Quest Stages

Darkest Depths (ccBGSSSE001_Fish_MQ4)
Stage	Finishes Quest	Journal Entry
10		Swims-In-Deep-Water has given me another fishing challenge. I should read the list he gave me to see what I will need to catch.
20		The fish that Swims-In-Deep-Water would like me to catch are only found in caves, flooded mines, and other underground places. Once I've caught one of each, I should return them to him. I can read more about each fish, and where to catch them, in the fourth volume of Fishing Mastery.
21		I've read the fourth volume of Fishing Mastery. The fish I need to complete the challenge can only be caught underground. Eldergleam Sanctuary in Eastmarch, Brood Cavern in the mountains south of Morthal, Embershard Mine near Riverwood, and Chillwind Depths south of the Dragon Bridge were places mentioned that I could try my hand at catching them.
200	Finishes quest	I've given Swims-In-Deep-Water all of the fish he requested as proof of completing his fishing challenge.

Notes

• Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the Radiant Quest system, and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.
• Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
• Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
• If an entry is marked as "Finishes Quest" it means the quest disappears from the Active Quest list, but you may still receive new entries for that quest.
• On the PC, it is possible to use the console to advance through the quest by entering setstage ccBGSSSE001_Fish_MQ4 stage, where stage is the number of the stage you wish to complete. It is not possible to un-complete (i.e. go back) quest stages, but it is possible to clear all stages of the quest using resetquest ccBGSSSE001_Fish_MQ4.
