Mariana's Awakening main Quest revolves around completing the 5 Individual tasks offered by the Ignis, Glacius, Tenebris, Luminis & Resonus NPCs at each Mariana's Veil Layer to open the Obsidian Trench. So, if you are wondering how to finish these quests, here is a detailed guide.
Note: We are constantly updating the guide as we progress through the remaining gauntlets.
Complete Ignis Quest Guide - Mariana's Awakening
Ignis is the first NPC you have to meet for the Mariana's Awakening Quest. You can find the NPC standing opposite the Volcanic Rod at GPS (-3343, -2028, 4076) at Volcanic Vents. Interact with him, and he will give you the following quests.
- Quest 1: Perfect Catch 2 Ashen Fortune Charred Coelacanth with Volcanic Rod
- Quest 2: Catch 1 Ashen Fortune Obsidian-Plated Piranha with Volcanic Rod
To finish these quests, I recommend equipping the Mutated Sharky Companion along with your Volcanic Rod to increase your chances. Also, refer to the table below to see the requirements for the mentioned fish.
| Fish Name | Bait | Season | Time | Weather |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Obsidian-Plated Piranha | Worm | Summer | Day | Rain |
| Charred Coelacanth | Squid | Summer, Autumn | Night | Clear |
Once you finish both quests, return to the NPC to receive the Volcanic Gauntlets.
Complete Glacius Quest Guide - Mariana's Awakening
Next, go to Challenger's Deep. Once you arrive, you can meet the Glacius NPC at GPS (738, -3355, -1529), opposite the Challenger's Deep Rod. Like Ignis, he will also give you a set of quests to proceed further. I have listed those quests below, along with methods to complete them.
- Quest 1: Catch 3 Chilled Hoarfrost Halibut with Challenger's Rod
- Quest 2: Perfect Catch 1 Chilled Glacial Gulper with Challenger's Rod
Like the previous one, equip the Mutated Sharky and gulp down a Glitched potion, then use the Challenger's Rod to finish both quests using the table below.
| Fish Name | Bait | Season | Time | Weather |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Glacial Gulper | Shrimp | Winter | Night | Foggy |
| Hoarfrost Halibut | Fish Head | Winter | Day | Clear |
For finishing this quest, you will receive the Challenger's Gauntlet.
Complete Tenebris Quest Guide - Mariana's Awakening
You can find the Tenebris NOC on the third level of Mariana's Veil (Abyssal Zenith) at GPS (-1043.4, -1043.7, 84.7). This is across the Anglerfish Pond, and it's better to glide than swim to avoid anglerfish attacks. Speak with him to get the following quest set.

- Quest 1: Catch 2 Wrath Lumin-Lure Lanternfish with Rod Of The Zenith
- Quest 2: Perfect Catch 1 Wrath Void-Drifter Jelly with Rod Of The Zenith
Use your Rod of the Zenith to fish for these two fish, which prefer the following conditions.
| Fish Name | Bait | Season | Time | Weather |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lumin-Lure Lanternfish | Shrimp | Spring, Autumn | Night | Clear |
| Void-Drifter Jelly | Seaweed | Autumn, Winter | Night | Foggy |
After you catch them, talk to the NPC again to get the Abyssal Gauntlet.
