Quick Summary
  • FischFright 3 is Fisch's third Halloween event, live since October 17, 2026 at 16:00 UTC. No end date announced yet.[[1]]
  • The event adds Caustic Hallow, a new event island reached by speaking to Captain Jack on the Haunted Ship near Moosewood Dock.[[2]]
  • There are 44 limited Halloween fish for the Bestiary, 6 event-exclusive rods, and a new currency called Treats.[[1]][[3]]
  • You earn Treats from selling event fish, completing NPC quests, trick-or-treating, and redeeming code FischFright2026 for 226 Treats.[[2]]
  • The ritual system at Caustic Hallow unlocks the two best rods: the Omniscient Spinecaster and the Dutchman's Rod.[[3]]
How to Reach Caustic Hallow and Start the Event

FischFright 3 went live on October 17, 2026 at 16:00 UTC as game version 2.06.012. To get to the event island, travel to Moosewood Dock and look for the Haunted Ship. Speak with Captain Jack and select the travel option. The rest of the map also gets Halloween dressing, with cobwebs and carved pumpkins at Moosewood and other islands.[[2]]

Once you arrive on Caustic Hallow, the Pumpkin King stands at the fountain in the middle of the island. His questline introduces most of the event's systems. His first task is to catch 15 FischFright fish around the island. That pays out the Classic Pumpkin Bobber, 500 Treats, and Frightful Caskets.[[2]]

The body of liquid surrounding Caustic Hallow will kill the player on contact, so watch where you swim. The island has several sub-locations: the plaza with NPCs, the Scarecrow's Maze on the left, the Webridden Cavern on the right, the Haunted Mansion on the hill, and the Ritual Grounds at the back-left.[[1]][[2]]

The Treats Currency and How to Earn It

Treats are the main event currency. Everything on Caustic Hallow runs on Treats, from rod purchases to ritual fees to the Flying Dutchman's shop. Here is where they come from:
  • Selling event fish to the Frightful Merchant
  • Turning in NPC quests, which pay between 500 and 3,000 Treats each
  • Trick-or-treating at island houses with the Candy Bucket equipped
  • Opening Frightful Caskets, which cost 30 Treats each
  • Redeeming the code FischFright2026 for 226 Treats, the Jack-o-Statue Lantern, the Doomsekkar Bobber, and 2,026 Coins
The Webweaver Rod alone costs 7,000 Treats, and the Dutchman's Grasp at the Flying Dutchman shop runs 25,000 Treats. Most of your Treats should come from questline payouts and goblin ingredients rather than trick-or-treating, since trick-or-treating has an 8-minute cooldown per house and does not guarantee a fish.[[2]]

Goblins, Ingredients, and Beatrix's Cauldron

Every 5 minutes, three goblins spawn at one of 13 locations: Moosewood, Roslit Bay, Forsaken Shores, Mushgrove, Scoria Reach, Ancient Isle, Lost Jungle, Terrapin, Snowcap Island, Skycrest, Sunstone, Castaway Cliffs, or Everturn Forest. A server message announces each spawn, and you have 15 minutes from the spawn to complete the goblin's objective before it disappears.[[1]]

Each goblin gives a small challenge, such as catching a fish, dancing, chatting, or answering trivia. Completing these earns witch ingredients. Ingredients have two uses: you can spend them at the Ritual Grounds, or you can feed them to Beatrix's Cauldron, which sits in the center of Caustic Hallow. The cauldron converts ingredients into Hex Energy, which advances you through Hex Stages. Hex Stage II unlocks the Eldritch Rod, and higher stages award bobbers, lanterns, furniture, and titles along the way.[[1]][[2]]

All 6 New Rods and How to Get Them

FischFright 3 added six limited Halloween rods. Four come from questlines in and around Caustic Hallow, and the last two are forged through the ritual chain that depends on the first four.[[3]]

[table]
Rod | Unlock Source | Core Requirement | Treat Cost
Eldritch Rod | Beatrix's Cauldron | Reach Hex Stage II (11 Hex Energy) | None
Webweaver Rod | Webby Winston (Webridden Cavern) | Complete 3 cave quests, then purchase | 7,000
Doomsekkar Rod | Doomsekkar questline (Frightful Pools) | Perfect Catches and ghost capture | None
Boglin Branch | Youngster Goblin quest | 3 goblin challenges, 10 ingredients, 3 Boglin parts | None
Dutchman's Rod | Dutchman's Blessing Ritual | 5 mutated fish, 3 skulls, Coffin, Dutchman's Grasp | 25,000+
Omniscient Spinecaster | Omniscient Ritual | 12 offerings across Jack-o'-Lanterns and 5 Skeletal Hands | 10,000+
[/table]

The Eldritch Rod comes with its own UI and a chance at the Eldritch mutation. The Webweaver Rod summons spiders that passively pull in extra webbed fish and uses a web-themed catch bar. The Doomsekkar Rod sets off bomb explosions on its control bar and gives a party aura with four buffs: 1.15x Slash strength, 1.2x Lure Speed, 1.1x Movement speed, and +10% Doomsekkar Mutation Chance. The Boglin Branch trades luck for a very large weight ceiling of 550,000kg.[[2]]

For the Boglin Branch, talk to the Youngster Goblin on Caustic Hallow. His quest requires completing 3 Normal+ goblin challenges, collecting 10 ingredients, and finding 3 Boglin parts.[[3]]

For the Webweaver Rod, head into the Webridden Cavern on the right side of the island. Webby Winston's chain has three parts: trick-or-treat at every house on the island with the Candy Bucket equipped, catch 10 Webbed mutation fish in the glowing green water inside the cave, and catch 15 Cobweb Cods. Once finished, the Webweaver Rod is available for purchase at 7,000 Treats.[[2]]

The Doomsekkar Rod comes from the Doomsekkar questline in the Frightful Pools. This requires Perfect Catches and capturing a ghost. The quest pays out 3,000 Treats on completion.[[3]]

Ritual Grounds and the Skeleton Hands

The Ritual Grounds are a circle of skeletal hands at the back-left of Caustic Hallow. Each ritual costs 100 Treats to begin. The rituals unlock in sequence, starting with the Hexed Ritual, then the Scary Relic Ritual, then the Haunted Ritual, and continuing through the Jack-o-Moon Ritual, Boglin Ritual, Enhanced Boglin Ritual, Dutchman's Blessing Ritual, Haunted Cemetery Ritual, Eldritch Ritual, Omniscient Ritual, and finally the Ghoul Nessie Ritual.[[6]]

Each ritual requires you to place specific ingredients into Jack-o'-Lantern pedestals around the ritual area before the timer runs out. Some rituals also require items placed in the Skeleton Hands. The items used to awaken the hands are the Dark Art Skull, Ethereal Rose, Fable Rose, Gourdman's Rose, and Davy's Rose. Davy's Rose is sold by the Dutchman Merchant for 5,000 Treats with a stock of one.[[3]][[6]]

The Jack-o-Moon Ritual calls the Jack-o-Moon weather, which grants 9x Luck and heightened chances for several mutations: +5% for Jack-o' (9.5x), +3% for Doomed (6x), +3% for Grim (6x), +3% for Vile (6x), and +1% for Eldritch (7x). Jack-o-Moon can also occur naturally at night or be summoned with a Jack-o-Moon Totem or Weather Matrix.[[1]]

The Ghoul Nessie Ritual summons Ghoul Nessie, the event's creature, which can be caught during the Haunted Cemetery event. It prefers Sour Jelly Candy bait at night under Jack-o-Moon weather.[[2]]

The 44 Bestiary Fish and Trick-or-Treating

FischFright 3 added 44 Halloween-themed catches to the Bestiary. Most require Autumn season, and many need specific weather, nighttime conditions, or the Jack-o-Moon weather event. Some notable catches include the Scarecrow Snapper, Jack-o-Angler, Haunted Eyeball, and Ghoul Nessie.[[5]]

Trick-or-Treating is another way to obtain some of these catches. Equip the Candy Bucket from your inventory, visit any house on Caustic Hallow, knock on the door, and choose the Treat option. Rewards include candies and event fish, but you will not receive a fish every time. If you are aiming for the full Bestiary, regular fishing with the right bait and conditions is generally more reliable.[[5]]

The Dullahan quest at the Haunted Mansion is worth doing for the Fable Rose alone. Catch and return one Dobhar from the Frightful Pools, complete all six mansion side quests (Butler Bartholomew, Chef Ghoulaudi, and Maid Lenore), and grab Dullahan's Heirloom from the mansion rafters. Turn in the quest for the Fable Rose, 3,000 Treats, and 18,000 XP.[[7]]

Flying Dutchman Shop and Ritual Materials

A second Flying Dutchman flies across Caustic Hallow. The Dutchman Merchant aboard sells ritual materials, totems, and cosmetics for Treats. Items with a stock of 1 can only be bought once.[[1]]
  • Dutchman's Grasp: 25,000 Treats (stock 1)

FAQ

When does FischFright 3 end?
No end date has been announced. The event started on October 17, 2026 at 16:00 UTC and the wiki lists the end as TBA.[[1]]

How do I get the Eldritch Rod?
Feed ingredients to Beatrix's Cauldron on Caustic Hallow until you reach Hex Stage II (11 Hex Energy). Ingredients come from completing goblin challenges at the 13 spawn locations across the map. The rod unlocks automatically when the cauldron reaches the right stage.[[2]]

What is the best FischFright 3 rod?
For most players, the Webweaver Rod is the most practical because it passively pulls in extra webbed fish. The Doomsekkar Rod is powerful but requires luck-based bomb mechanics on the control bar. The Boglin Branch is situational because of its 90% Lure Speed, but its 550,000kg weight cap makes it useful for very heavy event fish.[[2]]

How do I catch Ghoul Nessie?
Complete the Haunted Cemetery Ritual, which requires two Hex Stages and four Awakened Skeletal Hands. Ghoul Nessie can be caught during this event. Use Sour Jelly Candy bait at night under Jack-o-Moon weather for the best odds.[[2]]

Why won't my FischFright2026 code work?
Codes in Fisch are redeemed under Menu, then Codes. Make sure you are typing it exactly. If the code fails, leave and rejoin a fresh server. The code grants the Jack-o-Statue Lantern, the Doomsekkar Bobber, 2,026 Coins, and 226 Treats.[[2]]

How do I get Davy's Rose for the Skeleton Hands?
Davy's Rose is sold by the Dutchman Merchant on the Flying Dutchman that flies across Caustic Hallow. It costs 5,000 Treats and has a stock of 1. You need it to awaken one of the Skeleton Hands at the Ritual Grounds.[[3]]
