Finding Mr. Black: Location & First Steps

Mr. Black is located in The Forbidden Dome, specifically by a tree in the southeast area. You’ll spot him easily – he’s the mysterious figure selling oxygen tanks and other consumables. Before starting his quests, I recommend you:

Reach Level 5 (Quest 1 requirement)
Purchase the Radar from the starting area – this is crucial for identifying mutated fish
Stock up on Oxygen Pods – you’ll be spending lots of time underwater
Accept Virelia’s quests simultaneously – her objectives often overlap with Mr. Black’s

Complete Quest Walkthrough

Quest 1: Earn Trust

Objective: Reach Level 5 Reward: $300 + 5 Star Shards

This is your introduction quest. Simply level up by catching any fish and exploring. I recommend staying in the starting area (Forgotten Deep) and catching basic fish like Clownfish and Pufferfish. The XP gain is steady, and you can sell fish for starting capital.

Pro Tip: Don’t rush to buy expensive equipment yet. Save your money for the Pufferfish Tube, which you’ll need for progression.

Quest 2: Shady Business

Objective: Catch 4 Coral-Mutated Fish + 3 Metal-Mutated Fish Reward: $1,000 + 5 Star Shards + 2 Small Oxygen Pods

This is where the real challenge begins. Coral mutations (1.3x multiplier) and Metal mutations (1.2x multiplier) are relatively common, but finding specific quantities can be time-consuming.

Best Strategy:

Fish in The Forbidden Dome and Ancient Sands border areas
Use your Radar to identify mutations quickly
Focus on high-spawn areas like near the Crazy Jeff cave entrance
Don’t waste time on low-value fish – target medium-sized fish for faster catches

Quest 3: Fading Colors

Objective: Catch 4 Metal-Mutated Fish + 3 Albino-Mutated Fish Reward: $2,000 + 10 Star Shards + 2 Basic Oxygen Pods + 1 Speed Potion

Albino mutations (1.3x multiplier) are slightly rarer than Metal, but still manageable. This quest requires patience and efficient fishing patterns.

Advanced Technique:

Fish in deeper waters for higher mutation rates
The Speed Potion reward is valuable – save it for difficult quests
Consider upgrading to the Boat Tube and Crossbow Gun at this point if you haven’t already

Quest 4: Transparent Fish

Objective: Catch 3 Transparent-Mutated Fish + 3 Albino-Mutated Fish + 2 Metal-Mutated Fish Reward: $3,750 + 10 Star Shards + 1 Advanced Oxygen Pod + 1 Drop Luck Potion

Transparent mutations (1.4x multiplier) start getting rare here. This quest often trips up players because of the combination requirements.

Insider Strategy:

The Drop Luck Potion reward is incredibly valuable for future quests
Focus fishing in Spirit Roots entrance area for higher mutation rates
Don’t ignore smaller fish – they can have mutations too and are faster to catch
Consider using the Drop Luck Potion immediately if you’re struggling

Quest 5: Golden Glare

Objective: Catch 4 Transparent-Mutated Fish + 3 Golden-Mutated Fish + 4 Coral-Mutated Fish Reward: $5,750 + 20 Star Shards + 4 Basic Oxygen Pods + 1 Strength Potion

Golden mutations (2x multiplier) are significantly rarer and more valuable. This quest marks the transition to mid-game difficulty.

Pro Tips:

Golden fish are visually stunning – bright gold sheen that’s hard to miss
The Strength Potion reward helps with catching larger fish
Fish in Ancient Sands and Spirit Roots for better mutation rates
Consider upgrading your equipment before attempting this quest

Quest 6: Dark Contrast

Objective: Catch 8 Albino-Mutated Fish + 4 Metal-Mutated Fish + 3 Negative-Mutated Fish Reward: $8,250 + 20 Star Shards + 1 XP Potion + 1 Strength Potion

Negative mutations (2x multiplier) feature inverted colors, usually blue-toned. The high quantity of Albino fish (8) makes this quest time-consuming.

Efficient Strategy:

The XP Potion reward is perfect for reaching higher level requirements
Focus on areas with high fish density for faster catch rates
Don’t sell mutated fish until you complete the quest – you might need extras
Consider teaming up with friends to cover more area

Quest 7: Bright Shadows

Objective: Catch 3 Neon-Mutated Fish + 2 Shadow-Mutated Fish + 4 Transparent-Mutated Fish + 6 Coral-Mutated Fish Reward: Currently Unknown (likely substantial)

This is where things get seriously challenging. Neon mutations (2.8x multiplier) and Shadow mutations (6.66x multiplier) are extremely rare.

Elite Strategy:

Neon fish have bright, glowing colors that are unmistakable
Shadow fish are pitch black with a dark aura – very distinctive
Fish in the deepest areas you can access for higher rare mutation rates
This quest may require hours of dedicated fishing
Consider using any luck-boosting items you’ve saved

Quest 8: The Final Depth

Objective: Catch 2 Angelic-Mutated Fish + 2 Abyssal-Mutated Fish + 3 Neon-Mutated Fish + 6 Golden-Mutated Fish Reward: $18,500 + 35 Star Shards + 1 XP Potion + 1 Strength Potion + 1 Forgotten Key + 2 Advanced Oxygen Pods

The ultimate challenge! Angelic mutations (7.77x multiplier) and Abyssal mutations (8.5x multiplier) are the rarest in the game.

Endgame Strategy:

Angelic fish have a radiant white glow with light effects
Abyssal fish have deep dark-blue texture with bright bluish fins
The Forgotten Key reward likely unlocks special content
You’ll need the best equipment available (Lost Spirit Tube and Gun)
This quest may take days or weeks to complete
Consider this the ultimate test of your fishing dedication

Mutation Farming Strategies

Understanding Mutation Rates

After hundreds of hours testing, I’ve found these patterns:

Deeper water = Higher mutation rates
Better equipment = More catches per hour = More mutation chances
Certain areas have better rates for specific mutations
Time of day doesn’t affect mutation rates
Server hopping doesn’t reset mutation RNG

Best Fishing Spots by Mutation Type

Mutation Type	Best Location	Why
Common (Coral, Metal, Albino)	Forbidden Dome	High fish density, easy access
Uncommon (Transparent, Golden)	Ancient Sands border	Balanced depth and spawn rates
Rare (Neon, Negative)	Spirit Roots entrance	Higher base mutation rate
Ultra Rare (Shadow, Angelic)	Deep Spirit Roots	Maximum depth for rare mutations
Legendary (Abyssal)	Angler’s Cave	Endgame area with highest rates

Pro Tips from a Veteran Player

Money Management

Don’t buy every upgrade – some are traps (like Fire Tube and Air Rifle)
Save for big purchases – going straight from basic to Rukiry Tube saves money
Sell smart – mutated fish are worth more, but don’t sell quest requirements

Time-Saving Techniques

Use the Radar religiously – it saves hours of searching
Master the fishing mini-game – faster catches = more mutations
Know when to move on – if an area isn’t producing, switch locations
Team up with friends – cover more ground, share mutation locations

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Selling quest fish too early – always keep extras
Ignoring smaller fish – they can have rare mutations too
Wasting money on unnecessary upgrades – follow the progression path
Not using consumables – potions can save hours of grinding
Fishing in wrong areas – location matters for mutation rates

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to complete all Mr. Black quests?

Based on my experience, casual players take 2-3 weeks, while dedicated players can finish in 5-7 days. Quest 8 alone can take days due to the extreme rarity of Angelic and Abyssal mutations.

What’s the best mutation for money making?

Abyssal mutations have the highest multiplier (8.5x), but Shadow mutations (6.66x) are more common and still extremely valuable. For consistent income, focus on Golden (2x) and Negative (2x) mutations.

Do mutations affect anything besides value?

No, mutations only affect appearance and sell value. They don’t change fishing mechanics or combat interactions. A mutated fish fights the same as its normal counterpart.

Can I complete quests in any order?

No, you must complete them sequentially. Each quest unlocks the next one, and they have increasing level requirements.

What happens if I sell a quest fish?

You’ll need to catch another one. I always recommend keeping at least 2-3 extras of each required mutation type before turning in quests.

Is the Radar worth buying?

Absolutely! The Radar is the most important tool for mutation hunting. It saves countless hours and pays for itself quickly through more efficient fishing.

Do private servers help with mutation rates?

No, mutation rates are the same in public and private servers. However, private servers let you fish without competition and can be more peaceful for long grinding sessions.

Final Thoughts

Mr. Black’s questline is one of the most rewarding progression paths in Abyss Roblox. While it requires dedication and patience, the rewards are substantial and the journey teaches you everything about the game’s fishing mechanics. Remember to enjoy the process – there’s something magical about reeling in that first Angelic fish!

Happy fishing, and may your mutations be ever in your favor! 🎣
