The Telescope in Fisch allows players to activate different Astral Anomalies by equipping special lenses. Each anomaly provides unique fishing bonuses, such as increased Luck, additional XP, heavier catches, and better chances of obtaining rare mutations. However, unlocking all these effects requires collecting several materials and completing specific quests.
There are five Telescope Lenses available in Fisch. Four can be crafted through Astronomer Vega, while the Stellar Lens requires you to finish Brayden’s questline. This guide explains how to obtain every lens, including their crafting materials, locations, and bonuses.
All Telescope Lenses in Fisch
You can find Astronomer Vega near the laboratory, standing beside the large Telescope. He is the NPC responsible for crafting most of the available lenses, so you will need to visit him whenever you want to create a new one. Use your Fisch GPS to reach these coordinates:
- X: -1878
- Y: 225
- Z: -414
After reaching Astronomer Vega, interact with him to access the lens crafting options. There are four lenses you can craft:
- Deep Lens
- Seasonal Lens
- Experimental Lens
- Moonlit Lens
The fifth option is the Stellar Lens. Unlike the other four, you cannot craft it directly through Astronomer Vega. Instead, you must complete a special quest given by Brayden in Boreal Pines.
How to Get Deep Lens in Fisch
The Deep Lens is one of the craftable Telescope Lenses. To create it, you need three different materials, including Hardened Glass, Abyssal Comb Jelly, and Abyssal Resin. Most of these items require you to visit specific locations and use the right fishing equipment.
Here are all the materials required to craft the Deep Lens:
1. Hardened Glass
- Rarity: Exotic
- Location: Abyssal Zenith Astral Cavern
- How to obtain: Use Magnet Bait.
2. Abyssal Comb Jelly
- Rarity: Mythical
- Location: Abyssal Zenith Astral Cavern
- Recommended Rods: Rod of the Depths or Abyssal Specter Rod.
3. Abyssal Resin
- Rarity: Secret
- Location: Mushgrove Swamp
- Recommended Rods: Rod of the Depths or Abyssal Specter Rod.
You need one of each material to craft the Deep Lens. Once you have collected everything, return to Astronomer Vega and use the crafting option to create it.
When equipped in the Telescope, the Deep Lens activates Abyssal Alignment. This anomaly provides a +25% Catch Weight bonus, making it a useful choice if you are trying to catch heavier fish.
How to Get Seasonal Lens in Fisch
The Seasonal Lens is another craftable option that focuses on increasing the XP you earn while fishing. To make it, you need Seasonal Glass, a Seasonal Mutated Sturgeon, and a Rotting Glass Diamond.
The Seasonal Mutated Sturgeon requirement can be completed using one of four different fish. Each variant has its own preferred bait, weather, season, and time conditions.
Here are the four fish you can use:
1. Floraseer Sturgeon
- Bait: Phantom Leech
- Weather: Clear
- Season: Spring
- Time: Night
2. Glaciaseer Sturgeon
- Bait: Golden Shrimp Bait
- Weather: Rain
- Season: Winter
- Time: Night
3. Solarseer Sturgeon
- Bait: Super Flakes
- Weather: Clear
- Season: Summer
- Time: Night
4. Umbraleaf Sturgeon
- Bait: Night Shrimp
- Weather: Clear or Rain
- Season: Autumn
- Time: Night
You only need one of these four Seasonal Mutated Sturgeon variants for the crafting requirement. Make sure you use the correct bait and wait for the required weather and season before fishing.
After collecting Seasonal Glass, your chosen sturgeon, and a Rotting Glass Diamond, return to Astronomer Vega to craft the lens.
The Seasonal Lens activates Evershifting Eclipse, which provides a +25% XP bonus. This makes it a useful option for players who want to gain levels faster while fishing.
How to Get Experimental Lens in Fisch
The Experimental Lens is designed for players who want to improve their meteor farming rewards. Its crafting materials can be found in Cryogenic Canal Astral Cavern and Mushgrove Swamp, so you will need to travel between these locations before returning to Astronomer Vega.
Here are the required materials:
1. Quartz Glass
- Rarity: Exotic
- Location: Cryogenic Canal Astral Cavern
- How to obtain: Use Magnet Bait.
2. Chaotic Golden Trout
- Rarity: Mythical
- Location: Cryogenic Canal Astral Cavern
- Recommended Rod: Duskwire Rod.
3. Fallen Resin
- Location: Mushgrove Swamp
- How to obtain: Use the Fallen Rod.
Once you have collected all three materials, visit Astronomer Vega and craft the Experimental Lens.
This lens activates Meteoric Outburst, an anomaly that improves the rewards you receive from meteors. Instead of getting only one item, each meteor can provide between four and six items. It also improves your chances of obtaining Gems.
If you regularly farm meteors or want to collect more materials from them, the Experimental Lens is a useful option to keep in your inventory.
How to Get Moonlit Lens in Fisch
The Moonlit Lens is another craftable Telescope Lens, but its materials come from three different locations. You need Frozen Glass, Aurora Boreal Man o’ War, and Frozen Resin before Astronomer Vega can create it.
Here is where to find each material:
1. Frozen Glass
- Rarity: Exotic
- Location: Snowcap Island Astral Cavern
- How to obtain: Use Magnet Bait.
2. Aurora Boreal Man o’ War
- Rarity: Mythical
- Location: Boreal Hollow
- Bait: Minnow Bait
- Weather: Rain
- Season: Winter
- Time: Night
3. Frozen Resin
- Rarity: Secret
- Location: Mushgrove Swamp
- Recommended Rod: Arctic Rod.
The Aurora Boreal Man o’ War has specific fishing conditions, so make sure you visit Boreal Hollow during a rainy winter night. You should also equip Minnow Bait to meet its preferred fishing requirements.
After obtaining all three materials, return to Astronomer Vega and craft the Moonlit Lens.
The Moonlit Lens activates Lunar Eclipse, which provides a 5% chance of obtaining four different mutations:
- Lunar Mutation: 2.5x value multiplier.
- Celestial Mutation: 4x value multiplier.
- Nova Mutation: 6x value multiplier.
- Aurora Mutation: 6.5x value multiplier.
Unlike lenses that focus on a single mutation, Moonlit gives you several possibilities. It is a good choice if you want to hunt for different rare mutations, especially Aurora.
How to Get Stellar Lens in Fisch
The Stellar Lens is the only Telescope Lens that cannot be crafted through Astronomer Vega. Instead, you need to complete Brayden’s questline in Boreal Pines.
Find Brayden inside a small cabin in Boreal Pines and interact with him to begin the quest. Your first objective is to locate six Broken Stars scattered across different areas of Fisch.
Here are all six Broken Star locations:
1. Terrapin Island
- Coordinates: 124, 200, 1978.
2. Roslit Bay Volcano
- Coordinates: -2001, 190, 389.
3. Mushgrove Swamp
- Coordinates: 2519, 156, -921.
4. Ancient Isle
- Coordinates: 6142, 391, 657.
5. Snowcap Island
- Look at the base of the large central icicle beside a tree.
6. Moosewood
- Climb to the top of the lighthouse and search beside the wooden railing.
Collect all six Broken Stars before returning to Brayden. He will then give you another objective that requires two additional materials.
You need to collect the following items:
- Resin: Found in Mushgrove Swamp.
- Aurora Mutated Glass Diamond: Found in Overgrowth Cave.
Once you have both materials, return to Brayden and complete the final part of his quest. He will reward you with the Stellar Lens.
When equipped in the Telescope, the Stellar Lens activates Celestial Congregation, which provides a +25% Luck bonus. This makes it a useful option if you want to improve your fishing Luck while hunting for valuable catches.
Which Telescope Lens Should You Get First?
Each lens has a different purpose, so the best option depends on what you are trying to accomplish in Fisch. Some are better for leveling, while others focus on fish weight, mutations, or meteor rewards.
Here is a quick breakdown of what each lens offers:
- Stellar Lens: Best for increasing Luck with its +25% bonus.
- Deep Lens: Useful for catching heavier fish with its +25% Catch Weight bonus.
- Seasonal Lens: A good choice for gaining XP faster with its +25% XP bonus.
- Experimental Lens: Recommended for meteor farming because it increases meteor rewards to four to six items and improves Gem odds.
- Moonlit Lens: Useful for hunting multiple rare mutations, including Aurora, Nova, Celestial, and Lunar.
You do not need to use the same lens for every fishing session. Switch between them depending on your current farming target to get the most out of the Telescope.
Collecting all five Telescope Lenses in Fisch gives you access to different Astral Anomalies with useful bonuses. Four lenses can be crafted through Astronomer Vega using materials from Astral Caverns and other locations, while the Stellar Lens requires you to complete Brayden’s Broken Star questline.
If you want more Luck, start with the Stellar Lens. For XP, use Seasonal, while Deep is better for increasing fish weight. Experimental and Moonlit are worth collecting if you want better meteor rewards or more opportunities to catch rare mutated fish.
