The latest Alien update in Steal an Egg adds a secret gate that players can unlock by collecting seven special relics. These items are hidden in the alien fishing areas, so getting all of them requires patience and plenty of fishing. Once you have collected the required relics, you can return to the secret gate and place them to unlock it.
This guide explains how to reach the fishing location, collect the seven relics, and make the process faster. There are also some extra rewards worth knowing about, including special eggs that can be obtained through fishing.
How to Unlock the Secret Fishing Location
Before searching for relics, you need to reach the Alien Planet and access its fishing area. The Alien Ferryman NPC plays an important role here because he can take players to the hidden Lagoon. However, you need to catch at least 20 fish in the alien waters before the travel option becomes available.
Follow these steps to reach the location:
- Travel to the Alien Planet through the Alien Spaceship event.
- Find the fishing ponds in the alien area.
- Equip your fishing rod and start catching fish.
- Hold the cast button to throw your line into the water.
- Catch at least 20 fish to meet the requirement.
- Find and talk to the Alien Ferryman NPC.
- Choose the option to travel to the Lagoon.
After reaching the Lagoon, you can start fishing in its ponds. This is also the location where players have been searching for the seven relics needed to open the secret gate.
How to Get All 7 Relics in Steal an Egg
The secret gate requires seven relics before it can be opened. You can find the gate in the Alien area, where seven empty slots show the items you need to collect. The instructions on the gate explain that the relics must be obtained by fishing in alien waters.
There is no guaranteed order for collecting them. You may catch the same relic more than once, so getting all seven different ones can take some time. Keep fishing until you have collected every required type.
Here is the basic process:
- Go to the Lagoon through the Alien Ferryman.
- Find one of the fishing ponds.
- Equip your fishing rod and cast your line.
- Keep catching fish and checking your rewards.
- Look out for relic drops while fishing.
- Repeat the process until you have all seven relics.
- Return to the secret gate and place each relic in its matching slot.
The relics shown in the video include Yellow and Red Relics, while other players were also seen collecting different colored variants. Since duplicate relics can drop, do not assume that every successful relic catch will give you a new one.
Best Way to Collect Relics Faster
The main requirement for collecting relics is repeated fishing. There is no special button or separate quest that instantly gives you the missing items. Instead, spend time fishing in the Lagoon and check your inventory regularly to see which relics you still need.
Using a better fishing rod may also help improve your farming experience. Some rods provide additional bonuses, including better fishing performance and extra Void Pearl rewards. These bonuses can make the process more rewarding while you continue searching for relics.
A few tips to make the grind easier:
- Stay in the Lagoon: Use the hidden fishing area instead of constantly moving between different locations.
- Fish continuously: Relics are obtained through fishing, so repeated attempts are necessary.
- Check for duplicates: You can receive the same relic multiple times, so keep track of the different ones you already own.
- Upgrade your fishing rod: Better equipment can provide useful bonuses while farming.
- Prepare before nighttime: Try to reach the fishing pond before night begins so you do not waste time waiting to return to the location.
You should also check the fishing milestones while farming. These milestones provide rewards for reaching certain fishing totals, including Void Pearls and other items.
Fishing Rewards and Secret Eggs
Collecting relics is not the only reason to spend time fishing in the Alien update. The Lagoon also offers opportunities to obtain other valuable rewards, including special eggs. According to the gameplay shown, players can get certain eggs directly through fishing rather than relying only on regular egg spawns.
One example is the Alien-themed Diamond Egg. This makes fishing more useful because you can work toward unlocking the secret gate while also trying to obtain valuable pets.
Some of the eggs shown in the video have extremely high income values. One example reaches around 270 billion per second, although the exact value can depend on the egg and its variant. These rewards make the Alien fishing area worth visiting even after you have made progress with the relic quest.
Cosmic Eclipse Event and Nebulous Kraken
The Alien update also features the Cosmic Eclipse event, which gives players another reason to visit the Lagoon. During this event, a special Nebulous Kraken can appear as a fishing reward.
The video shows a Diamond Nebulous Kraken with an income value of around 17 billion per second. The event also has a limited stock of 750 pets, meaning players have a limited opportunity to obtain one during each event cycle.
To prepare for Cosmic Eclipse, make sure you have reached the Lagoon and have your fishing rod ready. The event is tied to the alien fishing location, so staying near the pond can help you avoid wasting time traveling when it begins.
Is It Possible to Get the Same Relic Twice?
Yes. You can receive duplicate relics while fishing in the alien waters. For example, catching a Yellow Relic does not mean your next relic drop will automatically be Red or another missing type.
This is one of the reasons collecting all seven can take a while. The best approach is to keep fishing and check your relic collection after every successful drop. If you receive a duplicate, simply continue until you find one of the relics you have not collected yet.
Do not waste time trying to force a specific relic through a particular fishing pond unless the game provides clear information that the pond has a different drop pool. The available gameplay shows players obtaining relics through repeated fishing in the Lagoon.
How to Unlock the Secret Gate
Once you have collected all seven relics, return to the secret gate in the Alien area. You will find seven slots that correspond to the relics required for opening it.
Interact with the gate and place your collected relics into the available slots. Continue until all seven positions have been filled. The gate requires the complete set, so collecting only a few relics will not be enough to unlock it.
Make sure you have checked your inventory before returning. Since duplicate relics are possible, you should confirm that you actually have seven different required relics rather than seven copies of the same item.
Unlocking the secret gate in Steal an Egg requires players to collect seven relics by fishing in the Alien waters. First, catch 20 fish to unlock the Lagoon travel option from the Alien Ferryman. After reaching the hidden fishing area, keep fishing until you have obtained every required relic.
The process can take some time because duplicate drops are possible, but you can earn other rewards along the way. Special eggs, Void Pearls, fishing milestone rewards, and the Cosmic Eclipse event all make the Lagoon a useful location to visit during the Alien update.
