The Doomsekkar Rod is a limited-time rod in Fisch, added with the FischFright 3 Halloween update on October 17, 2026. There is no shop listing and no price. You earn it by finishing a three-part questline from an NPC named Doomsekkar, and you can only do that while FischFright 3 is running.
Quick answer: Talk to Doomsekkar in the Caustic Hallow. Catch 100 Frightful Pool fish, land 50 Perfect Catches in a row there, and beat a Haunted House ghost. Then return to him.
Doomsekkar NPC location
Doomsekkar stands in the Caustic Hallow, a section of the new Halloween island next to the graveyard. Players often call this area the Cemetery. His coordinates are roughly GPS -14988, 146, -9663.
To reach the island, go to the spooky shop near Moosewood Village and interact with the Flying Dutchman there. It carries you over to the event area. From there, look for the green-flamed NPC by the graves.
Accept the quest before you start fishing any event pools. Two of the three objectives are counters, and catches made before you take the quest won’t be tracked.
Doomsekkar quest requirements
Once you accept, the quest tracker shows three objectives. All three must be finished before Doomsekkar hands over the rod. You can do them in any order.
| Tracker text | Target | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Catch 100 Fish from Frightful Pools! | 0/100 | Any Frightful Pool |
| At Frightful Pools, get a Perfect Catch on each of 50 consecutive fish! | 0/50 | Any Frightful Pool |
| Fight the spirits of a Haunted House | 0/1 | A haunted house |
Frightful Pools: The 100-catch and 50-streak trials
Frightful Pools are temporary event fishing spots that spawn at random points across the ocean. Variants include Doomed, Grim, Eldritch, and Vile Frightful Pools. Any of them counts. Fish caught in ordinary water do not, so don’t pad the 100 total with regular ocean catches. Because pools come and go, global chat is the quickest way to find one that’s live. A boat gets you there faster than swimming.
The two pool objectives run at the same time, so you can work on both in one session. Every catch adds to the 100 total. Every Perfect Catch also adds to the streak.
The streak is the hard part. It is 50 Perfect Catches in a row, not 50 spread over the event. One catch that isn’t Perfect resets the counter to zero. A rod you control comfortably matters more than raw speed here. Blade of Glorp, Seraphic, and Elemental are solid picks for keeping the bar steady. Watch the live counter on the quest tracker rather than counting in your head.
If you’re deep into a streak, finish it on the same server. Don’t hop servers halfway through a run.
Haunted House ghost trial
This objective has nothing to do with fishing. It is tied to the event’s Trick or Treat activity.
Claiming the Doomsekkar Rod
When the tracker reads 100/100, 50/50, and 1/1, go back to Doomsekkar in the Caustic Hallow and talk to him again. An unlock alert confirms that the rod is yours. You also get 3,000 Treats and 5,000 XP in the Rod Journal.
If he won’t hand it over, check each counter on its own instead of redoing everything. The streak and the ghost minigame are the two objectives most likely to look finished when they aren’t.
Doomsekkar Rod stats
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Lure Speed | 100% |
| Luck | 275% |
| Control | 0.1 |
| Resilience | -666% |
| Max Kg | inf kg |
| Line Distance | 100 m |
| Journal | Limited (5,000 XP) |
The rod has a dark purple and silver-white body, gothic curves, glowing neon-green teeth, and a purple aura. With 0.1 Control, the reeling bar covers about 40 percent of the minigame. Because Max Kg is unlimited, there is no fish it can’t hold. The Resilience figure is not a typo. The rod is built to make up for it through its passive ability.
Older videos show this rod with very different numbers, such as 25% Luck and an 80,000 kg cap. Those figures come from an earlier Halloween event. The table above reflects FischFright 3. Don’t confuse it with the Dusekkar Rod from FischFright 2, which is a separate item with its own unlock.
Doomsekkar Rod ability: Pumpkin Bombs and the Doomsekkar mutation
During the reeling minigame, the rod drops pumpkin bombs onto the bar, away from the fish. A bomb goes off when the fish swims into it. That’s why the low Resilience helps rather than hurts: a fish that moves around a lot triggers more bombs. The current behavior works like this.
- A new bomb appears every 0.8 seconds, with up to 6 on the bar at once.
- Bombs that never trigger disappear after 45 seconds.
- Each detonation adds +8% progress, or +2.8% against Progress Locked fish.
- After 6 detonations, a slash adds +50% progress (+17.5% on Progress Locked fish) and grants 50 seconds of the Doomsekkar effect.
- From then on, each detonation gives 10 seconds of the effect to you and every player within 50 studs.
Catches can also roll the Doomsekkar mutation, which multiplies a fish’s value by 8×. The base chance is 10%, and each bomb that goes off during the catch adds 8%. In a busy fight, that’s how the odds get close to the roughly 50% rate players have been seeing. The effect’s duration stacks across detonations, so fishing near other Doomsekkar users keeps it running for everyone nearby.
Bomb timing and progress values have been reported differently since launch, and event rods tend to get rebalanced mid-event. The multiplier shown on your own catches is the number to trust. One more reason to keep the rod after you unlock it: later Cemetery rituals ask for Doomsekkar-mutated materials, and the questline also counts toward Ethereal Rose progression.
