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 acquire the five individual Gauntlets that will help you to open the Obsidian Trench. So, if you are wondering how to complete these quests, here is a detailed guide.
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 to receive 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 for the requirements for the fish mentioned.
| 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.
Complete Luminis Quest Guide - Mariana's Awakening
Next, everyone should travel to the Calm Zone, where you can meet the Luminis NPC. Like every other NPC you met earlier, he will also give you two sets of quests that you must complete to move ahead.
- Quest 1: Catch 4 Geode Grouper with Ethereal Prism Rod
- Quest 2: Perfect Catch 2 Pearl-Plated Pleco with Ethereal Prism Rod
For this, you need the Ethereal Prism Rod, which is present in the same Calm Zone at GPS (-4360, -11175, 3715). Also, equip your Mutated Sharky and Ethereal Prism Rod to start fishing for these two inside the Calm Zone. Use the table below to see all the requirements for these fish.
| Fish Name | Bait | Season | Time | Weather |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pearl-Plated Pleco | Seaweed | Spring | Day | Clear |
| Geode Grouper | Crustacean Mix | Spring, Summer | Day | Clear |
After finishing this, he will give you the Calm Gauntlet.
Complete Resonus Quest Guide - Mariana's Awakening
The final NPC you have to meet at Mariana's Awakening is the Resonus. You can find him at the Veil of the Forsaken, the final layer of Mariana's Veil. He will offer you the following set of quests to get the final Gauntlet.
- Quest 1: Perfect Catch 5 Gargoyle Goby with Leviathan's Fang Rod
- Quest 2: Perfect Catch 3 Wraith-Whisper Ray with Leviathan's Fang Rod
For this one, you need the Leviathan's Fang Rod, available for purchase for 350,000C$ after defeating Scylla. Equip the Mutated Sharky & consume a Glitched Potion to further increase your chances of catching the two fish, which prefer the following conditions.
| Fish Name | Bait | Season | Time | Weather |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gargoyle Goby | Worm | Autumn | Night | Foggy |
| Wraith-Whisper Ray | Squid | Spring, Autumn | Night | Foggy |
After that, you can visit the NPC again to get the final Veiled Gauntlet.
