The Riddle Me Fish treasure hunt in Far Cry New Dawn has you at the mercy of talking electronic fish. If you were alive in the late 1990s-early 2000s, you probably remember Big Mouth Billy Bass and the various knockoffs based on that product. Well, get ready for a puzzle involving six of them. We’ll show you how to solve the talking fish puzzle in the Far Cry New Dawn Riddle Me Fish treasure hunt.
How to solve the talking fish puzzle in the Riddle Me Fish treasure hunt in Far Cry New Dawn
Once you reach the area where the Riddle Me Fish treasure hunt is located, you need to find a letter in a lockbox perched on the roof of an almost completely buried building. The note gives a hint that there is some sort of hazard protecting the bunker and mentions the six talking fish nearby.
The note reads:
Warning Note
Alright, you Highwaymen lice. You want to break into this bunker so bad, have at it.
Bunker’s under the shed. Door’s at the bottom of the ladder past the fish.
Go on then. Come in. I dare you.
If you go into the shed and down the ladder, you’ll notice fumes fill the path leading to the bunker. So, since you don’t have a death wish, you’ll want to head into the nearby house first. You can get in by jumping over the low wooden barrier and crawling through the window.
When you enter the house, you’ll be met by an odd sight. In the middle of the room there’s a generator, and on the wall, you’ll see six talking fish mounted on the wall in a circle.
On the couch you’ll find a note from someone named BF noting their exasperation with the fish puzzle:
BF’s Note
Goddamnit Sky, I got better things to do than hit a generator and watch those stupid fish wiggle!
Just tell me what the fucking order is!
The key to solving this puzzle is just to watch the fish. There’s nothing you can do with them to turn off the fire trap. However, they do give you the code you need to enter near the bunker to gain entry.
Turn on the generator, and you’ll notice that each fish has a number above them. You’ll also see that each fish will move its head in a particular order and return to its original position. You’ll want to note the order that the fish move.
You can also find the order by exploring the upstairs area of the house. There you’ll see a note where someone has written down the code:
Cheat Sheet
Fucking fish and their fucking colors I can’t tell apart.
Least I can use the numbers for the order.
- 2
- 4
- 6
- 1
- 3
- 5
Armed with this code, you can head to the area underneath the shed and deactivate the fire trap.

Now that you have the code you can head back under the shed and deactivate the trap. Just like the fish in the house, each of these has a number above them. Just activate them in the correct order to pass through safely:
- 2
- 4
- 6
- 1
- 3
- 5
Once you’ve entered the code, the door unlocks, and you can enter the bunker. Inside you’ll find the usual assortment of crafting items. You’ll also see a note telling about how the trap backfired on the person that set it:
Journal Page
I think I stared for ten whole minutes when I found Dylan burnt up by the door. Couldn’t figure out why I was just tired and not sad.
Then I dumped him in the closest pond to spare my back digging a grave, and I remembered how it was. You’re crazy, Sky. Leaving’s stupid, Sky. Just fish at the same place forever, Sky.
I don’t know why I never left Hope County on my own. At least I’m getting a move on now.
You’ll also find an audio log on the edge of the sink in the bathroom that’s worth a listen.
