The latest update for Fisch has introduced the Cultist Lair, where players can engage with various new quests featuring Cults. One of the first quests you’ll encounter comes from the NPC Maelira, who requires you to catch specific fish from the new fishing pool.

Guide to Completing Maelira’s Quest in Fisch
Upon entering the Cultist Lair in Fisch, you will meet Maelira just beyond the grand gates. He stands beneath a staircase in a striking purple outfit. When you interact with him, he will request that you fish for the following creatures: Tetra, Slickhead, Loach, Dragonfish, and Sinocyclocheilus.

Maelira’s Quest Requirements in Fisch
You can find these fish in the designated pool ahead. All listed fish belong to the Cultist Lair’s aquatic fauna, and with the exception of the rare Dragonfish, they are generally easy to catch. Take note of their specific preferences, which include favorite bait, weather, time of day, and season:
- Abyssal Slickhead: Prefers Minnow bait, best caught during Rain at Night in the Summer
- Cave Loach: Likes Worm bait, most effective in Foggy weather during the Day in Autumn
- Mexican Tetra: Attracted to Insect bait, ideal conditions are Foggy, Daytime in Summer
- Sinocyclocheilus: Prefers Insect bait, thrives in Foggy weather at Daytime during Spring
- Scaly Dragonfish: Caught with Minnow bait, best achieved during Windy nights in Winter





There’s no need for advanced fishing gear to capture these species; a little patience will go a long way. Once you have successfully caught one of each type, return to Maelira for your well-deserved reward, which is the Maelira’s Amulet Fragment.

Now you have all the information required to complete Maelira’s quest by catching five accessible fish in the Cultist Lair. How did your fishing endeavor go? We welcome your experiences in the comments below!
