Are you struggling to obtain the three powerful essences in Fisch’s Tidefall update? These mystical items are crucial for unlocking the Infusion Altar and accessing Thalassar’s Secret, but many players find themselves lost in the depths of Tidefall trying to farm them. As someone who has spent countless hours exploring every corner of this massive underwater expansion, I’m here to guide you through the complete process of obtaining Requis, Tide, and Thalass Essence.

Quick Overview: Fisch Tidefall Essences

Essence Type	Obtained Through	Difficulty Level	Time Required
Requis Essence	Magical Diver Quest	Hard	2-6 hours
Tide Essence	Dripstone Collapse Event	Medium	30 mins – 2 hours
Thalass Essence	Dripstone Collapse Event	Medium	30 mins – 2 hours

What Are Essences and Why Do You Need Them?

Before diving into the specifics, let’s understand why these essences are so valuable in the 2026 Fisch meta. Essences are rare crafting materials introduced in the Tidefall update that serve two primary purposes:

Infusion Altar Upgrades: Use essences to enhance your fishing rods with powerful stat boosts
Thalassar Secret Quest: Required to progress through the mysterious Thalassar storyline

The three essences work together as a set, and you’ll need all of them to access the most powerful upgrades in Tidefall. Each essence has its own unique acquisition method, ranging from challenging quests to RNG-based farming events.

How to Get Requis Essence: The Quest Method

Requis Essence is arguably the most challenging to obtain since it requires completing a specific questline. Here’s everything you need to know:

Prerequisites for Requis Essence

Before you can start the Requis Essence quest, you must meet these requirements:

Level 100 or higher: The Magical Diver NPC won’t interact with you below this level
Access to Tidefall: Complete the initial Tidefall unlock quest
175,000 C$: Needed to purchase the Fallen Rod
Patience: This quest involves rare fish hunting

Step-by-Step Requis Essence Guide

Step 1: Navigate to Sunken Reliquary The Sunken Reliquary is one of the six sublocations within Tidefall. Use these coordinates to find it: 2996 X, -1101Z, -40Y. This area is characterized by ancient ruins and glowing underwater flora.

Step 2: Locate the Magical Diver NPC The Magical Diver is a mysterious NPC who appears as a glowing figure in diving gear. You’ll find him near the center of Sunken Reliquary. If you’re below level 100, he’ll say: “The depths require a stronger soul. Return when you’ve grown.”

Step 3: Accept the Quest Once you’re level 100+, interact with the Magical Diver to receive the quest. He’ll speak of “a Flying Gurnard, but not as nature intended. Twisted by forgotten magic, fallen from grace.” Your task is to find and catch a Fallen Flying Gurnard.

Step 4: Purchase the Fallen Rod Head to the Drowned Appraiser area in Tidefall and purchase the Fallen Rod for 175,000 C$. This specialized rod is essential for catching the mutated fish.

Step 5: Catch the Fallen Flying Gurnard This is the most challenging part of the quest. Here are the key details:

Location: Sunken Reliquary only
Catch Rate: 1 in 846 chance (extremely rare)
Required Rod: Fallen Rod (50% chance for Fallen mutation)
Best Strategy: Use Aura Totem and luck-boosting items

Pro Tips for Catching Fallen Flying Gurnard:

Fish during optimal weather conditions (clear weather preferred)
Use the best bait available (Quality Bait Crate recommended)
Activate any luck-boosting items or potions
Fish in multiple spots within Sunken Reliquary
Consider using a Dripstone Collapse Totem to trigger events that might increase spawn rates

Step 6: Return to Magical Diver Once you successfully catch the Fallen Flying Gurnard, return to the Magical Diver. He’ll reward you with the Requis Essence and a Requies Cosmic Relic ×1.

How to Get Tide and Thalass Essence: Dripstone Collapse Method

Unlike Requis Essence, Tide and Thalass Essences are obtained through the Dripstone Collapse event, which occurs randomly in Tidefall or can be triggered manually.

Understanding Dripstone Collapse Events

Dripstone Collapse is a localized weather event exclusive to Tidefall where mystical stones fall from the ceiling of the cave system. These stones can contain various rewards, including the essences you need.

Method 1: Natural Dripstone Collapse

Step 1: Wait for the Event Dripstone Collapse events occur randomly in Tidefall servers. You’ll know when one starts when you see the message: “You hear stone crack above… Dripstones are falling!”

Step 2: Locate the Dripstones The stones spawn at random locations throughout Tidefall. Look for glowing, crystalline formations hanging from the ceiling or fallen on the ground.

Step 3: Mine with Pickaxe Use any pickaxe to mine the dripstones. Each stone has a chance to drop:

Tide Essence
Thalass Essence
Regular rocks (most common outcome)

Method 2: Manual Dripstone Collapse (Recommended)

Step 1: Purchase Dripstone Collapse Totem Visit the central Tidefall area and buy the Dripstone Collapse Totem for 7,500,000 C$ (Note: Some sources mention 35,000,000 C$, but the official wiki lists 7.5M).

Step 2: Activate the Totem Use the totem in any area of Tidefall to instantly trigger a Dripstone Collapse event. This is much more efficient than waiting for natural events.

Step 3: Farm the Event Once the event starts, quickly move between dripstone locations, mining each one. The event lasts for a limited time, so efficiency is key.

Farming Strategy for Tide and Thalass Essence

Optimal Farming Setup:

Best Pickaxe: Use the highest-tier pickaxe available
Luck Boosters: Activate any luck-increasing items
Server Hopping: Move between different servers to find fresh events
Team Coordination: Work with other players to cover more ground

Success Rate Tips:

Each dripstone has approximately a 10-15% chance to drop an essence
You can get both Tide and Thalass from the same event
Events typically spawn 5-10 dripstones
Average essence per event: 1-2

Advanced Tips and Strategies

Maximizing Your Efficiency

For Requis Essence:

Level up to at least 150 before attempting the quest for better catch rates
Stock up on Quality Bait Crates (525 C$ each)
Consider buying multiple Aura Totems for increased luck
Fish during server off-peak hours for less competition

For Tide/Thalass Essence:

Save up 15M C$ to buy two Dripstone Collapse Totems
Create a farming route covering all major Tidefall areas
Join a dedicated Fisch community to coordinate essence farming
Keep track of event timers to optimize your farming sessions

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Wrong Location: Don’t try to catch the Fallen Flying Gurnard outside Sunken Reliquary
Wrong Rod: Using any rod other than the Fallen Rod for the quest fish
Impatience: The Fallen Flying Gurnard has an extremely low spawn rate
Wasting Totems: Don’t use Dripstone Collapse Totems in areas with poor accessibility
Poor Timing: Avoid farming during peak server hours when competition is high

Using Your Essences

Once you’ve collected all three essences, you can use them in several ways:

Infusion Altar Upgrades

The Infusion Altar in Tidefall allows you to enhance your fishing rods:

Stat Boosts: Increase luck, speed, or catch rate
Special Abilities: Unlock unique rod abilities
Visual Effects: Add cosmetic enhancements to your gear

Thalassar Secret Quest

Progress through the mysterious Thalassar storyline by offering the essences at specific altars throughout Tidefall. This unlocks exclusive rewards and lore content.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Q: Why can’t I find the Magical Diver? A: Ensure you’re in Sunken Reliquary at coordinates 2996, -1101, -40. The NPC may not appear if you’re below level 100.

Q: My Dripstone Collapse Totem isn’t working A: Make sure you’re in a valid Tidefall location and have enough inventory space. Try rejoining the server if issues persist.

Q: I’ve been fishing for hours without catching the Fallen Flying Gurnard A: This is normal due to the 1 in 846 catch rate. Consider using luck-boosting items and fishing during optimal conditions.

Q: Can I trade essences with other players? A: No, essences are soulbound and cannot be traded once obtained.
