TLDR:
- Unlock the first four rods by completing the Youngster Goblin, Beatrix’s Cauldron, Webby Winston, and Doomsekkar questlines. Each requires specific challenges, ingredients, catches, and quest objectives.
- Complete the Dutchman’s Blessing Ritual to obtain the Dutchman’s Rod, requiring 5 mutated fish, 3 skulls, a Coffin, and Dutchman’s Grasp, plus 25,000+ Treats.
- Finish the Omniscient Ritual to unlock the Omniscient Spinecaster by gathering 12 offerings involving Jack-o’-Lanterns and 5 Skeletal Hands, with 10,000+ Treats needed.
- Prioritize the questlines first, then farm Treats for the final two rods, as they have the highest resource requirements.
FischFright 3 added six limited Halloween rods to Fisch. You can get four of them from questlines in and around Caustic Hallow and the other two are forged through a chain of rituals that depend on completing the first four. Figuring out all of these can be quite confusing. So, to help you out, we've compiled a complete guide with all the new rods, how to get them and everything you need to know about them.
How Do You Get the Boglin Branch in Fisch?
To get the Boglin Branch Rod in Fisch, talk to the Youngster Goblin near Beatrix’s Cauldron in Caustic Hallow to start the quest. The tracker lists five objectives:
- Complete 3 goblin challenges on Normal difficulty or harder. Goblins with a green outline are Easy and do not count for this objective
- Hand over 10 Witch’s Ingredients of any type to the Youngster Goblin
- Obtain a Boglin Skull
- Obtain a Boglin Twig (some quest text calls this a Boglin Fang)
- Obtain Boglin Wraps
Once all three Normal+ challenges are logged, you can farm any difficulty for the Boglin parts, Easy goblins can also drop them. All three parts are rare drops, so you should expect several rounds of goblin challenges before the full set appears.
Boglin Branch Rod Stats & Showcase
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Lure Speed | 80% |
| Luck | 180% |
| Control | 0.05 |
| Resilience | 20% |
| Max Kg | 550,000 Kgs |
How Do You Get the Eldritch Rod in Fisch?
The Eldritch Rod is another rod that you can get in FischFright 3 and it uses the same Witch’s Ingredients as the Boglin Branch, so farm both simultaneously.
- Travel to Beatrix the Witch near her tree in Caustic Hallow and find her cauldron
- Select “Offer Ingredient” or “Offer All Ingredients”. Each ingredient adds Hex Energy confirmed by a “+1 Hex Energy” message with a running total
- Continue feeding the cauldron until you reach Hex Energy Level 11
- Claim the Eldritch Rod from Beatrix.
She notifies you about each reward including the smaller unlocks along the way, such as the Witch’s Pot furniture, the Coffin Bobber, and Black Licorice.
Eldritch Rod Stats & Showcase
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Lure Speed | 90% |
| Luck | 230% |
| Control | 0.05 |
| Resilience | 15% |
| Max Kg | Infinite |
How Do You Get the Webweaver Rod in Fisch?
You need to first talk to the Webby Winston NPC who lives in Webridden Cavern, the cave beneath Caustic Hallow. His three quests can be worked on in parallel:
- Trick-or-treat at 16 different houses with the Candy Bucket equipped. Repeat visits to the same door do not count
- Catch 15 Cobweb Cod in the cavern’s green water
- Land 10 fish with the Webbed mutation inside the cavern
Completing all three quests pays out 1,000 Treats. Winston then sells the Webweaver Rod for 1,000 Treats, meaning the quest reward covers the full cost if you do not spend it elsewhere first.
Webweaver Rod Stats & Showcase
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Lure Speed | 125% |
| Luck | 250% |
| Control | 0.03 |
| Resilience | 10% |
| Max Kg | Infinite |
Spider Web (Passive): While fishing, spiders appear approximately every 10 seconds and provide nearby fish with the Webbed mutation.
How Do You Get the Doomsekkar Rod in Fisch?
You can find the Doomsekkar NPC near the Halloween graveyard, on the path outside Webridden Cavern. His questline has three parts, two of which can be completed at the same time.
- Catch 100 fish from Frightful Pools which are temporary glowing pools that spawn around the ocean during the event. A Frightful Pool Totem costs 3,000 Treats from the Flying Dutchman and forces one to spawn
- Land 50 Perfect Catches.
- Catch the haunted spirit. You need to wait for the server notification announcing a haunted house in Caustic Hallow. The correct house has a glowing green house number.
- Equip the Candy Bucket, knock on the door, choose either dialogue option, and keep your cursor on the ghost until it is captured. You are then teleported to a special area. Use your Magic Mirror to leave
Return to Doomsekkar to receive the rod and 3,000 Treats.
NOTE: The Doomsekkar Rod has -666% Resilience. That is negative, not a typo. The high Luck is offset significantly, so weigh that before committing it to boss fishing.
Doomsekkar Rod Stats & Showcase
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Lure Speed | 100% |
| Luck | 275% |
| Control | 0.1 |
| Resilience | -666% |

Pumpkin Bombs (Passive): Small pumpkin bombs appear during the fishing minigame. When the fish moves toward a bomb, you gain additional Progress Speed. Can also give fish the Doomsekkar mutation.
How Do You Get the Dutchman’s Rod in Fisch?
The Dutchman’s Rod is earned at the ritual grounds in Caustic Hallow by completing the Dutchman’s Blessing Ritual. Rituals unlock from top to bottom in the Rituals menu. So, you need to work through the Vexing, Scary Relic, Haunted, Jack-o-Moon, and Boglin Rituals first (each costs 100 Treats to begin).
Before starting the Dutchman’s Blessing Ritual, you need to do the following:
- Complete the Boglin Ritual
- Reach Hex Stage 3
- Awaken 3 Skeletal Hands (found around the ritual area. Each requires specific conditions before the awaken interaction becomes available)
Skeletal Hand awakening items used across both ritual rods, namely, the Dark Art Skull, Ethereal Rose, Fable Rose, Gourdman’s Rose, and Davy’s Rose which is sold by the Dutchman Merchant for 5,000 Treats, limited to one per player.

How Do You Get the Omniscient Spinecaster in Fisch?
The Omniscient Ritual is the final and most difficult rod to get in this event. Before it becomes available you need to complete the Eldritch Ritual, reach Hex Stage 5, and awaken all five Skeletal Hands.
To complete this ritual, the offerings need to bee split between two pedestal types in the ritual circle:
Jack-o’-Lantern Pedestals:
- x1 Grim mutated Jagged Bone (Fish)
- x1 Vile mutated Jagged Bone (Fish)
- x1 Doomed mutated Jagged Bone (Fish)
- x1 Eldritch mutated Jagged Bone (Fish)
- x1 Zombie Nessie (Fish)
- x1 Plush Nessie (Fish)
- x1 Dark Art Skull (Item)
Skeletal Hand Pedestals:
- x1 Boglin mutated Jagged Bone (not Shiny/Sparkling) (Fish)
- x1 Doomsekkar mutated Jagged Bone (Fish)
- x1 Dutchman's Curse mutated Jagged Bone (Fish)
- x1 Omniscient Souls (Item)
- x1 Omniscient Bone (Item)
NOTE: Shiny or Sparkling versions of Boglin fish will not work for either ritual. Keep plain copies and do not sell any mutated Jagged Bones until both rituals are fully completed.
Omniscient Spinecaster Stats & Showcase
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Lure Speed | 120% |
| Luck | 300% |
| Control | 0.05 |
| Resilience | 30% |
| Max Kg | Infinite |
| Progress Speed | +50% |
Two Forms (Passive): The Omniscient Spinecaster switches between Offensive and Defensive forms. Offensive form increases Progress gained but reduces catch rate and pulling strength. Defensive form does the opposite, more frequent catches and stronger pulls at the cost of progress.
