Merlin has returned to Fisch, this time presenting players with the Astraeus Serenade rod quest. Successfully completing this quest will earn you a unique crafting material known as Dusky Thread. This exclusive item cannot be purchased, traded, or sourced from any NPC other than Merlin himself. In this guide, we will explore how to acquire the Dusky Thread in Fisch.
How to Acquire the Dusky Thread in Fisch
The Dusky Thread is obtained by completing part one of the Astraeus Serenade quest, specifically by providing three special fish, all of which are variations of the Radiant Crystal. To initiate this quest, you must converse with Merlin and have finished all of his prior quests. The specific fish you need to gather are:
- Celestial Radiant Crystal
- Serene Radiant Crystal
- Breezed Radiant Crystal
All three variants of the fish are located within the Mineshaft, a new area added following Merlin’s Rework. You can access the Mineshaft by jumping into the sea behind Merlin’s residence, but you will need Merlin’s Veil to enter this location.
Acquiring the Radiant Crystals
To craft the Dusky Thread, collecting three specific mutations of the Radiant Crystals is vital. Here’s detailed guidance on obtaining each type:
- Celestial Radiant Crystal: This mutation can be caught exclusively with the Celestial Rod. You have a guaranteed chance of 100% during the Celestial Bonus weather event.
- Serene Radiant Crystal: You can catch this mutation with the Polaris Serenade Rod, boasting a 20% probability. Alternatively, use the Duskwire Rod for a 2% chance, or 4% after making a perfect catch. Both these rods can be acquired from the Underground Music venue.
- Breezed Radiant Crystal: There’s a 25% probability of obtaining this mutation while using the Wind Elemental Rod, so make sure to get this rod to progress further.
When fishing for these variants, be sure to equip the appropriate Enchantments suited for the rods in use. The Mutated Enchantment is recommended, as it provides a significant 90% boost to mutation chances.
Once you have successfully caught all three fish, return to Merlin. He will then craft the Dusky Thread for you, completing this phase of the quest.
