Are you ready to master the Tidefall update and unlock the powerful rod upgrades in Fisch? Getting all three Essences – Requis, Tide, and Thalass – is crucial for progressing through the Mermaid content and accessing the Infusion Altar’s incredible upgrade potential. As a seasoned Fisch player who has spent countless hours exploring the depths of Tidefall, I’m here to share everything you need to know about obtaining these rare Essences efficiently.

Quick Overview: All Essences at a Glance

Essence	Location	How to Obtain	Required Items	Difficulty
Requis Essence	Sunken Reliquary	Complete 2nd Magical Diver quest	Fallen Flying Gurnurd, Omnithal	Medium
Tide Essence	Tidefall (any area)	Mine Dripstones during Dripstone Collapse	Pickaxe, Dripstone Collapse event	Easy-Medium
Thalass Essence	Tidefall (any area)	Mine Dripstones during Dripstone Collapse	Pickaxe, Dripstone Collapse event	Easy-Medium

Getting Started: Preparing for Tidefall

Before diving into Essence collection, you’ll need proper preparation. Based on my experience, here’s what you absolutely need:

Essential Equipment:

Submarine: Crucial for reaching Tidefall’s depths without drowning
Advanced Diving Gear: Extends underwater breathing time significantly
Super Flippers: Available in Tidefall for 30,000 C$, dramatically improves swimming speed
Pickaxe: Absolutely essential for mining Dripstones during collapse events
Abyssal Tonic: Temporary pressure immunity (500 C$ from Tidefall vendors)

Accessing Tidefall:

Tidefall is located at GPS coordinates 3223, 130, 850 and is only accessible through the Underwater Opening in the Ocean. You’ll need to complete the initial Lost Diver quest to gain proper access, which involves:

Using a submarine to reach the deep ocean area
Finding the Lost Diver near a wrecked submarine
Returning him to complete the Rescue Diver quest
Receiving Abyssal Tonic as a reward

How to Get Requis Essence: The Quest-Based Approach

Requis Essence is unique among the three because it’s obtained through a specific questline rather than random drops. Here’s my step-by-step method:

Step 1: Meet the Requirements

Level 100+: The Magical Diver won’t interact with you below this level
Location: Head to Sunken Reliquary (GPS: 2996, -1101, -40)
Quest Progress: Must complete the first Magical Diver quest first

Step 2: Complete the First Quest

The initial quest requires finding a Fallen Flying Gurnurd. Based on my experience:

Use the Fallen Rod (175,000 C$ from Tidefall vendors) for best results
Fish in the Sunken Reliquary area where the Magical Diver is located
The Fallen Flying Gurnurd has a relatively low spawn rate, so patience is key

Step 3: The Second Quest (Requis Essence Reward)

Once you complete the first quest, the Magical Diver will offer the second quest requiring:

Fallen Flying Gurnurd (same as first quest)
Omnithal (1% spawn chance in Sunken Reliquary during the day)

Pro Tips for Omnithal:

Fish during daytime hours in the Sunken Reliquary pool
Consider using private server links for better control over spawn conditions
The Awakened Omnithal variant has a 0.1% spawn chance but may also work for the quest

Step 4: Claim Your Requis Essence

Once you deliver both fish to the Magical Diver, you’ll automatically receive the Requis Essence in your inventory. No additional steps required!

How to Get Tide and Thalass Essence: The Dripstone Collapse Method

Tide and Thalass Essences are obtained through the Dripstone Collapse event system. Here’s everything you need to know:

Understanding Dripstone Collapse Events

Dripstone Collapse is a timed environmental event exclusive to Tidefall where special mineral formations (Dripstones) spawn throughout the cave system. These can be mined for Essence drops.

Two Methods to Trigger Dripstone Collapse:

Method 1: Natural Spawning (Free but Random)

Use the sundial to advance time
Wait for the on-screen announcement indicating Dripstone Collapse has begun
This method is completely free but unpredictable

Method 2: Dripstone Collapse Totem (Instant but Expensive)

Purchase the Dripstone Collapse Totem for 35,000,000 C$ from Tidefall vendors
Use it in Tidefall to instantly trigger a Dripstone Collapse
Located near the Fallen Rod in the central Tidefall hub

My Recommendation: If you’re planning to farm multiple Essence sets (which you should, as I’ll explain later), the totem is worth the investment. It converts waiting time into guaranteed farming sessions.

The Mining Process: Step-by-Step

Ensure You Have a Pickaxe: This is non-negotiable – other tools won’t work
Trigger the Event: Either wait naturally or use your totem
Watch for the Announcement: The game will notify you when Dripstone Collapse begins
Locate Dripstones: These appear as distinctive mineral formations throughout Tidefall
Mine Every Dripstone: Each has an independent chance to drop Essence
Repeat Until Success: You might get rock instead of Essence, so persistence is key

Drop Rates and Farming Strategy

Based on extensive testing, here’s what I’ve observed:

Each Dripstone has approximately a 15-20% chance to drop an Essence
50/50 split between Tide and Thalass Essence when they do drop
You can get both Essences from the same collapse event
Multiple Essences can drop from different Dripstones in one event

Efficient Farming Strategy:

Use the totem for guaranteed events
Mine every single Dripstone you can find
Focus on clearing entire areas before moving to the next
Keep track of which areas have the most Dripstone spawns

Using the Essences: The Infusion Altar

Once you have all three Essences, it’s time to use them at the Infusion Altar in the Sunken Reliquary.

Location and Setup

GPS Coordinates: Sunken Reliquary, end of the main hallway
Three Pedestals: Each corresponds to one Essence type
Mella Summoning: Placing all three Essences summons the Mermaid Mella

The Upgrade Process

Place All Three Essences on their respective pedestals
Interact with the Infusion Altar
Choose the Fishing Rod Upgrade option
Select Your Rod to upgrade beyond standard limits

CRITICAL: Essence Consumption

Here’s something many guides don’t emphasize enough: After one upgrade, all three Essences are consumed – UNLESS you use a Divine Secret fish during the upgrade process.

My Strategy:

Always have a Divine Secret fish ready when upgrading
This preserves your Essences for multiple upgrades
Divine Secret fish can be caught using our comprehensive guide

Advanced Tips and Pro Strategies

Essence Preservation Tactics

Multiple Sets: Farm 2-3 complete sets before upgrading
Divine Secret Priority: Always use Divine Secret fish for upgrades
Strategic Planning: Plan your rod upgrades in advance to maximize Essence efficiency

Money Making Integration

The Tidefall area offers excellent money making opportunities while you wait for Dripstone Collapse events:

Fish for rare species in various Tidefall sublocations
Complete bestiaries for substantial rewards (50,000-80,000 C$ each)
Sell valuable items like Coral Rods and various spears

Optimal Farming Routes

Based on my extensive exploration, here are the best Dripstone farming locations:

Central Tidefall Hub: Most Dripstone spawns per event
Collapsed Ruins: Good secondary location with multiple spawn points
Coral Bastion: Fewer spawns but less competition in public servers

Server Strategy

Use private servers for uninterrupted farming
Public servers work fine but may have competition for Dripstones
Consider server hopping during natural Dripstone Collapse events

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Beginner Errors:

Forgetting the Pickaxe: I can’t stress this enough – you NEED a pickaxe!
Ignoring Level Requirements: Must be level 100+ for Magical Diver quests
Wasting Essences: Using them without Divine Secret fish when possible

Advanced Mistakes:

Poor Planning: Not having multiple Essence sets before upgrading
Inefficient Farming: Not mining every Dripstone during collapse events
Missing Divine Secret Opportunities: Not preparing Divine Secret fish for upgrades

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to get all Essences?

Based on my experience, expect 2-4 hours for a complete set if using the Dripstone Collapse Totem, or 4-8 hours if waiting for natural events.

Can I get multiple Essences from one Dripstone?

No, each Dripstone drops either one Essence, one rock, or nothing. You need to mine multiple Dripstones.

Do Essences expire?

No, Essences don’t expire in your inventory. However, they’re consumed when used at the Infusion Altar (unless using Divine Secret fish).

What’s the best rod for catching the quest fish?

The Fallen Rod (175,000 C$) is specifically designed for Tidefall and works best for both the Fallen Flying Gurnurd and Omnithal.

Can I trade Essences with other players?

No, Essences are untradeable and must be obtained personally through the methods described.

Is the Dripstone Collapse Totem worth it?

Absolutely! If you plan to upgrade multiple rods or want to avoid the randomness of natural spawns, the 35M C$ investment pays for itself in time saved.
