How to Get & Crack Geodes in Abyss (March 2026) Complete Guide
Welcome to the most comprehensive Abyss Geode guide available! If you’re struggling to find those elusive Geodes or wondering how to crack them open for powerful Artifacts, you’ve come to the right place. I’ve spent countless hours fishing in the depths of Abyss to bring you everything you need to know about Geodes, from finding them to maximizing your Artifact drops.
Quick Reference: Abyss Geodes Overview
| Geode Type | Location | Opening Cost | Opening Time | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mossy Geode | Forgotten Deep, Ocean | $75 | 1 minute | Early-game progression |
| Cactus Geode | Ancient Sands | $150 | 2 minutes | Mid-game power builds |
| Rooted Geode | Spirit Roots | $225 | 3 minutes | Late-game optimization |
How to Get Geodes in Abyss: The Complete Fishing Method
Getting Geodes in Abyss isn’t just about luck – it’s about technique! Based on my extensive testing, you’ll encounter Geode opportunities approximately 1 in every 5 fishing attempts. Here’s the professional method I’ve developed:
The Treasure Chest Technique
When you’re fishing and suddenly see a treasure chest icon appear on your minigame bar, don’t get excited and rush! This is where most players fail. Here’s exactly what you need to do:
- Fill your main progress bar to 75% – Don’t complete it yet!
- Shift focus to the treasure chest icon – Keep your cursor over this icon until you see a checkmark appear
- Return to complete the main progress bar – Only after securing the treasure chest should you finish catching the fish
- Win the minigame – Complete the catch to receive both the fish AND the Geode
Pro Tip: If you catch the fish too quickly without securing the treasure chest first, you’ll lose the Geode! I learned this the hard way after missing dozens of potential Geodes early in my Abyss journey.
Location-Specific Geode Farming
Each Geode type has its own preferred fishing location. Here’s where to focus your efforts:
Mossy Geodes – Forgotten Deep & Ocean
- Best spots: Around the starting area and shallow waters
- Recommended for: Beginners and early progression
- Success rate: Highest drop rate of all Geode types
Cactus Geodes – Ancient Sands
- Best spots: Desert biome areas with sandy terrain
- Recommended for: Mid-game players with better equipment
- Success rate: Moderate drop rate, better rewards
Rooted Geodes – Spirit Roots
- Best spots: Mystical forest areas with tree roots
- Recommended for: Late-game players seeking Mythical Artifacts
- Success rate: Lowest drop rate but highest potential rewards
How to Crack Geodes: Meeting Virelia NPC
Once you’ve collected some Geodes, it’s time to crack them open! This process involves the mysterious Virelia NPC, who you’ll find in a distinctive location.
Finding Virelia: The Purple Enigma
Virelia is easy to spot once you know where to look:
- Location: Next to the Tubes Shop at Forgotten Deep
- Appearance: Purple-haired NPC with white octopus legs
- Landmark: Look for the circular table emitting a purple aura near the kraken
The Cracking Process: Step-by-Step
- Approach Virelia and press the interact button (F key)
- Select “Yes (Open Artifacts)” from the dialogue options
- Choose your Geodes from your inventory menu
- Review the cost and time requirements
- Confirm the transaction and wait for the timer to complete
- Claim your random Artifact from the Geode’s loot pool
Important Note: Each Geode type has different costs and opening times. Mossy Geodes are cheapest ($75, 1 minute), while Rooted Geodes cost the most ($225, 3 minutes) but offer the best potential rewards.

Advanced Geode Farming Strategies
After mastering the basics, here are some pro strategies I’ve developed to maximize your Geode collection:
The 75% Rule Mastery
The key to consistent Geode collection is perfecting the 75% technique. Here’s my training method:
- Practice in Forgotten Deep where Mossy Geodes are most common
- Focus on timing – count to 3 seconds at 75% before switching to treasure chest
- Use visual cues – watch for the treasure chest glow to intensify
- Stay calm – rushing causes 90% of Geode losses
Biome Rotation Strategy
Instead of camping one location, I recommend this rotation pattern:
- Morning (EST): Forgotten Deep – Highest player activity, more Geode spawns
- Afternoon: Ancient Sands – Less competition, steady Geode rate
- Evening: Spirit Roots – Peak time for rare Geode drops
Economic Optimization
Since cracking Geodes costs money, here’s my financial strategy:
- Save 10 Geodes minimum before cracking (bulk efficiency)
- Prioritize Mossy Geodes early game for quick progression
- Invest in Cactus Geodes mid-game for better returns
- Save Rooted Geodes for late-game when you can afford multiple attempts
Common Mistakes to Avoid
I’ve made every mistake possible so you don’t have to! Here are the most common pitfalls:
Critical Errors That Cost Geodes
- Rushing the treasure chest – The #1 reason players lose Geodes
- Not checking drop rates – Some Artifacts have less than 1% drop chance
- Opening Geodes immediately – Wait for bulk cracking sessions
- Ignoring biome requirements – Wrong location = wrong Geode type
- Forgetting Virelia’s location – She moves during server resets
Financial Mistakes
- Cracking single Geodes – Terrible ROI, always wait for 5+ Geodes
- Ignoring Artifact values – Some Artifacts sell for 10x opening cost
- Not tracking investments – Keep a log of Geode costs vs returns
Platform-Specific Information
Mobile Players
- Advantage: Easier treasure chest tracking with touch controls
- Disadvantage: Smaller screen makes precise timing harder
- Pro Tip: Use two fingers – one for main bar, one for treasure chest
PC Players
- Advantage: Precise mouse control for treasure chest targeting
- Disadvantage: More temptation to rush with faster clicking
- Pro Tip: Lower mouse sensitivity for better precision
Console Players
- Advantage: Consistent controller input
- Disadvantage: Less precise than mouse controls
- Pro Tip: Use controller vibration as timing cue
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you choose which Artifact you get from a Geode?
No, opening a Geode pulls a completely random Artifact from that Geode’s specific loot pool. The drop rates are predetermined and cannot be influenced. However, you can check the exact drop percentages in Virelia’s menu before opening.
Are some Geodes better than others in Abyss?
Absolutely! Cactus and Rooted Geodes are significantly better for late-game progression as they can drop Epic to Mythical Artifacts. Mossy Geodes are great for early-game but their Artifact pool is limited to Common-Legendary rarities.
Where exactly is Virelia NPC located?
Virelia is found next to the Tubes Shop at Forgotten Deep. Look for the distinctive purple-haired NPC with white octopus legs standing near a circular table that emits a purple aura. She’s usually near the kraken area.
How much does it cost to open different Geode types?
- Mossy Geode: $75 and takes 1 minute
- Cactus Geode: $150 and takes 2 minutes
- Rooted Geode: $225 and takes 3 minutes
What’s the best way to farm Geodes efficiently?
The most efficient method is the 75% technique: fill your main progress bar to 75%, then focus exclusively on the treasure chest icon until you secure it, then complete the catch. Also, farm during peak server hours when more players are active.
Can you get Geodes from anything other than fishing?
Currently, fishing is the only way to obtain Geodes in Abyss. They appear randomly as treasure chest icons during the fishing minigame. There are no other methods like defeating enemies or completing quests.
Do Geodes expire or go bad?
No, Geodes do not expire in your inventory. You can store them indefinitely until you’re ready to crack them open. In fact, I recommend saving them for bulk cracking sessions.
