In Abyss, certain quest items are far rarer and more confusing to obtain than standard fish, and Fish Bone is one of them. If you are progressing through Ancient Sands, you will eventually run into quests that require this item. So, to help you with that, this complete guide explains exactly how to obtain Fish Bone, how the mini-game works, and where it is used so you can complete Marcus’s questline easily.
Where to Find Fish Bone in Abyss
Fish Bone can only be obtained while fishing in Ancient Sands in Abyss. The process is identical to catching Geodes elsewhere in the game, with one important difference. When fishing in Ancient Sands, the Geode reward is sometimes replaced with a Fish Bone instead.
How Often Does Fish Bone Spawn?
While fishing, a Treasure Chest icon can appear on the mini-game bar alongside the standard fish progress bar. This happens roughly once every five fishing attempts (20%). When the Treasure Chest icon appears, you need to fill its internal bar before finishing the main progress bar. If you complete the fishing mini-game without filling the Treasure Chest bar, you will not receive the additional reward.
To maximize your chances, first fill the main fishing bar to around 75% percent. Then shift your focus to the Treasure Chest bar until you see a check mark. Once that is done, return to the main bar and finish the mini-game. When fishing in Ancient Sands, this successful chest completion can reward you with a Fish Bone instead of the usual Cactus Geode.
