE: During the Mooch of Indigo Prismfish and Firelight Goldfish, you should use Triple Hook (if you have it) instead of Double Hook. This will get you the 3 you need for intuition, meaning you only need 1 bite of each fish.

Text Guide:
Indigo Prismfish/Firelight Goldfish:
Indigo/Firelight fish are a ! bite off a mooch of Violet/Red Prismfish (respectively) Cast out and reel in every !! bite which isn’t part of a mooch. It’s very difficult to identify the Violet/Red Prismfish, so you should catch every !! bite. When a mooch is active, use it. If, on mooch, the bite is a !, and you have 0-1 of the fish you need, use Double Hook if not under Patience. It is recommended to use Patience I while Mooch II is on cooldown, as it better facilitates use of Double Hook. If you have at least 2 of the desired fish (Indigo/Firelight), then you can just use the Precision Hookset to catch the third you need. It is possible you will not get all the fish you need for in a single window.
Green Prismfish:
Green Prismfish are a ! bite and a straight catch, they are the only straight ! bite at the pool. If you have no Green Prismfish, use Double Hook on a ! bite if possible. Follow up by using Identical Cast, then cast out again and Double Hook a second time. Use a cordial or, if time allows, wait for your GP to regen to use Double Hook a second time. This leaves you with 4 Green Prismfish. If time allows AND you have the prerequisite 3 Firelight Goldfish and 3 Indigo Prismfish, you should wait for your GP to regen to max and for cordials to come off cool down. Either way, cast out again until you get a ! bite, your final Green Prismfish. If all conditions were met, this will trigger your Fishers Intuition.
Warden of the Seven Hues:
Once Fisher’s Intuition is triggered, use Surface Slap on any non-mooched fish as soon as possible. Use Chum as much as possible. Do not reel in any bite that is not a !!!. This ensures that Surface Slap is continually up. The Intuition lasts 2.5 minutes. If you get a !!! hook it. It may get away, continue to try as much as you can while Intuition is up.

——
Warden of the Seven Hues is one of the most highly sought after fish due to it’s vibrant colors, rarity and ability to be placed into an aquarium. It’s recommended you plan to fish Warden around the availability of Green Prismfish, as they are the weather and time dependent limiting fish. Even with proper planning and good luck, it can take an extremely long time, a minimum for 45-60 minutes, to proc the intuition for the chance to catch Warden. Warden is a balance between elusive and slippery, making it a very difficult fish to catch, but comes with a rewarding pay-off.
Goodluck and Happy Fishing!

This is a REUPLOAD of my Warden of the Seven Hues Guide. The version fixes the incorrect information regarding what you can and can not do while building Intuition Progress.
2:40 looks like the namazu wants to bite 😀
This is incredibly helpful, thank you! 😀
PATCH 6.0 UPDATE (SPOILER FREE)
When catching Indigo and Firelights, instead of using Double Hook on ! bites mooched off their respective fish, instead use the Lv.90 Skill.
If under Lv90, continue to use Double Hook.
When do I start fishing for the fish for intuition/how long should I start before the warden is available? Like say 2 of the fish are available soon but the last fish isn't available until Warden is already up. Can I get the fish that are gonna be up, stay in the area, then get the last fish during his window to trigger buff? Sorry I'm kind of new to trying to get special fish. and confused.
You can further increase your odds of catching the Warden if you get all your required fish but green. Catch 4 green and do an identical cast. Wait until the last moment of the Green's window to catch your last green. Now your pool for fish is the 2 always up and warden, slap away one and now it's just an always up plus the warden.
I keep getting the trash prism fish like yellow and blue
I got the buff, and I was like "oh yes, finally!" And then I lost the buff and I didn't get the warden and then I realize, "oh… this is a thing that can happen"… and you have to start all over again to get the buff and now I understand grinding D:
Can you log out, or will that reset the fish yo u've caught?
Do we have to catch the fish in order to activate fishers intuition?
i'm not sure if they have changed it or not but i was there today, spearfishing between the timers and the intuition still kicked in but sadly seven hues didn't even bite lol
pretty much the perfect guide for this. nice formatting and presentation. Also i love the yanxia bgm
I'm confused by how Carbuncle Plushy lists the timer for Warden. Isn't it technically always available in the sense of having no weather or time requirements? So it's just based on the availability of the fish needed for Intuition.
But the first time I went for it, it listed Warden as being available for 3 minutes after the green fish window ended, so I felt comfortable waiting until the last moment to catch the last green fish and I didn't get any ! bites during the buff window.
However, the next time I tried, the tracker listed Warden's availability as ending at the exact same moment as the green fish window. So I trusted the timer and this time a few ! bites ruined my day. What gives?
hey fruity, can u share the macro u are using? or maybe point me to where i can get em? thanks
So… after doing all this tedious process, I got nervous when I finally got the buff, and missed my chance at catching the damn fish because it got away (it only bit once and then I lost the buff). Do I need to repeat the whole tedious process again in order to get the buff?
20+ bites on this guy and still no catch 🙁
Tried for this fish first time today and was able to catch it thanks to this guide! Thanks!!
Sad that it's far too big even for the largest fish tank. The poor thing just floats there, practically unable to move.
I looked through all of your vids there is none for shrieker please add this 🙂
