If you’re diving into the depths of the Cultist Lair in Fisch, you’ve probably encountered Varn and his mysterious quest. I’ve spent hours navigating this dark, maze-like area, and I’m here to share everything you need to know about completing Varn’s Amulet Fragment Quest.
This quest is essential for assembling the complete Dreamer’s Amulet, which is crucial for progression in the Cultist Lair update. Let me walk you through every single Leviathan letter location so you can get this fragment quickly and efficiently.
The Varn’s Amulet Fragment Quest is one of five critical missions you need to complete to craft the Dreamer’s Amulet in Fisch. This quest specifically requires you to find nine hidden Leviathan letters scattered throughout the Cultist Lair. When arranged properly, these letters spell out “LEVIATHAN,” and collecting all of them will reward you with Varn’s precious amulet fragment.
Unlike other quests in the Cultist Lair that involve fishing or interacting with objects, this one is purely an exploration challenge. You’ll need to unlock specific doors, navigate multiple floors, and use your GPS coordinates system to pinpoint each letter’s exact location.
| Quest Name | NPC | Location | Reward | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Varn’s Quest | Varn | Passage of Oaths | Varn’s Amulet Fragment | Medium |
| Letters Required | 9 (spelling LEVIATHAN) | Multiple floors | Required for Dreamer’s Amulet | Exploration |
Before you can begin hunting for Leviathan letters, you need to properly unlock access to Varn. This isn’t as simple as just walking into the Cultist Lair there are specific prerequisites you must complete first.
First, you need to reach the Cultist Lair itself, which is located on Terrapin Island. Here’s exactly what I did to get there:
Once inside the main Cultist Lair area, you’ll need to unlock the first door. This requires gathering specific materials and interacting with the door mechanism. I won’t go into full detail here since that’s a separate quest, but make sure you have Door 1 unlocked before proceeding.
This is the critical step for Varn’s quest. Door 2 leads to the Passage of Oaths, where Varn resides. After unlocking Door 2, take the elevator or stairs to reach the third main chamber of the Cultist Lair.
Varn is located in the Passage of Oaths, the area you access after going through Door 2. He’s impossible to miss look for the NPC standing near the center of the room. Approach Varn and hold the E key to interact with him. He’ll explain that you need to find nine Leviathan letters scattered throughout the Cultist Lair.
Important Note: You cannot collect any letters until you officially start the quest by talking to Varn. Even if you walk past a letter location before accepting the quest, you won’t be able to interact with it. Always talk to Varn first!
Now for the main event finding all nine Leviathan letters. I’ve organized these by floor location to make your search as efficient as possible. Make sure you have your GPS system open (press M to access your map and coordinates) so you can navigate precisely to each location.

The first five letters are all located in the starting area of the Cultist Lair, which is the initial floor you enter when you first access the lair. These are relatively easy to find once you have the coordinates.
Letter L
Letter E
Letter V
Letter I
Letter A (First One)
After collecting the five starting area letters, you need to descend to the Hall of Whispers. This is the area you access after opening Cultist Lair Door 1 and taking the elevator down. The Hall of Whispers is where Kareth’s book-cleansing quest also takes place.
Letter T
Letter H
Letter A (Second One)
The final letter is located in the Passage of Oaths, which is the area where Varn himself resides. You access this after unlocking Door 2.
Letter N
Collecting the letters is straightforward once you know where they are. Here’s the exact process I followed for each letter:
When you collect each letter, you’ll see a brief glowing effect and hear a confirmation sound. The letter will disappear from the world, so you don’t need to worry about collecting duplicates.
After dozens of runs helping friends, I’ve developed the most efficient route for collecting all nine letters:
This route minimizes backtracking and elevator usage, saving you precious time.
Once you’ve collected all nine Leviathan letters, it’s time to return to Varn and claim your reward. Here’s exactly what to do:
Step 1: Navigate Back to Varn
If you followed my efficient route, you should already be in the Passage of Oaths. If not, take the elevator from whichever floor you’re on back up to the third chamber where Varn resides.
Step 2: Interact with Varn
Approach Varn and hold the E key to initiate dialogue. He’ll acknowledge that you’ve found all the Leviathan letters and congratulate you on completing his task.
Step 3: Receive Varn’s Amulet Fragment
Varn will automatically give you the Varn’s Amulet Fragment. This item will appear in your inventory and is marked as a quest item. You’ll see a notification on your screen confirming you’ve received the fragment.
Step 4: Check Your Progress
Open your inventory to verify that you now have Varn’s Amulet Fragment. It appears as a dark, fin-shaped object with glowing runes. This is one of five fragments you need to craft the complete Dreamer’s Amulet.
Varn’s Amulet Fragment isn’t just a collectible it’s an essential component for one of the most important items in the Cultist Lair update. Here’s why you need it:
To craft the Dreamer’s Amulet, you must collect all five amulet fragments from different NPCs in the Cultist Lair:
Once you have all five fragments, you can take them to the Amulet NPC (also located in the Passage of Oaths) to craft the complete Dreamer’s Amulet.
The Dreamer’s Amulet is required for accessing deeper areas of the Cultist Lair and progressing toward the Leviathan pool content. Without it, you’ll be locked out of end-game content in this update. It’s also rumored to provide powerful buffs for fishing in the Cultist Lair waters, though I’m still testing this myself.
During my time helping other players with this quest, I’ve noticed several common mistakes that slow people down or cause frustration. Here’s what to watch out for:
This is the biggest mistake I see. Players try to collect letters before activating the quest, then wonder why they can’t interact with them. Always talk to Varn before starting your letter hunt!
There are two “A” letters in the quest one in the Starting Area and one in the Hall of Whispers. Make sure you collect both! Check your quest log to see how many letters you’ve found.
The Cultist Lair is intentionally maze-like and confusing. I strongly recommend marking your map with notes or using landmarks to orient yourself. The GPS coordinates are your best friend here.
Trying to find letters without using the GPS coordinates is asking for trouble. I spent two hours wandering aimlessly my first time before I learned to use the coordinate system properly. Trust me, use the GPS!
You physically cannot complete this quest until you unlock Door 2 because that’s where Varn is located. Focus on opening Door 2 first, then come back for the letters.
After completing this quest multiple times on different accounts and helping friends, I’ve developed some expert strategies:
If your Fisch version supports custom waypoints, set them for each letter location before you start. This creates a visual guide that makes navigation much easier, especially in the darker areas.
The Cultist Lair is notoriously dark. I increased my graphics brightness and reduced shadows, which made the glowing letters much more visible. This simple change cut my collection time in half.
While the quest must be completed individually, having friends can help in other ways. They can guide you to letter locations, watch for enemies, or simply keep you company in the eerie Cultist Lair atmosphere.
I printed out a simple checklist with all nine letter coordinates and checked them off as I collected each one. This prevented confusion about which letters I’d already found, especially the duplicate “A” letters.
Since you’re already exploring the Cultist Lair, consider working on Kareth’s book cleansing quest or Sythra’s lantern quest at the same time. This maximizes your efficiency and reduces the total time needed to get all five fragments.
Even with perfect directions, you might encounter problems. Here are solutions to issues I’ve faced:
While you’re working on Varn’s quest, you’ll want to know about the other four fragment quests. Here’s a quick overview:
Eldran asks you to find three blue cultist markings on Terrapin Island itself (not in the Cultist Lair). The markings are located at:
This is the easiest fragment to obtain and great for beginners.
Maelira requires you to catch five specific fish species:
This quest tests your fishing skills and knowledge of different water locations. It’s time-consuming but straightforward if you have the right bait.
Kareth wants you to cleanse corrupted books in the Hall of Whispers. You need to hover your mouse over bookshelves until you see the hand icon, then click to cleanse each corrupted book. There are multiple books to find, making this a thorough exploration quest.
Sythra tasks you with lighting all ten lanterns throughout the Cultist Lair. She gives you Sythra’s Candle, which you use to relight extinguished lanterns scattered across all three floors. This quest requires the most comprehensive exploration of the entire Cultist Lair.
After collecting all five fragments (including Varn’s), head to the Amulet NPC in the Passage of Oaths. This NPC is easily identifiable by their distinctive red horns. Here’s the crafting process:
The Dreamer’s Amulet is account-bound and cannot be traded. It’s a permanent item that will be crucial for future Cultist Lair content and the upcoming Leviathan encounter.
If you know all the letter locations and have the GPS coordinates ready, the quest takes about 15-20 minutes. First-time players should expect 30-45 minutes as they navigate the unfamiliar Cultist Lair layout.
Absolutely! Varn’s quest is designed to be completed solo and doesn’t require any combat or group coordination. It’s purely exploration-based, making it accessible to all players regardless of fishing level or equipment.
No, once you collect a letter, it disappears permanently for your character. If you’re helping a friend, they’ll need to start their own quest from Varn your collected letters won’t affect their world.
Nothing bad happens! You can freely explore the Cultist Lair and collect letters in any order. Your quest log tracks how many you’ve found, and you can always return to collect missed letters before turning in the quest.
Yes, it’s mandatory. You cannot craft the Dreamer’s Amulet without all five fragments, including Varn’s. There’s no way to skip this quest or substitute another item.
No, the letters won’t be interactive until you officially start the quest by speaking with Varn. This is an intentional game design to ensure players follow the proper quest progression.
No special fishing rods, bait, or gear required! This is purely an exploration quest. However, I recommend having decent movement speed boots if available, as there’s a lot of walking between letter locations.
You can restart it by talking to Varn again. Your collected letters won’t reset you’ll keep any letters you’d already found before abandoning the quest.
Completing Varn’s Amulet Fragment Quest is a crucial step in your Cultist Lair journey. With the detailed coordinates and strategies I’ve shared, you should be able to find all nine Leviathan letters efficiently and claim your fragment without unnecessary frustration.
Remember, this fragment is just one piece of the larger puzzle. You’ll need to complete the other four NPC quests to gather all fragments and craft the Dreamer’s Amulet. The Cultist Lair update represents some of the most engaging content in Fisch, combining exploration, puzzle-solving, and fishing mechanics into a cohesive experience.
Take your time exploring the Cultist Lair, enjoy the atmospheric environment, and don’t stress if it takes you longer than expected to find all the letters. The journey is part of the fun, and the sense of accomplishment when you finally hand over that ninth letter to Varn is incredibly satisfying.
Good luck with your letter hunt, and may your path to the Leviathan be swift and successful!
