How to Access the Under the Sea Location

The Under the Sea area is one of the most highly discussed hidden map zones in Heartopia. Players eagerly search for this location to uncover exclusive deep-sea fishing spots and gathering nodes. Below is our comprehensive guide on unlocking criteria, map coordinates, and what you can farm once you arrive.

Note: Some details regarding the deep sea mechanics may vary based on ongoing events or future patch updates. Ensure your client is updated to the latest version to access recently released maps.

Unlock Requirements

Accessing the underwater zones isn't available immediately for beginners. Before you can dive into the ocean depths, you will typically need to complete several prerequisites:

Progression: Advance through the main map exploration quests to unlock the coastal regions.
Gear: While standard swimming doesn't require specific gear, traversing deep underwater areas may require acquiring specialized diving equipment or completing a prerequisite questline from seaside NPCs.
DG Level: Make sure your Developer Grade (DG) level is sufficiently high, as certain map instances are level-gated.

Exact Map Coordinates

Finding the exact entry point can be tricky without a marker. The primary gateway to the Under the Sea location is usually situated off the coastline, often referenced near the Harbor Village or remote island shores.

Head towards the deepest coastal shelf on your Interactive Map.
Look for specific interaction prompts (such as a diving spot or a boat NPC) that allow you to transition from the surface to the underwater instance.

What to do Under the Sea (Fishing & Gathering)

Once you successfully enter the underwater area, you'll be treated to a completely different ecosystem. It’s highly lucrative for gathering rare resources and pursuing advanced fishing.

Exclusive Deep Sea Drops

The flora and fauna under the sea provide high-value items that are essential for high-tier crafting and cooking. Here is what you can expect to find:

Rare Fish: This area holds exclusive aquatic life. Keep an eye out for deep-sea specific species, which often sell for significantly higher prices or are needed for high-level recipes.
Corals & Shells: Unique gathering nodes provide rare materials that cannot be found on land.
Sunken Treasure: Keep looking for hidden chests nestled within the seabed rocks.

If you're hunting for specific legendary fish like the Legendary Koi or specialized catches, be sure to bring appropriate bait as regular bread or worms will yield poor results here. For more details on catching methods, check our Fishing Spots Guide.
