Tutorial Quests: Your First Steps in Abyss

When you first spawn into Abyss, the game automatically guides you through four essential tutorial quests. These aren’t optional – you must complete them to unlock free roam mode. Here’s exactly what you need to do.

Tutorial Quest 1: Learn to Fish

This is your introduction to the fishing mechanics. The game will guide you step-by-step:

1. Equip your Starter Gun from your inventory
2. Head to the edge of the dome and enter the water
3. Follow the white marker to locate your first fish
4. Aim your gun at the fish and left-click to shoot
5. Complete the fishing minigame by clicking rapidly to keep the fish icon inside the larger bar
6. Wait for the progress bar to fill completely
7. Repeat two more times to catch 3 fish total

Pro Tip: Don’t worry about getting perfect catches here. The tutorial fish are extremely easy to catch, so use this time to get comfortable with the minigame mechanics.

Tutorial Quest 2: Selling Your Catch

After catching three fish, you need to sell them:

1. Swim back to the Kraken in the center of the dome
2. Interact with the Kraken
3. Your fish will automatically be sold

This tutorial teaches you that the Kraken is your primary fish buyer in the early game.

Tutorial Quest 3: Purchase Your First Gear

Now it’s time to upgrade your equipment. You need to buy two items:

First – Buy a Tube:

1. Locate the Tubes shop near the Kraken (look for David NPC)
2. Purchase the marked tube (the game highlights which one)
3. The tube costs a few hundred dollars (you should have enough from selling your three fish)

Second – Buy a Gun:

1. Head to the Harpoon shop (look for Henry NPC)
2. Purchase the marked gun
3. Return to the Kraken to complete the quest

Tutorial Quest 4: Race Reroll System

The final tutorial quest introduces you to the race system:

1. Click the Races icon at the top of your screen
2. Click the Reroll button at the bottom
3. Spend Star Shards to spin for a new race
4. You don’t have to accept the new race – this is just a demonstration

Important: Don’t waste all your Star Shards here! Early game races don’t matter much, so save your shards for better equipment.

Kraken Quest Chain: Main Storyline (6 Quests)

The Kraken serves as your introduction to the main gameplay loop of Abyss. Located right in the center of the Forgotten Deep Dome, this massive tentacled creature will be your guide through your first real challenges. I highly recommend completing all six Kraken quests before moving on to other NPCs.

Kraken Quest 1: First Breath

Objective:

• Catch 1x Clownfish
• Catch 2x Blue Tang
• Catch 2x Tang

Rewards:

• $150 cash
• 5x Star Shards

How to Complete:

Start by talking to the Kraken and selecting “[Quest] Do you have any quests for me?” These three fish species are the most common in the Forgotten Deep starting area. Here’s where to find them:

• Clownfish: Orange with white stripes, swim near the dome’s edge
• Blue Tang: Bright blue fish, usually in groups
• Tang: Similar to Blue Tang but slightly different color

Equip your gun, swim out into the open water around the dome, and start shooting. The fishing minigame is straightforward – click rapidly to keep the fish icon in the green zone. These fish have very low health and easy minigames, so you’ll complete this quest in about 5-10 minutes.

Pro Strategy: Look for schools of fish. You’ll often find multiple Blue Tang and Tang fish swimming together, making it faster to complete the quest.

Kraken Quest 2: Spines and Steel

Objective:

• Purchase the Beginner’s Gun ($350)
• Catch 1x Pufferfish
• Catch 3x Clownfish

Rewards:

• $350 cash
• 5x Star Shards
• 1x Small Oxygen Pod

How to Complete:

First, head to Henry’s Harpoon Shop. The Beginner’s Gun will be sitting in a blue wooden box outside the shop. It costs $350, which you should have from completing Quest 1 and selling some extra fish.

Now comes the challenging part – catching Pufferfish. These yellow fish are defensive:

1. Locate a Pufferfish – They’re bright yellow, hard to miss
2. Approach carefully – When you get close, they inflate and start damaging you
3. Maintain distance – Stay back at least 10-15 studs
4. Shoot quickly – The Beginner’s Gun helps with its better damage
5. Complete the minigame – Pufferfish jump erratically in the minigame, requiring better timing

The Clownfish are the same as Quest 1 – easy catches near the dome.

Critical Tip: If a Pufferfish is inflated and damaging you, swim away and wait for it to deflate before shooting. Trying to catch an angry Pufferfish while taking damage often results in missing the minigame and wasting a shot.

Kraken Quest 3: Crack that Rock

Objective:

• Purchase Normal Tube ($600)
• Catch 1x Salmon
• Catch 2x Pufferfish
• Find 1x Geode
• Crack 1x Geode

Rewards:

• $600 cash
• 10x Star Shards
• 3x Small Oxygen Pods
• 1x Speed Potion

How to Complete:

This quest introduces two new mechanics: Geodes and the Normal Tube upgrade.

First – Buy the Normal Tube:

Head to David’s Tubes shop and purchase the Normal Tube for $600. This significantly increases your oxygen capacity and diving depth, allowing you to explore further from the safety dome.

Second – Catch the Fish:

• Salmon: Pink fish, slightly larger than the beginner fish. They swim faster and have more health, so aim carefully.
• Pufferfish: You already know these from Quest 2. Catch two more using the same strategy.

Third – Find and Crack a Geode:

Geodes are random drops when fishing. You’ll see them appear in your inventory after catching fish. Once you have one:

1. Locate Virelia’s shop (purple glowing tentacles, very hard to miss)
2. Interact with Virelia
3. Select “Yes [Open Artefact]”
4. Choose your Mossy Geode
5. Pay the fee (varies by geode type)
6. Wait for the cracking timer

Geode Cracking Times:

• Mossy Geode: ~2 minutes
• Cactus Geode: ~5 minutes
• Rooted Geode: ~10 minutes

Money-Saving Tip: Geodes cost money to crack AND take time. Only crack geodes when you need them for quests. Early game, the artifacts inside aren’t worth the investment compared to upgrading your gear.

Kraken Quest 4: Risk and Fortune

Objective:

• Purchase Advanced Gun ($1,050)
• Catch 1x Lionfish
• Catch 3x Salmon
• Catch 2x Pufferfish

Rewards:

• $850 cash
• 10x Star Shards
• 2x Mossy Geodes
• 1x Basic Oxygen Pod

How to Complete:

This quest represents a significant difficulty spike. You’ll need to grind cash to afford the Advanced Gun, and Lionfish are genuinely dangerous.

First – Save $1,050:

You’ll need to catch and sell a lot of fish to afford the Advanced Gun. Here’s my recommended grinding strategy:

1. Catch Salmon (sell for ~$75 each)
2. Catch Mahi Mahi if you can find them (sell for ~$100 each)
3. Look for mutated fish (they sell for 1.5x to 3x normal value)
4. Avoid wasting time on Clownfish and Tang – they’re worth very little now

Pro Grinding Tip: Set up a route around the dome where Salmon commonly spawn. Equip the Beginner’s Gun for faster catches, and sell every 5-10 fish to avoid losing them if you die.

Second – Purchase the Advanced Gun:

The Advanced Gun is located under the tree near Henry’s shop. It costs $1,050 and provides significantly better damage and control stats.

Third – Catch the Lionfish:

Lionfish are red and white striped, medium-sized fish that actively attack players. Here’s the safe strategy:

1. Locate a Lionfish – They patrol specific areas around the dome
2. Shoot from maximum range – Don’t let them get close
3. Kite backwards while shooting – Keep moving away
4. Complete the minigame quickly – Lionfish struggle more than Pufferfish
5. Heal if damaged – Return to the safe dome if your health is low

Combat Tip: Lionfish deal damage when they touch you. If one is chasing you, swim in circles around rocks or terrain to break their line of sight, then shoot them from behind.

Kraken Quest 5: The Forgotten Gate

Objective:

• Catch 2x Mahi Mahi
• Catch 4x Lionfish
• Crack 2x Geodes
• Find 3x Tier-1 Treasure Chests

Rewards:

• $1,150 cash
• 20x Star Shards
• 3x Mossy Geodes
• 1x Forgotten Key

How to Complete:

This quest combines fishing challenges with exploration. The treasure chest hunt is new.

First – Fish Requirements:

• Mahi Mahi: Large, golden-green fish. They’re fast swimmers found in deeper water outside the dome. Use your Normal Tube to extend your oxygen while hunting them.
• Lionfish: You need four this time. Use the same kiting strategy from Quest 4, but be prepared for longer hunting sessions.

Second – Crack 2 Geodes:

Return to Virelia and crack two of your Mossy Geodes. This will take about 4 minutes total waiting time. You can fish while waiting for the timer.

Third – Find 3 Tier-1 Treasure Chests:

Treasure chests are scattered around the Forgotten Deep area. Here are the three easiest locations:

1. Chest 1: On top of a large rock beside Henry’s Harpoon shop (very easy to spot)
2. Chest 2: Behind one of the NPC shops near the dome’s edge (check behind David’s Tubes shop)
3. Chest 3: Outside the safety dome, resting on the ocean floor. Follow the terrain downward from the dome entrance – you’ll see a glowing chest about 50 studs away

Chest Location Tip: Treasure chests emit a faint golden glow and make a shimmering sound when you’re near them. Turn up your game volume to help locate them.

Important Reward: The Forgotten Key you receive unlocks Fish Shrines scattered around the map. These shrines contain rare loot, so save this key for later when you’re more experienced.

Kraken Quest 6: Path to the Second Isle

Objective:

• Buy Pufferfish Tube ($2,850)
• Catch 1x Barracuda
• Catch 3x Mahi Mahi
• Crack 3x Geodes
• Find 5x Tier-1 Treasure Chests

Rewards:

• $1,500 cash
• 20x Star Shards
• 5x Small Oxygen Pods
• 1x Strength Potion

How to Complete:

This is the final Kraken quest and the hardest one. You’ll need significant cash savings and exploration skills.

First – Save $2,850 for Pufferfish Tube:

This is a major investment. The Pufferfish Tube is essential for reaching Ancient Sands (the next biome). Here’s my grinding strategy:

1. Focus on Mahi Mahi and Barracuda – These sell for $100-150 each
2. Hunt for mutations – Golden, Albino, and Transparent mutations sell for 1.5x-2x value
3. Use Billy’s Bank – Store your best fish to prevent losing them on death
4. Sell in bulk – Make trips to the Kraken every 10 fish

Time Investment: Expect to spend 2-3 hours grinding if you’re starting from zero cash. If you’ve been selling fish consistently during the previous quests, you might already have enough.

Second – Purchase Pufferfish Tube:

Head to David’s Tubes shop and buy the Pufferfish Tube. This tube has:

• 100 oxygen capacity (huge upgrade from Normal Tube’s 50)
• 150m max depth (allows access to Ancient Sands)
• 25kg weight capacity (carry more fish)

Third – Catch Barracuda:

Barracuda are long, silver fish with sharp teeth. They’re aggressive and fast:

1. Location: Found in deeper water, 80-120m depth
2. Equipment: Use the Pufferfish Tube you just bought and the Advanced Gun
3. Strategy: Barracuda chase you aggressively. Kite them in circles while shooting
4. Minigame: Their minigame is harder than Lionfish – be ready for fast movements

Fourth – Catch 3 More Mahi Mahi:

You’re experienced with these by now. The Pufferfish Tube makes it much easier since you can stay underwater longer.

Fifth – Crack 3 Geodes:

Return to Virelia one more time. You should have at least 3 Mossy Geodes from quest rewards and random drops.

Sixth – Find 5 Tier-1 Treasure Chests:

This is the tricky part. You already found 3 chests in Quest 5. Now you need 5 more (8 total). Here’s where to find them:

Easy Chests (Inside Dome Area):

1. Top of the rock by Henry’s shop
2. Behind David’s Tubes shop
3. Under the developer NPCs’ table

Water Chests (Require Pufferfish Tube): 4. 50 studs outside the dome entrance, on the ocean floor 5. Behind a large rock formation, 100m depth to the east 6. Inside a small underwater cave, 120m depth to the south 7. Near the Ancient Sands entrance, 140m depth (follow the path) 8. Hidden under coral formations, 80m depth to the north

Chest Hunting Tip: Use the minimap (purchase from Crazy Jeff for $450) to mark chest locations. The minimap shows icons for nearby collectibles.

Congratulations! After completing all 6 Kraken quests, you’ve earned $4,400, 70 Star Shards, multiple oxygen pods and potions, and most importantly, a Forgotten Key. You’re now ready to explore Ancient Sands!

Mr. Black Quest Chain: Mutation Mastery (6+ Quests)

Mr. Black is the mutation specialist hiding under a tree with purple flowers in the Forgotten Deep Dome. His questline teaches you about fish mutations – special variants that sell for more money. I strongly recommend doing Mr. Black’s quests alongside the Kraken quests since many objectives overlap.

Understanding Fish Mutations

Before we dive into the quests, you need to understand mutations:

Mutation Types:

• Coral: Fish covered in coral (orange/pink tint) – 1.5x value
• Metal: Shiny metallic appearance – 1.5x value
• Albino: Pure white coloration – 1.8x value
• Transparent: See-through, ghost-like – 2x value
• Golden: Bright gold color – 2.5x value
• Negative: Black with glowing outline – 2.5x value
• Angelic: White with glow – 3x value (very rare)

How to Find Mutations:

Buy the Radar from Richard NPC ($250) – this is ESSENTIAL. The Radar shows you each fish’s mutation when you hover over them. Without it, you’re guessing blindly.

Mr. Black Quest 1: Reach Level 5

Objective:

• Reach Level 5

Rewards:

• $300 cash
• 5x Star Shards

How to Complete:

This is a simple level requirement. You gain XP by:

• Catching fish (10-50 XP each depending on rarity)
• Completing other quests (100-500 XP each)
• Selling valuable fish

If you’ve been following the Kraken questline, you’re probably already Level 5 or close to it. If not, catch and sell 20-30 fish to level up.

XP Grinding Tip: Larger, rarer fish give more XP. Focus on Salmon and Pufferfish instead of Clownfish for faster leveling.

Mr. Black Quest 2: Coral and Metal Mutations

Objective:

• Catch 4x Coral-Mutated Fish
• Catch 3x Metal-Mutated Fish

Rewards:

• $1,000 cash
• 5x Star Shards
• 3x Small Oxygen Pods

How to Complete:

FIRST – Buy the Radar! I cannot stress this enough. Go to Richard NPC (near the Kraken) and buy the Radar for $250. Without it, you’ll waste hours catching the wrong fish.

Once you have the Radar:

1. Equip the Radar from your inventory
2. Aim at fish before shooting them
3. Check the mutation type displayed on the Radar
4. Only shoot Coral and Metal mutations

Coral Mutations (Need 4):

• Look for fish with orange/pink tints
• Common on: Clownfish, Tang, Pufferfish
• Spawn rate: About 1 in 10 fish

Metal Mutations (Need 3):

• Look for shiny, metallic-looking fish
• Common on: Salmon, Lionfish
• Spawn rate: About 1 in 12 fish

Efficient Strategy: Don’t shoot every fish you see. Swim around the dome scanning with your Radar until you find the mutations you need. This saves time and ammunition.

Mr. Black Quest 3: Metal and Albino Mutations

Objective:

• Catch 4x Metal-Mutated Fish
• Catch 3x Albino-Mutated Fish

Rewards:

• $2,000 cash
• 10x Star Shards
• 2x Basic Oxygen Pods
• 1x Speed Potion

How to Complete:

Metal mutations are the same as Quest 2. Albino mutations are rarer.

Albino Mutations (Need 3):

• Look for pure white fish
• Common on: Blue Tang, Clownfish, Salmon
• Spawn rate: About 1 in 15 fish
• Sell for 1.8x normal value

Time-Saving Tip: Albino fish are easier to spot visually than Coral or Metal. Look for pure white fish swimming around, then confirm with the Radar before shooting.

Quest Strategy: This quest takes longer because Albino is rarer. My approach:

1. Swim to areas with high fish density
2. Scan for white-colored fish visually
3. Confirm with Radar
4. If no Albino nearby, move to a different area
5. Check the Ancient Sands entrance – mutations spawn more frequently there

Mr. Black Quest 4: Transparent and Albino Mutations

Objective:

• Catch 3x Transparent-Mutated Fish
• Catch 3x Albino-Mutated Fish
• Catch 2x Metal-Mutated Fish

Rewards:

• $2,000 cash
• 10x Star Shards
• 2x Basic Oxygen Pods
• 1x Speed Potion

How to Complete:

Transparent mutations are harder to find than Albino.

Transparent Mutations (Need 3):

• Look for ghost-like, see-through fish
• Common on: Jellyfish, Tang, Blue Tang
• Spawn rate: About 1 in 20 fish
• Sell for 2x normal value
• Visual Tip: They’re literally transparent! Look for fish where you can see through their body

Grinding Location: The area between Forgotten Deep and Ancient Sands has higher Transparent spawn rates. Equip the Pufferfish Tube and hunt there.

Time Estimate: Expect 45-60 minutes for this quest if you’re unlucky with spawns.

Mr. Black Quest 5: Transparent and Golden Mutations

Objective:

• Catch 4x Transparent-Mutated Fish
• Catch 3x Golden-Mutated Fish
• Catch 4x Coral-Mutated Fish

Rewards:

• $5,750 cash
• 20x Star Shards
• 4x Basic Oxygen Pods
• 1x Strength Potion

How to Complete:

This is where mutation hunting gets serious. Golden mutations are significantly rarer than anything you’ve encountered.

Golden Mutations (Need 3):

• Look for bright gold, shiny fish
• Can appear on ANY fish species
• Spawn rate: About 1 in 30-40 fish
• Sell for 2.5x normal value
• Most Common On: Mahi Mahi, Barracuda, Salmon

Where to Hunt Golden Mutations:

The spawn rate increases in deeper water and near biome transitions. My recommended route:

1. Start at Ancient Sands entrance (140m depth)
2. Hunt Mahi Mahi and Barracuda – these have higher Golden rates
3. Server hop if needed – If you haven’t seen a Golden in 30 minutes, try a different server
4. Use the Speed Potion from previous quests to cover more ground

Advanced Tactic: Golden mutations spawn in clusters. If you find one Golden fish, there’s often 1-2 more in the same area within the next 10 minutes.

Time Estimate: 1-2 hours depending on luck. This is the first genuinely grindy mutation quest.

Mr. Black Quest 6: Albino, Metal, and Negative Mutations

Objective:

• Catch 8x Albino-Mutated Fish
• Catch 4x Metal-Mutated Fish
• Catch 4x Negative-Mutated Fish

Rewards:

• $8,250 cash
• 20x Star Shards
• 1x XP Potion
• 1x Strength Potion

How to Complete:

Negative mutations are the newest challenge – they’re as rare as Golden.

Negative Mutations (Need 4):

• Look for black fish with glowing outlines
• Can appear on ANY fish species
• Spawn rate: About 1 in 35 fish
• Sell for 2.5x normal value
• Visual: Very distinctive black color with white/blue outline glow

Where to Hunt Negative Mutations:

Negative mutations have higher spawn rates at night (in-game time):

1. Wait for nighttime in Abyss (check the skybox)
2. Hunt in the darkest areas – deep water, caves, under structures
3. Focus on Lionfish and Barracuda – aggressive fish have higher Negative rates
4. Ancient Sands transition area – best spawn location I’ve found

Quest Strategy for All Three Mutations:

Since you need 8 Albino (easy), 4 Metal (easy), and 4 Negative (hard), here’s my approach:

1. Hunt Negative first at night – they’re the bottleneck
2. Collect Albino and Metal along the way – you’ll find plenty while hunting Negative
3. Don’t stress about Albino – you’ll get 8 easily just by playing normally
4. Server hop if stuck – If you haven’t found a Negative in 45 minutes, switch servers

Time Estimate: 2-3 hours for this quest. It’s legitimately challenging.

Total Mr. Black Questline Rewards: $19,300 cash, 70 Star Shards, multiple oxygen pods, and useful potions. These quests also massively improve your fish-hunting efficiency, which pays off in every other questline.

Scientist Quest: Unlock Fast Travel (1 Quest)

The Scientist stands next to a blue portable toilet in the Forgotten Deep Dome. His single quest is CRITICAL for quality of life – it unlocks the teleporter system that lets you fast travel between areas.

Priority Level: Complete this quest as soon as possible, ideally before heading to Ancient Sands.

Scientist Quest: Bathroom Emergency

Objective:

• Find the Toilet
• Find the Door
• Find the Toilet Paper
• Find the Power Relays

Rewards:

• Teleporter System Unlocked
• $500 cash
• 10x Star Shards

How to Complete:

All four items are hidden around the Forgotten Deep Dome. Here’s exactly where to find them:

Item 1 – The Toilet:

Location: Behind Richard’s Bestiary shop, under the trees

1. Face Richard’s shop
2. Walk directly behind it
3. Look for a white toilet sitting on the ground
4. Walk up to it and interact
5. The toilet will disappear and add to your quest progress

Item 2 – The Door:

Location: Behind David’s Tubes shop

1. Go to the Tubes shop
2. Walk around to the back side
3. You’ll see a blue door standing upright with no walls around it
4. Interact with the door
5. It disappears

Item 3 – The Toilet Paper:

Location: Under the developer NPCs’ round table

1. Find the round white table where developer NPCs hang out (they have “Dev” tags)
2. Crouch (press C on keyboard)
3. Walk under the table
4. Look for toilet paper roll
5. Interact with it

Pro Tip: If you can’t find the developer table, it’s the one with a huge “Deep Spirit Games” banner nearby.

Item 4 – The Power Relays:

Location: Beside the blue container where Billy (Bank) NPC stands

1. Locate Billy – he’s the NPC who manages your bank/storage
2. Look at the large blue shipping container next to him
3. On the side of the container, you’ll see a small machine with lights
4. Interact with the Power Relays
5. Quest complete!

Return to Scientist:

Once you have all four items, return to the Scientist and talk to him. He’ll activate the teleporter system.

How the Teleporter Works:

1. Find any blue portable toilet (they’re fast travel points)
2. Interact with it
3. Select your destination
4. Pay a small fee ($50-100 depending on distance)
5. Instant teleport!

Teleporter Locations:

• Forgotten Deep Dome (starting area)
• Ancient Sands (near Marcus)
• Spirit Roots (near Isolde)
• Additional secret locations unlocked through exploration

Why This Quest Matters:

Without the teleporter, you’ll spend 5-10 minutes swimming between biomes every time you want to sell fish or visit a different NPC. The teleporter saves HOURS of playtime. Complete this quest ASAP.

Virelia Quest Chain: Geode Master (3 Quests)

Virelia runs the artifact shop in the Forgotten Deep Dome. Her purple glowing tentacle stall is impossible to miss. Her quests focus on cracking geodes to obtain artifacts.

Important: You must crack at least 1 geode before Virelia’s quests become available. Complete Kraken Quest 3 first.

Virelia Quest 1: Mossy Geode Cracking

Objective:

• Crack 10x Mossy Geodes

Rewards:

• $1,250 cash
• 20x Star Shards
• 2x Basic Oxygen Pods

How to Complete:

First – Obtain 10 Mossy Geodes:

Mossy Geodes are common drops from fish in the Forgotten Deep area. Here’s how to farm them efficiently:

1. Fish in Forgotten Deep – Geodes drop randomly from any fish
2. Drop Rate: About 1 geode per 5-8 fish caught
3. Best Fish to Catch: Salmon, Pufferfish, Mahi Mahi (faster catches = more geodes)
4. Time Required: 30-45 minutes of active fishing

Geode Farming Tip: Don’t crack geodes as you get them. Wait until you have all 10, then crack them together. This way, you can fish continuously without interruptions.

Second – Crack All 10 Geodes:

Return to Virelia with your 10 Mossy Geodes:

1. Talk to Virelia
2. Select “Yes [Open Artefact]”
3. Choose Mossy Geode
4. Pay the cracking fee ($50 per geode = $500 total)
5. Wait 2 minutes per geode (20 minutes total if done one at a time)

Time-Saving Trick: You can crack one geode, then go fishing while waiting for the timer. Come back in 2 minutes to crack the next one. This way, you’re not just sitting idle.

What You Get from Geodes:

• Artifacts (equip up to 3 for stat boosts)
• Star Shards
• Rarely, special items

Quest Complete: After cracking 10 Mossy Geodes, return to Virelia to claim your rewards.

Virelia Quest 2: Cactus Geode Cracking

Objective:

• Crack 15x Cactus Geodes

Rewards:

• $5,000 cash
• 50x Star Shards
• 3x Advanced Oxygen Pods
• 1x Strength Potion

How to Complete:

Cactus Geodes only drop in Ancient Sands (the second biome). You must have the Pufferfish Tube to reach this area.

First – Reach Ancient Sands:

1. Complete Kraken Quest 6 to get the Pufferfish Tube
2. Swim to Ancient Sands (follow the quest marker or teleport if unlocked)
3. Look for the giant stone arch with “Crazy Jeff” sign
4. There’s a cave with air pockets under the arch

Second – Farm 15 Cactus Geodes:

Fish in Ancient Sands area:

1. Best Fish: Pompano, Cod, Blackfin Tuna
2. Drop Rate: About 1 Cactus Geode per 6-10 fish
3. Time Required: 1-2 hours of fishing
4. Location: Stay near the cave entrance so you can refill oxygen easily

Ancient Sands Fishing Tip: The water here is deeper (150-200m), so you NEED the Pufferfish Tube. Watch your oxygen meter constantly. When it gets to 30%, return to the cave immediately.

Third – Crack 15 Cactus Geodes:

Cactus Geodes take longer to crack than Mossy Geodes:

1. Each Cactus Geode costs $150 to crack
2. Cracking time is 5 minutes each
3. Total cost: $2,250
4. Total time: 75 minutes (if done sequentially)

Geode Cracking Strategy:

• Crack 2-3 geodes
• Go fishing while waiting
• Repeat
• This way you’re progressing on other quests simultaneously

Cactus Geode Rewards:

Cactus Geodes contain better artifacts than Mossy Geodes:

• Cactus artifact (reduces fall damage in water)
• Sea Star artifact (faster swimming)
• Better Star Shard drops (5-15 instead of 1-3)

Virelia Quest 3: Rooted Geode Cracking

Objective:

• Crack 20x Rooted Geodes

Rewards:

• $20,000 cash
• 80x Star Shards
• 2x Heavy Oxygen Pods
• 2x XP Potions
• 1x Strength Potion
• 1x Speed Potion

How to Complete:

Rooted Geodes are the rarest geode type, dropping only in Spirit Roots (the third biome). This is a late-game quest.

First – Reach Spirit Roots:

Requirements:

• Lost Spirit Tube (costs $8,000+)
• Level 25+
• Completed most Ancient Sands quests

Second – Farm 20 Rooted Geodes:

Fish in Spirit Roots area:

1. Best Fish: Napoleon, Jellyfish, Sunfish, Pacific Fanfish
2. Drop Rate: About 1 Rooted Geode per 8-12 fish
3. Time Required: 3-4 hours of fishing
4. Difficulty: Spirit Roots fish are tougher, require better guns

Spirit Roots Danger: This area is DEEP (350m+). Oxygen management is critical:

• The Oxy Tube or Lost Spirit Tube is REQUIRED
• Don’t venture far from air pockets
• Use Heavy Oxygen Pods when exploring
• Death here loses ALL fish in inventory

Third – Crack 20 Rooted Geodes:

Rooted Geodes are expensive and slow:

1. Each costs $300 to crack
2. Cracking time is 10 minutes each
3. Total cost: $6,000
4. Total time: 200 minutes (over 3 hours!)

Advanced Strategy: Don’t crack all 20 at once. Crack 5-10, use the artifacts from them, then continue questing. Come back later to crack the rest.

Rooted Geode Rewards:

These contain the best artifacts:

• Holy Flower (massive oxygen boost)
• Divine Hour Glass (better XP)
• Eternal Crystal (rare fish spawn increase)
• High Star Shard drops (10-25 per geode)

Total Virelia Questline Value:

After completing all three Virelia quests, you’ll have cracked 45 geodes total. Between the geodes themselves and the quest rewards, you’re looking at:

• $26,250 cash from quest rewards
• 150 Star Shards from quest rewards
• 45+ artifacts (many duplicates to sell)
• 100-400 additional Star Shards from geode contents
• Multiple oxygen pods and potions

Is Virelia’s Questline Worth It?

YES for late-game players. The artifacts you get are essential for endgame content. However, don’t rush these quests early – focus on equipment upgrades first.

Marcus Quest Chain: Ancient Sands Master (6 Quests)

Marcus sits on rocks in front of the archaeological site in Ancient Sands. His questline focuses on desert-themed fish, sand mutations, and exploring the Ancient Sands biome. You’ll need the Pufferfish Tube ($2,850) to start these quests.

Recommended Level: 10-15 before attempting Marcus’s quests.

Marcus Quest 1: Sandy Introduction

Objective:

• Catch 6x Pompano
• Catch 1x Sand-Mutated Fish

Rewards:

• $1,000 cash
• 5x Star Shards
• 1x Small Oxygen Pod

How to Complete:

This is your introduction to Ancient Sands fishing.

Pompano Fish:

• Small, silver fish with yellow fins
• Very common in Ancient Sands shallow areas
• Easy to catch, low health
• Sell for $30-40 each

Finding Pompano:

1. Enter Ancient Sands through the underwater entrance
2. Stay near the cave with oxygen
3. Pompano swim in schools of 5-10
4. Shoot the nearest ones first

Sand-Mutated Fish:

Sand mutations are unique to Ancient Sands:

• Orange/tan coloration (looks like sand)
• 1.5x value multiplier
• Common on: Pompano, Cod, any Ancient Sands fish
• Use your Radar to identify them

Quest Tip: You’ll likely catch a Sand mutation while hunting Pompano. If not, keep fishing – Sand is one of the most common mutations here (1 in 8 fish).

Oxygen Management Warning:

Ancient Sands is 150-200m deep. Your oxygen will drain faster than in Forgotten Deep:

• Return to the cave BEFORE your oxygen hits 20%
• Keep oxygen pods in your inventory as backup
• Don’t swim too far from the cave entrance yet

Marcus Quest 2: Bones and Fish

Objective:

• Catch 6x Cod
• Catch 2x Sand-Mutated Fish
• Collect 1x Fish Bone

Rewards:

• $1,600 cash
• 5x Star Shards
• 2x Small Oxygen Pods

How to Complete:

Cod Fish:

• Medium-sized, gray fish
• More health than Pompano
• Found slightly deeper (170-190m)
• Sell for $50-60 each

Cod Hunting Strategy:

1. Equip the Crossbow Gun ($3,500) for better damage
2. Swim to deeper areas outside the cave
3. Cod swim alone, not in schools
4. Complete the minigame carefully – Cod jump unpredictably

Fish Bones:

Fish Bones are a new crafting material:

• Drop randomly from ANY fish in Ancient Sands
• Drop rate: About 1 per 20 fish
• Used for crafting advanced items later
• You need to collect just 1 for this quest

Quest Strategy:

While hunting for Cod and Sand mutations, you’ll naturally get Fish Bones as random drops. Don’t stress about it – by the time you catch 6 Cod, you’ll probably have 1-2 Fish Bones.

Marcus Quest 3: Tuna Time

Objective:

• Catch 3x Blackfin Tuna
• Catch 4x Cod
• Catch 5x Pompano
• Catch 1x Cactus-Mutated Fish

Rewards:

• $2,450 cash
• 10x Star Shards
• 1x Basic Oxygen Pod
• 1x Cactus Geode

How to Complete:

Blackfin Tuna:

• Large, dark blue fish with yellow fins
• High health pool (requires 4-6 shots)
• Found in open water, 180-220m depth
• Aggressive – will chase you
• Sell for $120-150 each

How to Catch Blackfin Tuna:

1. Use the Crossbow Gun (minimum) or Wasted Gun (better)
2. Shoot from medium range
3. Kite backwards while shooting – they chase fast
4. Complete the minigame (moderately difficult)
5. Don’t panic if they get close – keep clicking

Cactus-Mutated Fish:

• Green coloration with cactus-like spines
• 1.6x value multiplier
• Common on: Blackfin Tuna, Grouper, Scorpionfish
• Spawn rate: 1 in 12 fish

Quest Tip: Hunt Blackfin Tuna first. While looking for 3 regular Blackfin, you’ll likely encounter one with Cactus mutation. If you find the Cactus mutation first, catch it and keep hunting – you need 3 total Blackfin (mutation counts as one).

Danger Warning: Blackfin Tuna hit hard. If you’re taking damage, retreat to the cave to heal. Don’t risk dying with valuable fish in your inventory.

Marcus Quest 4: Deep Diving Preparation

Objective:

• Catch 6x Blackfin Tuna
• Catch 6x Pompano
• Catch 3x Sand-Mutated Fish
• Collect 2x Fish Bone
• Crack 3x Cactus Geodes
• Find 10x Tier-1 Treasure Chests

Rewards:

• $3,850 cash
• 10x Star Shards
• 2x Basic Oxygen Pods
• 1x Speed Potion

How to Complete:

This quest is more about quantity than difficulty. You’re grinding for chests and bones.

Fish Requirements:

All these fish you’ve caught before:

• 6x Blackfin Tuna (you know the drill)
• 6x Pompano (easy catches)
• 3x Sand mutations (common enough)

Fish Bones (Need 2):

You’ll get these naturally while catching the other fish. Fish Bone drop rate in Ancient Sands is about 1 per 15-20 fish.

Cactus Geodes (Crack 3):

You probably have some from fishing. If not:

1. Fish until you get 3 Cactus Geodes
2. Return to Virelia
3. Pay $450 total ($150 each)
4. Wait 15 minutes total (5 min each)

Treasure Chests (Find 10):

This is the time-consuming part. Ancient Sands has treasure chests scattered around:

Easy Chest Locations: 1-3. Inside Crazy Jeff’s cave (look on shelves and behind crates) 4-5. On top of the archaeological dig site ruins 6-7. Behind the stone pillars near Suspicious Fisher NPC

Underwater Chest Locations: 8. Under the giant stone arch (180m depth) 9. Inside a small cave opening (200m depth, southeast of Marcus) 10. Near the Ancient Sands/Spirit Roots border (240m depth)

Chest Hunting Tips:

• Use the minimap ($450 from Crazy Jeff) – it shows chest icons
• Equip the Boat Tube ($4,500) for better oxygen capacity
• Mark found chests on your map so you don’t revisit them
• Some chests are in dangerous areas – bring oxygen pods

Quest Strategy:

1. Do all the fishing first (1-2 hours)
2. Crack geodes while you fish
3. Hunt treasure chests last
4. Use the Speed Potion from Quest 3 to move faster while chest hunting

Marcus Quest 5: Grouper Challenge

Objective:

• Catch 4x Grouper
• Catch 5x Blackfin Tuna
• Catch 6x Cod
• Catch 2x Fossil-Mutated Fish
• Find 2x Tier-2 Treasure Chests

Rewards:

• $4,450 cash
• 15x Star Shards
• 4x Small Oxygen Pods
• 1x Drop Luck Potion

How to Complete:

Grouper Fish:

• Massive, brown fish with spots
• Very high health (8-10 shots to catch)
• Found in deep water, 220-260m
• Slow swimmers but tough minigame
• Sell for $180-220 each

How to Catch Grouper:

1. REQUIRED: Boat Tube ($4,500) or better – Pufferfish Tube can’t reach deep enough
2. RECOMMENDED: Wasted Gun ($5,500) – Crossbow Gun takes too long
3. Location: Deep trenches and cave systems in Ancient Sands
4. Strategy: Grouper don’t chase you, but they tank a lot of damage. Keep shooting steadily.

Grouper Minigame:

The Grouper minigame is challenging:

• The green zone is smaller
• The fish icon moves erratically
• Takes 30-40 seconds to complete
• Don’t panic – steady clicking wins

Fossil-Mutated Fish:

• Brown/gray with bone-like patterns
• 1.8x value multiplier
• Common on: Grouper, Scorpionfish, Cavefish
• Spawn rate: 1 in 15 fish

Finding Fossil Mutations:

Fossil mutations are rarer than Sand and Cactus. Best strategy:

1. Focus on Grouper hunting
2. Check EVERY Grouper with Radar before shooting
3. If you find a Fossil Grouper, that’s 1/2 done
4. Hunt in the deepest areas – Fossil spawns increase at 240m+

Tier-2 Treasure Chests:

Tier-2 chests are rarer and contain better loot:

Tier-2 Chest Locations:

1. Deep cave system, 260m depth (requires Boat Tube)
2. Hidden behind rock formations near the Ancient Sands/Spirit Roots border

Tier-2 Chest Rewards:

• 50-100 Star Shards
• Advanced Oxygen Pods
• Rare artifacts
• Sometimes special fish

Quest Warning: This quest requires significant equipment investment. Don’t attempt it without the Boat Tube and a good gun. You’ll waste oxygen and time otherwise.

• Catch 4x Scorpionfish
• Catch 5x Grouper
• Catch 6x Blackfin Tuna

How to Complete:

This is Marcus’s final challenge – a comprehensive test of everything you’ve learned in Ancient Sands.

Scorpionfish:

• Spiky, red-orange fish
• Medium-high health
• Poisonous – damages you on contact
• Found in rocky areas, 200-240m
• Sell for $160-200 each

Scorpionfish Strategy:

1. NEVER let them touch you – they poison you
2. Shoot from maximum gun range
3. Kite backwards if they get close
4. The poison lasts 10 seconds and drains health rapidly
5. Return to cave to heal if poisoned

Comprehensive Quest Strategy:

This quest has SEVEN different objectives. Here’s the optimal order:

Phase 1 – Mutations (2-3 hours):

1. Hunt for Cactus and Fossil mutations first
2. While hunting, you’ll catch some of the required fish
3. Use the Drop Luck Potion to increase mutation spawns

Phase 2 – Fish Collection (2-3 hours):

1. 4x Scorpionfish (careful, poisonous)
2. 5x Grouper (deep water, tough)
3. 6x Blackfin Tuna (medium difficulty)
4. You’ll get 6+ Fish Bones during this phase

Phase 3 – Geode Cracking (30 minutes):

1. Should have 5+ Cactus Geodes from all the fishing
2. Return to Virelia
3. Pay $750 ($150 x 5)
4. Wait 25 minutes total

Total Time Investment: 5-7 hours for this single quest. It’s genuinely difficult.

Final Tip: Don’t try to complete this quest in one session. Break it into chunks:

• Day 1: Hunt mutations
• Day 2: Catch required fish
• Day 3: Crack geodes and turn in quest

Marcus Questline Complete!

After finishing all 6 Marcus quests, you’ll have earned $21,150 cash and 60 Star Shards. More importantly, you’re now a master of Ancient Sands fishing. You know every fish type, mutation, and location in the biome.

Grumpy Hank Quest Chain: The Ultimate Challenge (4 Quests)

Grumpy Hank lives in a small building west of Crazy Jeff’s cave in Ancient Sands. His questline is the HARDEST in the game, featuring rare fish, difficult mutations, and massive grinding requirements. Don’t attempt these quests until you’re Level 20+ with excellent equipment.

Rewards:

• $4,500 cash
• 10x Star Shards
• 1x Advanced Oxygen Pod
• 1x Speed Potion

How to Complete:

You’ve encountered both fish types in Marcus’s questline, but Grumpy Hank wants MORE.

Scorpionfish (Need 5):

Strategy for hunting 5 Scorpionfish:

1. Location: Rocky outcrops, 200-240m depth
2. Best Time: They spawn more frequently during in-game evening
3. Approach: Shoot from far away, never get close
4. Health Management: Keep oxygen pods ready – poison drains health fast

Scorpionfish Spawn Locations:

• Near the stone pillars where Suspicious Fisher sits
• Rock formations south of Ancient Sands cave entrance
• Cave systems at 220m depth

Grouper (Need 3):

Same as before, but you need 3 this time:

1. Deep trenches (240-260m)
2. Use Boat Tube minimum
3. Wasted Gun recommended
4. Takes 8-10 shots each

Fish Bones (Need 3):

By the time you catch 8 fish, you’ll have 3+ Fish Bones. Drop rate is generous in Ancient Sands.

Time Estimate: 1-2 hours depending on Scorpionfish spawns.

Grumpy Hank Quest 2: Shark Hunt

Objective:

• Catch 2x Shark
• Catch 5x Scorpionfish

Rewards:

• $8,750 cash
• 20x Star Shards
• 2x Advanced Oxygen Pods
• 5x Small Oxygen Pods

How to Complete:

This quest introduces Sharks – one of the most dangerous fish in Abyss.

Shark:

• Enormous predatory fish
• VERY high health (15-20 shots)
• VERY aggressive
• Chases and attacks players
• Massive damage on contact
• Found in open ocean, 200-300m
• Sell for $400-500 each

How to Catch Sharks:

CRITICAL EQUIPMENT:

• Boat Tube MINIMUM (Zepline Tube better)
• Wasted Gun MINIMUM (Lost Spirit Gun better)
• Multiple Advanced Oxygen Pods
• Health in good condition

Shark Hunting Strategy:

1. Locate a Shark – They patrol the deepest areas of Ancient Sands
2. Engage from maximum range – Start shooting immediately
3. Kite in large circles – Don’t swim in straight lines, Sharks are fast
4. Never stop moving – If the Shark catches you, you’ll take 40-60 damage
5. Shoot constantly – 15-20 shots needed to bring one down
6. Complete minigame carefully – Shark minigame is HARD, erratic movements
7. Heal if hit – If a Shark touches you, retreat to cave immediately

Shark Spawn Locations:

• Deep water between Ancient Sands and Spirit Roots (260-280m)
• Open ocean areas far from caves
• Near underwater cliff edges

Shark Encounter Warning:

Sharks can KILL YOU EASILY. If you’re not careful:

• They hit for 40+ damage per contact
• They’re faster than your swim speed
• They chase relentlessly
• Dying means losing ALL fish in inventory

Strategy for 2 Sharks:

1. Attempt 1: Hunt the first Shark conservatively. Don’t rush.
2. After catching Shark 1: Return to cave, heal, restock oxygen
3. Attempt 2: Now you know the pattern. Second Shark is easier.

Other Quest Requirements:

The other fish are the same as previous quests:

• 5x Scorpionfish (still poisonous, still annoying)
• 8x Blackfin Tuna (easy at this point)
• 2x Fossil mutations (rare, but you’re experienced now)
• Crack 7 Cactus Geodes ($1,050 cost, 35 minutes wait time)

Time Estimate: 3-4 hours. Sharks alone can take 1-2 hours to find and catch.

Grumpy Hank Quest 3: Cave Depths

Objective:

• Catch 2x Cavefish
• Catch 3x Shark
• Catch 6x Grouper
• Catch 6x Sand-Mutated Fish
• Catch 4x Cactus-Mutated Fish
• Collect 8x Fish Bone
• Crack 14x Cactus Geodes

Rewards:

• $10,500 cash
• 30x Star Shards
• 3x Advanced Oxygen Pods
• 2x Speed Potions

How to Complete:

This quest introduces Cavefish and ramps up ALL the requirements.

Cavefish:

• Pale, eyeless fish
• Found ONLY in deep cave systems
• High health
• Very rare
• Location: 280-320m depth in specific caves
• Sell for $300-400 each

Finding Cavefish:

Cavefish are EXTREMELY rare. Here’s where they spawn:

Cavefish Cave Location 1:

1. From Ancient Sands cave entrance
2. Swim to 280m depth
3. Look for a dark cave opening on the ocean floor
4. Enter the cave (bring oxygen pods!)
5. Cavefish swim in small groups of 2-3

Cavefish Cave Location 2:

1. Ancient Sands/Spirit Roots border area
2. 300m depth
3. Hidden cave behind rock formations
4. Requires Zepline Tube or better

Cavefish Hunting Strategy:

1. Bring multiple Advanced Oxygen Pods – Caves have no oxygen
2. Use the Lost Spirit Gun – Cavefish have high health
3. Move carefully – Don’t rush, oxygen is precious
4. Mark the cave location – You might need to return
5. Catch both if possible – They rarely spawn alone

Sharks (Need 3):

You already caught 2 Sharks in Quest 2. Now you need 3 more (5 total killed so far). Same strategy as before, but you’re more experienced now.

Mutation Grinding (6 Sand + 4 Cactus):

At this point, mutations are easy for you:

• Sand: 1 in 8 fish
• Cactus: 1 in 12 fish

Just fish normally while hunting for Cavefish and Sharks. You’ll get the mutations passively.

Cactus Geodes (Crack 14):

This is expensive and time-consuming:

• Cost: $2,100 ($150 each)
• Time: 70 minutes total
• Strategy: Crack 3-4 at a time while doing other quests

Time Estimate: 4-6 hours. Cavefish are the bottleneck – they’re legitimately rare.

Quest Strategy:

Don’t try to complete this in one session:

Session 1 (2 hours): Hunt for Cavefish Session 2 (2 hours): Hunt Sharks and Grouper Session 3 (1 hour): Collect mutations and fish bones Session 4 (1 hour): Crack geodes and turn in quest

   • Only safe in the air bubble inside caves
5. Minigame:
   • THE HARDEST MINIGAME IN THE GAME
   • Fish icon moves violently
   • Green zone is smallest possible
   • Takes 60-90 seconds to complete
   • One mistake = fail and have to damage it again

Ancient Shark Strategy Tips:

• Server hop to find servers where it’s alive (many players hunt it)
• Hunt at night (it’s easier to see the shadow)
• Bring a friend to help damage it (teamwork recommended)
• Expect to die 2-3 times before succeeding
• When you finally catch it, BANK IT IMMEDIATELY

Other Quest Requirements:

After the Ancient Shark, everything else feels easy:

Cavefish (Need 3): Same caves as before, still rare

Regular Sharks (Need 4): You’re a Shark hunter now, these are routine

Mutations (6 Fossil, 8 Cactus, 12 Sand): Grind time. This takes 3-4 hours of pure fishing:

• Cactus: Hunt Blackfin Tuna
• Sand: Literally any fish works

Fish Bones (Need 12): Natural drops while grinding mutations

Cactus Geodes (Crack 14): $2,100 cost, 70 minutes wait time (do while grinding)

3. Diver gives you a Cargo Crate (automatically in inventory)
4. Equip the Cargo Crate
5. A yellow indicator appears on screen showing destination
6. Swim/travel to the destination NPC
7. With Cargo Crate equipped, talk to the NPC
8. Delivery complete!

Important: Keep the Cargo Crate equipped while traveling. If you unequip it, the yellow indicator disappears and you’ll get lost.

FAQ

Which quests should I do first?

Tutorial → Kraken 1–6 → Scientist → Mr. Black (alongside Kraken) → Diver → Marcus → everything else.

Can I skip quests?

Yes! Most quests are optional. Only the tutorial is mandatory. However, quests give the best rewards for time invested.

Do quests reset?

No. Each quest can only be completed once per account.

What’s the most important quest?

The Scientist’s Teleporter Quest. Fast travel saves hours of playtime.

What’s the hardest quest?

Grumpy Hank Quest 4 (Ancient Shark) or King Cat’s quest (100+ hours).

Can I do quests in any order?

Mostly yes, but some have requirements (level, equipment, completed previous quests).

Are quest rewards worth it?

YES. Quests give more money and items than grinding fish for the same time.

How long do ALL quests take?

100–200+ hours to complete every single quest in the game.

What should I spend quest rewards on?

Tubes first (oxygen is life), then guns, then cosmetics.

Can I abandon quests?

No abandoning. If you accept a quest, finish it or leave it incomplete.

Final Tips for Quest Completion

1. Always use the Radar ($250 from Richard) – saves countless hours
2. Complete Scientist quest ASAP – teleporter is essential
3. Do Mr. Black quests alongside Kraken quests – they overlap
4. Don’t rush to Spirit Roots – you need proper equipment first
5. Store valuable fish in Billy’s Bank before risky quests
6. Mutations spawn in clusters – if you find one, hunt nearby for more
7. Server hop when stuck on rare spawns
8. Buy the minimap ($450 from Crazy Jeff) for chest hunting
9. Save oxygen pods for emergencies, not casual swimming
10. Level up naturally through questing – don’t grind XP separately

Conclusion

You’ve now got the complete guide to every quest in Abyss! From the simple tutorial to the legendary King Cat challenge, you know exactly what to do, where to go, and how to succeed.

Remember: quests are the FASTEST way to progress in Abyss. The cash and Star Shards from quests far exceed what you’d earn from just fishing. Focus on completing questlines, upgrade your equipment with the rewards, then tackle harder quests.

Start with the Kraken and work your way through the biomes. By the time you reach Spirit Roots, you’ll be an expert fisher with top-tier equipment. And who knows – maybe you’ll be one of the few players to complete the King Cat quest and earn the mysterious King’s Fortune!

Good luck, and happy diving! If you found this guide helpful, bookmark it for future reference – you’ll need it when hunting those rare mutations and legendary fish!
