Galaxy Glaciers is the fourth and final region you unlock that you can explore in Collector’s Cove, a wondrous and mysterious world with strange flora that is out of this world. It is also home to a total of 14 Fabled Species, in which you must discover in order to fill your Collector’s Compendium in your quest to become Named Collector. We’ll help you acquire all of these Fabled Species in Galaxy Glaciers, including all Crops and Fish and their Fabled Conditions.
1. How to Get Fabled Species in Collector’s Cove
In Collector’s Cove, your primary goal is to fill your Collector’s Compendium in order to become a Named Collector and reach the Collector’s Cove. To do this, you need to find Fabled Species, which come in two forms: Crops and Fish. Crops are grown in planters on your boat, while fish are caught in the sea and ponds.
Getting hold of a Fabled Species takes several steps, starting with growing your first seed or catching your first fish. It requires a lot of work before you’ll be able to acquire the Fabled Species of that plant or fish, but the payoff is worth it.
1.1. How to Grow Fabled Crops
The process of getting a Fabled Crop in Collector’s Cove begins with obtaining bags of seeds, until eventually you have the knowledge and resources to get the Fabled Crop. This process is as follows:
- Plant, grow, and harvest a specific number of crops to learn the fertilizer recipe.
- Grow and harvest a fertilized crop a specific number of times to discover its Fabled Condition.
- Using the Fabled Condition and fertilizer, acquire the Fabled Crop.
Your path to getting a Fabled Crop begins with a simple bag of seeds.
1.1.1. How to Get Fertilizer
Fertilizer is a must if you want to get a Fabled Crop. It won’t exist without it. You must remember to create a crop’s fertilizer before attempting to get the Fabled Crop.
Making fertilizer takes these steps:
- Get a compost bin.
- Unlock the crop’s fertilizer recipe and gather the necessary resources.
- Interact with the compost bin, add the fertilizer recipe to the queue, and press Start to create it.
- Wait until the fertilizer is made and collect it.
Every time you make fertilizer, 5 batches are created.
Fertilizer is required for growing Fabled Crops.
1.2. How to Catch Fabled Fish
Getting a Fabled Fish in Collector’s Cove begins with discovering the fish by catching it, until you’ll be able to go hunting for the Fabled Fish using the knowledge and resources you learned. To do this, you need to do the following:
- Catch a fish a specific number of times to discover its bait recipe.
- Catch the fish with bait a specific number of times to learn its Fabled Condition.
- Follow the Fabled Condition and use the bait to catch the Fabled Fish, providing the fishing conditions are correct.
Start catching fish and eventually you’ll catch an elusive Fabled Fish.
1.2.1. How to Make Bait
To catch a Fabled Fish, as well as excellent-quality fish, you must use fish bait. You will not be able to reel in a Fabled Fish without bait. It’s important to make it as soon as you can and not forget to attach it to your fishing rod.
To make fish bait, here’s what you do:
- Get a bait maker.
- Unlock the bait recipe and get the required resources.
- Approach the bait maker, add the bait recipe to the queue, and select Start to begin making it.
- Wait until the bait has been created and collect it.
5 batches of fish bait are made for each one processed in the bait maker.
Getting a Fabled Fish is impossible without the right bait.
1.3. What to Do With Fabled Species
Once you’ve harvested or caught a Fabled Species for the first time, you first priority should be to use Strengthen Fabled Bond on your companion to build your Fabled Bond, which unlocks new perks such as new abilities, shorter traveling time, and increased stamina.
You can continue to acquire any Fabled Species so you can sell them for good money at the merchants, or feed your companion for stamina.
Give your companion the Fabled Species as soon as you get it.
2. All Fabled Crops in Galaxy Glaciers
Altogether, Galaxy Glaciers in Collector’s Cove includes 7 Fabled Crops to find. This is different to other regions, as there are no extra crops to unlock as you level up as a Collector. All crops are available from the beginning.
Important Note #1: Remember to add fertilizer to all crops when attempting to produce a Fabled Crop, or it won’t appear.
Important Note #2: Fertilizer used for Galaxy Glaciers crops require resources from the other regions, so make sure to stock up during your travels so you’re not short on anything.
2.1. Art-Ichoke
- Crop: Artichoke
- Fertilizer Resources: Cranberry, Zander, Sun Perch
2.1.1. Fabled Condition for Art-Ichoke
To produce an Art-Ichoke, you need to grow 3 different colored crops next to your Artichoke. Unless you have Farming Rank 25, you can only grow crops from Galaxy Glaciers.
A good selection of different-colored crops include:
- Carrot (orange)
- Cranberry (red)
- Broccoli (green)
Have your Artichoke in the center of a 9 x 9 planter, then have the 3 other crops on different sides surrounding it. This way, you’ll be sure to get an Art-Ichoke.
Art-Ichoke likes being surrounded by different colored crops.
2.2. Broccosmic
- Crop: Broccoli
- Fertilizer Resources: Pomegranate, Starfish, Cobia
2.2.1. Fabled Condition for Broccosmic
To get a Broccosmic, you just need to let your Broccoli crop continue to grow 24 hours after being harvestable. Basically, once it’s harvestable, keep it watered. It will eventually turn into a Broccosmic when 24 hours is up. Keep an eye on it and don’t let it dry out.
Leave your Broccoli for another day, keep it watered, and Broccosmic will appear.

This should successfully procure a Carrocket.
The key to getting Carrocket is the I’m Stuck option in the pause menu.
2.4. Kiwioid
- Crop: Kiwi
- Fertilizer Resources: Tangerine, Sun Perch, Starfish
2.4.1. Fabled Condition for Kiwioid

Meteor showers occur every few nights in all the regions of Collector’s Cove. However, there’s no way of predicting when they’ll take place. You just need to be patient and wait. Meteor showers only happen at night, so when night arrives, look to the sky. You’ll see stars raining down, and hear distinctive high-pitched whooshing sounds. Meteor showers last a few hours until dawn.
For the Kiwioid, leave the harvestable Kiwi, and when a meteor shower arrives, it should automatically become a Kiwioid.
