Table of Contents
The ultimate prize of the new Fisch update has been revealed: the legendary Evil Pitchfork Rod. To forge this powerful piece of gear, players must first complete the Crimson King’s quest, a multi-part adventure that requires you to find five hidden fragments scattered throughout the new Luminescent and Crimson Caverns. This guide will provide a detailed, step-by-step walkthrough for each fragment quest, using tables and lists to help you claim the ultimate reward.
The Crimson King’s Quest: A Complete Walkthrough
To begin, you must speak with the Crimson King, who is found inside the red area of the new cavern system. He will task you with finding five fragments, each obtained by completing a short quest for the various NPCs who inhabit the caves.
1. Talo’s Fragment (The Plant Collection)
This is the easiest fragment to obtain and serves as a great starting point for the questline.
- NPC: Talo
- Task: You must collect five glowing plants found throughout the cavern. These plants are very easy to find and respawn quickly, allowing you to complete this task in less than a minute.
- Strategy: Simply walk around the main areas of the cavern and pick up the first five plants you see. Once you have all five, return to Talo to receive his fragment.
2. Vimble’s Fragment (The Desolate Deep Fish)
For this task, you’ll need to put your fishing skills to the test.
- NPC: Vimble, a small purple character located near the cavern’s entrance.
- Task: Vimble will ask you to catch two specific fish for him. Both of these are described as “really easy catches”.
- Required Fish:
| Fish Name | Location |
| Atlantean Barb Shark | Desolate Deep |
| Atlantan Emperor Fish | Desolate Deep |
- Strategy: The most efficient way to complete this quest is to catch both fish in the Desolate Deep before speaking to Vimble. This will allow you to turn them in immediately and receive his fragment without delay.
3. Roco’s Fragment (The Colossal Dragon)
This fragment requires a bit of patience, as you’ll need to hunt down a rare and powerful fish.
- NPC: Roco, who can be found in the blue area of the caverns.
- Task: You must catch one Colossal Ancient Dragon. This is a red variant of the ancient dragon and is only found in the red area of the cavern.
- Strategy:
- Travel to the red cavern area and find a good fishing spot.
- Use Sundial Totems to speed up the in-game time until the rare dragon spawns.
- Ensure you are using a strong rod and high-tier bait, as this will be a challenging catch. Once caught, return to Roco to claim the fragment.
4. Wixie’s Fragment (The Crystal Shards)
This quest will have you searching the caves for hidden items.
- NPC: Wixie
- Task: Collect 8 Crystal Fragments hidden on the large crystals throughout the caverns.
- Fragment Locations:
| Fragment Location | Amount to Find |
| Red Cavern Area | 4 Fragments |
| Blue Cavern Area | 4 Fragments |
- Strategy: This task is very easy and should only take a couple of minutes. Simply walk up to every large crystal in both the red and blue areas and hover your cursor over them. If a fragment is present, you will be able to grab it.
5. The Final Fragment (The Two-Person Lever Puzzle)
This is the most complex fragment to obtain and requires teamwork.
- Requirement: This quest requires two players.
- Task: Two players must pull two levers at the same time to open a secret, timed gate.
- Lever Locations:
| Lever | Location |
| Red Lever | In the back of the red cavern area. |
| Blue Lever | In the back of the blue bioluminescent cavern, behind the small mushroom house. |
- Timed Run Walkthrough:
- Have one player stand at each lever.
- Coordinate a countdown and have both players pull the levers simultaneously.
- You will hear a “strange rumbling” sound, which indicates the timed gate has opened.
- You and your friend must then quickly run to the area where you first placed the Keystones to enter the cavern.
- A new gate on the left side of this area will now be open. Rush inside and grab the fragment before the timer runs out. It is recommended to do this during the day, as the path can be very dark.
The Ultimate Reward: The Evil Pitchfork Rod
Once you have successfully collected all five fragments, your work is nearly done.
Crafting the Rod
- The Evil Sigil: Return to the Crimson King and turn in all five fragments. As a reward, he will give you the Evil Sigil.
- Crafting: Take the Evil Sigil to the crafting anvil in the main game area. You will now be able to craft the Evil Pitchfork Rod.
