Daily Onsen Eggs in Heartopia

Here's a step-by-step guide to finding and photographing all 16 eggs in Heartopia's Onsen Egg Promise quest.

How to unlock Frostspore Whale Shark

Frostspore Whale Shark is one legendary level event fish exclusively for the winter frost season. Unlike other Frostspore fish, the whale shark cannot be caught by regular fishing alone. It only appears under a specific phase of the Frostspore Fishing Event.

As such, you must unlock the Frostspore Fishing Events before you can catch the Frostspore Whale Shark. To do this, head to Onsen Mountain and talk to Vanya, the fishing hobby mentor.

During the Winter Frost Event, she moves to north shore. When you talk to her, choose one of the first two dialogue options related to the winter frost season. Vanya gives you a short quest focused on the strange frozen water that surrounds you Heartopia.

After completing this mission, Frostspore Fishing Events become available on your server. These events are free to join and start daily at 18.00 (server time).

How to catch the Frostspore Whale Shark

The Frostspore Whale Shark can only appear during an active Frostspore Fishing Event in the Old Sea, near Onsen Mountain.

However, the whale shark does not spawn in all events. During the fishing pass, there is the possibility of a special “Lucky” extra phase to trigger. When this happens, a message will appear on the screen saying that there is “hidden movement in the water.”

This message is what you need to wait for. If you don't see it, the Frostspore Whale Shark will not spawn during that event, no matter how long you fish.

Make sure you have enough space in your backpack and enough food for energy before fishing for the Frostspore Whale Shark.

Once the Lucky phase begins, Frostspore Whale Shark has one random chance to spawn among the available fish shadows. It uses a very large shadow, making it easier to identify compared to other event fish.

Using Mermaid Fish Attractors and Perfume can both increase your chances of catching Frostspore Whale Shark during the Limited Lucky Phase.

Even with perfect preparation, this fish is extremely rare, so don't be discouraged if it doesn't appear right away.
