What Happened to Merlin? The Story Behind the Mystery

During an ambitious attempt to forge a new Cosmic Relic, Merlin’s magic orb catastrophically collapsed. The explosion didn’t just destroy his hut – it scattered unstable magic across the entire Sunstone Island, creating dimensional rifts that now tear holes in reality itself. These aren’t ordinary portals; they’re dangerous tears in the fabric of space containing fragments of Merlin’s shattered orb.

The poor wizard is now stranded without his primary source of magical power, and guess who gets to clean up this mess? That’s right – you! Your mission is to venture into these treacherous rifts, navigate deadly parkour challenges, collect the scattered Sunstone Shards, and help Merlin restore his precious orb before something even worse happens.

The lore runs deeper than you might think. Players who’ve been following the game’s cryptic Discord messages noticed something interesting – this wasn’t entirely unexpected. The developers had been dropping hints about “unintelligible signals from outer-space” and alien-like messages (“Gleeb glorp… Zoop Zop…”) for weeks before the update. While the alien storyline hasn’t fully manifested yet (more on that crashed UFO later), Merlin’s magical mishap might be connected to something far more cosmic than a simple enchanting accident.

How to Start Merlin’s Quest?

Finding and initiating Merlin’s questline is straightforward, but you’ll want to make sure you’re properly prepared before diving in.

Location & Requirements

Merlin’s Hut Coordinates: -943, 224, -988 (Sunstone Island)

To reach Sunstone Island from Moosewood, head north-east past Haddock Rock. If you haven’t unlocked GPS yet, I highly recommend grabbing one from Moosewood first – it makes navigation infinitely easier and you’ll need it for finding other valuable locations throughout Fisch.

Level Requirement: You must be at least Level 30 to receive help from Merlin. If you’re below this threshold, Merlin will politely ask you to come back when you’re stronger. Don’t try to work around this – the game won’t let you accept the quest until you meet the requirement.

Initiating the Quest

Once you arrive at Sunstone Island, you’ll immediately notice something’s wrong. Merlin’s hut has been partially destroyed, with one entire wall blown clean off. The interior is a mess, and his iconic crystal orb sits dark and powerless.

Steps to Begin:

1. Navigate to Merlin’s destroyed hut using the coordinates above
2. Approach Merlin (you can’t miss him – he’s the wizard standing amidst the destruction)
3. Interact with him to trigger the dialogue sequence
4. Listen as Merlin explains his catastrophic mistake
5. Select the dialogue option to accept his mission
6. The shard hunt officially begins!

During your conversation, Merlin will explain that he accidentally created rifts around Sunstone while attempting to recreate a cosmic relic. Your job is straightforward: enter these rifts and bring back the broken pieces called Shards. Simple in concept, challenging in execution.

Understanding the Rifts – Your Gateway to Rewards

The rifts are the core mechanic of this entire update, and understanding how they work is crucial for efficient shard collection.

How Rifts Work?

Rifts spawn randomly around Sunstone Island approximately every few minutes. When a rift activates, you’ll receive a system announcement alerting you to its presence. These aren’t subtle – they’re glowing, swirling portals that are impossible to miss once you know what you’re looking for.

Common Rift Spawn Locations:

• Directly in front of Merlin’s Hut
• Near the ladder leading up the island
• Around the Sunstone cliffs
• In the sandy area at the bottom when you first enter the island
• Throughout the elevated rocky sections

Each rift has a unique color corresponding to a specific shard. There are four rift types total, each containing one of the four shards you need for Merlin’s quest.

The Four Rift Types & Their Shards

Rift Color	Shard Name	Reward	Difficulty
Red/Orange	Shard of Embers	🔮 Magic Orb Title	Easy
Green	Shard of Roots	Magic Ball Bobber	Easy
Blue	Shard of Tides	Enchanted Book Lantern	Medium
Purple	Shard of Nebulus	Gilded Staff (Mysterious Skin)	Medium-Hard

Inside the Rifts – Parkour Challenges

Once you walk into a rift, you’re transported to a dimensional pocket containing a parkour obstacle course. Here’s what you need to know:

Time Limit: You have a very short amount of time to complete the parkour and grab the shard. The exact time varies by rift, but expect anywhere from 30-60 seconds. Speed is essential.

The Challenge: The shard sits on top of rocks or platforms. You must jump and glide across the area using your movement skills. Falling into the water below causes instant death and kicks you out of the rift.

One Attempt Only: After you exit a rift (whether by collecting the shard or failing), you cannot revisit that specific rift instance. You’ll need to wait for another rift of that color to spawn if you fail.

Pro Parkour Strategies

Having completed these rifts dozens of times, I’ve developed strategies that work consistently:

Best Route: Always go to the right side of the rift and climb the middle pillar using the stair-type structure. This provides the most reliable path to the shard location.

Use Your Glider: If you have a glider equipped, these parkour challenges become significantly easier. You can skip multiple jumps and glide directly to shards in some rifts. The Advanced Glider makes the purple rift almost trivial.

Practice Your Timing: Don’t panic when you enter. Take the first 2-3 seconds to identify the shard location, then execute your parkour route calmly and deliberately. Rushed mistakes cause more failures than actual difficulty.

Mobile Players: The rifts are definitely harder on mobile due to control limitations. I recommend using a tablet if possible, or practicing the parkour in safer areas first to get comfortable with your movement controls.

All Merlin Shard Rewards – Complete List

Let’s talk about what you’re actually working toward. Each shard you return to Merlin grants a unique reward, and trust me – some of these are absolutely worth the grind.

Shard of Embers (Red/Orange Rift)

Reward: 🔮 Magic Orb Title

This cosmetic title displays above your character and shows other players you’ve helped Merlin with his magical crisis. While it’s “just” a title, it’s actually one of the rarer cosmetics in the game since many players struggle with the rift parkour.

Strategy Tip: The red rift is typically the easiest to complete. If you’re new to the rifts, wait for a red one to spawn and use it as practice before attempting the harder purple rift.

Shard of Roots (Green Rift)

Reward: Magic Ball Bobber

This bobber is based directly on Merlin’s orb design, featuring the same mystical appearance and glowing effects. It’s purely cosmetic but looks absolutely stunning when you’re fishing, especially during night time when the glow effect is most visible.

Why It’s Great: The Magic Ball Bobber has become one of the most sought-after cosmetics in player trading. While you can’t directly trade quest rewards, having it increases your prestige significantly in the community.

Shard of Tides (Blue Rift)

Reward: Enchanted Book Lantern

This glowing book lantern cosmetic is hands-down one of the best-looking rewards from the entire quest. The book floats beside your character and emits a soft magical glow, with particle effects that look incredible in darker areas.

Collector’s Note: According to community consensus, the Enchanted Book Lantern is considered the most visually appealing reward from Merlin’s quest. Many players specifically target the blue rift first just to get this cosmetic.

Shard of Nebulus (Purple Rift)

Reward: Gilded Staff (Mysterious Rod Skin)

Here’s where things get interesting. The Gilded Staff appears to be a rod skin, but there’s a problem – it doesn’t attach to any current rod in the game. You can obtain it, it’ll sit in your inventory, but you can’t equip it to anything yet.

The Mystery: Based on extensive community research and developer hints, this skin is almost certainly tied to a secret rod that hasn’t been released yet. The leading theory connects it to the UFO crash site at Roslit (which we’ll discuss shortly). Many players believe the Gilded Staff will be usable once the alien questline fully releases in an upcoming update.

Should You Get It? Absolutely yes. This is clearly meant for future content, and having it now puts you ahead when that content drops. Think of it as an investment in your future fishing arsenal.

How to Turn In Shards & Claim Rewards?

Once you successfully collect a shard from a rift, bringing it back to Merlin is straightforward:

1. Hold the Shard: Make sure the shard is in your hands (it should be automatically equipped after collection)
2. Return to Merlin’s Hut: Navigate back to his location at -943, 224, -988
3. Interact with Merlin: Talk to him while holding the shard
4. Select “I have a shard for you”: Choose this dialogue option
5. Receive Your Reward: The cosmetic reward will be added to your inventory immediately

Can You Do This Multiple Times?

Yes! You can claim Merlin Quest rewards multiple times. After turning in one shard, you can collect the same colored shard again when its rift spawns and receive… well, nothing new. The game recognizes you’ve already claimed that reward.

However, this repeatability serves two purposes:

1. You can help friends by showing them rift locations
2. The community speculates future updates might add additional rewards for repeated completions

Black Market Returns – Weekend Special Merchant

One of the most exciting aspects of this update is the return of the mysterious Black Market merchant. This isn’t your typical always-available shop – it operates on a limited schedule with rotating inventory.

When & Where the Black Market Spawns?

Schedule: The Black Market appears randomly throughout every weekend (Friday evening through Sunday night)

How It Works:

• Spawns globally (all servers get it at the same time)
• Appears in random locations across the map
• Stock is limited per spawn
• Once inventory sells out, the merchant disappears
• Respawns later in the weekend with new inventory at a different location

Known Spawn Locations:

• Sunstone Island (most common)
• Forsaken Shores
• Roslit Bay
• Other major islands

When the Black Market spawns, you’ll typically see community announcements in Discord channels, so staying connected helps you catch it.

What Can You Buy?

The merchant’s inventory changes with every appearance, making each spawn unique. Based on player reports and my own observations, here’s what you might find:

Confirmed Items:

• Returning rods (previously event-exclusive items)
• Rare cosmetics
• Limited-time rod skins
• Exclusive bobbers
• Mystery items

Pricing: Items are sold for C$ (Fisch’s standard currency), but expect premium pricing. The Black Market doesn’t offer bargains – you’re paying for exclusivity and rarity.

Pro Strategy: Save at least 100,000 C$ if you’re serious about Black Market shopping. Making money efficiently in Fisch becomes crucial when you want to afford these limited items.

The UFO Mystery at Roslit – Future Content Teaser

Remember those alien hints the developers dropped before the update? They weren’t just for flavor text. Travel to Roslit Bay and walk toward the lighthouse area – you’ll find a crashed UFO burning on the shoreline.

What We Know

Current Status: The UFO crash site is viewable but not interactive. You can walk around it, take screenshots, but you can’t trigger any quests or interactions yet.

Developer Hints: The devs have indicated this upcoming quest will be similar to the Brick Rod challenge – meaning long, complicated, and requiring significant effort. For those unfamiliar, the Brick Rod quest is notorious in the Fisch community for its complexity and difficulty.

Connection to Gilded Staff: Strong evidence suggests this alien questline will unlock the mysterious secret rod that pairs with the Gilded Staff skin you obtained from the purple rift. Once this content releases, players who already have the Gilded Staff will be able to immediately customize their new rod.

When Will It Release?

While not officially confirmed, community speculation and patterns from previous updates suggest the alien questline will release within 1-2 weeks of the Mystery at Sunstone update. The developers typically use this staggered release approach for major content.

My Advice: Keep checking Roslit Bay weekly. Stay updated on new Fisch codes and announcements, as the developers will likely release a special code when the alien content goes live.

New Daily Rewards System – Revamped & Better

The update completely overhauled the daily rewards system, transforming it from a boring C$-only bonus into something actually worth logging in for.

How the New System Works?

Play for 7 Consecutive Days to unlock progressively better rewards:

Day 1: Basic C$ bonus (similar to old system) Day 2: C$ + bonus bait Day 3: C$ + rare bait or item Day 4: C$ + cosmetic item or enchantment material Day 5: C$ + rod skin or bobber Day 6: C$ + rare enchantment or totem Day 7: Exclusive reward (mystery item, only awarded on 7-day streak)

Streak Rules:

• You must log in and claim rewards for consecutive days
• Missing a day resets your streak back to Day 1
• You don’t need to fish or play extensively – just log in and claim
• Rewards scale based on your level (higher level = better C$ amounts)

Why This Matters: The old system gave you maybe 500-1,000 C$ daily. The new system can net you 10,000+ C$ plus valuable items over a 7-day period. That’s equivalent to catching several high-value fish without doing anything special.

Personal Aquarium Quality of Life Upgrades

Your personal aquarium received some fantastic quality-of-life improvements that fix long-standing community complaints.

Auto-Equip Best Fish Features

Two new buttons let you instantly organize your aquarium:

1. Best Value Button

• Automatically equips your highest C$ value fish
• Maximizes your passive income generation
• Updates instantly when you catch a new valuable fish

2. Best XP Button

• Automatically equips fish that generate the most experience
• Perfect for players focused on leveling up
• Can be swapped on-demand based on your current goals

Cosmetic Display Feature

This is the feature everyone requested but didn’t expect to actually get.

How It Works: You can now display fish purely for cosmetic purposes without sacrificing profit. Previously, showcasing rare or cool-looking fish meant losing out on better income-generating options.

The Solution: Enable cosmetic display mode, choose which fish to show, and the game tracks them separately from your profit-generating fish. Your passive income continues from your “best value” fish, while your aquarium looks amazing with your rare Shiny Megalodons or whatever trophy catches you want to display.

Why This Is Huge: Serious collectors can now showcase their rare mutations, shiny variants, and legendary catches without feeling like they’re wasting aquarium space. This fundamentally changes how players interact with the collection aspect of Fisch.

Disable Cutscenes Setting – Finally!

One of the most requested features finally arrived: the ability to skip previously unskippable cutscenes.

How to Enable?

1. Press M to open your menu
2. Click Settings (gear icon)
3. Scroll down to “Disable Cutscenes”
4. Toggle it ON

What This Skips:

• First-time location discovery cutscenes
• Rod acquisition cutscenes
• Quest completion cinematics
• Special event introduction cutscenes

What It Doesn’t Skip:

• Tutorial sequences (required for new players)
• Certain story-critical moments
• Admin event announcements

Community Impact: This change primarily benefits players with multiple accounts or those who’ve seen the cutscenes countless times. If you’re experiencing the content for the first time, I actually recommend leaving cutscenes enabled – some of them are genuinely well-crafted and add atmosphere to the game.

Crate Multi-Open Feature – No More Spam Clicking

Anyone who’s farmed crates knows the pain of clicking “Open” hundreds of times in a row. The developers finally addressed this with the multi-open feature.

How It Works?

When you attempt to open a crate, you now see a slider or input field letting you select how many crates to open simultaneously. Choose your quantity (up to the number you have), confirm, and watch them all open at once.

Benefits:

• Saves enormous amounts of time
• Reduces risk of repetitive strain injury (seriously, clicking 200 times hurt)
• Shows all rewards in a single summary screen
• Makes crate farming actually feel rewarding instead of tedious

Strategic Use: This is especially valuable when you’re grinding for specific materials or using the best money-making methods that involve mass crate opening. Time saved here means more time actually fishing.

Hunt Fish Become Stronger – Combat Changes

Thirteen legendary fish have received significant buffs, making them fight back harder during catches. This affects endgame players more than beginners, but everyone should know what they’re up against.

Affected Fish List

Dragon Variants:

• Colossal Blue Dragon
• Colossal Ancient Dragon
• Colossal Ethereal Dragon

Megalodon Variants:

• Megalodon
• Ancient Megalodon
• Phantom Megalodon

Mossjaw Variants:

• Mossjaw
• Elder Mossjaw

Kraken Variants:

• The Kraken
• Ancient Kraken

Others:

• Additional legendary hunt fish (full list continuously updated)

What “Stronger” Means?

These fish now:

• Deal more damage during the catching minigame
• Have increased escape probability if you fail QTEs (Quick Time Events)
• Require better rods and equipment to reliably catch
• May break weaker fishing lines more frequently

Impact on Gameplay: If you’re attempting to complete your bestiary or farm valuable fish, you’ll need to upgrade your equipment sooner than before. The basic Carbon Rod won’t cut it for these legendary catches anymore.

Recommended Minimum Equipment:

• Rod: Steady Rod or better
• Enchantments: Resilient + Quality
• Bait: Super Flakes minimum (Night Shrimp recommended)

New Limited Shop Items – Exclusive Cosmetics

The update introduced several exclusive items available in the limited-time shop. These won’t be available forever, so grab them while you can.

Axolotl Bundle (799 Robux)

This premium bundle is perfect for players who love cute aquatic themes:

Bundle Contents:

• Axofloatie Boat
• Axolantern (1x)
• Axobobber (1x)

Is It Worth It? If you’re a collector or love unique cosmetics, absolutely. The boat alone would normally cost more than 799 Robux if sold separately, and the matching lantern and bobber complete the aesthetic perfectly.

Bobbers

New Limited Bobbers:

• Spikeplosion (explosion-themed)
• Fuse Bomb (dynamite aesthetic)
• Bundle of TNT (classic TNT design)

These bobbers don’t just look cool – they feature unique visual effects when fish bite, making them popular for content creators recording fishing videos.

Bug Fixes & Quality of Life Improvements

The developers didn’t just add new content – they fixed numerous long-standing issues that have plagued players for weeks.

General Fixes

Sound Settings Fixed:

• Bobbers with unique SFX now respect the “Mute Players (Fishing)” setting
• Fishing rods with idle music (like Cinderstring) now properly respect mute settings
• No more unwanted music when you’re trying to fish peacefully

Console Improvements

• Console players can now click the “More” button in Equipment Bag
• Improved controller support across the board
• Better menu navigation for gamepad users

Performance Optimizations

• Objects and Mutations with animated colors/transparency now run more efficiently
• Reduced server lag during high-population events
• Improved loading times for locations with many objects

How to Redeem the New Code?

Don’t miss out on your free Garnetbreaker rod skin! Here’s exactly how to claim it:

Step-by-Step Code Redemption

1. Launch Fisch on Roblox
2. Wait for full game load (don’t try to enter codes during loading)
3. Press M on keyboard (or tap menu button on mobile)
4. Click Settings (gear icon)
5. Scroll down to find the Codes section
6. Type: MerlinMystery (case-sensitive!)
7. Press Enter or click Redeem

Common Issues:

• If code shows invalid, try rejoining the game
• Make sure you spelled it exactly: MerlinMystery (capital M at start and middle)
• Codes are case-sensitive – “merlinmystery” won’t work
• If still not working, check you haven’t already redeemed it

Strategies for Efficient Shard Farming

Want to collect all four shards as quickly as possible? Here are my proven strategies after farming multiple accounts:

Optimal Farming Route

1. Set Up Your Home Base

• Position yourself near Merlin’s hut for minimum travel time
• Clear your inventory of unnecessary items (you need space for shards)
• Equip a glider if you have one
• Stock up on any potions or buffs you use

2. Scout for Rifts Systematically

• Start at Merlin’s hut and check the immediate area
• Move clockwise around the island checking common spawn points
• Use the elevated positions to spot distant rifts
• Listen for audio cues (rifts make distinctive sounds)

3. Priority Order My recommended shard collection order based on difficulty:

1. Red/Orange (Shard of Embers) – Easiest parkour, good for practice
2. Green (Shard of Roots) – Second easiest, nice bobber reward
3. Blue (Shard of Tides) – Medium difficulty, best-looking reward
4. Purple (Shard of Nebulus) – Hardest parkour, mysterious reward

4. Parkour Practice Before attempting the harder rifts:

• Practice jumping and gliding in safe areas
• Learn your movement speed and jump arc
• Get comfortable with quick directional changes
• Consider using Shift Lock for better camera control

Time-Saving Tips

Server Hopping Strategy: If rifts aren’t spawning frequently enough, consider server hopping:

• Leave your current server
• Join a different server
• Check for rift spawns immediately
• Repeat until you find the color you need

Group Farming: Play with friends and coordinate:

• Multiple people can enter the same rift
• Friends can call out rift spawns in different areas
• Share strategies for difficult parkour sections
• Race each other for fun (and bragging rights)

Optimal Play Times: Rifts spawn on a timer, not based on server population, but:

• Lower population servers have less competition for Black Market items
• Higher population servers often have more people calling out rift locations in chat
• Weekend mornings (before Black Market spawns) offer the best rift farming

Advanced Tips & Hidden Mechanics

After extensive testing, I’ve discovered several mechanics and tips that most guides don’t mention:

Hidden Mechanics

Rift Respawn Timer: While spawns seem random, there’s actually a 2-3 minute cooldown between rift appearances. Once you complete or fail a rift, expect a short wait before another spawns.

Color Rotation Pattern: Rifts don’t spawn in a perfectly random pattern. The game uses a weighted system that prevents the same color from spawning twice in a row, improving your chances of finding the specific color you need.

Parkour Checkpoints: Some of the harder rifts have invisible checkpoints. If you make it past certain sections, you won’t be sent all the way back if you fall after that point.

Pro Player Strategies

The Glider Skip: In certain rifts (particularly blue and purple), you can use advanced glider techniques to skip entire sections. Find a high point, glide at a specific angle, and land directly near the shard.

Mobile Optimization: Mobile players should enable “Always Sprint” in settings and use the fixed joystick option for better parkour control during rifts.

Quality Settings: Lower your graphics settings temporarily when entering rifts. The particle effects can cause frame drops that make parkour significantly harder.

Money-Making During Downtime

While waiting for rifts to spawn, don’t waste time:

• Fish at Sunstone (it has excellent fish variety)
• Complete daily quests if available
• Check for high-value fish spawns
• Farm Common Crates (Sunstone is one of the best crate farming locations)

Community Theories & Future Content Speculation

The Fisch community has been buzzing with theories about where this update leads. Here’s what players are speculating:

The Alien Connection

Most players believe the UFO crash and alien hints are building toward a major questline that will:

• Unlock the mysterious rod for the Gilded Staff skin
• Introduce alien-themed fish to catch
• Add a new island or location (possibly a spaceship interior)
• Feature time-limited events similar to previous updates

Merlin’s Role Moving Forward

With his orb restored (assuming you complete the quest), Merlin might:

• Offer new enchanting services
• Provide access to magical fishing spots
• Start a new questline involving cosmic or dimensional fishing
• Become a vendor for mystical items

Black Market Evolution

The Black Market’s return suggests:

• Regular weekend appearances will continue
• Inventory will rotate with new exclusive items
• Possible expansion to more spawn locations
• Potential for time-limited “flash sales” during special events

Frequently Asked Questions

Are there any new codes in this update?

Yes! The MerlinMystery code gives you the free Garnetbreaker rod skin. Redeem it as soon as possible – codes in Fisch typically expire within 2-4 weeks of release.

What does the Axolotl Bundle include?

The Axolotl Bundle costs 799 Robux and includes:

• Axofloatie Boat
• Axolantern (1x)
• Axobobber (1x)

It’s a complete matching cosmetic set perfect for players who love cute aquatic themes.

Where can I find Merlin?

Merlin is located inside his hut on Sunstone Island at coordinates -943, 224, -988. From Moosewood, travel north-east past Haddock Rock to reach Sunstone Island.

Can I complete Merlin’s quest multiple times?

Yes, you can collect shards and turn them in multiple times. However, you only receive the reward the first time you turn in each colored shard. Subsequent completions don’t grant additional cosmetics.

How often does the Black Market appear?

The Black Market spawns randomly throughout every weekend (Friday evening through Sunday night). It appears globally across all servers, stays until inventory sells out, then respawns later with new inventory at a different location.

What’s the best way to catch the harder Hunt Fish now?

With the buffs to legendary hunt fish, you’ll need better equipment:

• Minimum Rod: Steady Rod or equivalent
• Recommended Enchantments: Resilient (reduces damage) + Quality (better catch rates)
• Best Bait: Night Shrimp or higher
• Strategy: Perfect your QTE timing and consider using potions that boost resilience

Is the UFO quest available yet?

No, the UFO crash site at Roslit is currently just a teaser for upcoming content. Based on developer hints, the actual questline will release in a future update, likely within 1-2 weeks of the Mystery at Sunstone release.

What does the Gilded Staff skin work with?

Currently, the Gilded Staff doesn’t attach to any existing rod in the game. Community consensus is that it’s designed for a secret rod that will be introduced in the upcoming alien questline. Hold onto it – you’ll need it when that content releases.

Do I need special equipment to complete the rifts?

A glider makes the parkour significantly easier, but it’s not strictly required. The Advanced Glider is highly recommended for the purple rift. Otherwise, just good timing and platforming skills are sufficient.

How do I enable cutscene skipping?

Open your menu (M key), go to Settings, scroll down to “Disable Cutscenes,” and toggle it ON. This works for most cutscenes except tutorial sequences and certain story-critical moments.

What’s the best order to collect the shards?

I recommend: Red (easiest, good practice) → Green (still easy, nice reward) → Blue (medium difficulty, best cosmetic) → Purple (hardest, mysterious future item).

Can console players complete the rifts?

Yes! The console improvements in this update actually make rift parkour more manageable. Use the improved Equipment Bag “More” button and optimized controller support to your advantage.

Final Thoughts – Is This Update Worth Your Time?

Absolutely yes. The Mystery at Sunstone update represents one of the most content-rich patches Fisch has received since launch. Between Merlin’s quest offering unique cosmetics, the return of the Black Market providing exclusive items, and quality-of-life improvements that fix long-standing issues, there’s something valuable for every type of player.

Whether you’re a casual fisher who just wants the cool new bobbers and lanterns, a hardcore collector determined to get the mysterious Gilded Staff, or a money-focused player taking advantage of the improved daily rewards system, this update delivers. The parkour challenges add a nice change of pace from pure fishing, the lore hints at exciting future content, and the bug fixes make the entire game experience smoother.

My recommendation? Log in today, redeem that MerlinMystery code for your free rod skin, knock out Merlin’s quest over the weekend while the Black Market is active, and position yourself for whatever alien madness the developers have planned next.

The rifts are calling, Merlin needs your help, and mysterious forces from beyond the stars are watching. It’s time to cast your line, perfect your parkour skills, and become part of Fisch’s biggest mystery yet.

Happy fishing, and may your rifts always spawn in the colors you need! 🎣✨
