Fisch: How to Get the Ancient Energy Core in the Outer Deep

The Ancient Energy Core is a glowing device resting on the seabed of the Outer Deep in Fisch. It sits near a distinctive blue flower landmark, and grabbing it is the last piece Tinkerer Orik needs to finish his “Core Activation and Testing” quest, which unlocks a new companion.

Quick answer: Dive into the water from the Deep’s main NPC area, swim out to the Outer Deep, find the glowing blue flower on the sand, then press E on the yellow-green Ancient Energy Core beside it to Retrieve it.

What the Ancient Energy Core is

The core is described in-game as an ancient device that hums faintly and is far too heavy to move without a reason. That reason is Tinkerer Orik. Once you have his quest active, the object becomes interactable and you can carry it back. Without the quest, it simply stays put.

Where to find the Ancient Energy Core in the Outer Deep

Start at the main NPC area in the Deep, near the temple. Head straight into the water and begin descending toward the darker trenches below.

Swim outward through the underwater trenches toward the Outer Deep. This stretch runs deep, so keep an eye on your oxygen and depth as you push forward across the sandy floor.

Look for the glowing blue flower landmark planted on the seabed. It stands out clearly against the dark sand and marks the exact area where the core spawns.

Find the glowing yellow-green orb resting right next to the flower. That is the Ancient Energy Core. Move up close until the prompt appears.

Press E when the “[E] Ancient Energy Core” prompt shows the “Retrieve” action. This picks up the device so you can carry it back to Orik.

How to know the retrieval worked

When the interaction succeeds, the core leaves the seabed and the quest tracker for Tinkerer Orik’s “Core Activation and Testing” updates. Return to Orik to hand it in. Completing that step is what finishes the questline and unlocks the new companion tied to it.

Note: If the core does not show a “Retrieve” prompt, you likely do not have Orik’s quest active yet. The device is intentionally immovable until you have a reason to take it, so pick up the quest first, then come back.

If the core has moved after an update

Game updates have shifted the core’s exact spawn point within the Deep more than once. The retrieval method stays the same every time, so the reliable approach is to search the seabed for the glowing landmark and the yellow-green orb rather than a fixed coordinate. Once you spot the flower, the core is right beside it, and a single E press finishes the pickup.
