The latest Fisch update introduces the Gilded Staff, a mysterious new skin tied to Merlin’s quest. Even though it looks special, getting it isn’t as complicated as it sounds. This guide breaks down everything you need to know — from finding the right rift to exchanging shards at Merlin’s Hut. Also check out our Fisch Codes for more rewards!
What Is the Gilded Staff in Fisch?
The Gilded Staff is a cosmetic skin rewarded by Merlin when you bring him the Shard of Nebulus, a purple shard found only inside a purple rift in the Sunstone area. For now, it’s a skin item that can’t be attached to a rod, but it’s still an important collectible for future updates. The process is simple:
- Locate a purple rift.
- Enter the rift and finish the short obby inside.
- Pick up the Shard of Nebulus.
- Bring it to Merlin and exchange it.
How to Find the Purple Rift in Sunstone
Rifts spawn randomly around Sunstone, so you’ll need to patrol the area or wait until the right color appears. Common spawn spots include:
- Right in front of Merlin’s Hut
- Near stairways or elevated platforms in Sunstone
- Open spaces around the central area
Color matters: purple = Shard of Nebulus = Gilded Staff Skin.
If the rift isn’t purple, wait for the next spawn cycle.
Entering the Rift and Collecting the Shard
Once a purple rift shows up, walk into it. Inside, you’ll face a short obby that leads to the shard. Complete the path and grab the Shard of Nebulus at the end. Helpful tips:
- If you own a glider, use it to skip or shorten parts of the obby.
- Make sure the shard is in your hand before exiting the rift.
Exchanging the Shard with Merlin
- After having the Purple Shard.
- Interact with Merlin, choose the option to give him the shard.
- you’ll receive the Gilded Staff Skin as your reward.
Other Rewards from Different Shards
If you plan to finish all shard quests, here’s what each shard gives:
- Shard of Embers (red/orange) → Magic Orb Title
- Shard of Roots (green) → Magic Ball Bobber
- Shard of Tides (blue) → Enchanted Book Lantern
- Shard of Nebulus (purple) → Gilded Staff Skin
Collecting all shards often leads to more clues and future quests in upcoming updates.
Getting the Gilded Staff mainly requires patience in watching for purple rifts around Sunstone. Once you understand the spawn behavior and get used to clearing the obby quickly, securing the Shard of Nebulus becomes much easier. Good luck hunting rifts and enjoy earning your Gilded Staff in Fisch.
