Prerequisites for the Quest
You cannot attempt to get the Abyssal Specter without meeting these conditions first:
Unlock Atlantis: You must have gained access to the main Atlantis area.
Player Level 170: The rod is locked behind a level requirement. You must be at least Level 170 to purchase it.
A Partner: This is a mandatory two-player puzzle. You cannot complete it alone.
Advanced Diving Gear (Highly Recommended): The entire puzzle is underwater. Advanced Diving Gear is almost essential to navigate the area without constantly surfacing for air.
Finding the Ethereal Abyss
The Abyssal Specter is located in a sub-area of Atlantis called the Ethereal Abyss.
Travel to the main Atlantis zone.
Look for a distinctive, jagged stalactite formation. The entrance to the Ethereal Abyss is through an opening here.
Swim through the entrance to enter the Ethereal Abyss area.
Solving the Two-Player Puzzle
Once inside, you will see a large sealed gate and two separate rooms on the left and right. This is where the cooperation begins.
Step 1: Initiate the Puzzle
Each player must enter a different room. One goes into the left room, the other into the right room.
Once both players are in their respective rooms, the doors will close, and the puzzle will begin.
Step 2: The Left Room’s Role (Symbol Buttons)
The player in the left room will see a panel with three symbol buttons.
Their job is to communicate the sequence of these symbols to the player in the right room.
Step 3: The Right Room’s Role (The Clock)
The player in the right room stands on a large clock on the floor with movable hands.
They must adjust the clock’s hands to match the glowing symbols that correspond to the sequence given by their partner.
Once the hands are aligned correctly, the player in the right room must press a button at the base of the clock.
Step 4: Repeat and Complete
This process of communication and alignment must be successfully repeated three times.
After the third correct sequence, the large main gate will open for both players, granting access to the inner chamber.
Purchasing the Abyssal Specter Rod
Inside the newly opened chamber, you will find the Ethereal Abyss fishing spot and the Mythological Clock.
The Abyssal Specter rod can be purchased from a vendor located on the left side of the Mythological Clock.
The cost is 850,000 C$.
Remember, you must be Level 170 or higher for the “Purchase” option to appear.
FAQ: Abyssal Specter in Fisch
Q1: Can I do the Ethereal Abyss puzzle solo?
A1: No, the puzzle is explicitly designed for two players. The mechanics require one person in the left room and one in the right room simultaneously.
Q2: What happens if we fail the puzzle sequence?
A2: If an incorrect sequence is entered, the puzzle will typically reset after a short time, allowing you to try again. The doors will reopen, and you can reposition to restart.
Q3: Is the Abyssal Specter worth it for its price?
A3: Absolutely. For 850,000 C$, it offers exceptional value for a Stage 6 rod. Its high control, infinite weight capacity, and useful passives make it a solid and long-lasting investment for the mid-to-late game.
Q4: I’m level 170 and have the money, but I can’t buy it. Why?
A4: The most common reason is that you haven’t completed the two-player puzzle to open the gate. You must successfully open the gate before the vendor becomes accessible to you.
