The Nate’s Blade quest in Fisch requires you to collect special items before you can continue your adventure. Two important items you need to know about are the Crimson Centerpiece and the Broken Blade. However, getting them requires visiting different locations and completing separate objectives.
In this guide, we will explain how to get the Crimson Centerpiece in Crimson Cavern, where to fish for it, and which fishing rod setup you can use. We will also show you how to reach The Depths, unlock the maze entrance, and prepare the required enchant relics for the Broken Blade.
If you want to make your progress easier, I recommend preparing the required relics before entering The Depths. This way, you can focus on opening the maze and exploring the area instead of having to leave halfway through.
How to Get Crimson Centerpiece and Broken Blade in Fisch
To obtain the Crimson Centerpiece, you need to travel to Crimson Cavern and fish in the area. This item is associated with the Nate’s Blade quest, so make sure you have the quest active if you are collecting items for its progression.
Step 1: Travel to Crimson Cavern
First, head toward the Desolate Deep area and look for the red buoy in the ocean. Crimson Cavern is an area you can access from this part of the map.
Once you reach Crimson Cavern, enter the area and prepare your fishing rod.
Step 2: Fish for Crimson Centerpiece
After entering Crimson Cavern, start fishing in the water to obtain the Crimson Centerpiece.
If you are tracking the Nate’s quest, Miso’s location can help you identify the relevant area. Explore the cavern and fish there until you obtain the required item.
Step 3: Use a Scavenger Rod Setup
The gameplay recommends using the Scavenger Rod with the Scavenger mutation when trying to obtain the Crimson Centerpiece.
This is the suggested setup for your fishing attempt. However, the video does not provide a confirmed drop rate, so you may need multiple attempts before getting the item.
How to Get Broken Blade in Fisch
Getting the Broken Blade involves a different route. You need to travel to The Depths and unlock the maze entrance associated with the Rod of the Depths area.
The most important part is preparing two special enchant relics before you attempt to open the entrance.
Step 1: Find a Whirlpool
Start by exploring the ocean until you find a whirlpool. Use it to reach Vertigo.
Once you arrive in Vertigo, continue toward the entrance to The Depths.
Step 2: Enter The Depths
Travel into The Depths and make your way toward the area associated with the Rod of the Depths.
Your goal is to find the entrance that leads to the maze. Before you can open it, you must place two enchant relics on their matching pedestals.
Step 3: Get a Hex Enchant Relic and an Abyssal Enchant Relic
You need the following two items:
- Hex Enchant Relic
- Abyssal Enchant Relic
Make sure you have both relics before heading to the maze entrance. The video does not explain their exact acquisition methods, so you may need to obtain them separately before continuing.
Step 4: Place the Relics on the Correct Pedestals
Once you reach the entrance, locate the red and blue pedestals. Place each relic on its matching pedestal.
| Pedestal | Required Relic |
|---|---|
| Red pedestal | Hex Enchant Relic |
| Blue pedestal | Abyssal Enchant Relic |
Be careful not to mix them up. The Hex Enchant Relic belongs on the red pedestal, while the Abyssal Enchant Relic belongs on the blue pedestal.
After both relics are placed correctly, the entrance to the maze should open.
Step 5: Enter the Maze
With the entrance unlocked, proceed through the maze toward the Rod of the Depths area.
The gameplay identifies this route as part of the process for obtaining the Broken Blade. However, it does not show the complete maze route or confirm every step required to collect the item, so follow any additional quest prompts you encounter.
Crimson Centerpiece vs. Broken Blade
Both items are connected to your progression, but their acquisition methods are different.
| Item | Location | Main Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Crimson Centerpiece | Crimson Cavern | Fish in the cavern |
| Broken Blade | The Depths maze area | Unlock the maze using two enchant relics |
The Crimson Centerpiece is obtained through fishing, while the Broken Blade route involves exploration and unlocking the maze entrance.
Tips for Getting Both Items Faster
- Prepare your fishing setup: Bring the recommended Scavenger Rod and Scavenger mutation when farming for the Crimson Centerpiece.
- Track your quest: Keeping the Nate’s quest active can help you identify the relevant locations.
- Collect both relics first: Get the Hex Enchant Relic and Abyssal Enchant Relic before traveling into The Depths.
- Remember the pedestal colors: Hex goes on red, and Abyssal goes on blue.
- Follow the quest prompts: If the maze opens but the Broken Blade does not appear immediately, continue exploring and check your current objective.
