Step-by-Step Nurse May Quest Guide

Step 1: Accessing Sweetheart Shores

Before you can start the Cerebra Rod quest, you need to access the Valentides event area. Here’s exactly how to get there:

Spawn at Moosewood Village – This is your starting point
Head to the southern beach – Look for the large Valentine’s event portal
Enter the portal – This transports you to Sweetheart Shores
Locate Nurse May – She’s in the pink wooden house southwest of your spawn point, behind Sweetheart Sarah and Sweetheart Sam

Pro Tip: The Sweetheart Shores portal is only available during the Valentides event (February 7-21, 2026), so make sure to complete this quest before the event ends!

Step 2: First Quest – Finding All 10 Vials

Once you interact with Nurse May, she’ll give you the “Nurse May’s Remedy: The Cerebra” quest, requiring you to find 10 medical vials scattered across the Fisch world. Each vial contains pink neon fluid and is strategically placed in various locations.

Complete Vial Location Guide

Here are all 10 vial locations with precise coordinates and detailed descriptions:

1. Terrapin Island – Olm Cave

Coordinates: 133, 130, 1969

Expert Strategy: Plan your route efficiently to minimize travel time. I recommend starting with the closest islands (Mushgrove, Snowcap) and working your way to the more distant locations (Ancient Isles, Scoria Reach). Use the in-game GPS device extensively and consider bringing a fast boat for water travel.

Step 3: Second Quest – Valentine Fish Catching

After returning all 10 vials to Nurse May, she’ll give you the second quest requiring you to catch specific Valentine-themed fish from Sweetheart Shores waters.

Required Fish:

2x Kissing Gourami – Common Valentine fish with distinctive kissing appearance
2x Heart Cookie – Heart-shaped fish with cookie-like patterns
1x Heart Sand Dollar – Rare sand dollar variant with heart shape

Fishing Strategy:

Use the Cerebra Rod if you obtained it during testing, or your best available rod
Focus on Sweetheart Shores waters – these fish only spawn here during the event
Fish during peak hours – Valentine fish have higher spawn rates during event peak times
Use appropriate bait – Check the official Fisch Discord for current meta bait recommendations

Pro Tip: The Kissing Gourami and Heart Cookie are relatively common, but the Heart Sand Dollar can be quite rare. Be patient and don’t hesitate to ask other players in the official Discord for current hotspots.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Cerebra Rod permanent or limited-time?

The Cerebra Rod is a limited-time exclusive item only obtainable during the Valentides 2026 event (February 7-21, 2026). However, once you obtain it, you can use it permanently even after the event ends. You just won’t be able to get it again if you miss the event.

What happens if the Valentides event ends before I complete the quest?

Unfortunately, if the event ends before you complete Nurse May’s quests, you’ll lose access to Sweetheart Shores and won’t be able to obtain the Cerebra Rod. The event portal disappears on February 21, 2026, at 17:00 UTC, so plan accordingly.

Can I get multiple Cerebra Rods?

No, the Cerebra Rod is a one-time reward per account. Once you complete Nurse May’s questline, you cannot repeat it for additional rods. This makes it a valuable collector’s item.

Absolutely! The Cerebra Rod offers excellent value with its unique passive abilities, especially the 50% instant bar fill and 10% Heartburst chance. It’s particularly valuable for players who fish frequently or want to maximize their efficiency.

What level do I need to be to start the quest?

There’s no specific level requirement, but you should have:

Access to a boat for traveling between islands
Basic fishing equipment
Knowledge of different island locations
Sufficient time to complete both quest stages

Can I complete the vial collection with friends?

Yes! While the quest is individual, you can team up with friends to locate vials more efficiently. Just remember that each person needs to collect their own set of 10 vials and catch their own fish.

What’s the best time to catch the Valentine fish?

Valentine fish have higher spawn rates during:

Peak event hours (when more players are online)
Specific weather conditions (check Discord for current meta)
Certain times of day (experiment to find your sweet spot)
