Everything You Need to Know about The Desolate Deep in Fisch

Reaching the Desolate Deep

Purchase diving gear. You can purchase Basic Diving Gear for 3000C$ at Moosewood Docks, which is next to The Shipwright NPC. Alternatively, you can save up 15,000C$ and purchase the Advanced Diving Gear at the buoy that marks the entrance to Desolate Deep. The Basic Diving Gear should be enough, but the Advanced Diving Gear will help ensure you have enough air. Other items you may want to purchase include flippers and a GPS.

Drive between the Statue of Sovereignty and Sunstone Island. They are in the North/North East direction. You can travel by boat. When you sail past Sunstone Island, you may see a large rock. Stay to the left of the large rock.

Locate the red buoy. When you keep sailing North past Sunstone Island, you will eventually find a red buoy. This marks the entrance to Desolate Deep. If you are having a hard time finding the exact location, the coordinates are about (X: -791, Y: 142, Z: -3102) on a GPS.https://fisch.fandom.com/wiki/Desolate_Deep.

Navigating the Desolate Deep

Equip your diving gear. If you don’t already have Basic Diving Gear, you can purchase some Advanced Diving Gear at the red buoy for 15,000C$. It is quite dark at the bottom of the deep. In order to see, it is recommended that you turn up your brightness settings on your monitor and in the Settings menu in the game so that you can see.

Swim straight down. The entrance to the Desolate Deep is straight down below the red buoy. When you reach the bottom, you will find a sign and a passage to the left and to the right. Warning: Beware of mines. The Desolate Deep is filled with naval mines that will kill you when you make contact with them.

Take the passageway to the left. If you take the passageway on the left, you’ll come to a merchant that sells flippers, super flippers, Advanced Diving Gear (if you missed it), crab cages, and a Reinforced Rod, which you will need to fish in the Brine Pool. The Reinforced Rod costs 20,000C$.

Take the passageway on the right. If you went left first, return the way you came until you get back the sign. The right is the way you want to go. This is where you can get the Desolate Pocket and the Brine Pool. Again, watch out for mines along the way.

Locate the Desolate Pocket. When you follow the passageway on the right, you will eventually reach the Desolate Pocket. This is a large open area with a cave island in the middle. Here you can do some fishing, There is also a merchant, an innkeeper, and a guy holding a lantern. Items the merchant has for sale include: crab cages, a conception conch, basic diving gear, flippers, a tidebreaker, a coral geode, and a glider, which you will need to get to the Brine Pool. If you plan on getting all the fish in Desolate Deep, it is recommended that you set the Desolate Deep as your spawn point with the innkeeper. If you want to leave Desolate Deep quickly, there is a mirror on the upper-floor of the island in the middle of Desolate Pocket. This will teleport you back to Sunstone Island.

Getting to the Brine Pool

Purchase the glider. You can purchase the glider from the merchant on the island in the middle of the Desolate Pocket for C$900.

Find the NPC with the lantern. He is standing on the island in the middle of the Desolate Pocket. The lantern is pointing in the direction of the rocks you need to climb to get to the Brine Pool.

Cross to the rocks on the other side. You can swim straight across in the direction the NPC is pointing his lantern. Cross the pond to the rocks along the wall on the other side.

Climb to the top of the rocks. There is a winding pathway on the other side where the rocks are. Follow the pathway until you reach a wooden plank connecting two ledges at the top. Cross the wooden plank to the ledge on the other side.

Use the glider to reach the next ledge. Once you reach the ledge that the wooden plank leads to, equip the glider and use it to continue straight. Glide along the edge of the rocks until you reach another platform a little ways further down the side of the wall.

Climb to the cave at the top of the ledges. Once you reach the platforms with the glider, continue climbing the rocks until you find a small cave.

Follow the cave to the Brine Pool. The Brine Pool is a large open area at the end of the cave with glowing green water. You will need the Reinforced Rod to fish here. There is a small crevice near the entrance to the Brine Pool that has some Aurora Totems available for purchase for about 500,000C$. They are quite expensive, but they increase your luck by a lot.
