I’ve been absolutely hooked on Fish It since the Pirate Cove update dropped, and let me tell you – the TNT quest has been tripping up so many players! After spending countless hours exploring every nook and cranny of Pirate Cove Island, I’ve mastered this quest and I’m excited to share everything I’ve learned. Whether you’re stuck on your first TNT or hunting for that elusive fourth stick, this guide will get you through the Carpenter’s quest faster than you can say “shiver me timbers!”
The Pirate Cove update that dropped on January 12, 2026, completely transformed Fish It with a massive new island, 35+ new fish species, and some of the most complex quests we’ve seen yet. The TNT quest is your gateway to unlocking The Depths – a mysterious underwater area that’s packed with rare fish and future content.
Here’s the deal: The Carpenter NPC needs you to find four sticks of TNT scattered around Pirate Cove. These explosives aren’t just sitting in obvious spots though – they spawn randomly across several possible locations, which is why so many players get frustrated running in circles. Once you collect all four, you’ll blow open a sealed door and gain access to one of the most valuable areas in the game.
Honestly, this update has reignited my passion for Fish It! There’s something incredibly satisfying about exploring a brand-new island that feels like a genuine pirate adventure. The attention to detail is insane – from the creaking dock boards to the hidden caves, every corner of Pirate Cove tells a story.
What really gets me excited is how the quests interconnect. The TNT quest isn’t just a standalone mission; it’s your key to unlocking The Depths, where you’ll need diving gear (grab it from the Utility Store for 75,000 coins) to survive the underwater passages. Plus, with the Leviathan encounters during Admin Abuse events, there’s always something new to discover.
After dozens of runs through Pirate Cove, I’ve mapped out every possible TNT spawn point. Here’s exactly where to look:
This is where I usually find my first TNT. Head to the beach area near the Fishmonger NPC and look to their left. The TNT spawns on top of stacked wooden barrels, not on the ground. Pro tip: Adjust your camera angle to look down from above – sometimes the TNT blends in with the barrel colors!
The second TNT typically appears around the middle of Pirate Cove, near Captain Jones. Follow his line of sight to find a small nook with a hut. The TNT spawns on elevated surfaces here – check crates, boxes, and wooden structures. I’ve missed this one multiple times because I was looking too low!
This location is commonly missed because fewer players explore the rear of Pirate Cove. Look for a tunnel behind Captain Jones with a small lamp inside – the TNT spawns right beside that lamp. This area is quieter and less crowded, making it easier to spot.
The final TNT usually spawns near the quest objective – look around the stone gates or rock barriers you need to blow open. Cross the small pond near the Carpenter to find Rusty’s shop area. The TNT typically appears on a barrel in front of a small hut here.
After completing this quest way too many times, I’ve developed some strategies that cut my completion time by more than half:
Once you’ve got all four TNT sticks, head to the barred door behind the Carpenter and interact with it to blow it open. Congratulations – you’ve unlocked The Depths! But here’s what you need to know:
The TNT quest is just the beginning of Pirate Cove’s adventure! Here are the other major questlines:
I’ve made these mistakes so you don’t have to:
While you’re working on the TNT quest, grab these working codes to boost your progress:
A: Yes! TNT spawns randomly across the four locations I mentioned, so you’ll need to check all possible spots each time.
A: Absolutely! In fact, playing with friends makes it easier to cover more ground quickly.
A: The back side of the island (Location 3) is where most players miss their final TNT. Check that tunnel area thoroughly.
A: Not for all content, but you’ll need it to unlock The Depths, which is essential for late-game progression.
A: With my strategies, you can complete it in 5-10 minutes. Without knowing the locations, it could take 30+ minutes.
The Pirate Cove TNT quest might seem frustrating at first, but it’s honestly one of the most rewarding quests in Fish It. The sense of accomplishment when you finally blow open that door and step into The Depths is incredible – and trust me, what awaits you there is worth every minute of searching.
Remember, the key is knowing where to look rather than running around randomly. Follow my location guide, use those pro tips, and you’ll be swimming with rare fish in The Depths before you know it!
