How to Access Crystal Depths for Elpirate Gran Maja?

Step 1: Reach Pirate Cove Island

To begin your hunt for Elpirate Gran Maja, you must first reach Pirate Cove Island:

Spawn a boat on Fisherman Island
Sail to Pirate Cove – follow the name marker when in the ocean
Locate the small lake in the middle of Pirate Cove island

Step 2: Obtain Advanced Diving Gear

The Advanced Diving Gear is absolutely mandatory for accessing Crystal Depths:

Location: Above a small wooden crate near the lake in Pirate Cove
Cost: 1,000,000 Coins
Appearance: Entirely red (unlike the yellow regular Diving Gear)
Alternative: Can be received as a gift from other players

Pro Tip: Given its high cost, prioritize getting a better rod first (like Astral or Hazmat Rod) before purchasing the Advanced Diving Gear. A better rod will help you reel in rarer fish from Crystal Depths more effectively.

Once you have the Advanced Diving Gear:

Equip the gear from your hotbar
Head to the boat in the middle of the lake
Get close to the long pole next to the boat
Press “Descend” when the option appears
Slide down the pole to reach Crystal Depths safely
