Fisch Archaeologist Bestiary Guide
Step 1: Visit Dr. Phineas
The first step in completing the Archaeologist Bestiary is speaking with Dr. Phineas, the NPC who handles the Archaeology tasks. By talking to him, you’ll gain access to the Bestiary, where you can see the fossils you need to collect.
If everything is working correctly, this screen will display the fossils you need, but as mentioned in the video, sometimes glitches can prevent it from appearing. Don’t worry, though—whether or not it’s showing up in your game, you can still proceed by following the list below.
Step 2: Collect the Fossils
To complete the Archaeologist Bestiary, you will need to collect different fossils from various locations around the game world. Here’s a breakdown of where to find each fossil:

Most of the fossils are obtained by fishing in the locations listed above. These fossils do not require specific bait or fishing times, so all you need to do is fish in the correct locations.

Once you’ve gathered all of the fossils listed above, return to Dr. Phineas to officially complete the Archaeologist Bestiary. You should now be able to claim the rewards associated with completing the collection.
