Farming rare items in Fisch can take a lot of time, especially when you are looking for specific Totems, Relics, or other valuable equipment. Fortunately, the Shark Challenges offer another way to collect these items by completing special missions that require you to catch different types of sharks.
These challenges are available through the Megamouth NPC at Shark Sanctuary. You can choose from several missions with different difficulty levels, each offering Shark Tokens and a chance to receive useful rewards. This guide covers how to unlock Shark Challenges, every possible mission, and all the rewards you can obtain.
How to Unlock Shark Challenges in Fisch
Before you can access Shark Challenges, you need to find the Shark Sanctuary and unlock the Megamouth NPC. This location is hidden underwater near The Arch, so you will need to dive down and search for a cave entrance.
You can reach Shark Sanctuary by following these steps:
- Travel to The Arch in Fisch.
- Dive underwater and look for a pile of rubble.
- Search around the edge of the rubble to find a hidden cave entrance.
- Enter the cave to reach Shark Sanctuary.
- Find the Megamouth NPC inside the area.
You can also use a Fisch GPS to navigate directly to these coordinates:
- X: -4038
- Y: -1881
- Z: -849
However, finding the location is not enough to unlock the challenges. The Megamouth NPC only becomes available after you complete the first task from the Hammyshork Rod quest. Make sure you finish this requirement before trying to access the Shark Challenges menu.
Once the NPC is unlocked, interact with Megamouth to view the available missions. You will receive three different challenge options, each with its own difficulty and rewards.
Fisch Shark Challenges Difficulty Levels
Every Shark Challenge has a background color that indicates how difficult the mission will be. This makes it easier to decide which task you want to complete based on your current equipment and fishing progress.
There are four difficulty levels in total:
- Easy (Light Grey): The simplest missions, usually requiring you to catch an Unusual or Mythical shark.
- Medium (Blue): These missions require you to catch a Mythical shark with a specific mutation.
- Hard (Purple): Hard missions introduce more demanding requirements, such as Perfect Catches or Apex sharks.
- Extreme (Red): The most difficult missions, requiring you to catch an Apex shark with a random mutation.
Higher difficulty missions can be more demanding, so check the requirements before accepting one. Some tasks also require sharks with mutations, meaning you should understand how mutations work in Fisch before starting your hunt.
All Fisch Shark Challenge Missions
The Shark Challenges menu contains several types of shark-catching objectives. After opening the menu, select the mission you want and confirm your choice to begin working on it.
You are not required to accept every mission that appears. If the available tasks are too difficult or do not offer rewards you want, you can reroll them using C$. The first reroll costs 10,000 C$, and the price doubles with every additional reroll.
Here is the complete list of possible Shark Challenges:
Easy Missions
- Catch and return 1 Unusual shark with a random mutation.
- Catch and return 1 Mythical shark.
Medium Missions
- Catch 1 Mythical shark with a random mutation.
Hard Missions
- Perfect Catch 1 Mythical shark.
- Catch 1 Apex shark.
Extreme Missions
- Catch and return 1 Apex shark with a random mutation.
Pay close attention to the wording of each mission. Some challenges require you to catch and return a shark, while others only ask you to catch one. There are also tasks that specifically require a Perfect Catch, so make sure you meet the stated condition before expecting the mission to count as completed.
All Fisch Shark Challenges Rewards
Completing Shark Challenges gives you Shark Tokens along with another reward. The additional item can vary depending on the mission, giving you a chance to obtain useful equipment, fishing supplies, Totems, and rare Relics.
Here is the full list of rewards available from Fisch Shark Challenges:
- Bait Bucket
- Ancient Shark Whistle
- Shark Whistle
- Bloop Whistle
- Enchant Relic
- Exalted Relic
- Cosmic Relic
- Fish Barrel
- Quality Bait Crate
- Carbon Crate
- Companion Candy
- Aurora Totem
- Rainbow Totem
- Stormbringer Totem
- Empowered Disturbance Catalyst
Shark Tokens are guaranteed as part of the challenge rewards, while the second reward can be one of the items listed above. This makes the system useful for players who want to collect different resources without relying entirely on regular fishing or other farming methods.
Some rewards are particularly valuable depending on your current goals. For example, Enchant Relics, Exalted Relics, and Cosmic Relics are useful for players working on their equipment, while Aurora, Rainbow, and Stormbringer Totems provide additional options for changing fishing conditions.
Companion Candy is another useful reward because it gives 1,500 Companion XP when used. Meanwhile, items such as the Bloop Whistle, Shark Whistle, and Ancient Shark Whistle offer additional rewards worth keeping an eye out for.
Is Rerolling Shark Challenges Worth It?
Rerolling can be useful when the Megamouth NPC offers missions that are too difficult or do not match the rewards you want. For example, you might prefer an Easy or Medium challenge if you do not have the equipment needed to catch Apex sharks consistently.
However, rerolling becomes increasingly expensive. The first attempt costs 10,000 C$, and the price doubles each time you reroll again. Repeatedly changing missions can quickly consume your money, so it is better to check all three available options before spending C$.
Try completing a suitable mission first instead of rerolling immediately. This gives you an opportunity to earn rewards while saving money for future challenges.
Fisch Shark Challenges provide another useful farming method for players looking to collect Totems, Relics, Companion Candy, and other valuable items. By visiting Shark Sanctuary and unlocking the Megamouth NPC through the Hammyshork Rod quest, you can access different shark-catching missions with four difficulty levels.
Make sure to check the mission requirements before accepting a challenge, especially when it involves mutations, Apex sharks, or Perfect Catches. If the available tasks are not suitable, you can reroll them for C$, but remember that the cost doubles with every attempt.
