The Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom stealthfin trout is a required material to fully upgrade the Stealth armor set and to complete the Hyrule Compendium. But like the name suggests, this fish is stealthy and difficult to find unless you know their location and where they spawn in TotK. Zelda fans will recognize the stealthfin trout from Breath of the Wild and may know that there are some tricks in catching the elusive fish. Here’s where to farm and catch the stealthfin trout in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
Where is the stealthfin trout location in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom?
The stealthfin trout is primarily found around Mekar Island, which is found to the west of Korok Forest and the Lost Woods, but can be generally found throughout the southwestern part of the ring of water that surrounds the forest.
The best method to finding the stealthfin trout is during nighttime when the fish glows pink. During the day, the fish looks blue, which at least distinguishes it from the Mighty Porgy and Staminoka Bass which both have a reddish tint. But it doesn’t glow in daytime.
To farm the fish, you will want to move in a large path that encompasses the entire southwestern part of this body of water. This is because fish will only reappear if you are sufficiently far away enough from their spawn points. A handy image from a user on Reddit shows places where you can find the fish.
To catch the stealthfin trout, as there is no fishing pole in the game, we recommend crafting a raft with a Shock Emitter or using a Yellow Chuchu Jelly. You can find more information on why the raft is the fastest fishing method in TotK, but suffice it to say, the Shock Emitter creates a lightning AoE spread that kills most fish in an instant just by moving toward any fish along the surface of the water.
Since you’ll need 10 stealthfin trout to fully upgrade the Stealth Mask, Stealth Chest Guard, and Stealth Tights, the electric raft is the better solution here. It also won’t be as much as of a dent on your resources as throwing bombs and jellies at the fish.
