This was the last trophy I was missing and I was having a hard time going on the mixed info from 16 year old forums lol. Thanks for the video! Love the style and humor, too!
Alternatively if minions are being a little hard to get. You can replace them with gooey peaches or mellow Banana's sure the fish wont bite them hard enough to reel in. But it also Attracts everything in the oasis that isn't a Mardan/Baron Garyan so any fish that isn't interested in it is one of the 2 fish. I Say mellow bananas and Gooey peaches is its actually bait they can be bought at Lana's Store for 80 Gilda to buy just 1 and you really only need one to see if the fish in the oasis is interested in it. My younger brother and I love this game so as you would guess we devise Strategies on how to catch them illusive fish.
You gotta love DC's logic: Toan throws Mardan back into the water, but the mf just attaches itself to the Atlamillia or something like that. Like "I bestow upon thee the power of *f i s h* "
Thanks! I'll try again. Looks like the trophy pops as soon as you're able to pull on the line so you should know before the fish even comes out of the water 👍👍.
No problem. You know, I think you are the first one to comment on the little bit of humour I threw in there. To be honest, up until now I was kind of regretting throwing that bit in, but if it made at least one person laugh, it was totally worth it. ;)
I thought the humour really fit in well, none of it was forced lol like the zoom in on the fish killed me and the "gooooooooooal!" But other then that it was really informative too, like all of the special traits fish liked or didn't like, great video 10/10 would zoom on fish again
Took me like 2 hours. Had just beat the game and had just lost all my money in the gallery of time to constant "funda decreased", had to sell everything's but my best weapons on bait.
Thank you for this video! I didn't know that some of this existed lol! Mostly the whole you can get so much FP from this and such. I've looked up guides on fish and these were left out sadly D:. Anyways thank you once again! uwu Though oddly I had my Mardan Garayan react to a minon which I thought it only reacts to apples.
Cool :) I recently started playing this game again and as a kid, I never fished and had trouble with weak weapons. Now seeing how easy fp farming is and getting the hang of status breaking, i find myself killing stuff maybe too quickly haha
Possible additional step: The oasis actually has to be complete. As in all 3 trees attached to it, I was unable to get either fish to show up until I did this.
+Araito That's an interesting point. Although I can confirm that you CAN catch a Mardan Garayan even when the Oasis is not complete, (I did that myself), I can't say whether or not it needs to be complete for the Baron Garayan, as I didn't try catching one until after I completed the Oasis.
+Erik Schuessler Yeah, this one can really be a bugger. Especially if you can't get past Step 2. I feel pretty lucky that one even showed up for me after about 20 mins.
At least for me, I've seen the Baron more at Matataki Waterfall, than at the Oasis, though I had no potato cakes...I had a lot a variety of bait, and it was not interested in anything. I always actually trying to catch a Mardan, and onlt came across one, but three! Barrons
You can also buy a Gooey Peach from Lana in Queens for 80 Guilda and use that to test to see if it's a Baron in place of a Minon. The Baron won't go for the Gooey Peach. :)
+Anthony Murano I had heard that a Gooey Peach could also work in place of the Minon, sadly, I never checked that out. I'll toss that in the description. :)
+Anthony Murano Although not my first, I definitely remember having played through it at least 4 or 5 times back in the day. Just love this game. And now we get Dark Cloud 2 as well! I am definitely a happy camper! :D
I remember when I use to just get my ass kicked on this game when I was a kid weapons breaking all the time and shit 😂 precaite the video though bro the ps4 port got me addicted
+Jimmy Jensen The Baron, by default, is large. As far as I know, you won't find a Baron below 100cm. I'm not positive what the actual smallest one caught is, though. However, size wise, the Mardan can look just like the other fish in the water, if not sometimes a little bit bigger. It can be really hard to tell sometimes, which is why it is best to test if the fish you are looking at is a Baron or a Mardan before you toss in a Potato Cake.
Ah, but which trophy was it? If it was "The Big One", then you get that from catching a fish that is over 100cm in length. What you would have caught was a MARDAN Garayan, as only they like Poisonous Apples. It is a different fish, and great for farming FP. They coincidentally are also quite large in size. The "A Rare Catch" trophy is for catching a Baron Garayan, specifically.
This is just not working for me, the damn fish will not go after the bait. I'll go and use the Potato Cake thinking I got the right one, but each time I catch it. It's wrong, I've been at this for three hours now. It's ridiculous.
Did you check with another type of bait first, before you used the potato cake? All the fish in that pond, except for the Marden, will go for the potato cake, as well. However, the Baron will only take a potato cake.
Well, there is the possibility that the big ones you are seeing, if they don't go for a potato cake, they could be Mardens. The only other thing I can think to mention is, are you sure you are fishing at the right time of day? If you are doing everything correctly, it sounds like an extreme case of bad luck. Since the appearance of a Baron is heavily reliant on RNG, you could just be getting screwed by it. Sorry I don't have any other tips I can offer.
Guys, I just caught the Baron Garayan, but I didn't get the notification... Heck the whole time I've never gotten any pop ups :( Can someone help me please!
+Aaron Cranfield We can give it a try, if you like. However, I do sometimes have a "spotty" internet connection, so I can't make any promises. :p (My psnID is Zertonium)
+SuperJamesDragon I know! And it's a 2001 game to boot. 8% of people who bought it on PS4 already have the Platinum trophy. Hopefully the rumors of Dark Cloud 3 will come true then.
+Dima Parachute Oh, Dear God... I've been praying for 3 for so long. I ever so hope that the rumoured game that Level-5 is working on is Dark Cloud 3. After all, Dark Cloud was one of the first titles for the PS2 emulation for the PS4, and now we are getting Dark Cloud 2 tomorrow (Jan. 19). It would totally make sense seeing as how much attention they are trying to get for the Dark Cloud series right now. We shall have to wait and see...
Dear god, this is impossible. They really managed to make fishing seriously boring in this game, is a lot better in Dark Cloud 2. This is just as boring as fishing in real life. Just want that stupid Baron Garayan for the trophy then I am never touching that fishing pole again in this game...ever. This is just ruining a perfectly good game.
This is a really good video though, I am sure this is the only way to manage this. I also read somewhere that more Barons would spawn if you catch a few Mardans first. Have no clue if that is accurate or not, but I might as well give it a try while trying your method. Thanks for a good video!
This was the last trophy I was missing and I was having a hard time going on the mixed info from 16 year old forums lol. Thanks for the video! Love the style and humor, too!
Thanks, glad to hear it. :)

Me trying to get emulators off of 8y old forums for 4 straight hours and finding the answer on a recent TH-cam video in like 5 minutes 🤦🏽♂️
This fish is the bane of my existance. Caught like 30 off the Marden but n Baron...Siiiiigh
Spent one Saturday nonstop fishing. Caught a few Barons and plenty of Mardans. Got over 5k FP. I miss doing this.
Man, that sure is dedication for something you like. Not a bad thing of course :)
You gotta love DC's logic: Toan throws Mardan back into the water, but the mf just attaches itself to the Atlamillia or something like that. Like "I bestow upon thee the power of *f i s h* "
This is the last trophy left for my plat. Thanks for showing how it's done, I guess I just have to show some patience now...
+ArchoNils Privat
No problem. I wish you the best of luck at catching your "White Whale". ;)
Thanks! I'll try again. Looks like the trophy pops as soon as you're able to pull on the line so you should know before the fish even comes out of the water 👍👍.
Thank you. This helped a lot. Took me about 20 minutes to catch a Baron.
+TheHyruth
No problem. Took me about the same time. :D
thank you this help because I finally was able to see the size required to be this fish
You're very welcome. :)
Took me like a half a hour but it was worth it. I got my platinum. Thanks man.
Thank you!!! I only have a couple others besides beating the end boss. I love saving beating the game trophy for last.
Thanks this video is actually really helpful and well put together
I was having a hell of a time catching him. Just caught him thanks to your video! ^_^
thank you. IM FINALLY FREE FROM THAT HUNT. FINALLYYYYYYYYYYYYY
No problem. Glad I could help.
Thought I found a baron before as it was uninterested in the minion but he was also not interested in the potato cake lmao
Probably a Marden.
You can also catch the Barons at the waterfall. Usually early on in the game and at night.
i had no idea catching one helped with big chests...all i knew is that they were worth alot of FP and they are needed to evolve a special sword
This video was hilarious xD thanks for the guide!
No problem. You know, I think you are the first one to comment on the little bit of humour I threw in there. To be honest, up until now I was kind of regretting throwing that bit in, but if it made at least one person laugh, it was totally worth it. ;)
I thought the humour really fit in well, none of it was forced lol like the zoom in on the fish killed me and the "gooooooooooal!" But other then that it was really informative too, like all of the special traits fish liked or didn't like, great video 10/10 would zoom on fish again
Thanks for the feedback. I really appreciate it. :D
Like
You can buy Minions from Mr. Mustache in his shop in Matataki Village.
Ok, sorry, I was thinking of the worm. You need the furry guy. Sorry. :(
Took me like 2 hours. Had just beat the game and had just lost all my money in the gallery of time to constant "funda decreased", had to sell everything's but my best weapons on bait.
Look up 'broken dagger glitch' for infinite money.
Took me about 30 minutes, thanks bro!
You can also use a peach to test for the baron.
Omg i got so lucky! I got it on my first try! Thank you for the guide!
Thanks didn't take too long to catch him!
5 minutes of rng spawning, first try there was a massive fish in the water I just knew it was a Baron Garayan!
Thanks for the guide, got him in 15 Minutes ;)
Thank you for this video! I didn't know that some of this existed lol! Mostly the whole you can get so much FP from this and such. I've looked up guides on fish and these were left out sadly D:. Anyways thank you once again! uwu Though oddly I had my Mardan Garayan react to a minon which I thought it only reacts to apples.
never found a fish interested in poisoned apple in muska raka
Got it today!! 220 cm!!! :D
Thanks dude!
+MorganDrake88
Wow, nice catch!
And, Congrats!
Thx! Got it in less than 10 minutes!
Do I need to complete all the villagers requests? I cant get it no matter what, ive tried for over 5 hours
Thank you for the video. It was great help
You are very welcome. :)
thanks for the video. it helped a bunch
+Pepsisodacan
No problem. :)
This worked for me, thx!
this really helped me, thank you :)
+Lunaotic
No problem. :)
excellent
+Pierre Guevara (Chippydip)
Thanks. :D
I know this video is quite old, but can you find it at night too? Great video btw :D
Thanks. As far as I know, it is only available at Dusk, leaving a rather annoying window that it can only be fished out at.
Ok thanks :)
great video, also, do you recommend using fp for xiaos slingshot (or anyones weapon for that matter)
Absolutely. Personally, I used fp exclusively for trading for attachments. Whose weapon you then use the attachments on is completely up to you.
Cool :) I recently started playing this game again and as a kid, I never fished and had trouble with weak weapons. Now seeing how easy fp farming is and getting the hang of status breaking, i find myself killing stuff maybe too quickly haha
There's never anything wrong with that. ;)

Great video, but still haven't gotten it. It's driving me crazy :(
+Erik Schuessler
Yeah, this one can really be a bugger. Especially if you can't get past Step 2. I feel pretty lucky that one even showed up for me after about 20 mins.
+NerdyGlassesGaming I just caught it! Thank you so much!
+Erik Schuessler
Cool. Congrats!
At least for me, I've seen the Baron more at Matataki Waterfall, than at the Oasis, though I had no potato cakes...I had a lot a variety of bait, and it was not interested in anything. I always actually trying to catch a Mardan, and onlt came across one, but three! Barrons
Thanks for guide
Followed the tutorial and caught a baron in 10 minutes
man pls tell me in what time you pres x when fish is taking bait...
When the bobber is pulled completely under the water.
can I use something other than Minon, like say, prickly to see if it's a baron?
I'm not sure if all the fish in the pond (except the Baron and the Mardan) will go for a prickly. However, a gooey peach is a decent substitute.
I “JUST” caught this and the trophy popped. Then, when I went to check my trophy list . . . “not earned” . . . 🤬🤬🤬
Thanks nice technique !
+Pendragonthegreat
No problem, and thank you. :D
You can also buy a Gooey Peach from Lana in Queens for 80 Guilda and use that to test to see if it's a Baron in place of a Minon. The Baron won't go for the Gooey Peach. :)
+Anthony Murano
I had heard that a Gooey Peach could also work in place of the Minon, sadly, I never checked that out. I'll toss that in the description. :)
NerdyGlassesGaming
I can confirm that it works because I just got that trophy/the Platinum for that today using that strategy. :)
+Anthony Murano
Always good to have more options. Congrats on the Plat! :D
NerdyGlassesGaming
Thanks! Dark Cloud was my first Playstation 2 game. :)
+Anthony Murano
Although not my first, I definitely remember having played through it at least 4 or 5 times back in the day. Just love this game. And now we get Dark Cloud 2 as well! I am definitely a happy camper! :D
I remember when I use to just get my ass kicked on this game when I was a kid weapons breaking all the time and shit 😂 precaite the video though bro the ps4 port got me addicted
+The FoamLawd
I understand that completely. :D
NerdyGlassesGaming love bro 💯 I subb'd to your channel
+The FoamLawd
Thanks a lot! I really appreciate it. :D
Where can I buy Potato Cakes?
+BChace18
You can purchase Potato Cakes from Brooke in Muska Lacka for 450 G. each.
Does the Baron Garayan need to be big, or is there smal Garayan fishes to?
+Jimmy Jensen
The Baron, by default, is large. As far as I know, you won't find a Baron below 100cm. I'm not positive what the actual smallest one caught is, though. However, size wise, the Mardan can look just like the other fish in the water, if not sometimes a little bit bigger. It can be really hard to tell sometimes, which is why it is best to test if the fish you are looking at is a Baron or a Mardan before you toss in a Potato Cake.
+NerdyGlassesGaming Thanks alot for the answer, i will keep on trying ;D
+Jimmy Jensen
Good Luck! :D
How many time should i Enter/Exit repeatedly to get the stupid baron fish!?
Unfortunately, it is completely random.
oh great.......thanks for telling me though
of course mine shows up but the other 3 fish in the pond with it wont leave it alone, keep congregating around it
Robert Thomson Catch them with Minons.
Thank you.
I caught my monster fish and got a trophy just using a regular poisonous apple
Ah, but which trophy was it? If it was "The Big One", then you get that from catching a fish that is over 100cm in length. What you would have caught was a MARDAN Garayan, as only they like Poisonous Apples. It is a different fish, and great for farming FP. They coincidentally are also quite large in size. The "A Rare Catch" trophy is for catching a Baron Garayan, specifically.
umm if the fish even swims to the minion its not the baron?
Correct. The Baron only likes Potato Cakes. If the fish shows any interest at all in the Minon, it is not a Baron.
This is just not working for me, the damn fish will not go after the bait. I'll go and use the Potato Cake thinking I got the right one, but each time I catch it. It's wrong, I've been at this for three hours now. It's ridiculous.

Yeah I have, I've even used the Gooey peach to test whether or not the big ones would be attracted to it and they don't ever.
Well, there is the possibility that the big ones you are seeing, if they don't go for a potato cake, they could be Mardens. The only other thing I can think to mention is, are you sure you are fishing at the right time of day? If you are doing everything correctly, it sounds like an extreme case of bad luck.

+Alvin Cast I saw my percentage go up in the Trophy list, so this is weird!
+Alvin Cast
I have no idea what might be going wrong here. Sorry...
NerdyGlassesGaming I wonder if I need to have PS+ to even do that... Christ you need ps+ for everything these days :(
You have trophy notifications turned off ofcourse lol
thanks!
Can u buy minons anywhere
Mr. Mustache
No. They can only be stolen from the Earth Diggers in the Wise Owl Forest.
At times this one fish ain't even going for the Potato cake >_< let alone any other bait XD
Did you try a poisonous apple? It could be a Mardan Garayan.
Well it took me some time and I managed to get the fish I needed, but I totally forgot the Mardan Garayan likes poisonous apples.
do you fancy helping me get this by doing share play
+Aaron Cranfield
We can give it a try, if you like. However, I do sometimes have a "spotty" internet connection, so I can't make any promises. :p (My psnID is Zertonium)
I'm just surprised that you caught a fish. Whenever I try, the fish just fucking nibble away ALL of my bait.
Look at all those views!
+SuperJamesDragon
Nice to see you're alive and kicking! :D
Goin' strong.

Caught a few Mardans before, that might have made a difference, don't know.
No problem, and congratulations on your catch. ;)
It worked thank u!!!! ✌🏻
+Natalie Coleman
No problem. :D
