Fish It Prison Break Quest Guide
This guide explains how to complete the Prison Break quest in Fish It, a Roblox fishing game. You need to find the hidden prison area, catch the required fish, and deliver them to the quest giver to earn the reward. The quest involves a specific sequence of steps, and this article walks you through each one.
Quest Overview
The Prison Break quest is a mid-game challenge in Fish It that asks you to catch a set of fish from a special location. Unlike normal fishing tasks, this quest requires you to first locate the prison, which is not marked on the main map. Once you arrive, you must catch the fish listed in the quest menu and return them to the quest NPC. Completing it rewards you with a unique item and a decent amount of in-game currency, making it worth the effort for players who have reached the required fishing level.
Finding the Prison Area
The prison is located in the far northeast corner of the map, beyond the main fishing spots. To reach it, head to the snowy mountain region and look for a narrow path that leads to a cliffside. The entrance is a cave opening partially hidden by rocks, and you may need to jump over a few ledges to get inside. Once you enter, you will see a small courtyard with a few cells and a central pond where the quest fish spawn. If you are having trouble finding it, look for a group of players standing near the cave mouth, as this is a popular gathering spot for the quest.
Required Fish and How to Catch Them
The quest requires you to catch three specific fish: the Prison Bass, the Shacklefish, and the Cellfish. Each has its own rarity and spawn conditions, so you will need to adjust your bait and fishing spot.
- Prison Bass: Common, spawns at any time. Use any bait, but a basic worm works fine.
- Shacklefish: Uncommon, prefers the deeper part of the pond near the far wall. Use a shiny lure or a piece of metal bait.
- Cellfish: Rare, appears only when it is raining in the game. Use a glow worm or a fish head bait to increase your chances.
Cast your line into the center of the pond and wait for the bobber to dip. The mini-game is the same as elsewhere: keep the fish inside the green bar until the meter fills. Rare fish like the Cellfish will fight harder, so be ready to adjust your reel speed.
Step-by-Step Walkthrough
Follow these steps to complete the quest efficiently:
- Travel to the prison area as described above. Make sure you have at least one of each recommended bait in your inventory.
- Open your quest menu (default key: Q) and confirm the three fish you need.
- Catch the Prison Bass first, as it is the easiest. Cast near the edge of the pond.
- For the Shacklefish, move to the far side of the pond and cast as far as you can. Use the shiny lure.
- Wait for rain. If it is not raining, you can wait or use a rain totem if you have one. Catch the Cellfish during the rain.
- Once you have all three fish, go to the NPC standing near the cell block. He is a prisoner in a striped uniform.
- Interact with him and select the “Turn in Quest� option. You will receive your rewards.
Rewards and What to Do with Them
Completing the Prison Break quest gives you the Prisoner’s Rod, a fishing rod with a slightly higher luck stat than the standard rod, and 500 coins. The rod is useful for catching rarer fish in the next zones, but it is not the best in the game. You can also sell the rod if you already have a better one, but many players keep it for its unique look. The coins can be used to buy bait or upgrades at the shop.
Common Mistakes and Troubleshooting
Players often get stuck on this quest for a few reasons. The most common is not realizing the Cellfish only appears in rain, so they waste time fishing in clear weather. Another mistake is using the wrong bait, which drastically reduces the spawn rate. If you are not catching the Shacklefish, make sure you are casting to the deepest part of the pond, which is visually darker. Also, if you leave the prison area, the fish you caught will stay in your inventory, but the quest progress resets if you switch to a different quest. Double-check that the Prison Break quest is active in your menu.
Tips for Faster Completion
To speed things up, bring multiple types of bait so you can switch without going back to the shop. If you have a friend, you can ask them to tell you when it starts raining in their game, as weather is shared across the server. Also, consider upgrading your rod’s luck stat before attempting this quest, as it will reduce the number of casts needed for the rare fish. Finally, watch the chat for players announcing that the Cellfish is spawning, since it appears to multiple people at once.
