The Secret Astraeus Serenade Quest in Roblox Fisch is a hidden end-game objective that rewards dedicated anglers with powerful tools. Quest 1 is the crucial first step, requiring players to collect three specific mutated Radiant Crystals. This guide provides a complete, step-by-step walkthrough to unlock and finish this elusive quest.
What is the Secret Astraeus Serenade Quest?
This is a hidden quest chain in Roblox Fisch, accessible after the Merlin Part 2 update. The first quest was mistakenly thought to be bugged for a long time because the required hand-in dialogue with the NPC Merlin does not appear under normal circumstances. The quest only triggers when all specific items are simultaneously present in your inventory, unlocking a secret dialogue option.
Prerequisites & How to Start
Before you can hunt for the special crystals, you need to access the correct fishing area.
Unlocking the Mineshaft
Talk to Merlin: Locate the NPC Merlin in the game world.
Enter the Chasm: In his dialogue menu, select the option to enter the Chasm. This will grant you a temporary buff called Merlin’s Veil, which is essential.
Find the Entrance: The entrance to the Mineshaft is located behind Merlin’s house. With the buff active, enter this new area.
Locate the Fishing Spot: Inside the Mineshaft, find the water pool. This is where you will fish for the base Radiant Crystals needed for the mutations. No special bait is required here.
Radiant Crystal Mutations Guide for Quest 1
You need to collect three mutated versions of the Radiant Crystal: Breezed, Serene, and Celestial. These mutations are NOT obtained through appraising normal crystals. They must be caught directly using specific fishing rods. All fishing must be done at the pool in the Mineshaft.
1. Breezed Radiant Crystal
How to Get: You must catch it using the Wind Elemental Rod.
How to Get the Rod: The Wind Elemental Rod is unlocked by completing quests in the Northern Expedition area.
Mutation Chance: Using the correct rod provides a chance for the catch to be mutated.
2. Serene Radiant Crystal
How to Get: This is the most challenging crystal for most players due to rod requirements.
Polaris Serenade Rod (Legacy): This rod had a 20% chance to catch the Serene mutation. It is now unavailable.
Duskwire Rod: The current obtainable rod that can catch this mutation, but with a low chance of only 2% to 4%.
Note: Players without the legacy Polaris Serenade will face a significantly harder grind using the Duskwire Rod.
3. Celestial Radiant Crystal
How to Get: The primary method is using the Celestial Rod, which has a 100% mutation chance for this crystal.
How to Get the Celestial Rod: This rod is crafted by solving the cooperative Ancient Isles puzzle. This puzzle typically requires around three players to complete.
Alternative Method: During the rare Heavenly Sparkling Event, there is a small 5% chance to catch a Celestial Radiant Crystal with any rod.
Completing Quest 1 and Crafting Dusky Thread
This is the critical secret to the quest:
Gather All Three Crystals: Ensure the Breezed Radiant Crystal, Serene Radiant Crystal, and Celestial Radiant Crystal are all in your main inventory at the same time.
Return to Merlin: With all three crystals in your bag, speak to Merlin again.
Trigger Secret Dialogue: A new, previously hidden dialogue option will appear. Select it.
Craft Dusky Thread: This dialogue will allow you to craft the Dusky Thread.
Congratulations! Crafting the Dusky Thread marks the completion of Secret Astraeus Serenade Quest 1. This item is the first material needed to eventually craft the powerful Astraeus Serenade fishing rod, setting you on the path to the next quests in the chain.
FAQ: Astraeus Serenade Quest 1
Q: Why can’t I see the quest in my log or the hand-in option with Merlin?
A: This is a hidden quest. The option to hand in the items only appears when you have all three specific mutated Radiant Crystals (Breezed, Serene, Celestial) in your inventory simultaneously.
Q: Can I get the mutations by appraising normal Radiant Crystals?
A: No. The Breezed, Serene, and Celestial mutations cannot be obtained through appraisal. They must be caught directly from the Mineshaft pool using the correct rods.
Q: What if I don’t have the Polaris Serenade or Duskwire Rod for the Serene Crystal?
A: You must obtain the Duskwire Rod. There is no other known method to acquire the Serene Radiant Crystal without one of these two specific rods.
Q: Do I need a specific fishing level or bait in the Mineshaft?
A: You need the temporary Merlin’s Veil buff to enter. No special bait is needed to fish for the base Radiant Crystals in the pool, but you must use the specific rods mentioned to get the mutations.
Q: Is the Celestial Rod absolutely necessary?
A: It is highly recommended, as it guarantees (100% chance) the Celestial mutation. The only alternative is a 5% chance during a rare event, which is unreliable.
Conclusion
Completing the first Secret Astraeus Serenade Quest in Fisch is a test of preparation, patience, and resource gathering. The key steps are: unlocking the Mineshaft via Merlin, diligently fishing for the three mutated Radiant Crystals using their specific rods (Wind Elemental, Duskwire/Polaris Serenade, and Celestial), and finally triggering the secret craft by having all crystals in your inventory. Successfully crafting the Dusky Thread is a significant achievement, unlocking the path toward one of Fisch’s most coveted end-game items.
