Gone Fishing — Minecraft Dungeons II Quest Guide

Gone Fishing is a side quest in the Frozen Highlands, recommended at level 26. The Fisher has lost his fishing equipment somewhere in the ice caves, and recovering it means hunting down a spare key at a broken shipwreck while fending off illagers. Finishing the quest for the first time ties into Hiking Frozen Highlands — Minecraft Dungeons II Quest Guide, the main quest of the region.

Key encounters
No named boss is listed. The two arena fights — the illager ambush at the shipwreck and the ambush in the ice caves — are the main combat hurdles, so keep some breathing room and clear ranged enemies first.
Rewards
Repeat runs award the Looter's Charm and also roll a drop from the area's loot pool. Finishing first ties into Hiking Frozen Highlands — Minecraft Dungeons II Quest Guide. The source page does not list a separate first-completion gear reward.
Tips
- The Looter's Charm is a repeat-run drop, so this quest doubles as a farming loop for it.
- The key hunt at the shipwreck overlaps with the shipwreck-searching beats of Hiking Frozen Highlands — Minecraft Dungeons II Quest Guide — combining the two runs saves time.
- At level 26 the Frozen Highlands packs a punch, so bring crowd control for the two arena fights.
