Bobbing about on a boat in the deep ocean in Fisch, you find the renowned archaeologist, Dr Finneus.
For a limited time, he has an interesting task for any angler who’s tough enough to take on the job: find ten ancient bones hidden around the world, then return to him for a reward.
These bones have their own bestiary, which you can only view as a set if you come all the way back to Dr Finneus. However, you can also keep track of them from the “All” section of your own Bestiary.
You can apparently catch the bones from any water source on their designated island – I’ve had the Claw Gill from both Moosewood Pond and the sea by the docks, for example.
While many of Dr Finneus’s bones are supposed to be relatively easy to catch, they all take some effort and can only be found in certain areas around the map – here’s where to look!
If you’re struggling to land these catches, you can also get a resource boost and some free bait from our Fisch codes page.

Once you’ve collected all 10 bones (you don’t need to have them in your inventory, you just need to have completed the bestiary entry) return to Dr Finneus’s boat and he’ll give you two gifts: an exclusive bobber and the Handwritten Note which points the way to an exclusive puzzle.
