How To Catch Seadramon - Digimon World 1

Requirement: Recruit Shellmon & Read Bulletin Board #3

Seadramon is one of the more annoying Digimon to find/recruit in this game because you're required to fish at a certain hour in a certain place if you want to interact with him. Before we can recruit Seadramon we need two different things, the first is a Fishing Rod. You can find an Old Rod in Trash Mountain but I strongly recommend you get the Amazing Rod from Geko Swamp.

You will also need to recruit Shellmon to your city since he creates the Bulletin Board which we'll need to read. After you read Bulletin #3 you'll want to visit the southern entrance of Dragon Eye Lake - look at my screenshot above if you're confused about which area I am talking about.

Now, for the third requirement... You need to fish at either 5pm or 8am to catch Seadramon. You'll know it is the correct hour because you'll be able to see a large snake-like silhouette swimming around in the northern portion of the lake. If the hour is incorrect then Seadramon won't be swimming around.

Reading the clock in this game can be a bit confusing so I have provided two pictures to help out. I'll also explain a bit of how the clock works... The little yellow dot you see that circles around the clock marks the hour, each time the hand does a full rotation the hour advances.

During the correct fishing hours you'll want to use a Meat or Giant Meat bait and fish on the northern side of the lake (the same area you see the silhouette). Once you hook Seadramon you'll have to pull him in - this is yet another annoying part of all this. The fishing mini game kind of sucks, you have to balance the fishing bar back and forth between the two extremes.

I caught Seadramon twice for this guide and I spent 3 - 5min each time fishing and trying to reel him in. How it worked for me maybe different for you, but I was unable to reel him in carefully. What I mean is, once Seadramon got close enough to me I had to spam X to reel him in and risk the line breaking. Unless I did this, it didn't seem like I would ever catch him - every time he got close to me he pulled away again.

When you finally do catch Seadramon make sure you tell him that you want to be his friend. He will give you the Blue Flute item which allows you to call him at any time and he'll take you across the water to Beetle Land. Once you've been to Beetle Land, if you ever want to go back you can visit Birdramon in File City for a quicker travel.
