🎣 Suspicious Fisher Quest Guide — Roblox Abyss
The Suspicious Fisher is a mysterious NPC found in the Ancient Sands biome. Described as "An Ancient Forger," he sits quietly on a stone pillar, endlessly reading a worn-out book. His single quest is short but unlocks access to a hidden room containing valuable loot tied to the legendary Captain Rowan's treasure.
Where to Find the Suspicious Fisher
The Suspicious Fisher is located in the eastern section of Ancient Sands, sitting on top of a tall stone pillar beside a mysterious building. To reach him:
- Enter Ancient Sands — you need at least a Pufferfish Tube to reach the biome
- Swim past the main sandy floor area toward the eastern side
- Look for a stone pillar with an NPC perched on top, next to a locked building
- Interact with him to accept the quest
Gear Requirements
- Minimum Tube: Pufferfish Tube ($2,850) — needed to reach Ancient Sands depth
- Recommended Tube: Boat Tube ($5,250) — more oxygen and carry weight for comfort
- Minimum Gun: Crossbow Gun ($4,750) — Bigmouthfish require decent damage to catch
- Recommended Gun: Wasted Gun ($17,500) — makes the catch much easier
Quest: Rowan's Treasure
The Suspicious Fisher only has one quest, making him one of the simplest NPCs in the game. However, the objective itself can be tricky due to the rarity of the required fish.
| Quest | Objective | Reward |
|---|---|---|
| Rowan's Treasure | Catch 3 Bigmouthfish | 40 Star Shards + Access to locked room |
How to Catch Bigmouthfish
Bigmouthfish are Epic-rarity fish exclusive to the Ancient Sands biome. They are distinctive — large, round, and yellowish — but they spawn infrequently, which makes finding three of them the real challenge.
Spawning Behavior
- Bigmouthfish roam through the deeper sections of Ancient Sands
- They do not have a fixed spawn point — you need to explore and patrol the area
- Spawn rates are relatively low compared to common fish like Pompano or Cod
- Only a limited number of Bigmouthfish can appear per server at one time
Catching Tips
- Server hop if you cannot find any Bigmouthfish after a thorough search — some servers may have already had them caught by other players
- Use a Drop Luck Potion to potentially improve your chances of encountering rarer fish in the area
- Patrol in a loop — swim through the Ancient Sands in a wide circle, checking the deeper areas where larger fish tend to appear
- Check near rock formations and the sandy floor — Bigmouthfish often hover near terrain features
- Manage your oxygen carefully — it is better to do multiple shorter dives than risk drowning mid-catch
Pro Tip
If you are struggling to find Bigmouthfish, try visiting Ancient Sands in a less populated server. Fewer players means fewer fish have already been caught, giving you better odds of spotting them. You can also look for recently spawned servers by checking player counts in the server browser.
What's Inside the Locked Room?
After completing the quest, the Suspicious Fisher unlocks the door to the mysterious building next to him. Inside, you will find Captain Rowan's treasure — a hidden room from the "era of forging" that contains:
- Treasure chests with cash and items
- Unique lore elements related to Captain Rowan and the ancient forging tradition
- Star Shards from the quest completion reward (40 total)
The 40 Star Shards reward is quite generous for a single-objective quest, making this one of the more efficient quests in the game in terms of effort-to-reward ratio.
Who Is the Suspicious Fisher?
According to Abyss lore, the Suspicious Fisher is described as "An Ancient Forger" who appeared out of nowhere. He sits on his pillar day after day, absorbed in his mysterious book, seemingly guarding the building behind him. Locals say the building contains the remainder of Captain Rowan's treasure, a relic from an era when powerful items were forged in the depths.
His full backstory remains unclear — whether he is connected to Captain Rowan directly or simply stumbled upon the treasure is left for players to speculate. What is clear is that he values Bigmouthfish specifically, perhaps as ingredients for some unknown forging process.
