Sunstone Island introduces a unique and challenging activity: Fisch Rifts. These mysterious portals offer a platforming challenge (often called an “obby”) that rewards you with special Shards. This guide will break down everything you need to know, from spawn times and Rift types to a strategy for completing the obby and claiming all the exclusive rewards.
What Are Fisch Rifts?
Fisch Rifts are colorful portals that randomly spawn across Sunstone Island. They contain a platforming obstacle course. Your goal is to enter the Rift, navigate the course, and touch the Shard at the end to collect it.
Spawn Time: Fisch Rifts appear approximately every 3 to 5 minutes on the island.
How to Start: Simply walk into a Rift portal when you find one to begin the challenge.
All Fisch Rift Types & Shards
There are four different types of Fisch Rifts, each distinguished by its color and the corresponding Shard it rewards.
| Rift Color | Shard Reward |
|---|---|
| Red Rift | Shard of Embers |
| Green Rift | Shard of Roots |
| Pink Rift | Shard of Nebulas |
| Blue Rift | Shard of Tides |
Important Note: The type of Shard does not matter for rewards. The NPC Merlin only cares about the total number of Shards you have collected. A Red Shard counts the same as a Blue Shard toward your total.
How to Complete the Fisch Rift Obby
The obstacle course inside a Fisch Rift is a test of precision and patience. Here’s what you need to know:
Enter the Rift: Approach and enter the glowing portal.
Navigate the Course: You will be presented with a series of floating platforms and obstacles. Carefully jump your way through the course.
Claim the Shard: At the end of the course, you will find the Shard floating. Touch it to add it to your inventory.
Consequence of Failure: If you fall or fail the obby, the Rift will immediately disappear, and a random amount of your in-game coins will be deducted as a penalty.
All Fisch Rift Rewards from Merlin
Once you have collected your Shards, you must take them to the NPC Merlin on Sunstone Island to exchange them for permanent rewards. The rewards are tiered based on the total number of Shards you have collected (from any Rift type).
| Total Shards Collected | Reward |
|---|---|
| 1 Shard | Crystal Ball Emoji Title |
| 2 Shards | Magic Ball Bobber |
| 3 Shards | Enchanted Book Lantern |
| 4 Shards | Gilded Staff Rod Skin |
There are no other uses for the Shards beyond this reward track.
Key Strategy & Tips
Focus on Quantity, Not Type: Don’t waste time searching for a specific Rift color. Any Rift will give you a Shard that counts toward your total.
Four Shards is the Goal: You only need to successfully complete the obby four times to collect every available reward.
Practice Makes Perfect: The obby can be difficult. Take your time with each jump and learn from any mistakes. The penalty for failure is only coins, so you can try as many times as new Rifts spawn.
