All You Need to Know About SKYCREST Update In Fisch
This week we've got the SKYCREST Update In Fisch, with a ton of new content and quests, and I'm gonna bring you the full guide for it here. This update is actually a part of the big Fischfest event, and it's a mix of content that's always available and content you can only finish for a limited time — meaning after Fischfest ends, you won't have access to some of the items anymore. Let's go over the full mechanics of the SKYCREST Update In Fisch, so stay with me.

How to start SKYCREST Update In Fisch
To start the SKYCREST Update content, you first need to go to the floating island. To do this, first go to the FISCHFEST area, then head right into the sea. You'll see a big waterfall — swim up through it and you'll reach the main island.
The main mechanic of the SKYCREST Update is based on a system called Idol Favor. Everything you do on this island affects your Idol Favor level, and your focus in this update should be on raising that level. By raising your Idol Favor level, you can unlock the Crest Amulet, which lets you equip nine Charm slots at the same time.
Note: Charm boosts your stats.
Quests of the seven Ancient Idols
Next in this SKYCREST Update guide, I'll go over the special missions given to you by the Ancient Idol. You can find the Ancient Idol scattered around this floating island, and each one has its own missions. These seven statues are named:
- Hayate
- Ebisu
- Fudo
- Nagomi
- Goriki
- Shunsoku
- Amanojaku
What kind of quests do the Ancient Idols give?
Each of these statues gives you 5 special missions, starting from easy tasks up to challenging ones like catching a specific fish under specific weather conditions. Some of these missions are like:
- Go to a specific spot and stand still there for 60 seconds
- Talk to your companion 10 times
- Catch a specific fish under specific weather conditions
- Fly at max speed using the glider
- Catch a specific fish within 20 seconds
By finishing the missions of each Ancient Idol, it gives you a special charm, and you can level it up by catching fish on that same island.
Types of Charm you get from the Ancient Idol

The types of Charm you get from these Ancient Idols each add a certain amount to your stats:
- Luck
- Control
- Resilience
- Max Weight
- Lure Speed
- Progress Speed
How to get high-level charms in SKYCREST Update In Fisch
To get the strongest charms in this update, you need to take part in the rare weather events Tropical Squall and Raging Squall and do their hard challenges, including the very hard Idol challenges — and as a reward you can get the Titanic Charm and Flash Charm.
Keeper of the Sky quest line
There's an NPC in this update called Keeper of the Sky who gives you his own quest line, where you need to find ten Sky Crystals located in different spots like Moosewood, Terrapin Island, Roslit Bay and Snowcap Island, and bring them to him.
| Crystal | Location | Minimum Idol Favor |
|---|---|---|
| Lighthouse Crystal | Top of the lighthouse, Moosewood | No specific requirement |
| Aquatic Crystal | Terrapin Island, in the water | Level 3 |
| Campfire Crystal | Roslit Bay, from an NPC named Ash | Level 5 |
| Sea Crystal | Snowcap Island, from NPC Wilson | Level 8 |
| School Crystal | Forsaken Shores, from Jack Marrow (must pay 500,000 coins) | Level 12 |
| Living Crystal | Jungle, Moss Jar room | Level 15 |
| Mountain Crystal | Castaway Cliffs, shipwreck | Level 20 |
| Prismatic Crystal | Ancient Isles, from a miner (must give an Opal or Lapis Lazuli or Moonstone) | Level 30 |
| Divine Crystal | Northern Expedition, Heavens cave | Level 40 |
| Infernal Crystal | Scoria's Reach, mine | Level 50 |
But while doing this quest line, keep these points in mind:
- By turning in each crystal you can progress this quest.
- By finishing this quest, you can rebuild Abaia's Chamber and wake up the legendary creature named Abaia.
- To be able to turn in each crystal, you need a certain amount of Idol Favor level, so you basically can't finish this quest without overall progress.
Guide to hunting Abaia and the Fire of Spirits mechanic
In SKYCREST Update In Fisch there's a mechanic called Fire of Spirits, where during the Tropical Squall weather event you need to sacrifice the fish you caught into the fire, and this way the flame gets bigger. Once you've sacrificed enough fish, Abaia Hunt gets activated and you can go hunt it.
To hunt Abaia, you need to hook it several times to lower its health bar. Each time you land a hit, Abaia escapes through one of three tunnels to the next room, and you gotta chase it. Keep doing this until you fully catch it. I suggest using Gombak Bent-Winged Firefly bait for hunting Abaia in the SKYCREST Update.
New items and companions in SKYCREST Update In Fisch

In this update we get new items, including 5 new Rods, a new harpoon gun and a new spear, the Crested Relic and Empyrean Relic. There's also a new shop on this floating island called Elder Kaito's Shop, where you can buy new and valuable items.
Ancient Idol Rod
You can get this Rod by completing the Forge Master Torin quest. Hand over all seven Charms and catch five large fish to give to the NPC Forge Master Torin.
Fruity Line Rod
You can get the Fruity Line Rod by doing Frank's quest, which is only available this week. An NPC named Frank asks you to find 25 fruits scattered across the island. In the next step, he wants you to sacrifice 9 different fish in the Fire of Spirits to spawn the Fruity Abaia, which you then need to hunt.
Breeze Caster & Breeze Gusher Rods
You can get one of these Rods, not both. An NPC named Arrow asks you to level up your speed Charm to level 10, then fly with full speed on the cloud glider. After completing his request, you can choose between the two Rods.
Ancestral Rod
The easiest ROD in this update is the Ancestral Rod. Just go to Elder Kaito's shop and buy it.
Squall Abaia Rod
The hardest Rod you can get in the SKYCREST Update In Fisch is the Squall Abaia Rod. For this, you need to get caught in a Tropical Squall (which is pure luck), catch a legendary Ancestral Bio fish that spawns during the Tropical Squall, and get an Imperial Relic by fishing in Skycrest. On top of that, you need 750,000 coins.
New companions
In this update we get a new companion called Idol Taiga. To tame it, you need to give it fireflies during the Tropical Squall event, but before you start taming it, you need to have four different types of fireflies:
- Firefly
- Loopy Five
- Blue Ghost
- Gombak Bent-Winged
With the new Idol Taiga companion, you can get a few new buffs like:
Boosting the effect of Charms Auto-sacrificing low-value fish into the Fire of Spirits Increasing your Idol Favor gain
Frank's quest
In SKYCREST Update In Fisch there's an NPC named Frank who gives you a special quest that's only available for one week, so it's very time-limited. He asks you for a special fruit, and in exchange for helping him you can get a really strong and awesome Rod. I'd suggest doing this quest as fast as you can so you don't miss out on this limited Rod.
Important note about the Wish mechanic
One cool mechanic in SKYCREST Update In Fisch is the Wish mechanic, where you can pick a specific Rod. My tip for you is to use this mechanic to get the prerequisite Rods. So if you need a certain Rod before you can get another one (like the WIND ELEMENT ROD), get that prerequisite Rod first through the Wish mechanic.
Wrapping up SKYCREST Update In Fisch
The sheer size of the SKYCREST Update In Fisch might make anyone confused about where to start. Don't worry, just follow the order I'm giving you:
Go to Skycrest and talk to the Keeper of the Sky.
Complete the first quest from Ebisu.
Raise Idol Favor to level 5 by fishing.
Buy from Elder Kaito's shop.
Complete Master Hiroto's challenge.
Collect all ten Sky Crystals.
Sacrifice fish in the Fire of Spirits to spawn and then hunt Abaia.
Tame the Idol Taiga companion.
Complete the time-limited Frank and Sanctuary quests.
Get the ROD you want from Wish.
Overall, this update has a ton of content, new Rods, new mechanics, and challenging quests, and you're gonna need to spend a lot of time to fully complete SKYCREST Update In Fisch. Just keep in mind that some of this update's content is only available for a limited time, so focus on those first.
