How to Unlock Atlantis in Fisch: Complete Guide

Atlantis is the most exciting location added to Fisch, featuring 59 exclusive fish species, legendary rods, powerful totems, and unique events like Poseidon's Wrath and Zeus Storm. However, accessing this hidden underwater city requires completing a multi-step quest involving TNT, levers, and the Heart of Zeus. Here's the complete guide to unlocking Atlantis.

Requirements to Unlock Atlantis

Before starting the Atlantis unlock quest, you need:

10,000 Coins - To bribe the Mysterious Pirate Captain and start the quest
A Boat - For traveling between Grand Reef and Forsaken Shores
GPS Tool - Helpful for navigating to exact coordinates (optional but recommended)
Time and Patience - The lever hunt takes 15-30 minutes depending on your familiarity with Forsaken Shores

Step 1: Start the Quest at Grand Reef

The Atlantis unlock quest begins with the Mysterious Pirate Captain at Grand Reef.

Finding the Mysterious Pirate Captain

Navigate to Grand Reef and locate the Mysterious Pirate Captain at coordinates -3809.9, 136.4, 567.3. He's standing near the central island area of Grand Reef.

Starting the Quest

Talk to the Mysterious Pirate Captain
Ask him about the Old Temple in Grand Reef
He'll demand a 10,000 coin bribe for the information
Pay the coins to accept the quest
He'll tell you about five levers at Forsaken Shores that unlock TNT

Important: Without paying the 10,000 coins, the pirate won't reveal the lever locations or give you access to the TNT needed for unlocking Atlantis.

Step 2: Find All 5 Levers at Forsaken Shores

After starting the quest, travel to Forsaken Shores to locate and activate five hidden levers scattered across the island.

Lever 1: Near the Merchant

The first lever is located close to the Forsaken Shores merchant. Look around the merchant's immediate area—the lever is positioned near the building where you buy items and sell fish.

Lever 2: Forsaken Shores Pond Waterfall

Travel to the pond area on Forsaken Shores and locate the waterfall. The second lever is positioned near or behind the waterfall. You may need to walk into the waterfall area to see it clearly.

Lever 3: On the Bridge

Find the bridge structure at Forsaken Shores. The third lever is mounted directly on the bridge itself. Walk across the bridge and look for the lever mechanism attached to the bridge railings or support structure.

Lever 4: Naval Cave Entrance

Locate the naval cave entrance on Forsaken Shores. The fourth lever is positioned at or very near the entrance to this cave. Check both sides of the cave entrance if you don't immediately spot it.

Lever 5: Right Side at Skin Shop Area

The fifth and final lever is located on the right side near the skin shop area of Forsaken Shores. Explore the right-hand section of the island near this landmark to find the last lever.

Activating the Levers

Once you locate each lever, interact with it to pull it down and activate it. You'll see a visual indication that the lever has been activated. You must activate all five levers to complete this step—activating only some of them won't work.

Pro Tip: If you're having trouble finding levers, increase your game brightness and explore systematically. Check behind objects, near buildings, and around natural features like waterfalls and caves.

Step 3: Claim the TNT

After successfully pulling all five levers at Forsaken Shores, return to the area behind the Jack Marrow NPC.

TNT Location

The TNT appears behind Jack Marrow NPC on Forsaken Shores after all five levers are activated. Walk to his location and look for the TNT barrel that has spawned.

Collecting TNT

Approach the TNT barrel
Interact with it to add TNT to your inventory
Verify the TNT is in your inventory before leaving Forsaken Shores

You now have the explosive needed to access the Old Temple at Grand Reef.

Step 4: Destroy the Temple Entrance at Grand Reef

With TNT in your inventory, return to Grand Reef to access the hidden Old Temple beneath the island.

Finding the Old Temple

Return to the Grand Reef central island where you originally talked to the Mysterious Pirate Captain. From the surface, dive underwater near the island's center.

Locating the Blocked Entrance

Swim underwater and look for the Old Temple entrance blocked by rocks. This stone barrier prevents access to the temple interior where the Heart of Zeus is hidden.

Using TNT to Blow the Entrance

Swim close to the blocked entrance
Equip the TNT from your inventory
Place or activate the TNT near the rock barrier
The explosion will destroy the rocks, revealing the temple entrance
Swim through the now-open passage into the Old Temple

Safety Note: Make sure you have adequate oxygen and diving gear if needed. The underwater section requires you to hold your breath or use diving equipment.

Step 5: Claim the Heart of Zeus

Inside the Old Temple, you'll find the Heart of Zeus—the key item required to access Atlantis.

Navigating the Temple Interior

Swim through the temple corridors until you reach the chamber containing the Heart of Zeus. The temple interior is straightforward with a clear path to the artifact.

Collecting the Heart of Zeus

Approach the Heart of Zeus displayed in the temple chamber
Interact with it to add the Heart to your inventory
Swim back out of the temple and return to the surface

The Heart of Zeus is now in your possession and can be used to open the portal to Atlantis.

Step 6: Use Heart of Zeus to Enter Atlantis

The final step involves using the Heart of Zeus at a specific location on the Grand Reef island to open the Atlantis portal.

Finding the Portal Location

On the surface of the Grand Reef central island, locate the thunderstruck area or crevice at coordinates -3576, 148, 524. This distinctive area features visual effects that indicate it's special.

Activating the Portal

Stand directly on top of the thunderstruck area/crevice
Open your inventory and equip the Heart of Zeus
Hold the Heart of Zeus in your hand (it should be visible)
Click or activate the Heart while standing in the correct location
A portal animation will trigger
You'll be teleported to the Atlantis lobby area

Important: You must be standing in the exact right spot for the Heart of Zeus to work. If nothing happens when you activate it, move around the thunderstruck area until you find the activation point.

Welcome to Atlantis

Congratulations! You've successfully unlocked and entered Atlantis. You'll spawn in the Atlantis lobby where you can begin exploring this massive new area.

What's Inside Atlantis

Now that you've unlocked Atlantis, here's what awaits you in this legendary underwater city:

Atlantis Bestiary: 59 Exclusive Fish

Atlantis features the largest bestiary section in Fisch with 59 unique fish species found nowhere else in the game. These include common fish up to exotic rarities exclusive to Atlantis.

Legendary Rods

Several powerful fishing rods can only be obtained in Atlantis, including rods with unique abilities and superior stats compared to standard equipment.

Special Events

Atlantis is the exclusive location for three major events:

Poseidon's Wrath - Special fishing event with unique catches
Zeus Storm - Lightning-based event with rare fish spawns
Kraken Hunt - Epic event featuring the Kraken boss

Powerful Totems

Atlantis contains totems that provide significant fishing bonuses and buffs not available in other locations.

Five Atlantis Puzzles

After entering Atlantis, you'll discover five puzzles scattered throughout the area. Solving these puzzles unlocks:

Additional fishing pools and areas
Exclusive rods available only through puzzle completion
Totem locations with permanent buffs
Access to the deepest Atlantis chambers

Alternative Method: Join Someone Else's Portal

If you don't want to complete the entire quest yourself, there's a shortcut method:

When someone activates the Heart of Zeus and opens the Atlantis portal, other players can enter through the same portal for a limited time.

Join the official Fisch Discord server
Look for players announcing they're opening Atlantis portals
Join their server before they activate the Heart
Stand near them at the Grand Reef portal location
When they activate the Heart, you'll see the portal open
Quickly walk into the portal before it closes

Note: This method still requires you to pay the 10,000 coins to the Pirate Captain on your first visit, but you skip the lever hunting and TNT steps.

Fast Track Tips

Save 10,000 coins before starting - Don't travel to Grand Reef until you have the bribe money
Use GPS coordinates - Installing the GPS tool makes finding exact locations much easier
Bring a friend - Having a partner helps locate levers faster at Forsaken Shores
Mark lever locations - Take notes on where you find each lever for future reference
Check Discord first - Someone might be opening a portal right now, saving you the quest
Explore systematically - Search Forsaken Shores section by section to avoid missing levers

Common Issues and Solutions

Pirate Won't Start Quest

Solution: Verify you have at least 10,000 coins in your inventory. Talk to the Mysterious Pirate Captain and select the dialogue option about the Old Temple. You must pay the bribe for the quest to start.

Can't Find All Five Levers

Solution: Explore Forsaken Shores thoroughly:

Near merchant building
At the pond waterfall
On the bridge structure
Naval cave entrance
Right side near skin shop

Increase brightness and check behind objects if a lever isn't immediately visible.

TNT Not Appearing

Solution: Confirm you've activated all five levers—the TNT only spawns after all levers are pulled. Check the area behind Jack Marrow NPC thoroughly. If still not appearing, try rejoining the server.

Temple Entrance Won't Break

Solution: Make sure you're placing TNT directly against the rock barrier blocking the temple entrance. You need to be at the correct underwater location at Grand Reef. Try positioning the TNT from different angles.

Heart of Zeus Doesn't Work

Solution: You must stand exactly at the portal location on Grand Reef surface at coordinates -3576, 148, 524. Look for the thunderstruck area or crevice with visual effects. Equip the Heart in your hand and activate it while standing directly on the spot.

Portal Closes Too Fast

Solution: If joining someone else's portal, stand as close as possible to the activation spot before they use the Heart. Walk into the portal immediately when it appears—portals remain open for limited time.

Here's the total investment needed to unlock Atlantis:

Pirate Bribe: 10,000 coins
Boat (if needed): Varies by boat type
Diving Gear (if needed): May be required for underwater sections
Time Investment: 30-60 minutes for first-time completion
