by

The Cultist Lair update in Fisch has introduced several new NPCs, mysterious challenges, and hidden storylines.

Among these, Maelira’s Quest is the first and simplest one most players encounter after entering the lair. Though it only requires catching a few fish, many players are unsure where to find them and what conditions work best.

This guide covers everything you need to know about completing Maelira’s Quest – including the NPC location, required fish list, best baits, weather, and the reward you’ll receive at the end.

Where to Find Maelira in Fisch

Maelira is the first NPC you’ll meet when entering the Cultist Lair, located beneath Terrapin Island.

To get there:

  1. Go to Terrapin Island and locate the hidden cave entrance at coordinates 0, 150, 2000.

  2. Use the Sundial Totem to make it night and the Smokescreen Totem to create fog.

  3. Pull the lever that appears to open the Cultist Lair gate.

  4. Inside, pass through the large doors and head down the stairs — Maelira stands right below the steps, wearing a purple outfit.

Interact with him to begin the quest.

How to Start Maelira’s Quest

Once you speak with Maelira, he’ll ask you to catch five different fish species found inside the Cultist Lair pool. These fish belong to the Cultist Lair bestiary, and each has a unique preference for bait, weather, and time.

The fish you need to catch are:

  1. Abyssal Slickhead

  2. Cave Loach

  3. Mexican Tetra

  4. Sinocyclocheilus

  5. Scaly Dragonfish

Maelira’s Quest: Fish Preferences and Best Conditions

Below is a quick breakdown of each required fish and its preferred conditions for faster catches:

Fish Name Best Bait Weather Time Season
Abyssal Slickhead Minnow Rain Night Summer
Cave Loach Worm Foggy Day Autumn
Mexican Tetra Insect Foggy Day Summer
Sinocyclocheilus Insect Foggy Day Spring
Scaly Dragonfish Minnow Windy Night Winter

Most of these are fairly easy to catch within a few minutes, except the Scaly Dragonfish, which is a mythical fish and takes a bit more patience due to its lower spawn rate.

Pro Tips for Catching All 5 Fish Quickly

  • Stick to the same pool: You don’t need to move around — all five fish can be caught in the pool directly in front of Maelira.

  • Adjust time and weather: Use your totems or wait for the right conditions (especially foggy or windy) to increase your chances.

  • Use proper bait: Equip Minnow and Insect alternately based on the fish type.

  • Stay patient: The Dragonfish may take several casts, so keep fishing until you get one of each required species.
