The Extended Family quest displayed in Stardew Valley, outlining the objective to catch five legendary fish relatives for Qi Gems reward.
Understanding the Extended Family Quest
The Extended Family quest becomes available in Qi’s Walnut Room on Ginger Island. When you accept this fishing challenge, Qi informs you that “Family members of the legendary fish have returned.” Your objective is to catch Ms. Angler, Glocierfish Jr., Son of Crimsonfish, Radioactive Carp, and The Legend II within three days. Success in this quest earns you a reward of 20 Qi Gems. These legendary fish variants, unlike their original counterparts, can be caught regardless of the season or weather conditions. You’ll need to fish in the same locations where you originally found the legendary sea creatures to find their extended family members.
Catching Each Member of the Extended Family
To complete the Extended Family quest, you must locate and catch each of the five legendary fish relatives. Here’s a breakdown of where to find each one:
Ms. Angler Location
To catch Ms. Angler, the relative of the Angler, head to the waterway north of Joja Mart. Locate the small bridge in this area. Position yourself on the bridge and cast your fishing line into the water, aiming away from the direction of the stream. This spot provides the best chance to hook Ms. Angler.
Glacierfish Jr. Location
For Glacierfish Jr., the offspring of the Glacierfish, travel to Cindersap Forest. Look for the distinctive triangle-shaped island in the pond. Stand on this island, ideally on its rightmost corner, and cast your line into the surrounding water. Fishing from this island significantly increases your chances of catching Glacierfish Jr.
Son of Crimsonfish Location
To find the Son of Crimsonfish, related to the Crimsonfish, you need to access the Eastern Pier on the Beach. First, repair the broken bridge on the Beach using 300 Wood. Once repaired, head to the Eastern Pier and fish in the ocean from there. This pier is the designated location to catch the Son of Crimsonfish.
Radioactive Carp Location
The Radioactive Carp, a variant of the Mutant Carp, can be found in The Sewers. If you haven’t unlocked the Sewers yet, donate 60 items to the Museum to receive the Rusty Key. This key grants you access to The Sewers. Once inside, fish in the sewer water to catch the Radioactive Carp, alongside Mutant Carp.
Legend II Location
Finally, for Legend II, the successor to The Legend, go to Mountain Lake. Navigate to the small islands located in the middle of the lake, near the tent. From these islands, cast your fishing line towards the southern part of the lake. This is the prime location to catch Legend II and complete your extended family fishing list.
Recommended Tools for Success
To maximize your efficiency and success in the Extended Family quest, consider using specific fishing tools. The Iridium Rod is the best fishing rod available, offering the highest fishing stats. Using bait and tackle is also highly recommended. Wild Bait increases the bite rate of fish, saving you time. The Curiosity Lure further increases your chances of hooking rare fish. The Lead Bobber reduces the chance of fish escaping while reeling them in. Equipping these tools will significantly improve your chances of catching all five legendary fish relatives within the quest time limit.
Conclusion
Successfully completing the Extended Family quest in Stardew Valley requires you to locate and catch Ms. Angler, Glacierfish Jr., Son of Crimsonfish, Radioactive Carp, and Legend II. By fishing in the specified locations—north of Joja Mart, Cindersap Forest island, Beach Eastern Pier, The Sewers, and Mountain Lake islands—and utilizing recommended tools, you can achieve this challenging quest and earn 20 Qi Gems. Remember, these extended family fish are only available during the quest and will not respawn afterward.
