Exploring Atlantis in Fisch is no small feat. It involves uncovering hidden levers, detonating ruins, and using a celestial artifact to open the portal. If you’re ready to take on the challenge, here’s everything you need to know to safely explore this new area:
How to Get to Atlantis in Fisch
Getting to Atlantis is an adventure in itself. You’ll first need the Heart of Zeus, an artifact hidden within a submerged passage. To do so, you'll need to locate five levers on the Forsaken Shores, set off an explosive, and master some underwater ruins. Let’s start with the first step—finding all the levers.
All Five Lever Locations at the Forsaken Shores
The levers you need to unlock the TNT are scattered across the Forsaken Shores. While you might be tempted to ask the Pirate Captain of the Mysterious Pirates in the Grand Reef area for guidance, it’s faster to head straight to the locations. It's also cheaper, because bribing him costs 10,000C$ each time you want information. Each lever is cleverly tucked away, so use the coordinates below to track them down:
Lever | Description | GPS Coordinates |
---|---|---|
1 | At the back of the Merchant's stall, on the right. | (-2523, 135, 1581) |
2 | On the side of the rock above the Skin Merchant (near the canon). | (-2560, 149, 1670) |
3 | Behind the waterfall that's near the second lever (walk east-northeast to the small pond). | (-2705, 164, 1721) |
4 | Left of the wooden bridge near the top of Forsaken Shores (climb the ladders by the waterfall to the top of the island). | (-2877, 316, 1616) |
5 | At the entrance to the bottom of the skull cave, on the right side (where you can enter through the mouth). | (-2846, 132.5, 1513) |

Once all five levers are activated, a large crate of TNT will appear inside the skull landmark at the Forsaken Shores - yes, the one that you can find Jack Marrow in. Grab the TNT (it's actually three TNTs).
Where to find the Heart of Zeus

With the TNT secured, the next step is to blast open the underwater ruins. To do this, you’ll need to equip your diving gear, preferably the Advanced Diving Gear, or you may find yourself running out of air. If you don't have that version, head to coordinates (-790, 130, -3103) near the Grand Reef and look for a buoy. You can buy Advanced Diving Gear there for 15,000C$. It's possible to do this with Basic Diving Gear and Flippers, but you'll need to place the TNT, go up for air, and then go back down.
Once you're ready, go to the Grand Reef. Here's something no other guide is saying: Dive from the left side of the Mysterious Pirates' ship. If you equip your gear and dive from there, you'll find a temple-like structure right at the bottom with rocks at its entrance. The TNT should be placed on the starfish in front of the closed-up entrance. You'll need to swim down while using E to place the TNT, or you'll float away from the position.

Once the TNT is in place, locate the TNT trigger at the bottom of the stairs and activate it to detonate the explosives. This will reveal a hidden underwater pathway leading deeper into the ruins.

Follow the newly opened passage down, and then to the left. Surface into the temple, walk all the way to the back of the area, and you'll see the Heart of Zeus on a stone on the left side of the room. Pick it up, and it may ask you to "follow the lightning," which will take you to the exact location you need to be at to open the portal to Atlantis. However, the lightning does turn on and off, so I'll tell you where to go, instead.
Opening the Atlantis Portal

To enter Atlantis, you’ll need to use the Heart of Zeus at the correct location during the game’s night cycle. Make your way to the central island of the Grand Reef. When the celestial cycle shifts to night, equip the Heart of Zeus and stand at coordinates (-3576, 151, 524), which is at the very center of the central island where there's a burn mark. Equip the Heart and then left-click to activate it, which will teleport you into Atlantis.

Once you arrive, you’ll find a ghost Inn Keeper on the left who you can stay with to change your spawn point to Atlantis, and a swirling, golden portal on the right to return to the Grand Reef. On the left side of the Inn Keeper, you'll find the Champions Rod for 1,000,000C$.

To navigate Atlantis safely, you’ll need Advanced Diving Gear, along with Flippers or Super Flippers, to manage your time and oxygen effectively. You can visit the Atlantis Merchant, who is positioned on the east path at coordinates (-4459, -605, 1867), for any of these items. You can also find the Depthseeker Rod at his stall for 125,000C$.
Next, I'm going to break down each sub-area within Atlantis and tell you how to conquer the trials there.
Exploring Atlantis in Fisch
Cardinal directions for each trial from the portal entrance of Atlantis:
- East: Sunken Depths Trial. Go east from the center of Atlantis, past the Merchant, and over the bridge.
- South: Poseidon Temple. Go South from the center of Atlantis, over the bridge, and into the corridor with the soft torchlight, then dive into the water there.
- West: Ethereal Abyss Trial. Go West from the center of Atlantis, up the short staircase, and dive into the small pool of water with the spiky rocks surrounding it.
- North: Zeus Trial. Go north from the center of Atlantis, up the stairs past the large statue, and through the portal.
The Sunken Depths (How to Complete the Sunken Trial)

The Sunken Depths is the first area that you should explore in Atlantis can be found at coordinates -4506, -603, 1848. This glowing area is past the Atlantis merchant, over the bridge. Inside the pavilion you can see in the screenshot above, there is a raised stone table that shows five symbols on it.

Note the order of these symbols (take a screenshot, the order is random in each server), and then walk through the archway. Once you go through the archway, you'll see a closed door and a pool of water. To gain access to the door, you must complete the Sunken Trial, a puzzle designed for two players but doable solo with a little extra effort (and that screenshot you took).
Dive into the pool in front of the door and swim through the underwater maze until you reach (-5107, -680, 1710) to locate the Sunken Sigil. You'll essentially want to take the first right in the maze, and look for an archway on the left as you swim along.

Once you find the archway, you'll swim into a room with a large stone circle on the wall that has the same circles on it. Click the sigils in the order they were in on the stone table (from left to right) - if the order is correct, the sigils will light up. When you're done, return to the surface. The door should be open.
The open door will reveal a fishing area, as well as the Tempest Rod (1,850,000C$) and a Mythological Clock on the left side of the area.
Sunken Depths Mythological Clock Solution

To activate this Mythological Clock, stand close to it until the caption “God of Music” appears. You’ll need to select the Blue Harp using the buttons below, and then press the red center button. Be cautious—inputting the wrong answer twice results in a Kraken Tentacle attack, ending your attempt. Once activated, you can progress further into Atlantis.
The Ethereal Abyss (How to Complete the Ethereal Abyss Trial)

Before starting the trial, you’ll need to make sure you’re properly equipped with Flippers/Super Flippers and Advanced Diving Gear. Access the Ethereal Abyss through the underwater tunnel at -4113, -605, 1820, which you can find by walking west from the central room (where the Inn Keeper is), going up the staircase, and looking for the small pool of water surrounded by spiky rocks as pictured above.

Once you’ve reached the bottom of the tunnel, you’ll find a circular blue door with two pathways leading to separate rooms—one on the left and the other on the right. This is where the trial begins. To initiate the trial, one player must enter the left room, while the second player enters the right room. If you go alone, nothing will happen.
As soon as both players are inside, the doors behind them will close. At this point, you’ll have around 90 seconds to complete the first part of the trial.
Left Room Task

The player in the left room will encounter a dimly lit cavern filled with walls, ceilings, and floors where glowing buttons randomly appear.
- Objective: The left-room player must locate and press three glowing buttons.
- Mechanic: These buttons move to new locations if they are not clicked quickly enough, so speed is crucial.
When each button is pressed, a corresponding symbol will begin glowing on the clock inside the right room. Once three buttons have been activated, the task shifts to the right-room player.
Right Room Task

In the right room, the player will find a clock puzzle on the ground. This clock has six distinct symbols and three movable clock hands.
- Objective: Align the three clock hands with the glowing symbols generated by the left-room player.
- Mechanic: Players can click the clock hands to move them. The order in which the hands are placed does not matter.
Once all three hands are positioned correctly, press the red button at the base of the clock to reset the puzzle. This will signal the left-room player to begin their task again.
The left and right players must repeat their respective tasks three times to complete the challenge. If either player fails during any round, the puzzle will reset, requiring an additional three rounds to finish the trial. Once all three rounds are completed successfully, the circular blue door from the entrance will open.
Ethereal Abyss Mythological Clock Solution

Beyond the blue door, you’ll find another fishing area and the coveted Abyssal Specter Rod, which you can buy for 1,004,269C$ (what an odd price). Nearby, you’ll notice another Mythological Clock, which will display the words "Goddess of War" if you stand next to it. Use the arrow buttons to move the clock's hand to the Orange Helmet and confirm your choice with the red button.
