Where to find the Ancient Archives in Fisch
For starters, you need to know where the Ancient Archives are to unlock them. You can find the Ancient Archives behind thewaterfallon the isles.
The easiest way to reach the entrance isfrom above. Use the ziplines along the island to climb up, then jump down onto theledge leading right into the cave.You will have to make thejump, but it isn’t a big one, so you should be good.
Once you are behind the waterfall, climb downthe ropeinto a pit, and you will find yourself at the entrance to the Ancient Archives. Now that you know where they are, let’s figure out how to get inside.
All Ancient Archive Fragment locations in Fisch
To unlock Ancient Archives, you have to collectfour different Ancient Archive Fragments. One you need to fish, while the other three need to be collected somewhere on the Isles.
As a precaution, if you don’t see the collect or interact button pop up for you when you get close to a Fragment, that means it’s bugged out, and you should switch servers. From experience, you don’t want to waste an Eclipse Totem (which isn’t cheap) when you aren’t going to be able to grab it.
Deep Sea Fragment Location in Fisch
This fragment is located rightunderneath the waterfall. Make sure to put on yourDiving Equipment(preferably advanced if you have it) and go under the water, where you will find theDeep Sea Fragment.
Also, don’t be like me and unequip your gear. Do not notice despite the big letters on your screen telling you what you have done, and then die.
Ancient Fragment Location in Fisch
to get the Ancient Fragment, all you need to do is fish, but it isn’t just that simple. To get the Fragment, you should fish in theoceanand haveMaggotequipped as your bait to increase your chances.
Solar Fragment Location in Fisch
To get the Solar Fragment in Fisch, you need toclimb up. From the Merchant, head to the left and keep climbing until you find yourself on thetallest hill with a single tree. Underneath it, you will see the Solar Fragment, but you can’t pick it up just yet.
This fragment can only be picked up during the Solar Eclipse. This can happen naturally, but it might take a while. Instead, you’re able to purchase theEclipse Totem, which you will find in the cave right next to theEarth Fragment.
Once you have the Totem, climb back up and activate it if it’sdaytime. As soon as you do, run towards theArchivesso that you’re able to unlock them and possibly not have to use two Eclipse Totems (we had to use three, so sad).
Earth Fragment Location in Fisch
After you climb up to the Solar Fragment, head down the tree to the left towards thecliff edge. Keep going, but steer towards the right. Try to stay above and look down until you see awooden fence. That is where you need to jump down.
You will see acavehere, which you should go into, and you’ll get the Earth Fragment along with two more items: the Phoenix Rod and the Eclipse Totem. If you have the money, purchase two Eclipse Totems (250.000 C$ each), one for opening the Archives and one to make your life easier so that you can grab the Solar Totem.
