Anime Last Stand Tier List (December 2025) Best Units Ranked
Welcome to the most comprehensive Anime Last Stand tier list you’ll find anywhere! I’ve spent countless hours analyzing every unit…
The Cultist Lair update in Fisch has introduced multiple mysterious doors that unlock deeper secrets within this hidden underground location. After successfully unlocking Door 1, many players find themselves facing another challenge: Cultist Lair Door 2. This door guards access to the third room of the Cultist Lair, which contains exclusive quests, rare fish, and valuable NPCs like Sythra who offers unique amulet fragment quests.
Opening Door 2 requires three specific items that are significantly more challenging to obtain than those needed for Door 1. In my experience exploring the Cultist Lair, I’ve found that preparation is everything. Understanding exactly where to find each required item and how to obtain them efficiently will save you hours of frustration.
| Requirement | Location/Method | Rarity |
|---|---|---|
| Darkened Ancient Wood | Sunstone Island (Noir enchant or appraisal) | Legendary |
| Shiny Enchant Relic | Any water (catch or appraise) | Uncommon Rare |
| Key of Oath | Cultist Lair Pool | Exotic |
Before attempting to open Door 2, you must first unlock and pass through Door 1. The second door is located in the room immediately following the first door, accessible via an elevator. Make sure you’ve already gathered the items needed for Door 1 (Albino Moon Wood, Sparkling Enchant Relic, and Key of Whispers) before focusing on Door 2 requirements.
To even access Door 2, you need to first enter the Cultist Lair itself. Here’s a quick overview of the entry process:
If you’ve already completed these steps and unlocked Door 1, you’re ready to tackle Door 2.
The Darkened Ancient Wood is a mutated version of the legendary Ancient Wood fish. This item is the most challenging of the three to obtain because it requires either specific enchantments or the appraisal system.
How to Get Darkened Ancient Wood:
Method 1: Catch with Noir Enchantment
Method 2: Use Duskwire Rod
Method 3: Appraisal System
Pro Tips for Ancient Wood:
The Shiny Enchant Relic is a mutated version of the standard Enchant Relic. Enchant Relics are versatile items used throughout Fisch for enhancing rods with various enchantments.
How to Get Shiny Enchant Relic:
Method 1: Direct Fishing
Method 2: Appraisal Method
Method 3: Purchase and Mutate
Alternative Sources for Enchant Relics:
Best Fishing Strategy:
The Key of Oath is an Exotic rarity item that can only be caught within the Cultist Lair itself. Unlike the other two items, this one is location specific.
How to Get Key of Oath:
Location: First Cultist Lair pool (the main fishing area after entering through the portal)
Best Fishing Conditions:
Fishing Strategy:
Pro Tips:
Once you’ve collected all three required items, follow these exact steps to unlock Door 2:
Step 1: Navigate to Door 2
Step 2: Place Darkened Ancient Wood
Step 3: Place Shiny Enchant Relic
Step 4: Use Key of Oath
Step 5: Enter Room 3
After successfully opening Door 2, you’ll gain access to the third room of the Cultist Lair, which contains:
NPCs and Quests:
Fishing Opportunities:
Progression Items:
Environmental Features:
Many players rush to find Door 2 items without first unlocking Door 1. You cannot physically reach Door 2 until you’ve passed through Door 1 and taken the elevator.
Ancient Wood and Enchant Relics are valuable and easy to accidentally sell. Always double check your inventory before visiting merchants. Consider creating a mental note or marking these items as important.
There are multiple mutations in Fisch. Make sure you’re getting the Darkened mutation for Ancient Wood and the Shiny mutation for Enchant Relic. Other mutations like Sparkling, Glossy, or Aurora won’t work.
While the Key of Oath can technically be caught at any time, daytime provides significantly better odds. Don’t waste hours fishing at night when daytime is more efficient.
The appraisal system requires specific mutations. When talking to the Appraiser, make sure you’re requesting the correct mutation type. Some players accidentally appraise for the wrong mutation and waste money.
Items must be placed on the correct pedestals. Darkened Ancient Wood goes LEFT, Shiny Enchant Relic goes RIGHT, and Key of Oath opens the door itself. Incorrect placement won’t trigger the unlock mechanism.
Phase 1: Prepare Enchantments
Phase 2: Ancient Wood Farming
Phase 3: Shiny Relic Acquisition
Phase 4: Key Collection
Best Rods for Each Task:
Recommended Enchantments:
Resource Management:
Trick 1: Friend Assistance If your friend has already opened Door 2, you can enter their server and access Room 3 without gathering items yourself. However, you won’t get the progression credit and will need items for your own world.
Trick 2: Server Hopping Some servers have better RNG. If you’re having terrible luck catching Ancient Wood or Enchant Relics, try switching servers.
Trick 3: Admin Event Timing Wait for Relic Storm admin events for significantly better Enchant Relic catch rates (25% instead of 0.28%). Check the official Fisch Discord for event announcements.
Trick 4: Appraisal Batch Processing Collect multiple items before visiting the Appraiser. This saves travel time and lets you make multiple attempts in one session.
Trick 5: GPS Marking Mark important coordinates on your GPS system:
Solution: You must first unlock Door 1 and ride the elevator down. Door 2 is in the chamber at the bottom. If you can’t see it, you haven’t progressed far enough.
Solution: Make sure you’re holding the correct item and standing close enough to the pedestal. The interaction prompt should appear. If not, try relogging.
Solution: You must use the Key of Oath on the door itself after placing both other items. Hold E (or your interaction key) while holding the key and facing the door.
Solution: The Noir enchantment only has a 5% chance per fish. You may need to catch 20-50 Ancient Wood before getting the mutation. Consider using the appraisal method instead.
Solution: Focus on fishing valuable fish to earn money. Target high value catches in The Depths or during optimal weather conditions. Alternatively, complete quests and sell duplicate items.
Solution: Make sure you’re fishing during daytime in the correct pool (second room of Cultist Lair). The key has Exotic rarity, so it may take multiple catches. Be patient and keep fishing.
Opening Door 2 is just one step in your Cultist Lair journey. After accessing Room 3, focus on:
| Aspect | Door 1 | Door 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Wood Required | Albino Moon Wood (Snowcap) | Darkened Ancient Wood (Sunstone) |
| Relic Required | Sparkling Enchant Relic | Shiny Enchant Relic |
| Key Required | Key of Whispers | Key of Oath |
| Overall Difficulty | Medium | Hard |
| Time Investment | 1-2 hours | 2-4 hours |
| Cash Needed | 20,000-40,000C$ | 50,000-100,000C$ |
Door 2 is noticeably more challenging than Door 1, primarily due to the Darkened Ancient Wood requirement. While both doors require mutated wood and relic types, obtaining the Darkened mutation is more RNG dependent than getting Albino Moon Wood.
There’s no specific level requirement to open Door 2 itself. However, reaching Level 30 helps significantly as you can purchase Enchant Relics from Merlin instead of relying solely on fishing. Additionally, higher levels provide access to better rods and enchantments that make gathering required items easier.
No, you specifically need the Shiny mutation for Door 2. Other mutations like Sparkling (used for Door 1), Glossy, Aurora, or others will not work. The game checks for the exact mutation type when you attempt to place items on pedestals.
Door 2 is in the second room of the Cultist Lair. After entering the lair and unlocking Door 1, take the elevator down. You’ll arrive in a chamber with a fishing pool and various NPCs. Door 2 is located at the far end of this room, opposite the elevator.
On average, gathering all three items takes 2-4 hours depending on your luck and preparation. If you have Noir enchantment ready and enough cash for appraisals, you can reduce this to 1-2 hours. Players with poor RNG may take 5-6 hours for all items.
While not technically required to play Fisch, opening Door 2 is essential for accessing important quests, rare fish, and progression items. If you want to craft the Great Dreamer’s Amulet or complete the full Cultist Lair storyline, you must open Door 2.
Your Door 2 unlock is specific to your game instance. Friends must gather their own items and unlock the door themselves. However, if you’re in their server when they unlock it, you can both access Room 3 together.
If you accidentally sell or lose a required item, you’ll need to obtain it again. The items aren’t consumed until you successfully place them on the pedestals, so make sure you have all three before attempting the unlock sequence.
As of the current update, Door 2 leads to Room 3, which appears to be the final chamber of the Cultist Lair. However, Fisch receives frequent updates, so additional doors and rooms may be added in future patches.
Opening Cultist Lair Door 2 in Fisch represents a significant milestone in your progression through this mysterious underground location. While the requirements are challenging Darkened Ancient Wood, Shiny Enchant Relic, and Key of Oath the rewards waiting in Room 3 make the effort worthwhile.
The key to success is preparation. Having a Noir enchanted rod ready, maintaining a healthy cash reserve for appraisals, and understanding the optimal fishing conditions for each item will dramatically reduce your completion time. Remember that RNG plays a role, so patience is essential.
Beyond the immediate rewards, unlocking Door 2 demonstrates your mastery of Fisch’s complex systems including mutations, enchantments, and rare fish locations. The skills you develop gathering these items will serve you well in future updates and challenges.
Take your time, follow the strategies outlined in this guide, and don’t get discouraged if certain items take longer to obtain than expected. Every experienced Fisch player has spent hours farming for the perfect mutation or waiting for that elusive key to spawn.
Once you’ve successfully opened Door 2 and explored Room 3, you’ll have access to some of the most exclusive content in Fisch. The amulet fragment quests, rare fish species, and unique NPCs waiting beyond this door represent hundreds of hours of additional gameplay.
