If you have been playing Fisch on Roblox lately, you have probably heard other players talking about the Shady Bazaar. It is the hidden underground marketplace tucked beneath Moosewood Village, added in the May 23, 2026 update. Inside, you will find exclusive shops, rare items, and a whole new currency called Shady Scrip that you cannot earn anywhere else in the game.
But here is the catch: the Shady Bazaar is locked behind a multi-step questline, and figuring it out on your own can take hours. I spent an entire evening running around Moosewood trying to piece it together, and I want to save you that headache. This guide walks you through every step of how to unlock Shady Bazaar in Fisch Roblox, from finding the Todd NPC to solving the riddle at the lighthouse.

What Is The Shady Bazaar in Fisch?
The Shady Bazaar is a secret underground marketplace located beneath Moosewood Village in Fisch Roblox. It was added in the May 23, 2026 update and serves as a hub for exclusive vendors you cannot find anywhere else on the map. Think of it as a hidden shopping district for players who have put in serious time grinding fish.
Inside the Shady Bazaar, you will find specialized shops selling rods, bait, companions, titles, and rare items. All purchases use Shady Scrip (S$), a separate currency from the standard C$ you earn from catching fish. You earn Shady Scrip by fishing in the Bazaar’s pond, completing tasks for vendors, and trading with the Scrip Vendor inside.
The Bazaar is not just a cosmetic addition. Some of the best mid-to-late game gear is locked behind these shops, including the Shady Rod and the Moonlit Rod. If you want to stay competitive and catch the rarest fish in Fisch, getting access to the Shady Bazaar is a must.
Requirements to Enter The Shady Bazaar
Before you can even start the unlock quest, you need to meet one hard requirement: you must have caught at least 250,000 C$ worth of fish over your Fisch career. This is a lifetime total, not current cash on hand. The game tracks this automatically, so if you have been playing for a while, you may already qualify without realizing it.
If you are short on the 250,000 C$ milestone, focus on catching high-value fish in deep waters and using rods with good luck stats. Check the Fisch codes page for any active codes that give free C$ or bonus items to speed things up.
Beyond the C$ threshold, the quest itself requires you to play during nighttime in the game. The three NPCs you need to find only spawn when it is dark, so plan your play sessions accordingly. Night cycles in Fisch typically last several real-world minutes, giving you enough time to locate each NPC if you know where to look.
How to Unlock Shady Bazaar in Fisch Roblox (Step-by-Step)
Unlocking the Shady Bazaar comes down to completing a four-step questline called “Whispers Below: The Three.” Each step builds on the previous one, and you need to complete them in order. Here is the full breakdown.
Step 1: Find and Talk to Todd NPC
Your first task is locating the Todd NPC in Moosewood. Todd is not standing out in the open. He sleeps on the top bunk of a bunk bed inside a specific house in Moosewood Village. The house you are looking for is the one next to the merchant NPC on the main path through town.
Walk into that house and look at the upper bunk bed. You will see Todd sleeping there. Interact with him to wake him up, and he will give you the quest “Whispers Below: The Three.” Accept it to begin the full questline. Todd will tell you about three mysterious figures that appear at night and the items they carry.
Many players on the Fisch subreddit reported spending 20 to 30 minutes searching for Todd before realizing he is inside the house on the top bunk. Do not waste time checking every building. Head straight to the house next to the merchant and go inside.
Step 2: Collect the Three Quest Items from Night NPCs
This is the longest part of the quest. You need to find three NPCs that only appear during nighttime, and each one gives you a unique quest item. The NPCs are the Fisher, the Diver, and the Watchman, and each spawns at a different location around the Moosewood area.
You do not need to find all three in a single night. The items stay in your inventory between nights, so you can collect them over multiple game sessions if needed.
The Fisher NPC – Tarnished Lantern
The Fisher NPC spawns near the fishing pond area in Moosewood during nighttime. Look for a translucent ghost-like figure standing by the water. Talk to the Fisher, and he will hand over the Tarnished Lantern. This item glows faintly in your inventory and is one of the three artifacts Todd mentioned.
The Diver NPC – Barnacled Hook
The Diver NPC appears near the docks or deeper water areas of Moosewood at night. He looks like a ghostly diver figure. Walk up and interact with him to receive the Barnacled Hook. Some players have reported that the Diver spawns closer to the shoreline rocks, so check along the edges of the water if you cannot find him right away.
The Watchman NPC – Crow Feather Charm
The Watchman NPC is the trickiest to spot. He spawns near the lighthouse area at night, appearing as a shadowy figure patrolling the grounds. Interact with the Watchman to receive the Crow Feather Charm. This charm has a dark aura effect and is the third and final item you need for the riddle.
If an NPC is not showing up at their location, it might not be nighttime yet, or another player on the server may have already triggered their spawn cycle. Switch servers if you are having persistent trouble getting them to appear.
Step 3: Return to Todd NPC
Once you have all three items (Tarnished Lantern, Barnacled Hook, and Crow Feather Charm), head back to Todd in the same house in Moosewood. Talk to him again, and he will confirm that you have collected everything. Todd will then direct you to the lighthouse and tell you to find “Some Shady Guy” near it.
Make sure all three items are in your inventory before you go. If you dropped or lost any of them, you will need to revisit the corresponding NPC at night to get a replacement. Todd will not advance the quest if you are missing any of the three artifacts.
Step 4: Solve the Riddle at the Lighthouse
Head to the lighthouse near Moosewood. Near the lighthouse, you will find an NPC called “Some Shady Guy.” Before talking to him, equip all three quest items: the Tarnished Lantern, the Barnacled Hook, and the Crow Feather Charm. This is critical. The riddle will not trigger if you do not have all three items equipped.
Talk to Some Shady Guy, and he will present you with a riddle consisting of three questions. You need to answer all three correctly to open the gate to the Shady Bazaar. I have listed the exact riddle answers in the next section so you can answer them on your first try.
After answering correctly, the gate near Some Shady Guy will open, and you can enter the Shady Bazaar through the passage. The entrance is a trap door that leads underground into the marketplace. Congratulations, you now have permanent access to the Shady Bazaar on that server.
Shady Bazaar Riddle Answers
The riddle from Some Shady Guy consists of three questions, and you must answer each one correctly. Getting even one wrong means you have to start the dialogue over. Here are the answers you need.
Question 1: The first riddle question asks about the item that glows in darkness. The answer is the Tarnished Lantern.
Question 2: The second question asks about the item pulled from the depths of the sea. The answer is the Barnacled Hook.
Question 3: The third question asks about the item associated with a dark bird’s gift. The answer is the Crow Feather Charm.
The riddle questions may vary slightly in wording, but the answers always correspond to the three quest items. If you have all three items equipped and answer with the correct item name each time, the gate will open immediately.
A common mistake players make is trying to answer with generic descriptions instead of the exact item names. Always use the full item name (Tarnished Lantern, Barnacled Hook, Crow Feather Charm) when selecting your answer. If the dialogue gives you multiple choice options, pick the one that matches the item name exactly.
Shady Bazaar Shops and What to Buy
Once inside the Shady Bazaar, you will find several vendors selling exclusive items. All shops use Shady Scrip (S$), which you earn by fishing in the Bazaar’s pond and completing vendor tasks. Here is a rundown of the shops and what they offer.
Black Market: The Black Market sells rare and powerful items that rotate periodically. Check back often because the inventory changes, and the best items sell out fast. This is where you will find high-value items like the Invincible Relic (250 S$) and the Starfall Totem.
Rod Shop: The Rod Shop offers exclusive fishing rods you cannot get elsewhere. The standout items are the Moonlit Rod (75 S$) and the Shady Rod (4,000 S$). The Moonlit Rod is a great early purchase for its price, while the Shady Rod is an endgame investment.
Bait Shop: The Bait Dealer sells rare bait types that increase your chances of catching uncommon and legendary fish. If you are farming Shady Scrip through the Bazaar pond, investing in better bait here creates a positive feedback loop.
Companion Shop, Title Shop, and Rare Items Shop: These three shops round out the Bazaar’s offerings with cosmetic companions, exclusive player titles, and other rare finds. Browse them all on your first visit to see what catches your eye.
For new visitors, I recommend buying the Moonlit Rod first since it offers excellent value at 75 S$. After that, save up for Black Market items that rotate in, as those tend to be the most impactful for progression.
Tips and Troubleshooting
After going through the unlock process myself and reading through dozens of player reports on Reddit, here are the most common issues and how to fix them.
Todd is not appearing on the bunk bed: Make sure you are in the correct house (the one next to the merchant NPC in Moosewood). If Todd still is not there, try switching servers. Some players report that Todd does not load properly on certain servers after the update.
Night NPCs are not spawning: The Fisher, Diver, and Watchman only appear during nighttime in the game. Check the sky to confirm it is dark. If it is night and they are still missing, another player may have triggered their dialogue recently. Wait a few minutes or switch servers.
Items will not equip for the riddle: Go into your inventory, select each of the three quest items individually, and click equip. All three must be equipped at the same time before talking to Some Shady Guy. If the equip option is greyed out, try dropping the item and picking it back up.
The gate will not open after the riddle: Double-check that you answered all three questions correctly. If you answered even one wrong, the gate stays closed. Talk to Some Shady Guy again to retry the riddle. You do not need to redo the entire quest, just the riddle dialogue.
For faster Shady Scrip farming, focus on fishing in the Bazaar pond during active player sessions when drop rates seem higher. Some players also recommend checking the Fisch Admin Abuse schedule for timed events that boost earnings.
