The air hung thick with anticipation as I approached the shimmering obelisk, its surface alive with arcane energy. A whispered rumor rippled through the docks: solve the puzzle, open the castle. But failure? That meant being trapped in the Fisch Tidefall, forever searching for a path that doesn’t exist. This guide shows you how to complete the Obelisk puzzle and gain access to the secrets within Tidefall Castle.
Cracking the Code: The Fisch Obelisk Puzzle
Yesterday, I watched a seasoned player rage quit after hours of fruitless attempts. Each Obelisk demands a specific fish offering, a tribute from the depths of Fisch Tidefall. Turn in the correct catch, and the Obelisk will be solved. Here’s a breakdown to guide your quest:
| Obelisk | Location | Fish Required |
|---|---|---|
| Gold | Collapsed Ruins | Goldwraith (exotic from Crowned Ruins) |
| Purple | Tidefall (opposite the shop) | Omnithal (exotic from Sunken Reliquary) |
| Red/Orange | Tidefall (behind the shop) | Pliosaur (exotic from Collapsed Ruins) |
| Sky Blue | Tidefall (opposite of waterfall/beside bridge) | Reef Titan (exotic from Coral Bastion) |
| White | Left of Tidefall waterfall | Sparkling Dripstone (trash from Tidefall bestiary) |
Beyond the Obelisks: Gaining Entry to Tidefall Castle
I remember the first time I saw Tidefall Castle. It looked like something out of a fairy tale, with its imposing stone walls. The area past the solved puzzle reveals a path. Glide across the water to discover the entrance to Tidefall Castle. Solving the Obelisk puzzle removes the gate blocking your entry. Inside lies opportunity, and the Plesiosaur awaits.
Is the Plesiosaur Always Available in Tidefall Castle?
Not quite. While accessing the castle requires solving the Obelisk puzzle, the Plesiosaur’s appearance is tied to hunt events. Even with the gate open, you’ll need to trigger the Plesiosaur hunt. So spam that totem, because this creature is super rare.
The Plesiosaur is a key ingredient in crafting the Requiem rod. It’s the fishing rod equivalent of a master smith’s finest blade. So, collect those exotics and unlock the secrets held within Fisch Tidefall.
What’s the Easiest Way to Farm Exotic Fish?
There’s no ‘easy’ button, but targeted hunts are the way to go. Each exotic is tied to a specific zone (Crowned Ruins for Goldwraith, etc.). Focus your efforts on those zones during hunt events to increase your chances. Think of it as investing in a good stock; research pays off.
That’s how you solve the Obelisk puzzle and breach the walls of Tidefall Castle. It’s an arduous task, but it is satisfying. Are you ready to brave the depths and claim your prize?
