Waters, depths and worlds
Depth is progression: further casts reach deeper water, deeper water holds rarer fish, and two later worlds (Dune Haven and Frostmire) gate the temples.
Deep Fishing's world is built around one idea: the further out and further down you cast, the better the water. Two later worlds exist purely to hide the temples, and both are reached on foot, not with a rod.

The two worlds that hold the temples
<div class="tbl-wrap"> <table> <thead><tr><th>World</th><th>What is there</th><th>What you need first</th></tr></thead> <tbody> <tr><td><strong>Dune Haven</strong> (desert)</td><td>The desert temple and its two-floor maze; the Chronus Rod unlock</td><td>Sand key farmed with the wooden rod</td></tr> <tr><td><strong>Frostmire</strong> (frost)</td><td>The frost temple — shorter run, harder offerings; the trillions-priced frost rod</td><td>Frozen key, plus named temple fish collected in advance</td></tr> </tbody> </table> </div>
Both worlds sit at the end of the same progression line: your cast has to reach the deeper water before the world is worth visiting, because the offering fish come from those pools.
How to move down a band
- Throw full-charge casts. A half-cast wastes the Strength you already bought.
- Watch where the bar stops. When it stops rising as you buy upgrades, that band is capped and the next one needs something else.
- Bank coins before travelling. Temple runs are long and you will want upgrades waiting when you get back.
- Fish the band you are in, not the band you want. A capped cast into the wrong water wastes time.
The creature in the deep water
The abyss is also where the kraken enters the game. It is a timed boss that appears on its own schedule rather than when you want it, and catching it gives you a one-time use that multiplies a whole session's selling. Plan a session around it if you can; otherwise treat it as a bonus that occasionally lands on a good bag of fish.
- Keys, temples and mazes — both routes, step by step.
- Coins, pond and AFK money — how the kraken's use fits into a money session.
