Ride A Fish How to Find Eggs: Underwater Search and Pickup Guide

How to find eggs in Ride A Fish: search underwater while riding, recognize eggs by their labels and glow, pick them up with the Take Egg prompt, and decide where to search next using cues from recorded gameplay.

In Ride A Fish, egg hunting starts underwater by design. The official how-to-play opens with "Find fish eggs Underwater," the store listing phrases the same loop as "Explore the ocean and grab wild eggs," and the in-game first-riding tutorial tells you directly: bring your fish to the sea and collect eggs. The moment you enter the water, the game equips a transparent diving helmet on its own — it disappears when you surface — so there is no diving gear to prepare before a hunt.

What the game does not hand you is a map. Recorded gameplay establishes underwater as the place to search, but no fixed spawn coordinates, respawn schedule, or guaranteed rare-egg locations. That makes Ride A Fish egg hunting a game of reading cues: labels and glow tell you what an egg is, light and tools tell you where to look next, and a simple search circuit keeps you from covering the same water twice. Here is that whole loop, from spotting an egg to confirming it is in your basket.

What counts as a findable egg

A collectible egg is a visible object sitting in the water, and it usually announces itself before you reach it. Eggs can carry a readable label: in one recorded session an underwater egg was labeled luck 1 and weight 109 kg (auto-translated captions), and another player reading shallow-area eggs called out values like 20 luck — while noting that some eggs display no luck stat at all. Read the label as you approach; it confirms the object is a collectible egg and tells you what it is offering.

Some eggs also glow. A glowing egg in recorded gameplay was identified as a lucky fish egg, and players treat the glow as a sign worth chasing. Eggs carry names too — recorded finds include a "lucky fish egg" and a Tidal egg — and you can see how the named types compare in the Ride A Fish egg list.

Do not trust every bright shape, though. One player closed in on a promising object only to admit, "I thought that was an egg," and another inspected a pale formation that turned out to be a coral reef. The label or the pickup prompt is the confirmation; color and shape alone are not.

Where and how to search underwater

Underwater is the whole hunt, so the real question is where to look next. A few cues from recorded sessions answer it:

  • Daylight. Eggs are easier to see by color in the day — one player spotted a Tidal egg quickly "mumpung siang" (while it was daytime). After dark the verdict was blunt: "Once it's dark, it's so hard to find eggs." Plan serious hunting for daylight hours.
  • Fish Radar. The tutorial directs you to the Equipment Shop, where a Fish Radar is bought for free and described as being for searching. Recorded sessions show it tracking eggs — "it can lead directly to this egg" — which makes it the closest thing to a direction finder in the game. What recordings do not establish is its detection range or any boost to egg odds; the Ride A Fish radar guide covers the shop's offers and where the evidence stops.
  • The tutorial arrow. Early on, an arrow above your head points at a target egg — "we follow the arrow pointing above our heads... We're directed here." Follow it for your first find before you start improvising routes.
  • Depth. Eggs are not only near the surface. One session dove deeper on purpose — "We need to go deeper. Whoa, these fish eggs are huge" — and players identify a distinct deep-sea-water area while searching. Deeper water is darker and a longer swim home, so treat it as a step to take once the shallows are picked clean.
  • Access limits. Far and deep zones can be gated early. Recorded players hit hard walls — "we're still restricted... We can't go any further," "Can't get through," "Is our level too low?" — and one estimated a target "a kilometer away" on a slow fish. The adaptation that worked: hunt nearby eggs first and expand as your fish improves. Speed helps you reach eggs and get home; it does not change the eggs themselves (more on that below).

For orientation, recorded players navigate by landmarks rather than coordinates: temple-like ruins one player compared to Borobudur and Prambanan, a large split shipwreck, a plane wreck, a UFO, coral reef areas where eggs were spotted, and a lava zone. Every one of these is a single-session sighting — one player checked an underwater temple and found nothing there — so use landmarks to describe where you are, not as promised egg spots.

A repeatable circuit keeps a big ocean from beating you:

  1. Pick a start landmark visible in your actual session; a distinctive structure or terrain feature is more useful than a compass direction you cannot reproduce.
  2. Choose a midpoint and a return line before you expand, so you do not cross the same section repeatedly without noticing.
  3. Repeat the smaller circuit before widening it: keep the recognizable start and return line, extend only one part of the route per run, and note how each attempt ended — collection, placement, or just a fish result. That separates a route problem from a button or inventory problem.
  4. Keep a hunt log. For each observation, record the date, the recognizable location, the label shown, and whether you actually collected the egg — seeing a spawn and collecting it are two different records.
  5. If an egg is missing on a later run, record the absence without inferring a respawn interval. Server state, another player, an update, or a mistaken landmark can each produce it, and none has been established as the cause.

Identify and pick up an egg

The pickup interaction is verified in recorded PC play, and it is the same one the tutorial leads into:

  1. Approach one specific egg and read its label as you close in.
  2. Check the prompt. In the recorded PC interface, getting near an egg exposes E — Ambil Telur, Indonesian for Take Egg. Confirm the prompt is targeting the egg you actually intend to collect.
  3. Activate Take Egg with E.
  4. Confirm the result before moving on. You should be carrying the egg, and the basket display changes from empty to occupied with the egg's label. Standing near an egg — or merely seeing it — is not collection.

If the pickup does not go through:

  • No prompt? Check your distance from the egg and which object the current prompt is targeting.
  • Prompt activated but the basket is still empty? Collection did not happen. Treat the prompt and the possession display as two separate checks — a visible prompt does not guarantee a collected egg.
  • On touch or console? Only the PC E prompt is on record; those mappings were never captured in reviewed footage. Follow your platform's on-screen prompt rather than assuming E.

When the basket entry flips to an egg label, the find is real — and it is ready for the return trip right away, since recorded players head home the moment they are carrying. From that point the job changes from finding to delivering: the how-to-deliver-eggs guide takes over once the egg is in your basket.

Avoid treating an observed find as a guaranteed spawn

Every location in this guide comes from recorded sessions, and it is worth being precise about where certainty ends:

  • Underwater searching is verified; a complete spawn map is not. No fixed coordinates, respawn schedule, or guaranteed named-egg location is established for Ride A Fish.
  • One glowing lucky egg near a reef was one find in one session — an example of what eggs look like, not a permanent spawn point.
  • Egg names in official promotional images do not establish current spawn points, access requirements, or hatch outcomes, so do not turn a promotional name into a hunting target.
  • One player guessed "at night there's a 5x multiplier too," but nothing verified supports a night spawn bonus in this game. What recordings do support is simpler: dark water hides eggs.
  • Bigger luck numbers appeared in farther and deeper water in some recordings, but no location-specific drop rate or rarity rule is established.
  • Faster fish are described as useful for riding and progression; nothing establishes that travel speed changes egg spawn or hatch probabilities.
  • Do not import fixed timers, radar ranges, or multipliers from similar underwater games — each parameter needs evidence from this experience.

Because spawning, visibility and search tools can change with updates, recheck your own hunting grounds instead of trusting any single past find. An observed location is not a permanent guarantee.

With a labeled egg sitting in your basket, the search loop has done its job. Continue with how to deliver eggs to bring it home, then see how to hatch eggs for what happens next.
