Scale the Depths Point Nemo Guide: Route, Fish, Artifacts and Preparation

Point Nemo is a late-game region where preparation matters more than rushing. Use this focused guide to confirm the route, plan high-value catches, check five artifact slots, and separate regional problems from broader map or customer questions.

Point Nemo quick answer

Scale the Depths Point Nemo is best treated as a dedicated late-game region, not just another stop on the general map. Arrive with reliable boat, line, storage, and customer upgrades so a failed deep catch does not erase the value of the trip.

The current site reference lists 20 Point Nemo fish and five Point Nemo artifacts. The highest listed catch is Apophis 99942 at 1500; the regional artifact names are Sextant, Loaded Support Sphere, Toy Submarine, Submersible Controller, and Asteroid Fragment.

Version check completed July 23, 2026: the latest official update announcement remains v1.0.4 from June 25, 2026. If a route or name differs, use the current in-game map and almanac as the final authority.

Point Nemo searches often mix four different tasks: unlocking the region, identifying a fish, finding a missing artifact, and matching a customer request. Keep those tasks separate. Use this page for the regional run, the fish page for the complete collection table, the artifact page for all 19 objects, and the customer page for favorites and payout evidence.

A profitable run does not require catching the rarest silhouette immediately. Common and mid-value fish can pay for the control or storage upgrade that makes the next oversized catch realistic. Treat the first successful return trip as a preparation milestone, then raise the risk only after the basic loop stays stable.

How to prepare for Point Nemo

A clean run starts before leaving the previous region. Reduce wasted travel and return with enough value to fund another upgrade cycle.

1

Confirm the destination

Open the world map and verify Point Nemo before spending resources or planning an order.

2

Stabilize the boat

Prioritize catch control, capacity, and recovery. A large fish is not profitable if the line fails.

3

Leave empty storage

Sell low-value leftovers and keep room for rare, very large, and comically big catches.

4

Plan two passes

Learn the route and common fish first, then return for rare catches, artifacts, and missing almanac slots.

Point Nemo fish worth planning around

The region includes reef fish, deep-ocean fish, and extreme late-game catches. These checkpoints support the complete all-fish page rather than replacing it.

Northern Anchovy can appear in Huatulco and Point Nemo, so it belongs as a supporting entry on the all-fish page instead of becoming the primary topic here.

Point Nemo artifact checklist

The artifact page owns the complete 19-item guide; this section keeps only the five names relevant to Point Nemo.

  • Sextant — Check optional navigation paths and confirm the exact almanac name.
  • Loaded Support Sphere — Search side routes and interactable objects, not only the fastest fishing line.
  • Toy Submarine — Revisit exploratory pockets after the main route is stable.
  • Submersible Controller — Do not confuse this entry with Toy Submarine.
  • Asteroid Fragment — Include unusual late-event routes in the final sweep.

Point Nemo customer and order checks

The phrase Point Nemo customer usually means a player is connecting a customer request with a late-region fish. Confirm the requested fish or category before assuming every high-value catch satisfies the order.

Use the dedicated customers guide for favorites and payout logic. This page remains focused on the region and its route.

Before accepting a difficult order, compare its likely payout with the opportunity cost of carrying the required fish. If the order consumes the only large storage slot or delays a needed boat upgrade, complete a simpler sale cycle first and return with more capacity.

Fast rule

Match the customer wording first, then verify the fish name and region before spending an upgrade.

Handling large late-game encounters

Point Nemo rewards patience. Preserve control instead of forcing every unusual silhouette on the first attempt.

  • Enter with storage for one oversized catch.
  • Recover the line before committing to another pull.
  • Use a failed attempt to learn movement timing.
  • Return after one upgrade cycle if the encounter is outside current capacity.

Point Nemo troubleshooting

Point Nemo is not available

Continue main progression, clear prerequisite regions, and recheck the current world map.

A Point Nemo fish is missing

Compare the current almanac with the complete fish page, test different depth bands, and revisit after progression changes.

One artifact slot stays empty

Verify all five exact names and sweep side routes, interactable objects, and late-event paths.

Progress differs from a guide

Check the game version and current in-game almanac because community lists can lag behind patches.
