Diablo 4 players may have found a faster way to fish up Mefishto
You have a chance to catch Mefisto multiple times within minutes at a new location.
Until now, most Mefishto farming guides have pointed players towards the southern coast of Philios in Skovos, particularly the two rocks near the land bridge to Cetos.
Other locations, including Scylara, have also appeared in community reports. But now, one player reported fishing the boss at a new location, just outside of Temis. So if the usual spots are not working out, you might want to try your luck here.
Where to Fish for Mefishto Near Temis
The place was shared on the Diablo 4 subreddit, explaining that the new spot sits just outside Temis. It is literally a little pond on the top exit of the town, right in front of the bridge.
They also posted screenshots of their catches, with the following recorded times:
1:29 AM
1:31 AM
1:34 AM
1:36 AM
That is four Mefishto encounters in around seven minutes. They were able to reproduce the results for the most part, but they also warn that it can still take some time and requires plenty of fishing.
Of course, this still relies on luck. You might go there and need 4 hours for one Mefishto. It is not a sudden guaranteed spot, but if you still did not manage to get Mefishto to spawn, it is worth a try here.
Wearing the 
Godly Plate of the Whale while fishing definitely makes things faster. This Unique chest armour increases fishing yields by 100%. However, the effect does not specifically mention Mefishto, so it is unclear if the item has any impact on the boss's spawn chance.
And again, this is a player report, not a confirmed high-probability spawn location. Other anglers have tried the spot without getting the same results, so you may still need some patience.
Do You Need to Craft Another Torn Net?
There is also some confusion about Mefishto's summoning requirements.
To unlock the boss spawn, you need to combine 10 Legendary or Unique fish in the Horadric Cube. This produces a Torn Net and triggers the message that your character emits a foul, hateful stench.
If you thought you had to craft a new net after every Mefishto encounter, it turns out that you do not.
You do not even need to keep one in your inventory, or craft another after catching the boss. Players have been catching Mefishto without even carrying the net in their inventory.
We still recommend crafting the net once and keeping it in your bag, because a few player reports are not complete proof that it works without it, especially if you are trying to catch him for the first time.
Mefishto can also drop the Godly Plate of the Whale, but it is not guaranteed. So yes, you sort of need to kill him at least once before you can even get the plate. The chest is more used to catch all the rarest fish.
But if you have been spending hours fishing at the usual locations, the area outside Temis might be worth a few tries.
