You’re sailing through the Third Sea, the fog is thick, and suddenly the water starts churning. If you've spent any time in the brutal endgame of Blox Fruits, you know that heart-sinking feeling when a Terrorshark spawns and you realize you aren't prepared. This is exactly where the Monster Magnet Blox Fruit item comes into play. It isn't just another shiny trinket to toss into your inventory; it is the literal gatekeeper to one of the most powerful weapons in the game: the Shark Anchor. Honestly, if you are trying to hunt Sea Events without one, you are basically playing on hard mode for no reason.
Most players make the mistake of thinking they can just stumble upon the rewards they want. They spend hours circling the Tiki Outpost, hoping for a lucky drop. That’s a waste of energy. To get the big prizes, you need to understand how the internal math of the game's spawning system works. The Monster Magnet is a craftable Legendary accessory specifically designed to lure out an "Anchor" Terrorshark.
Getting the Monster Magnet Blox Fruit Started
First off, don't just go looking for this in a chest. You have to earn it. You need to find the Shark Hunter NPC located at the Tiki Outpost in the Third Sea. This guy doesn't work for free, and he definitely doesn't work for amateurs. Before he even shows you the recipe for the Magnet, you have to craft two other items first: the Tooth Necklace and the Terror Jaw.

It's a progression system. Think of it like a ladder. You can't reach the top rung without stepping on the bottom ones. The Tooth Necklace requires Shark Teeth, which are easy enough to farm from standard Sharks. But once you move up to the Terror Jaw, you’re going to need Terror Eyes and Mutant Teeth. These come from the Terrorshark itself. It’s a bit of a "chicken and the egg" situation—you need to kill the beast to get the gear that helps you kill a bigger version of the beast.
The actual recipe for the Monster Magnet Blox Fruit craft is steep. You are looking at 2 Terror Eyes, 8 Electric Wings, 20 Fool's Gold, and 10 Shark Teeth. That Fool's Gold is usually the part that makes people want to quit. You get it from Ghost Ships and random Sea Events, but the drop rate can feel incredibly stingy when you're specifically looking for it.
Why Everyone Wants One
So, why do people put themselves through this? It’s the Shark Anchor sword. This sword is a beast in PvP and grinding alike. But here is the catch: the Shark Anchor will only drop if you have a Monster Magnet in your inventory while you fight a Terrorshark that has 195,000 HP.
When you have the Magnet, and you're out in the rough waters (typically Danger Levels 3 through 6), there is a chance the game will "consume" your Magnet. You'll see a message on your screen saying "Your Monster Magnet has been attracted by a powerful force." That is your signal. It means the next Terrorshark that spawns is the one carrying the Anchor. If you die before you kill it, or if someone else snipes the kill and you didn't do enough damage, your Magnet is gone. Poof. Back to the Tiki Outpost to craft another one.
It’s high stakes. It’s stressful. It’s exactly what makes Blox Fruits addictive.
Strategies for Successful Sea Hunting
Don't go alone. Seriously. Even if you're a high-level Buddha user or have a permanent Magma fruit, the Sea Events in the Third Sea are designed to overwhelm solo players. When the Monster Magnet triggers, you want a crew.
- Boat Choice: Use the Beast Hunter boat if someone in your crew has it. It has the highest HP and can survive the chaos of multiple Sea Events spawning at once.
- The Danger Zone: Most hunters stick to Danger Level 5. It’s the "sweet spot." Level 6 is where the Rumbling Waters and lightning strikes happen so frequently that you’ll likely lose your boat before the Terrorshark even shows up.
- Fruit Synergy: Magma (Awakened) is the undisputed king of sea hunting because your attacks walk on water and do massive tick damage. If you don't have Magma, a Blizzard or Mammoth user is great for crowd control against the smaller sharks that interfere with the main fight.
One weird thing people forget is that the Monster Magnet Blox Fruit item is consumed upon the spawn of the specific Terrorshark, not the kill. If you see that message and then your game crashes, you have lost the item. It’s brutal. Make sure your internet is stable before you head out into the deep blue.
Common Misconceptions About the Magnet
I hear a lot of rumors in the game chat. Some people swear that you need to be a certain level or have a certain title for the Magnet to work. That’s nonsense. As long as you have the item and you’re in the right Danger Levels, it can trigger.
Another myth is that everyone in the boat needs a Magnet. Nope. Only one person needs it to trigger the "Anchor" version of the boss. However, only the person who had the Magnet consumed is guaranteed the Shark Anchor drop upon victory. If you’re helping a friend, don’t expect the sword to drop for you unless you also had a Magnet that got consumed at the same time—though usually, the game prioritizes one trigger at a time.
The grind for the Shark Anchor is a rite of passage. It separates the casual players from the ones who actually want to dominate the Third Sea. It's frustrating to lose a Magnet to a random disconnect or a stray bolt of lightning, but the power of that sword once you finally get it? Totally worth it.
Your Next Steps to Mastery
Stop aimlessly sailing. If you want the Shark Anchor, you need a plan.
- Check your inventory. See how many Shark Teeth and Fool's Gold you already have. You’ve probably picked some up without realizing it.
- Farm the materials in order. Don't worry about the Magnet until you have the Terror Jaw equipped. The Jaw actually gives you a 10% damage buff against Sea Events, which makes farming the rest of the materials significantly faster.
- Find a dedicated Sea Beast hunting Discord or group. Solo hunting is for people who like losing their boats.
- Wait for the message. Once you have the Magnet, sail slow. Watch the horizon. When the "powerful force" message appears, focus entirely on the Terrorshark. Ignore the Piranhas. Ignore the standard Sharks. Get that Anchor.
The Monster Magnet Blox Fruit system is one of the most balanced "boss summon" mechanics in the game. It’s hard enough to be prestigious, but fair enough that anyone with enough patience can eventually get it. Go get your materials, head to Tiki Outpost, and start the hunt.
