FischFright 3’s ritual chain stalls quickly without the four Ritual Roses. These are the items that awaken the Skeleton Hands on the Cemetery altar at Caustic Hallow, and the game never tells you where any of them come from. One is a shop purchase. The other three are quest rewards, and the last one is a long job.
Quick answer: Buy Davy’s Rose on the Flying Dutchman for 5,000 Treats. Finish the Doomsekkar Rod Quest for Ethereal Rose, Pumpkin Pete’s four quests for Gourdemort’s Rose, and the Dullahan Mansion Quest for Fable Rose.
FischFright 3 Ritual Roses and their Skeleton Hands
Each Rose is tied to one named hand on the altar. A fifth hand takes the Dark Art Skull instead of a Rose, which is why the altar asks for five awakening items in total.
| Item | Awakens | How to get it |
|---|---|---|
| Davy’s Rose | Azael’s Grasp | Dutchman Merchant, 5,000 Treats |
| Ethereal Rose | Xylar’s Grasp | Doomsekkar Rod Quest |
| Fable Rose | Korvath’s Grasp | Dullahan Mansion Quest |
| Gourdemort’s Rose | Malakor’s Grasp | Pumpkin Pete’s quests |
| Dark Art Skull | Kaelith’s Grasp | Goblin’s Quest on Hard |
The altar sits at the Cemetery, around (-15104, 146, -9621), next to the Frankenstein NPC. Every ritual there costs 100 Treats to start and runs on a timer that can’t be paused. Skeleton Hand items only count once they’re placed on the altar. A Rose sitting in your inventory does nothing. Later rituals also require more Awakened Skeletal Hands, from one for the Scary Relic Ritual up to five for the Omniscient and Ghoul Nessie rituals. That’s why you need all four Roses rather than just one.
How to get Davy’s Rose from the Flying Dutchman
Davy’s Rose is the only Rose you can buy outright. The catch is that the shop lives on a ship that flies.
The shop stocks one Davy’s Rose. The same menu sells the Dutchman’s Grasp (25,000 Treats) and Omniscent Souls (10,000 Treats), which later rituals need. Budget your Treats before you spend them.
The code FischFright2026, entered under Settings > Codes, gives 226 Treats along with the Doomsckkar Bobber, the Jack-o-Statue lantern, and 2026 Coins. That’s a small head start toward the 5,000.
How to get the three quest Roses
Gourdemort’s, Ethereal, and Fable Rose can’t be bought. Each one is the payout at the end of an NPC questline on Caustic Hallow.
Gourdemort’s Rose: Pumpkin Pete’s quests
Pumpkin Pete sits on a small rise next to a house at GPS (-14727, 148, -10009). Talk to him to start a chain of four tasks. Most of them run through Trick-or-Treating, and the Rose comes when the fourth one is done.
| Task | How to finish it |
|---|---|
| Trick-or-Treat 5 times | Visit houses on the event island |
| Return 5 candy-type fish | Earned from Trick-or-Treating |
| Catch and return a Jack-o-Angler | Fish or harpoon it |
| Give Pete’s Jack-o-Lantern friends 5 Treats | Feed each pumpkin by the big statue |
Jawbreaker Jellyfish, Pop-Rock Pufferfish, and Candy Corn Pack are candy-type fish. In front of Pete, five Jack-o-Lanterns encircle the large Pumpkin statue. Interact with each pumpkin and offer it a Treat, continuing until it registers as satisfied.
The Jack-o-Angler is the fussy step. It wants every one of these conditions at the same time:
- Bait: Black Licorice or Hallow-Pop
- Weather: Jack-o-Moon
- Time: Night
- Season: Autumn
Once you’ve caught one, the Jack-o-Angler is logged in your Bestiary as a new catch. Hand it to Pete, finish the pumpkin task, and Gourdemort’s Rose is yours.
Ethereal Rose: Doomsekkar Rod Quest
Speak to the Doomsekkar NPC at GPS (-14988, 146, -9663) to start the Doomsekkar Rod Quest. It has three objectives. The Ethereal Rose drops right after the third, a Ghost Mini-game where you fight off a spirit.
| Objective | Where it happens |
|---|---|
| Catch 100 fish | Frightful Pools |
| Perfect Catch 50 fish in a row | Frightful Pools |
| Fight the spirits of a Haunted House | Trick-or-Treat house marked by a glowing green number |
The Main World spawns Doomed, Grim, and Eldritch Frightful Pools on a rolling basis. Keep global chat on to catch their announcements. For a 50-catch Perfect Catch streak, rods such as Seraphic and Elemental, along with the Blade of Glorp, improve your odds. Interact with a Trick-or-Treat house displaying a glowing green number to begin the spirit fight.
Fable Rose: Dullahan Mansion Quest
Fable Rose takes the longest. It’s the reward for the Dullahan Mansion Quest, and that quest only finishes once you’ve completed six separate questlines for the residents living inside the Mansion. There’s no purchase route and no shortcut. Since it’s the slowest Rose, start talking to the Mansion residents early and work through their questlines while you chip away at the other three Roses.
Sharing Roses and checking you have them
Ritual items don’t all have to come from your own inventory. Friends and other players on the same server can drop pieces into a ritual you started, which helps if someone in your group already has a Rose you’re missing.
You’ll know you’re set when all four Roses are in your inventory: Davy’s Rose straight from the Dutchman Merchant, Ethereal Rose after the Ghost Mini-game, Gourdemort’s Rose after Pete’s fourth task, and Fable Rose after the sixth Mansion questline. At the altar, a hand counts as awakened only once its matching Rose is placed on it before the ritual timer runs out.
