Step 1: Unlocking the Luminescent Cavern

Finding Your Required Keystones

Before embarking on your keystone hunt, you must first determine which 3 specific keystones your character needs. Here’s the essential process:

Navigate to Desolate Deep: Swim to the back of Sunstone Island
Locate the Red Buoy: Dive beneath it with proper diving equipment
Find the Mysterious Crack: Head right toward the glowing blue coral formations
Interact with Pedestals: Three pedestals will display symbols showing your required keystones

Pro Tip: Take a screenshot of your required keystone symbols before starting your collection journey. This saves countless trips back to check requirements!

Complete Keystone Location Guide

Each keystone has a specific location across Fisch’s vast world. Here are all 9 possible locations with precise coordinates:

Keystone	Island Location	Coordinates	Exact Location Details
Cliff	Castaway Cliffs	473, 230, -2159	Small gap beside the ledge leading to second level
Mushroom	Mushgrove Islands	2666, 130, -717	On top of boat near Alligator abundance area
Fossil	Ancient Isles	6065, 225.5, 259.5	Heap of wood lifted by cranes near merchant

Keystone Collection Strategy

Batch Collection Method: If playing with friends, coordinate to collect different keystones simultaneously and share location information for tricky spots.

Equipment Optimization: Always carry a bright light source, especially for the Snowflake Keystone location which is nearly impossible to find without proper lighting.

Server Considerations: Some keystones may be easier to access in less crowded servers where you won’t compete with other players.

Opening the Cavern

Once you’ve collected your three required keystones:

Return to the Diver NPC at the Desolate Deep pedestals
Equip each keystone and press “E” to place it on its matching pedestal
A mysterious crack will open in the cavern wall
Swim through the crack and cross the Mysterious River
Welcome to the Luminescent Cavern!

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to complete the Luminescent Cavern Bestiary?

With optimal conditions and good RNG, experienced players can complete it in 4-6 hours. New players should expect 8-12 hours spread across multiple sessions.

Can I trade fish for bestiary completion?

No, traded fish don’t count toward bestiary completion. You must catch each creature yourself for it to register in your collection.

What happens if I place the wrong keystone?

The game displays an error message indicating which keystone is actually needed. You can pick up the wrong keystone and try again without penalty.

Do I need special rods for success?

While not mandatory, rods with glow effects or light enchantments provide significant advantages. The No-Life Rod or better is recommended for exotic catches.

Does the cavern stay open permanently?

Yes! Once you’ve opened the cavern, it remains accessible for your entire character, encouraging repeated visits and community gameplay.

Is the Colossal Blue Dragon guaranteed to spawn?

No, it’s an exotic spawn with approximately 1-3% base chance. Using Sundial Totems and fishing during special events increases these odds significantly.
