“Lost Bone” steps pop up during jungle-side progression, and there’s a simple way to clear them without wandering in circles. Bones are a catchable item in Fisch, and you can pull them quickly if you fish in the right water with the right bait. Use the loop below to gather what you need, then return to the jungle to wrap the quest.

What counts as a Lost Bone in Fisch

Bone is an in-game catchable item (classified alongside other junk finds). If your quest asks for “Lost Bone,” catching Bone items fulfills the requirement. You don’t need a special rod enchant for this step, just the correct location and bait to speed things up.

Note: Items obtained through trading don’t contribute to Bestiary completion. Plan to catch Bones yourself when a quest needs them.

Fastest method: fish Bones at the Brine Pool

The Brine Pool is the most reliable place to farm Bone catches. It’s a contained salt pool area where daytime fishing yields a steady stream of brine creatures and junk — including Bones.

  • Location: Brine Pool (First Sea biome list)
  • Bait to use: Magnet (skews toward metal/rock/trash-class items, including Bone)
  • Time: Daytime is optimal for general Brine Pool catches; Bone is available here
  • Rod access: The Brine Pool area is typically fished with a stronger rod used for the zone; bring your midgame or better setup

How to run it efficiently:

  • Equip Magnet bait before you cast. Keep a full stack so you can fish continuously.
  • Fish in place for multiple casts; the Brine Pool is small, so repositioning isn’t required.
  • Bank every Bone catch immediately to track progress cleanly, then resume casting.

Backup sources that behave like “bone” objects

If you’re short a piece after your Brine Pool session, two more catch classes can help round things out while you travel:

  • Destroyed Fossil (The Depths): A similar “ancient remains” catch you can grab as you pass through. This won’t substitute for Bone in every case, but it’s useful to stockpile for other tasks.
  • General trash pools (various shores and caves): Magnet bait lifts junk quickly when you’re away from the Brine Pool, though Bone is most consistent in the Brine Pool itself.

Clean hand‑off in the jungle biome

With Bones in hand, head back to the jungle zone in the Second Sea. The jungle biome is represented by Lushgrove in the region list; most related steps, NPCs, and follow-ups cluster there. If the quest marker points to a surface pickup rather than a turn‑in, sweep Lushgrove’s obvious landmarks first (water edges, cave mouths, ruined structures) before combing secondary paths.

Simple sweep pattern that works well in Lushgrove:

  • Start from the boat landing and trace the shoreline clockwise.
  • Cut through the central ruins, then exit via any cave mouths back to the perimeter.
  • Finish with an inside‑out spiral around the tallest terrain features you haven’t checked.
Tip: Run the sweep during the day for clearer sightlines through foliage, then fish again at the Brine Pool if you still need more Bones.

Why Magnet bait matters here

Fisch doesn’t hard‑lock most catches behind bait, but preferred bait increases your odds. Bone is part of the junk pool that Magnet naturally attracts, which is why it outperforms general bait for this task. If you run out of Magnet mid‑farm, you can keep fishing, but expect a lower junk hit rate and a longer grind.

Minimal kit checklist

  • A rod suited to First Sea specialty spots (bring your midgame rod or better)
  • Magnet bait stack for the Brine Pool
  • Open inventory space for quick tracking
  • Boat access to hop between the jungle biome and Brine Pool without downtime

Troubleshooting common snags

  • Progress isn’t updating: Make sure the item in your inventory is Bone caught by you. Banking and re‑opening your inventory can refresh counters.
  • Bone drop feels slow: Re‑equip Magnet, fish during the day in the Brine Pool, and avoid unnecessary server hops that reset good RNG streaks.
  • No quest marker in the jungle: Walk the biome’s main loops; some jungle steps only progress when you enter certain sub‑areas.

The tight loop is simple: Magnet at the Brine Pool for Bones, then back to the jungle to hand in or grab any remaining surface pickups. Keeping your bait topped up and your route predictable turns a meandering scavenger hunt into a short, repeatable run.
