Fruit Lover Frank wants 25 tropical fruits, and 24 of them are simply lying around Skycrest waiting to be walked over. The 25th is the catch. It sits inside Abaia’s Chamber, a sealed vault that only opens once four Sky Crystals are recovered from islands scattered across the map — including one that costs C$ 500,000 and one that requires an Albino mutated fish.
Quick answer: Pick up the 24 fruits spread across Skycrest’s islands, then bring the Lighthouse, Skull, Campfire, and Ice Sky Crystals to Abaia’s Chamber, place all four on their pedestals, and grab the final fruit inside the opened vault.
Reaching Skycrest and finding Fruit Lover Frank
Skycrest is the floating island added in the Version 2.0 update to Fisch, and it sits directly above the Fischfest 2 island. Start at Moosewood (350, 135, 250) and use the clam teleporter beside the leaderboard to reach Fischfest 2. Grab a boat from the Shipwright, sail around to the back of the island, and look for the vertical waterfall at (-25700, 2591, -4712). Touching that water lets you swim upward to the top.
Frank stands north of the Keeper of the Sky, next to the giant windmill, at (-25928, 3083, -5020). Talking to him starts Fruit Lover Frank: The Empty Basket and adds a 0/25 counter to your screen. Note that this is a limited-time quest tied to the Fischfest window, and Fischfest 2 is scheduled to end on September 12th, 2026 at 16:00 UTC.
All 24 tropical fruit locations on Skycrest
The fruits are collected by walking into them — there is no interaction prompt to hold. Each pickup fires a “Collected a tropical fruit!” message and ticks the counter up by one. The route below runs roughly clockwise from the angel NPC where most players arrive.
| Fruits | Where they sit |
|---|---|
| 1–3 | Around the starting angel NPC and the buildings right next to it |
| 4–6 | Beside the quest NPC, on a cliff edge, and next to a stone statue |
| 7–9 | Behind a brick building, beside a blue building, and on a small island with a statue |
| 10–13 | By a wooden staircase, beneath a stone pillar, on a high grassy ledge, and on top of a stone structure |
| 14–17 | On a grassy hill near the tower, on a distant floating island, on a lower ledge by a fence, and against a stone wall |
| 18–21 | Inside a ruined stone structure, on a high cliff edge, on a lower ledge, and under a palm tree |
| 22–24 | Near the wishing NPC, on the grassy path by the main tower, and on the beach beside the starting NPC |
Several of these sit on high ledges or on a separate floating island, so anything that gives you flight or extra mobility cuts the route down considerably. Without it, expect to circle back on foot for the ledge pickups.
Fruits 10 through 13 are the easiest ones to miss, since two of them are tucked under stonework rather than sitting in the open. Sweep the base of the pillar and the top of the stone structure before moving on.
The 25th fruit is locked inside Abaia’s Chamber
Once the counter reads 24/25, the last fruit is inside Abaia’s Chamber, the sealed vault on Skycrest. There is no alternate route in and no way to pull the fruit through the barrier. The chamber stays shut until four specific Sky Crystals are set into the pedestals ringing it, and a higher Idol Favor level is required before you can safely place each one.
All four Sky Crystal locations
Each crystal comes from a different island, and only one of them is a straight pickup. Budget for a long trip — two of the four involve their own quest or trade.
| Sky Crystal | Location | How to get it |
|---|---|---|
| Lighthouse | Moosewood | Climb to the top of the lighthouse and take it from beside the bed |
| Skull | Forsaken Shores | Buy it from Jack Marrow for C$ 500,000 |
| Campfire | Roslit Bay | Sell an Albino mutated Skycrest fish to Asher |
| Ice | Snowcap Island | Return Wilson’s lost rod from the secret cave below the mountain |
Jack Marrow’s dialogue for the Skull crystal is hidden behind the “About that strange crystal…” option, not his map-selling lines. Accepting the deal at C$ 500,000 returns “You just got a Skull Sky Crystal!” — if you cannot afford it, the option is greyed out rather than hidden.
Asher at Roslit Bay is the fussiest step. He wants a Skycrest fish carrying the Albino mutation specifically, which means fishing on Skycrest until one rolls, then choosing “I’d like to sell this to you.” The trade hands over the Campfire Sky Crystal immediately.
Wilson on Snowcap Island asks you to find his rod. It is in a secret cave below the mountain, and picking it up prompts you to head back to Upper Snowcap. Handing it over pays out 25x Common Crate alongside the Ice Sky Crystal.
Placing the crystals and opening the vault
Why the fruit count stalls
If the tracker is stuck at a number below 24, you have walked past a pickup rather than hit a bug. The three most common gaps are the fruit on the distant floating island, the one on the beach right next to the starting NPC, and the pair tucked under stonework near the pillar and staircase.
If the tracker sits at 24/25, the missing fruit is the vault one — check whether all four crystals are actually seated and whether your Idol Favor level is high enough to place the remaining ones.
Turning in the basket unlocks Frank’s follow-up, The Ocean’s Pulp, which asks for one of every limited tropical fish for his smoothie — puffers, eels, stingrays, the lot. Since the whole chain is limited-time content attached to the Fischfest window, the fruits are worth clearing early rather than leaving until the last few days.
