Fisch: How to Complete the Nagomi Idol Quest in Skycrest

Nagomi is the most forgiving of the seven Ancient Idols on Skycrest, and its five trials are the quickest route to an Ancient Idol Charm in Fisch. Four of the tasks are simple time sinks. The fifth one, a Secret-rarity crab pulled from a Crab Cage, is the only part that needs specific gear and conditions.

Quick answer: Stand still for 60 seconds, pet a companion 10 times, rod-catch 20 Common-to-Rare fish, collect 100 catches from Crab Cages, then cage one Grandpa Horseshoe Crab in the Desolate Deep using Golden Shrimp Bait. Talk to the Nagomi Idol again afterward to receive the Relaxation Charm.

Nagomi Idol location on Skycrest Island

Skycrest sits above the Fischfest area, so you get there in two hops. From Moosewood, take the large pink clam teleporter next to the leaderboard at roughly (350, 135, 250). If you have enough Fischfest bestiary progress, the Magic Conch does the same job.

Once you land on Fischfest, grab a boat from the Shipwright and sail toward the vertical waterfall at about (-25700, 2591, -4712). Swim straight up through it and you surface on the floating island.

Elite Glider equipped in the hotbar as the player glides over open water toward the island — A glider makes crossing the water between islands much faster.

The Nagomi Idol itself is at approximately (-26193, 3083, -4550). Interact with it once to activate the trial set, then open your Quests menu to watch the five counters tick over as you play.

All five Nagomi trial requirements

Trial	Requirement	What counts
A Relaxing Moment	Stand still for 60 seconds straight	No character or camera movement
Relaxing Companionship	Interact with a Companion 10 times	One companion, 10 pets
A Relaxing Catch	Directly catch 20 fish	Common, Uncommon, Unusual or Rare, rod only
More Relaxing Catches	Directly catch 100 fish with Crab Cages	Anything pulled from a cage
True Relaxation	Catch 1 Grandpa Horseshoe Crab with Crab Cages	Cage placed in the Desolate Deep

The two catch trials are separate pools. Cage pulls never advance the 20-fish rod trial, and rod catches never advance the 100-cage trial.

Fastest order to clear the first four trials

Buy 100 Crab Cages from the Moosewood Merchant and drop all of them in the shallow water along Moosewood Dock. Keep them clustered in one stretch so you can harvest the whole batch in a single pass later. Cages take around 10 minutes to fill.

While the cages work, plant your character somewhere safe and do not touch anything for a full minute. Camera movement counts as movement here, so keep your hand off the mouse until the counter reads 60/60.

Equip any companion from your satchel and press the interact key on it 10 times. The same pet handles all ten interactions, so there is no need to swap between different companions.

Fish normally with any mid-tier rod until you have directly caught 20 Common, Uncommon, Unusual or Rare fish. Rapid Catcher Bait speeds this up considerably because the trial only cares about volume, not quality.

Player reeling in an anglerfish with a rod during a fishing attempt — Only rod catches like this one advance the 20-fish trial.

Return to your cage line and harvest everything. Every fish and item you pull adds to the 100-catch counter, so redeploy and repeat the cycle until it fills.

Grandpa Horseshoe Crab conditions in the Desolate Deep

The final trial is the only real gear check in the set. The Grandpa Horseshoe Crab is a Secret-rarity creature, and it only comes out of a Crab Cage placed in the Desolate Deep.

Condition	Detail
Rarity	Secret
Location	Desolate Deep
Weather	Clear or Rain
Season	Spring
Preferred bait	Golden Shrimp Bait
Cycle	Any

Bring a Golden Crab Cage from Tidefall Castle or a Relic Crab Cage from Sunken Reliquary. A standard cage technically works for cage fishing, but the higher-tier cages are far better suited to a Secret target.

Load the cages with Golden Shrimp Bait and place them in the Desolate Deep. Running an Aurora Totem while you do this improves your overall odds.

Harvest and redeploy the cages on a loop until the crab appears. Electric and Golden variants of the Grandpa Horseshoe Crab both satisfy the trial, so you do not need the base version specifically.

How to claim the Relaxation Charm

Filling the fifth counter does not hand you anything on its own. Travel back to the Nagomi Idol on Skycrest and interact with it one more time to close out the set.

Nagomi Idol Talk prompt highlighted as the idol's favor level increases — Talking to the idol again is what actually turns in the completed trials.

You know it worked when an Idol Favor Up! notification fires, followed by the message unlocking the Relaxation Charm. Open your Crest Amulet afterward and equip it.

Relaxation Charm	Detail
Level 1 effect	Resilience +4% / +2%
Levelling method	Catching fish on Skycrest while equipped
Slot	Crest Amulet, up to nine Charms with enough Idol Favor

Why a Nagomi trial counter is not updating

If one number refuses to move, the cause is almost always a mismatch between what you are doing and what that specific trial tracks.

Symptom	Cause
60-second timer resets	Camera movement counts as moving
20-fish counter stuck	Cage catches do not count, rod only
100-cage counter stuck	Rod catches do not count toward this one
Crab never appears	Cage placed outside the Desolate Deep
Crab rate feels low	Not using Golden Shrimp Bait
No reward after all five	You have not talked to the idol again

There is a second payoff worth knowing about. Ryusei, standing nearby at roughly (-26331, 3150, -4459), only opens his limited rod wish once you have finished five trials from a single Ancient Idol, and Nagomi is the least demanding way to hit that bar. The wish does not drop a rod into your inventory, though. It starts the quest attached to whichever vaulted rod you pick.
