How to Complete Maelira’s Quest in Fisch

The Cultist Lair update in Fisch introduces several engaging quests, with Maelira’s fishing challenge being the initial encounter for most players. While seemingly straightforward, this quest demands specific knowledge about fish preferences that many anglers overlook. This comprehensive guide provides optimized strategies to efficiently complete Maelira’s fishing requirements and claim your reward.

Maelira stands as your primary contact upon entering the Cultist Lair. If you haven’t discovered this hidden location yet, consult our Complete Guide for detailed access instructions. Once inside, proceed through the massive gates and locate the purple-clad figure positioned beneath the staircase. Engaging with him reveals the fishing challenge: capturing Tetra, Slickhead, Loach, Dragonfish, and Sinocyclocheilus species.

All five target species inhabit the central pool within the Cultist Lair. These fish represent unique entries in the location’s bestiary, with the mythical Dragonfish presenting the greatest challenge while others remain relatively straightforward to capture. Understanding each fish’s specific preferences for bait, weather conditions, time of day, and seasonal requirements dramatically improves your success rate.

Abyssal Slickhead: Minnow bait, Rain weather, Night time, Summer season

Cave Loach: Worm bait, Foggy weather, Day time, Autumn season

Mexican Tetra: Insect bait, Foggy weather, Day time, Summer season

Sinocyclocheilus: Insect bait, Foggy weather, Day time, Spring season

Maximize your fishing efficiency by planning sessions around optimal weather patterns. Foggy conditions benefit three species (Cave Loach, Mexican Tetra, and Sinocyclocheilus), making foggy days your prime fishing windows. For Abyssal Slickhead, monitor weather forecasts for rain events during summer nights. Always carry multiple bait types to avoid unnecessary trips back to storage.

Common mistakes include using incorrect bait during optimal weather windows and attempting to fish for multiple species with conflicting requirements simultaneously. Instead, focus on species sharing similar conditions, like the foggy-day trio, before transitioning to rain-specific fishing for the Slickhead. Upgrade your fishing rod through our Weapons Unlock guide to improve catch rates for the elusive Dragonfish.

Advanced players should consider bait efficiency – insects serve double duty for both Tetra and Sinocyclocheilus, while worms exclusively target Cave Loach. Time your expeditions carefully: begin with daytime foggy conditions for three species, then wait for rainy summer nights to complete the collection. Proper gear selection from our Class Guide can significantly reduce fishing time for all species.

Upon successfully capturing all five required fish, return to Maelira to complete the quest. The NPC will acknowledge your fishing prowess and reward you with Maelira’s Amulet Fragment, a valuable artifact for progression within the Cultist Lair narrative. This fragment serves as a key component for unlocking additional content and challenges.

The entire quest typically requires 2-4 hours depending on weather conditions and fishing skill level. With optimal strategy, experienced anglers can complete it in approximately 90 minutes during ideal conditions. The amulet fragment provides permanent benefits, making the time investment worthwhile for long-term character development.
