- Players can get the new submarine by first heading to the Mariana's Veil opening and speaking to Dr. Glimmerfin.
- Once there, you must collect five different parts by drilling nearby rocks and placing the former on the submarine.
- You can even apply heat and ice upgrades to the Fisch submarine to make your way to the next Mariana's Veil areas.
The long-awaited Mariana’s Veil update is finally here in Fisch, and it brings a lot of new additions. From five new bestiaries to a lot of brand-new rods, there’s a lot of ground to cover. Among all the new additions to the game, we also have a brand new boat or, rather, a submarine that you can ride around in. Want to get your hands on one? Keep reading as we show how to get and upgrade the submarine in Fisch right here.
How to Get the Submarine in Fisch
The new submarine in Fisch is more than just a cool-looking transport. You will need the submarine to get to the new Mariana’s Veil area in Fisch. Furthermore, getting it will require you to go through a few steps that aren’t as tedious but necessary. Keep reading to learn how to do so:
1. Talk to Dr. Glimmerfin
To get the submarine in Fisch, you must first head out and talk to Dr. Glimmerfin in the game. This quirky will be found at the Mariana’s Veil opening, which is located at the coordinates X= -1439, Y= 130, Z= 511 near Roslit Bay. Once there, head over and simply speak to the scientist NPC.
He will begin by narrating his tale of his damaged submarine and that you must help fix it. To do so, players must collect five different parts, which we have listed below. The good doctor will then hand you a drill to collect the parts below:
- Side Fins
- Back Fins
- Windows
- Submarine Top
- Metal Top
2. Mine Obsidian Rock for Parts
Once you have the list of parts, head back just behind the submarine. You will see a few obsidian rocks with their own HP. Equip the drill the doctor provided and keep clicking the left mouse button to drill and look for parts.

Do note that you must keep drilling as, a lot of times, you simply won’t find anything. Even the new Fisch codes won’t help here since it’s all based on luck. Thankfully, the obsidian rocks at Roslit Bay keep regenerating, so you have plenty of time to collect these parts. Keep collecting by drilling away the rocks to get all the parts Dr. Glimmerfin wants.
3. Place the Submarine Parts
Once you have the parts, walk back to the submarine and equip the parts you have collected from the hotbar. Once done, simply place the submarine part by clicking and holding the E button.
Keep doing this for all the parts until the submarine is fully completed. You’re now almost ready to get the submarine in Fisch.
4. Spawn the Submarine from Dr. Glimmerfin
Once your submarine has been built, talk to Dr. Glimmerfin again, and he will rejoice. Now click the ‘Spawn Submarine‘ option, and he will get it for you. You can now simply swim to this new Fisch boat and climb it. Once there, press E to enter it.
The Fisch submarine can be driven like any boat. You can press Q to descend and E to ascend the submarine in Fisch. Keep reading to learn how to upgrade the submarine in Fisch.
Fisch Submarine Heat Upgrade
While you do have your submarine, you will need to upgrade it even further once you reach the hot Volcanic Vents area. This is because you must now turn your vehicle into the orange submarine by getting the Heat Upgrade. To get it, you will need to collect the following:
- Lava Crystal
- Inferno Hide (check out our Volcanic Vents Bestiary guide to know how to get it)
- Blisterback Blenny
- Infernal Iguanafish
You must go around and collect these parts around the area to get the orange submarine. You can farm Lava Crystals by using the drill on the lava rocks. The rest of the items can be fished, and you can even complete the Volcanic Vents bestiary here.
Once you’ve collected all the parts, place all of them on the podium. You’ll get the orange submarine upgrade on your vehicle and a nice Dr. Glimmerfin’s suit level one added to your inventory.
Fisch Submarine Ice Upgrade
Once you traverse and enter the Challenger’s Deep bestiary, you will be forced to upgrade your submarine once more. However, this time, it will protect against the nail-biting cold. As before, you will need to collect a few items, which are:
- Ice Crystal
- Cryoskin
- Polar Prowler
- Glimmerfin Suit Level 1

You will already have the level 1 suit because of the orange submarine upgrade above. However, you must fish in the nearby waters to collect the remaining items. This is also a good time to complete the Challenger’s Deep bestiary. Once that’s done, you will get an ice upgrade on your submarine in Fisch and an upgraded Glimmerfin level two suit added to your inventory.
And that’s how you get and upgrade the submarine in Fisch. Were you able to navigate this vehicle easily? Let us know in the comments below!
