Main Quest

The **Main Quest** in *Intergalactic Fishing* consists of several story-oriented quests in which you will be tasked with saving Ankobo Lake.

Completing it will unlock additional modules which allow you to access more of the game's content.

## In-Game Description

The status of your Main Quest (to Save Ankobo Lake) can be seen in the Quests panel. There you can see what needs to be done next in your quest and quickly select the relevant lakes with your Teleporter to travel there. The Main Quest will always show up in the first quest slot (the top left) and is outlined in orange with a gray background.

* ULT License Test (Tutorial)

1. **Bring four fish from Lakwyr Lagoon to the Mayor of Ankobo**
Teleport to Lakwyr Lagoon. You can pretty easily catch 4 fish by the shore with Starter Lure B. Once you have four, teleport to Ankobo Lake and return to the Mayor's Dock. You can teleport directly to docks by clicking on them in the Travel panel. Note that this only works if you have been to the dock before, or if it is a Main Quest dock.
2. **Go talk to Dr. Matthews at her dock on Benson Pond**
Teleport to Benson Pond, then teleport to Dr. Matthews' Dock in the Travel panel.
3. **Bring four fish from Zacharia Lake to the Mayor of Ankobo**
Teleport to Zacharia Lake. Switch your minimap display to show depth by using the *Toggle Map View* button on the minimap. Then, using Starter Lure A, cast your line into the orange area just to the southeast of the center of the lake. Once your line hits the bottom, set your Winding speed to 2 and reel in for a second before letting your line fall back to the bottom. Repeat this until you get a bite. You can quickly catch 4 Drushoo fish this way. Alternatively, you can use Starter Lure B to fish in a vegetation area to catch Miny, although they can be much larger so could take a while to reel in. Once you have 4 fish, teleport back to Ankobo Lake.
4. **Return to Dr. Matthews at Benson Pond and tell her what happened**
Teleport to Benson Pond, then teleport to Dr. Matthews' Dock. You will obtain the Water Testing Toolkit which will be automatically added to your loadout.
5. **Take the Water Testing Toolkit module that Dr. Matthews gave you and go test the water in Ankobo Lake, then return to her with the results**
Teleport to Ankobo Lake. Open your inventory and click *Test Water* on the Water Testing Toolkit module. Wait for it complete, then teleport back to Benson Pond and talk to Dr. Matthews again.
6. **Go talk to Dr. Matthews' friend Dimitri at his dock on Zidops Lake**
Teleport to Zidops Lake, then teleport to Dimitri's Dock and talk to him. When prompted, select *Only one and he didn't seem happy to see me.* Dimitri will give you a TFG Teleporter MkI. Put this item in your current loadout, replacing the ULT Corp Teleporter. He will also give you a TFG Exploration Kit v1. Put this item in your current loadout, replacing the Water Testing Toolkit.
7. **Collect and sell exploration data with a completeness factor of 1.0 for one lake at the TFG HQ Dock on The Conflux, then talk to Dimitri at his dock on The Conflux**
   Teleport to an Unknown Lake in the bottom left of the Travel panel. Now is a good time to create a lure with all stats at 50, giving you the best chance of catching fish whose preferences you don't know yet. If you need help creating a lure design with all stats at 50, see the section on Useful Lures in the Lures article. You will also want to add Weight (+W) Mods to your lure so that you can fish in Deep Water. In your inventory, click *Run Tests* on your TFG Exploration Kit v1 module. Then, catch and dissect fish in this unknown lake until the completeness factor of the Exploration Data reaches 1.0, which you can see in the Lake Data panel. A good way for finding species of fish in unknown lakes is to start in vegetation areas, and then deep water if you're not getting much there. If you are still having difficulty finding fish to catch, try going to a different unknown lake, as some are more difficult than others to get 1.0 completeness. Once you have lake data with 1.0 completeness, teleport to The Conflux, then teleport to the TFG HQ Dock, and sell the exploration data there. Then, teleport to Dimitri's Dock and talk to him.
8. **Obtain a legacy ULT Network firmware chip from Kaylee so Dimitri can build a Teleporter Injector module. Kaylee can be found at her dock on Graf Pond.**
Teleport to Graf Pond, then teleport to Kaylee's Dock. Talk to Kaylee and she will request that you catch her a Piralue weighing at least 6 lb before she will give you the firmware chip.
9. **Catch a Piralue weighing 6 lb or more in Wracullus Pond and bring it back to Kaylee at Graf Pond**
   Teleport to Wracullus Pond and catch Piralue until you catch one that is 6 lb or more. Teleport back to Graf Pond then teleport to Kaylee's Dock and give the fish to her. While you are here, consider purchasing a better rod from the ULT Corp Dock. They sell a rod with 4 in all stats, the ULT Corp Rod Pro, for 150 credits, which you likely will have from selling the Exploration Data earlier. If you do not have enough credits, you can sell your extra Piralue at the ULT Corp Dock's Fish Market.
10. **Return to Dimitri with the legacy ULT Network firmware chip**
Teleport to The Conflux then teleport to Dimitri's Dock. He will give you a Teleporter Injector module. Put this in your current loadout.
11. **Equip the Teleporter Injector module and use it to teleport to Tafcotto Lake, then explore the lake and try to find some information about what happened to it**
Equip the Teleporter Injector, then from the Inventory Panel click *Teleport* on the Teleporter Injector module. Once you arrive at Tafcotto Lake, use the *Ping BOATs* button on your minimap. Go to this BOAT and you will meet the NPC Walter.
12. **Return to Dimitri and tell him what you have learned**
Teleport to The Conflux, then to Dimitri's Dock, and talk to him.
13. **Sell Exploration Data totaling at least 500 credits to the TFG HQ Dock on The Conflux to help Dimitri train his anomaly software, then return to Dimitri**
Similar to the earlier quest when you collected Exploration Data with a factor of 1.0 completeness, travel to Unknown Lakes, run tests with your exploration tools, and catch fish until you have Exploration Data worth at least 500 credits. This does not need to be a single exploration data, as long as the total is at least 500 credits. Sell it at The Conflux and then talk to Dimitri at his dock. He will give you a TFG Exploration Kit 10a. Put this in your current loadout. If you are still using the starting BOAT with only a single module slot, you will need to go back to Ankobo Lake to your Home Dock and put your TFG Exploration Kit v1 back into your loadout in order to travel to Unknown Lakes again. Tip: Don't forget to change your lure from the Piralue lure back to the 50 Lure before you go fishing at Unknown Lakes for the best chance of catching fish.
14. **Equip the new version of the TFG Exploration Kit module and go to Ankobo Lake and scan it for anomalies then return to Dimitri**
Teleport to Ankobo Lake. From the Inventory panel, click *Run Tests* on your TFG Exploration Kit 10a module. Then return to Dimitri at The Conflux.
15. **Go talk to the Mayor of Ankobo and see if he has any new information**
Teleport to Ankobo Lake then teleport to the Mayor's Dock and talk to him.
16. **Return to Dimitri and inform him about what has happened**
Teleport to The Conflux then to Dimitri's Dock and talk to him. He will give you a new lure mod and a new module, the Signal Locator. Put this in your current loadout.
17. **Create a magnetic lure with the lure mod that Dimitri gave you. Take it to Ankobo Lake and power on the Signal Locator module to find the ULT Corp beacon's location. Cast the magnetic lure there and let it sink to the bottom. Bring up the lure and copy the data from it.**
Teleport to Ankobo Lake. In the Inventory panel, click *Turn Module On* on the Signal Locator module. Follow the arrow on your BOAT. Create a lure with the new MAG lure mod that Dimitri gave you, then fish in the white circle.
18. **Return to Dimitri with the data from the Ankobo Lake ULT Corp beacon**
Teleport to The Conflux, then to Dimitri's Dock, and talk to him.
19. **Apply for a job with ULT Corp at any ULT Corp Dock (NOTE: You must meet the job requirements before applying - Requirements listed at ULT Corp Dock)**
To complete this step, you must meet at least 2 of the 3 requirements listed at the ULT Corp Dock:
	* Win a TournamentIn order to enter a Tournament, purchase a Tournament Terminal module from the ULT Corp Dock, then enter it at any ULT Corp Dock by clicking on *Upcoming Tournament* at the bottom, then *Join Tournament*. Note that you may not have enough livewell slots to have a chance of winning a tournament with a Fish Limit of 8, so you might want to wait for a bit to enter one with a limit of 4 instead. You can pass time quickly using the clock in the upper right. You can look up the lure information for the fish you are trying to catch in the tournament at the lake's page on this wiki. See Network Lakes for a list of the lakes. Tournaments are not too difficult, but sometimes you can unlucky, so if you're having trouble with this, try completing the other two instead.
	* Complete 5 Fish ContractsIn order to accept Fish Contracts, purchase a Fish Contract Terminal module from the ULT Corp Dock, then you'll be able to accept Fish Contracts at the dock. While completing 5 Fish Contracts will take longer than winning a tournament, it can be easier if you are having bad luck.
	* Set a lake record in any ULT Network LakeThis can be accomplished fairly easily by just fishing for a bit in an any of the Network Lakes. Eventually you will pull in a lake record. This can be accomplished quicker if you target a smaller fish species since it will take less time to reel in.
Once you have accomplished at least 2 of these requirements, go to an ULT Corp Dock, open the *Job Listings* and select *Apply for Job*. You will acquire an ULT Corp HQ Key. Put this into your current loadout. While you are here, make sure you have a BOAT with at least 2 module slots, as you will need it for an upcoming mission.
20. **Find Jasmine at her dock on Stolen Waters and set up a disguise for the upcoming mission**
Travel to Stolen Waters then teleport to Jasmine's Dock and talk to her. Select any disguise and alias you want.
21. **Return to Dimitri to prepare for the next stages of the mission**
Teleport to The Conflux then to Dimitri's Dock and talk to him.
22. **Return to Dimitri with the ULT Corp HQ Key module installed and an empty module slot for him to install the Smuggling Bay module in**
Make sure you have an empty module slot and the ULT Corp HQ Key equipped. You need a BOAT with at least 2 module slots to continue here, so go buy one if you haven't already. Remember you can change your loadout at your Home Dock at Ankobo Lake. Then talk to Dimitri at his dock in The Conflux.
23. **Teleport to ULT Corp Headquarters lake using your ULT Corp HQ Key module and travel to the Human Resources dock for your interview**
Use the ULT Corp HQ Key from your Inventory panel to travel to ULT Corp Headquarters. Teleport to the Human Resources Dock and talk to them.
24. **Travel to the Logistics dock in the ULT Corp Headquarters lake**
Teleport to the Logistics Dock and talk to them.
25. **Take Dimitri back to his dock on The Conflux**
Teleport to The Conflux then to Dimitri's Dock and talk to him.
26. **Bring one of each of the three species in Ankobo Lake to Dimitri at his dock on The Conflux**
Simply catch one of each of the fish from Ankobo Lake then take them back to Dimitri at The Conflux. The lure data for each fish is already fully visible but even using a 50 Lure you shouldn't have too much trouble catching one of each.
27. **Obtain an ULT remote control chip from Kaylee at her dock on Graf Pond**
Teleport to Graf Pond then teleport to Kaylee's Dock and talk to her.
28. **Catch four Armonfish in Graf Pond and bring them to Kaylee**
   Create a lure for the Armonfish or use the 50 Lure with Weight (+W) mods to catch 4 Armonfish. The purple or red areas just south of Kaylee's dock will be the best spots to fish for them.
29. **Take the ULT remote control chip to Dimitri at The Conflux**
Teleport to The Conflux then to Dimitri's Dock and talk to him. He will give you an ULT Drone Hijacker module. Put this in your current loadout.
30. **Take the ULT Drone Hijacker module to Ankobo Lake and remotely control one of ULT Corp's underwater collector drones and send it to The Conflux**
Teleport to Ankobo Lake then from your inventory panel, click *Connect to Drone* on the ULT Drone Hijacker module. Once it is fully loaded, click *Send to The Conflux* in the same spot.
31. **Return to the Conflux and talk to Dimitri at his dock**
Teleport to The Conflux then to Dimitri's Dock and talk to him.
32. **Bring four fish of each of the three species in Ankobo Lake to Dimitri at his dock on The Conflux**
Teleport to Ankobo Lake. This is the same thing as the earlier quest, just catch four of each this time. You may have to make multiple trips if you don't have enough space in your livewell, but it will keep track of how many you have delivered already. Tip: You can use the clock to wait until it the Feeding Activity is green for the fish you are trying to catch. You are much more likely to catch them during the green times. Upon handing them in, Dimitri will give you an ULT Emergency Recaller module. Put this in your current loadout.
33. **Equip the ULT Emergency Recaller module and go to some open water in a lake and trigger the emergency recall signal**
With the ULT Emergency Recaller module equipped, travel to another lake, such as Achebe Lake. From the Inventory panel, press *Send Recall Signal* on the ULT Emergency Recaller module.
34. **Return to the Conflux and talk to Dimitri at his dock**
Teleport to The Conflux then to Dimitri's Dock and talk to him. Congratulations on completing the **Main Quest**!
