@nosam_divad it was dead opposite the blockade on the other side of the river where there are 2 boats, then slightly south (maybe 40m) of that point too i found another.
zero luck with the big mackerel though!
Thank you for addressing this Ubi.
I finally have the Swordfish...
Too bad the challenge wasn't put back in the game though.
@xrayspex_73 where did you find the mackerel? there is a photo on my game but zero mackerel in that whole area, have meditated and re-spawned back in multiple times
Could you please show me where to find the fish in a video?for big flatfish and mackerel
@isuwhat
I got 2, forgot about needing another 3. I have had trouble in Norway, not been at it all afternoon but I'm still looking. There's a user picture on the map (user Sasake IV) holding what is, presumably, a big mackerel. At the moment I've picked up a regular hake and two large arctic char and now the fish have vanished.
@robertsonland Because once you finish Cold Storage and Happy Anniversary, there is a final delivery quest that requires salmon, shad, eels, and flatfish.
One big mackerel down, one to go! At the location indicated in Hordafylke.
@khaos004 Ahh ok...of course I can't get to that since I can't get the second flat fish or the 2 big Mackerel. Thanks.
@isuwhat @Robertsonland Thanks for your quick replies. I got three to spawn at once, South of the blockade, right in the centre of the mouth of the river (just East of the little ruin that is south of the Blockade.
@spirantcrayon22 yeah same, had to meditate about 8 times just to get 1 to spawn. Its right by the middle of the dot on the photo Ubi posted
@khaos004 @Ubi-Borealis
Actually, yes, maybe worth waiting. Ubisoft people, please would you comment on this. Is giving the guy the fish and getting the final thingy going to be a problem for the challenge when it reactivates? I see that it is not yet reactivated.
Finally I have the swordfish and completed the challenge. I hope ubi bring back the challenge they've removed in the next update
Hello all!
I'm glad to hear that several of you have been successful in catching the elusive big flatfish and mackerel! I know that @Ubi-Woofer has been working on creating some videos to help those who are having trouble finding these fish still. I can confirm that they should be available to catch in-game - they may just be a bit shy
@Nosam_divad - Thanks for sharing the image of where you were able to find the big flatfish! Hopefully this will help other players who may be having trouble finding them.
@SpirantCrayon22 - I've reached out to the development team to see if we can get any updates regarding the reintroduction of "Stinky but Deadly." We haven't been told that there will be any problems with retroactively unlocking the challenge, though please note that progressing in the game is at your own discretion. As soon as we get any new updates, we will be sure to let you all know within the thread as soon as we're able to.
Thanks!
@ubi-borealis Thanks for this. I'm going to wait until it's reactivated, just to err on the side of caution.
Two big mackerel done, back to Hampshire!
@luigispcrew I think the challenges are on the servers so, as with the removal, it's not going to be related to a game update.
@isuwhat
I found the big mackerel basically where they told me it was. I just swam around till I found 1 and shot it with the bow...
Now finding another was tricky. I found it was better to fast travel somewhere else on the map, save it, reload the save and travel back to the location. The 1 big mackerel respawned everytime. I just did that 3 times and got them all.

@khaos004 If I read correctly, you seem to have found the big eels ? Aren't those bugged aswell, or am I indeed missing something ? Couldn't find any trace of them, be it in game or on the internet
