In the latest Fisch Update, the Merlin NPC on the Sunstone island was experimenting with his magic crystal ball and had suddenly burst into multiple parts. As a result, numerous Rifts have been opening throughout Sunstone Island, each containing a shard of his crystal. So, if you are wondering where the Rift spawns in the game or Shards inside them, here is the perfect guide for you to follow.
Where does the Merlin NPC reside in Fisch?
To start the quest, you have to meet the Merlin NPC who resides on Sunstone Island. Take the ladder from the central part of the bay and climb to reach the top area. Here, you will find Merlin inside a small hut, worried. Interact with the character to start the questline.
Where do the Rift Spawns inside Fisch?
After starting the quest, the next step is to find the Rifts. For this, you have to wait for a server-wide notification that says "A Rift has been spawned on Sunstone Island". Yes, you read it correctly, the Rift also spawns on the same island in various locations. All you have to do is travel on foot to find the Rift that spawns in random places. Primarily, the Rift spawns right in front of her house or near the top of the ladder. Check these two locations before exploring the island.
What are the various types of Rifts in Fisch?
There is no single type of Rift; instead, there are four types of Rifts, each with a unique portal color. You must find all five of these different types of Rifts and get the Shard associated with them.
- Purple Rift - Shard of Nebulas
- Green Rift - Shard of Roots
- Blue Rift - Shard of Tides
- Red Rift - Shard of Ember
What are Rifts in Fisch?
The Rifts are nothing but portals with a small parkour obby inside. After entering these portals, you will have a short time duration during which you have to clear the obby and get the Shard at the end. The best way to finish these is to use your Advanced Gliders, or even the basic ones, to move past all the obstacles quickly.
Once you have cleared a Rift successfully, you can exit it with the Shard in your Inventory. Return the Shards to Merlin to get Cool Rewards.

Fisch Merlin Shard Quest FAQs
There is no fixed time for Rift Spawning in Fisch, as it is entirely random and varies from time to time. But, they only spawn on Sunstone Island.
Unfortunately, you cannot revisit a Rift in Fisch, and you will receive a message saying "A Magical Force is preventing you from revisiting the Rift."
You can stay inside a Rift for nearly 15 to 20 Seconds and must complete the Obby before that. Otherwise, you will be automatically kicked off.
