Where do I find the Koi Fish Scale and Bone Trident pattern?
Finding and learning the patterns for these items is quite easy. However, getting down to where they are is not that simple. The two most important materials you will need to craft these new items are in a location separate from the main koi pond area. This area is called ‘The Depths", and you will need to be outfitted with proper swimming gear to obtain the materials you need.
The koi pond secret lab also resides here. If you are unfamiliar with how to get to the secret lab, we have a fullguide availableto help you get there. Thankfully the materials are not restricted to a singular area down in the depths. You will have to scour the bottom to find what you need, though. It will help a great deal if you activate the secret lab at the bottom of the koi pond, which is a great way-station for traveling.
How do I get the Sunken Bone & Koi Fish Scale materials?
Once you’ve reached “The Depths” and are comfortable spending long lengths of time in the water, it’s time to gather the prime materials you need. It will help if you bring a lamp with you as well. You will have to scour the bottom of the tunnels in this area for the materials. There will only be two different materials that you will uncover; a muddy scale, which is theKoi Fish Scale, and aSunken Bone.
The sunken bone is pretty easy to spot, as they look like a fairly large chunk of rib-bone in the mud. The muddy scale looks like half a clamshell that is half-buried in the ground. You will need a shovel to dig up both of these items. Once you have dug up each item, take them to the analyzer. When you pick up the sunken bone, you will automatically learn the bone trident and bone dagger patterns.
After collecting and analyzing each item, you will have learned how to craft the koi fish scale breastplate, koi fish scale greaves, koi fish scale helmet, bone dagger, bone trident, and bubble helmet. For the nearest analyzer, head to the koi pond secret lab.
How do I craft the Koi Fish Scale armor, Bone Trident, and other items?
To craft the koi fish scale armor, bone trident, bone dagger, and bubble helmet, you will need to use the workbench. Unfortunately, these are not items you can craft on-the-go without a workbench. Listed below are the required materials needed to craft each new item.
