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! 🎣
