This is a chronological archive of all of my Guides and Walkthroughs, usually for niche/indie games it’s hard to find info for.
If you see something that’s missing or have a question to ask, feel free to reach out in the comments or over email! I read all comments and do my best to update any guide no matter how old any time there’s new information or improvements to be made.
These can be of the form of direct walkthroughs, general how-tos with relevant information, or more specific like trophy conditions, lists of unlisted secrets/cheats/unlocks, or just any info I wish I had known when I started playing.
This is a guide for Tap Tap Fish – AbyssRium Pole, with only the 2020 Greek Myth Theme Event information. Almost nothing in the event has anything to do with greek myths. Note that “creatures” and “fish” are now more consistently called “friends” in the game now. See the main Pole guide for a more comprehensive set of information and for links to other events.

Flero Games, the current owner of mobile aquarium idle game Tap Tap Fish: AbyssRium, recently teased AbyssRium World: Tap Tap Fish. Not a ton of information on the upcoming Free To Play game is out yet, though app store pre-registration pages are up for iOS and Android with a few screenshots—notably, in landscape orientation.
This is a guide for Tap Tap Fish – AbyssRium, with only the 4th Anniversary Event information. Please consider supporting my Patreon (and get perks!) if my guides help you. See the main guide for a more comprehensive set of information and for links to other events. Thanks to SuperOrdinaryUser for help with a lot of this info!
Note: This one’s bad. It’s extremely difficult and very confusing, and poor enough that someone in the AbyssRium made a little Boycott poster. I’ll still provide info as always, but this event really sucks even more than recent ones, and if you don’t like it either you should consider giving the developers polite feedback on their Facebook.

This is a guide for Tap Tap Fish – AbyssRium Pole, with only the 2020 Tropical Theme Event information. It seems we’ve totally given up the “pole” aspect and this is just Abyssrium with ground. See the main Pole guide for a more comprehensive set of information and for links to other events.

2020-06-28: App is out under a slow rollout. Started the guide. No hidden fish…
Tropical Theme Event Summary
Unlike regular AbyssRium, this event simply uses Vitality instead of it’s own event currency. Just complete the tasks and unlock the fish. There’s also 3 event customization items that cost a hefty 1500 pearls each—but they’re not required to unlock any fish! They do give gameplay benefits for the event however, as do the new “treasure” items.
Thus far, events do not seem to expire, instead you select which event to play in the events menu (the book). Press the Back button after opening the menu to see other events. If an event is not selected, you will not progress toward unlocks in that event.
New fish:
11 cost Vitality
Fish list below
1 new pearl fish, but it’s NOT event-limited
Rooster
1 Paid IAP Fish
Snobbish Poodle
9 new Treasure items to get

This is a guide for Tap Tap Fish – AbyssRium, with only the Brave Viking 2020 information. There’s no hidden fish. Boring and increasingly makes me disinterested in the game.

MewBot is a great Pokecord alternative, especially as Pokecord itself bit the dust in June. So, here’s how to play this great and decently feature-rich Discord pokemon bot including all commands, strategy information, spawning information and more!
Feel free to leave a comment if you have questions or information to share! I read all comments on my guide, just like I do on my YouTube.

Guide updates:
2020-08-14: More info on Eggs. Breeding is much improved!
2020-09-04: Added complete information on EVs!
2020-08-19: Looks like MewBot finally ditched the ever buggy Reaction buttons. Added info on new controls related to the change.
2020-08-01: Mewbot’s database got corrupted again apparently lol. See below for info on how to restore SOME pokemon.
;restore (link to message from mewbot with ;info output containing the pokemon you want)
This feature was added to the game to help people (one by one…) restore missing pokemon. after yet another database loss. Most pokemon appear lost though I still had a few in my list.
This gif shows the process, or type ;restore to pop it up in discord.
You also need to use the command within the same channel as the ;info message
Adding MewBot to Discord
Top.gg has an invite link, just let the bot in and then you can use the ;start command to begin playing and ;help to see various help topics and commands.
Playing MewBot
Spamming doesn’t spawn pokemon! Only real, back and forth conversations with multiple people reliably spawn pokemon. Talk like a normal person in populated channels to spawn mons.
If you want to play MewBot you can play it in the official server, which is also the only place to get support for bugs etc. Please do not join my server just to play with bots, join the official server.
MewBot vs Pokecord Differences
Mewbot is a bit less reliable and (until it shut down) was less popular than Pokecord. Mewbot somewhat often goes down for up to a few hours, and at one point lost save data for players.
Mewbot spawns don’t work quite like Pokecord; you don’t need a command, just type the Pokemon’s name. New spawns do not override existing spawns (hallelujah!), but they do despawn after about 40 minutes. Mewbot edits the spawn post to show if a Pokemon is caught or despawned.
Mewbot has minigames like fishing, game corner, and even NPC battles. Fishing is a Hangman style guessing game and NPC battles are instant 1v1 fights with a random opponent (usually a Starter or Legendary Pokemon). These activities give items or money that can be used to buy items or pokemon in the market.

2020-05-29: There are no hidden fish this event, boring. I posted some thoughts about this on reddit.
2020-05-27: Event is live via slow rollout. I don’t have it yet either, so wait 3 or so days with auto updates on to see if you get it before you panic. I wish they wouldn’t release updates like this too.

2020-04-26: Event is live for some users. It’s buggy/causes crashes for some people. Expect a patch soon. Last Hidden Fish found! Unless the Puffin is obtainable, unsure about that one.
Temperate Forest Event Summary
Unlike regular AbyssRium, this event simply uses Vitality instead of it’s own event currency. Just complete the tasks and unlock the fish. There’s also 3 event customization items that cost a hefty 1500 pearls each—but they’re not required to unlock any fish! They do give gameplay benefits however, as do the new “treasure” items. I’ll have more info on treasures as soon as I can play the event myself.
New fish:
12 cost Vitality
1 is hidden
1 Paid IAP Fish
New gameplay feature: Treasure
Watch an ad or spent peals to get pieces of Treasures
Assemble treasures with 3, 5, or 7 pieces to get gameplay bonuses.
Ad crashes are a pretty common bug in Tap Tap Fish AbyssRium, and a particularly brutal plague on players is a persistent ad crash no matter what. For some players ads do not crash but instead never load at all, with the app saying No Available Ads or Cannot Request Ads, Try Again Later. For me, I usually get Loading… and then it just freezes and I have to close the app. Crash or no, it’s usually the same root problem.
This often prevents players from progressing in events (which are just a series of ads honestly), but fortunately in almost every case I’ve seen all players need to do is reset their Advertising ID, which is what this guide is for! Please consider supporting my Patreon (and get perks!) if my guides help you. See the main guide for a more comprehensive set of information on the game.
Note that after resetting your advertising ID, or if you opt out of Ads Personalization while you’re in here, you’ll see “less relevant ads”. Which could honestly be a boon for many people. Just something to be aware of, as that kind of tracking is exactly what this ID is for. It’s a pseudoanonymous number your mobile device’s OS sends to app (hopefully) instead of personally identifying information, so ads can track the number instead of “you”. By resetting the ID, the ads are tracking a new “you” from scratch.
Reset Advertising ID to fix Ad Crash on Android
On Android you need to change this from the Settings app. Go to Settings> Google> Ads> Reset Advertising ID and select OK. You can also select Opt Out of Ads Personalization, which should prevent most apps from using your advertising ID at all, though I’m not sure it fixes the Ad Crash bug in AbyssRium or not.
Different device manufacturers may customize the settings menu a bit, but it should be in the same or a similar location regardless of which device you have.
How it looks in Android 7
Reset Advertising ID to fix Ad Crash on iOS
iOS removed the ability to reset Advertising ID. RIP privacy. You can try turning off personalized ads which should (but may not) do the same thing. Start in the Settings App, then navigate to Settings> Privacy> Advertising> Personalized Ads
After resetting the Advertising ID, make sure AbyssRium is closed and start it fresh, and ads should start working again! You might still get some ads that crash, but the issue where no ads load, ever, should be fixed at least temporarily with a new Advertising ID.

Wait A Bit After Starting The Game
If your game doesn’t crash, but freezes on Loading… when trying to play an ad, in my experience sometimes this happens because the game hasn’t downloaded an add yet. Waiting a minute or two before clicking the ad can help.
