Fisch Mariana's Awakening Guide: How to Get All 5 Gauntlets

The Mariana's Awakening update in Fisch drops you into one of the most layered quest progressions the game has seen. Five NPCs spread across the depths of Mariana's Veil each hand you a pair of fishing challenges, and clearing all of them is the only way to unlock the Obsidian Trench. Every quest ties you to a specific rod, mutation, bait, season, time, and weather, so winging it will cost you a lot of time. This guide covers every confirmed Gauntlet quest with exact GPS coordinates and fish conditions so you can work through the whole chain without guessing.

What are the 5 Gauntlets in Fisch Mariana's Awakening?

Each Gauntlet is tied to a named NPC stationed at a different layer of Mariana's Veil. Completing both of that NPC's fishing challenges earns you their Gauntlet. Collect all five and the Obsidian Trench becomes accessible. The difficulty scales as you go deeper, and the rod requirements change at every stop, so read ahead before you commit to grinding.

Here's the full chain at a glance:

Gauntlet 1: How to complete Ignis's quest at Volcanic Vents

Ignis stands opposite the Volcanic Rod at GPS: (-3343, -2028, 4076) in Volcanic Vents. Talk to him to receive two objectives.

Ignis quest requirements:

• Perfect Catch 2 Ashen Fortune Charred Coelacanth with the Volcanic Rod
• Catch 1 Ashen Fortune Obsidian-Plated Piranha with the Volcanic Rod

Fish conditions for Ignis

The Charred Coelacanth requires two Perfect Catches, so slow down on the fishing minigame instead of rushing through it. Equipping the Mutated Sharky Companion before you start helps with mutation rates across both objectives.

Return to Ignis after completing both tasks to receive the Volcanic Gauntlet.

Gauntlet 2: How to complete Glacius's quest at Challenger's Deep

Head to Challenger's Deep after finishing with Ignis. Glacius waits opposite the Challenger's Deep Rod at GPS: (738, -3355, -1529).

Glacius quest requirements:

• Catch 3 Chilled Hoarfrost Halibut with the Challenger's Rod
• Perfect Catch 1 Chilled Glacial Gulper with the Challenger's Rod

Fish conditions for Glacius

Both fish need Winter conditions, but they spawn at opposite times of day, so plan your sessions around the in-game clock. A Glitched Potion stacked with the Mutated Sharky Companion is the recommended setup here.

Finishing both objectives rewards you with the Challenger's Gauntlet.

Gauntlet 3: How to complete Tenebris's quest at Abyssal Zenith

Tenebris is on the third layer of Mariana's Veil at GPS: (-1043.4, -1043.7, 84.7), positioned across from the Anglerfish Pond.

Tenebris quest requirements:

• Catch 2 Wrath Lumin-Lure Lanternfish with the Rod of the Zenith
• Perfect Catch 1 Wrath Void-Drifter Jelly with the Rod of the Zenith

Fish conditions for Tenebris

Both fish are night-only catches, so there's no juggling time windows here. The Void-Drifter Jelly needs a Perfect Catch, so treat it the same way as the Charred Coelacanth: patience over speed.

Speak with Tenebris again after both catches to collect the Abyssal Gauntlet.

Gauntlet 4: How to complete Luminis's quest at the Calm Zone

Luminis is located in the Calm Zone. The Ethereal Prism Rod you need for his quests is available in the same area at GPS: (-4360, -11175, 3715).

Luminis quest requirements:

• Catch 4 Geode Grouper with the Ethereal Prism Rod
• Perfect Catch 2 Pearl-Plated Pleco with the Ethereal Prism Rod

Fish conditions for Luminis

Both fish are daytime catches in clear weather, which makes this the most straightforward quest window in the chain. The Geode Grouper count of 4 is the highest single-fish requirement so far, so stock up on Crustacean Mix before you start.

Completing both objectives earns you the Calm Gauntlet.

Gauntlet 5: How to complete Resonus's quest at the Veil of the Forsaken

Resonus is the final NPC, stationed at the Veil of the Forsaken, the deepest layer of Mariana's Veil. Before heading there, you need the Leviathan's Fang Rod, which becomes available for purchase after defeating Scylla. The rod costs 350,000 C$.

Resonus quest requirements:

• Perfect Catch 5 Gargoyle Goby with the Leviathan's Fang Rod
• Perfect Catch 3 Wraith-Whisper Ray with the Leviathan's Fang Rod

Fish conditions for Resonus

This is the hardest quest in the chain. Both fish require Perfect Catches and the Gargoyle Goby demands 5 of them. Stack the Mutated Sharky Companion and a Glitched Potion before you start. Both fish are night-only in foggy conditions, so at least you're not juggling time windows.

Return to Resonus after catching everything to claim the Veiled Gauntlet and complete the full Mariana's Awakening quest chain.

What to do after collecting all 5 Gauntlets
