Contents
Prerequisites for reaching Marcus:
- At least Pufferfish Tube (recommended: Boat Tube)
- Sufficient Oxygen Tanks (bring multiple Oxygen Pods)
- Basic fishing gear (Crossbow Gun minimum)
Pro Tip: The journey to Ancient Sands can be dangerous. Stock up on Oxygen Pods and consider bringing a friend for protection against aggressive fish like Sharks and Scorpionfish.
Essential Equipment Before Starting
Before beginning Marcus’s quests, ensure you have:
Recommended Fishing Setup
- Tube: Boat Tube (minimum) – provides good speed and oxygen capacity
- Weapon: Crossbow Gun (Quests 1-4), upgrade to Wasted Gun (Quests 5-6)
- Essential Tool: Radar from Richard in Forgotten Dome – crucial for identifying fish mutations
Oxygen Management
- Small Oxygen Pod: Basic oxygen refill
- Basic Oxygen Pod: Better capacity for longer dives
- Advanced/Premium Oxygen Pod: Maximum capacity for endgame quests

Complete Quest Walkthrough
Quest 1: Introduction to Ancient Sands
Requirements:
- Catch 6 Pompano Fish
- Find 1 Sand-Mutated Fish
Strategy: Pompano are abundant in the shallow waters of Ancient Sands. Use your Radar to identify Sand-Mutated Fish – they have a distinctive sandy appearance and glow slightly. Stick to the coastline where Pompano spawn frequently.
Common Mistakes: Don’t venture too deep without sufficient oxygen. Stay near the surface until you complete this quest.
Quest 2: Expanding Your Collection
Requirements:
- Catch 6 Cod Fish
- Find 2 Sand-Mutated Fish
- Bring 1 Fish Bone
Strategy: Cod spawn in mid-depth waters. Fish Bones are obtained by opening treasure chests that appear randomly during fishing mini-games. Focus on areas where you see other players fishing – chest spawn rates are higher there.
Pro Tip: Save Fish Bones for later quests when possible, but Quest 2 requires one to progress.
Quest 3: The Cactus Mutation Challenge
Requirements:
- Catch 3 Blackfin Tuna
- Catch 4 Cod Fish
- Catch 5 Pompano Fish
- Find 1 Cactus-Mutated Fish
Strategy: This quest introduces Cactus-Mutated Fish, which are rarer than Sand-Mutated variants. Blackfin Tuna require more power to catch – ensure your Crossbow Gun is fully upgraded. Cactus-Mutated Fish typically spawn near cactus formations in the deeper parts of Ancient Sands.
Advanced Technique: Use the Radar to mark Cactus-Mutated Fish locations, then create a fishing route that maximizes your efficiency between different fish types.
Quest 4: The Treasure Hunter
Requirements:
- Catch 6 Blackfin Tuna
- Catch 6 Pompano Fish
- Find 3 Sand-Mutated Fish
- Bring 2 Fish Bones
- Crack 3 Cactus Geodes
- Find 10 Tier 1 Treasure Chests
Strategy: This is the most complex quest so far. Cactus Geodes are special items found while fishing – they appear as glowing rocks on your radar. Tier 1 Treasure Chests are scattered throughout Ancient Sands, often near rock formations or underwater caves.
Efficiency Strategy: Create a circular route covering the entire Ancient Sands area. Start with treasure hunting, then fish for required species, and finish with geode collection.
Quest 5: Fossil Discovery
Requirements:
- Catch 4 Grouper Fish
- Catch 5 Blackfin Tuna
- Catch 6 Cod Fish
- Find 2 Fossil-Mutated Fish
- Find 2 Tier 2 Treasure Chests
Strategy: Grouper spawn in deeper waters where Scorpionfish and Sharks appear. This is where the Wasted Gun becomes essential – it has the power needed for Grouper. Fossil-Mutated Fish are extremely rare and typically spawn in the deepest parts of Ancient Sands.
Safety Warning: Bring multiple Oxygen Pods for this quest. The deep waters where Grouper spawn are dangerous and far from the surface.
Quest 6: The Ultimate Challenge
Requirements:
- Catch 4 Scorpionfish
- Catch 5 Grouper Fish
- Catch 6 Blackfin Tuna
- Find 3 Cactus-Mutated Fish
- Find 2 Fossil-Mutated Fish
- Bring 6 Fish Bones
- Crack 5 Cactus Geodes
Strategy: This is the final and most challenging quest. Scorpionfish are aggressive and require the Wasted Gun to catch efficiently. The requirements are extensive, so plan for multiple sessions.
Master Strategy:
- Start with Scorpionfish hunting (most dangerous)
- Move to Grouper fishing
- Collect Blackfin Tuna while searching for mutated fish
- Finish with Fish Bones and Cactus Geodes
