The new Shady Bazaar update in Fisch adds a hidden underground marketplace beneath Moosewood along with a full investigation-style questline. Instead of instantly entering the new area, players need to uncover clues, speak with strange residents, and search for mysterious figures that only appear during the night.
The entire update has a much darker and more secretive atmosphere compared to normal updates. Moosewood is now filled with rumors about hidden tunnels, strange footsteps, and suspicious activity happening after dark.
Fisch Shady Bazaar Update – Codes, Unlock Shady Bazaar
The Shady Bazaar is a secret underground marketplace hidden beneath Moosewood. Players cannot access it immediately because the entrance is locked behind a hidden investigation quest.
The Bazaar itself contains:
- Underground merchants
- Exclusive currency
- Rotating inventories
- Rare items
- Special interactions
- Black market content
The update also hints at hidden paths and secret underground tunnels connected to the lighthouse area.
Currency
A brand-new currency has been added specifically for the Shady Bazaar.
This currency can only be used inside the Bazaar and is earned through:
- Unique interactions
- Tasks
- Special activities
- Investigation quests
The update focuses heavily on progression and exploration, so players will likely need to complete multiple hidden objectives before earning large amounts of currency.
Merchants
Several suspicious merchants now operate inside the Bazaar. Each one appears to specialize in different types of items.
Known merchants include:
- Companion Dealer
- Rare Goods Dealer
- Bait Dealer
- Rod Dealer
One of the most interesting parts of the update is the rotating inventory system. Certain items may only appear temporarily, meaning some rewards could become limited or difficult to obtain later.
Some merchants may also reward players for showing off:
- Rare rods
- Companions
- Titles
- Unique collectibles
This gives older progression items more value inside the Bazaar system.
Black Market
The Black Market has now been fully moved into the Shady Bazaar.
This rework changes how the shopkeeper behaves:
- The shopkeeper now sleeps during weekdays
- The Black Market returns during weekends
- Limited-time stock has been reintroduced
This means players may need to check the Bazaar regularly because some items could disappear after rotations change.
Codes
New codes added with the update include:
SHADYSHADYBAZAAR
At launch, one of the codes appeared to have issues, but SHADY was confirmed to work for rewards.
Unlocking
Unlocking the Shady Bazaar starts in Moosewood.
The first thing players should do is activate a Sundial Totem before beginning the investigation. After that, head toward the lighthouse area where the main questline begins.
Near the lighthouse, there is a mysterious figure standing beside a locked bunker door. This bunker entrance leads toward the hidden underground Bazaar, but players cannot open it immediately.
To unlock the bunker, players must investigate Moosewood and find several hidden figures connected to the mystery.
Residents
The investigation begins by speaking to restless residents around Moosewood.
Most NPCs do not provide useful information, but certain ghost-like figures give clues connected to the underground tunnels and hidden marketplace.
One resident talks about:
- Strange footsteps
- Muffled noises
- Activity near the lighthouse cliffs
- Old tunnels beneath Moosewood
- Figures appearing at night and disappearing suddenly
These clues confirm that the Bazaar is connected to hidden underground areas beneath the island.
Lantern
One of the hidden figures gives players a special item called the Tarnished Lantern.
After receiving it, the figure warns players:
“Remember the words, you’ll need them.”
The lantern is added into the inventory and appears to be an important quest item connected to later stages of the investigation.
The Lantern Figure is one of the first important NPCs players need to find.
Diver
After progressing further into the investigation, players receive a new objective involving two hidden figures:
- Diver
- Watchman
These characters appear somewhere around Moosewood during nighttime.
The update suggests that these NPCs may not always spawn in the same locations, making the investigation feel more dynamic and mysterious.
Watchman
The Watchman is another important figure connected to the Bazaar unlock process.
Players need to continue searching around Moosewood, especially near cliffs and lighthouse areas, until they eventually locate the Watchman and continue the investigation.
The full unlock process appears to involve collecting clues from all hidden figures before the bunker finally opens.
Mystery
The Shady Bazaar update feels very different from a normal content expansion because the focus is placed on exploration and hidden secrets instead of direct progression.
The combination of:
- Ghost-like NPCs
- Underground tunnels
- Secret merchants
- Hidden objectives
- Rotating inventories
- Nighttime investigations
- Black market changes
makes the entire update feel much more immersive.
Instead of immediately giving players access to everything, the game slowly pushes players deeper into Moosewood’s mystery until they eventually uncover the hidden underground marketplace beneath the island.
