FischFright 3 adds four limited relics to Fisch: the Doomed Relic, Grim Relic, Vile Relic, and Eldritch Relic. The event arrived with Version 2.06 on October 17th, 2026. Each relic can come from several different activities on Caustic Hallow, the event’s Halloween island. You can fish for them under specific conditions, pull them from trick-or-treating, buy them with Treats, or force them out of Frankenstein’s cemetery rituals. All four are Limited catches, and luck does not change their catch chance.
Quick answer: On Caustic Hallow, fish in Autumn with Jack-o-Moon at night (Doomed, Grim, Eldritch) or Foggy daytime (Vile). You can also trick-or-treat, buy relics from the Dutchman Merchant, or run Frankenstein’s rituals.
Where each FischFright 3 relic comes from
Every relic can be caught with a rod, and every relic can drop from trick-or-treating. The other sources differ by relic. The Eldritch Relic is the hardest of the four, so it costs more Treats and needs a much later ritual.
| Relic | Fishing and trick-or-treat | Dutchman Merchant | Ritual |
|---|---|---|---|
| Doomed Relic | Yes | 2,500 Treats | Scary Relic or Eldritch (random) |
| Grim Relic | Yes | 2,500 Treats | Scary Relic or Eldritch (random) |
| Vile Relic | Yes | 2,500 Treats | Scary Relic or Eldritch (random) |
| Eldritch Relic | Yes | 7,500 Treats | Eldritch (guaranteed) |
Event quests can award relics too. The appeasement quest at the scarecrow altar has paid out a Vile Relic along with Frightful Caskets, Treats, and a Doomed Skull.
How to reach Caustic Hallow
All four relics are tied to the event island, so start there.
Fishing setup for the Doomed, Grim, Eldritch, and Vile Relic
Every relic requires Autumn. After that, you need the right time of day, the right weather, and the right event bait. Three of the relics share the Jack-o-Moon at night. The Vile Relic is the only one caught during the day.
| Relic | Time | Weather | Bait |
|---|---|---|---|
| Doomed Relic | Night | Jack-o-Moon | Black Licorice |
| Grim Relic | Night | Jack-o-Moon | Black Licorice |
| Eldritch Relic | Night | Jack-o-Moon | Sour Jelly Candy |
| Vile Relic | Day | Foggy | Black Licorice |
The Doomed Relic’s in-game preference has also been listed as Sour Jelly Candy. If Black Licorice isn’t producing it under a Jack-o-Moon, switch to Sour Jelly Candy, which is the same bait used for the Eldritch Relic.
Frightful Pools are the other fishing route. These are localized events that spawn in Grim, Vile, Doomed, and Eldritch versions, and each pool gives its matching relic. You can catch the Doomed Relic in both the Doomed Frightful Pool and the Eldritch Frightful Pool. Don’t expect a quick catch. The Doomed Relic has a resilience of 20, rated Hard, and a -50% progress speed penalty, so the reel-in takes longer than a normal event fish.
Trick-or-treating for relics
Trick-or-treating requires no setup beyond the right tool. The rewards are random, and most knocks give candy instead of a relic. It works best as a side activity while you wait for the weather or time to change.
Buying relics from the Dutchman Merchant
If you have enough Treats, the Dutchman Merchant on the ghost ship sells all four relics outright. The Grim, Vile, and Doomed Relics cost 2,500 Treats each. The Eldritch Relic costs 7,500 Treats. Buying the full set comes to 15,000 Treats. That is the only method that doesn’t depend on a random roll.
Frankenstein’s cemetery rituals that award relics
Frankenstein stands next to the central altar in the Caustic Hallow cemetery. Talk to him to see the ritual list. Starting any ritual costs 100 Treats. Rituals unlock in a fixed chain, so two of them are relevant for relics: the Scary Relic Ritual, which comes early, and the Eldritch Ritual, which comes much later.
After you pay, a placement timer starts and cannot be paused. Place each ingredient into its Jack-o-Lantern pedestal, then put the Skeleton Hand item on the central hand altar before the timer runs out. Items left in your inventory don’t count. Other players on the server can help by placing pieces. Skulls from FischFright 2 are not accepted. Only 2026 FischFright Skulls count.
Scary Relic Ritual (Grim, Vile, or Doomed)
This ritual unlocks after you complete the Hexed Ritual and have one Awakened Skeletal Hand. It gives one random Grim, Vile, or Doomed Relic. You can’t pick which one you get.
| Slot | Required item |
|---|---|
| Jack-o-Lantern | Sour Patch Salmon |
| Jack-o-Lantern | Strange Root |
| Jack-o-Lantern | Grim-mutated Gargoyle Grouper |
| Jack-o-Lantern | Vile-mutated Broomstick Bass |
| Jack-o-Lantern | Doomed-mutated Crypt Crab |
| Jack-o-Lantern | Spider Eye |
| Jack-o-Lantern | Bat Wing |
| Jack-o-Lantern | Any 2026 FischFright Skull |
| Skeleton Hand | Any 2026 FischFright Skull |
The three mutated fish need to carry the mutation shown in the table, not just match the species. Bring two 2026 FischFright Skulls, because the ritual uses one in a pedestal and one on the hand altar.
Eldritch Ritual (Eldritch plus one random relic)
The Eldritch Ritual guarantees an Eldritch Relic and also gives one random Grim, Vile, or Doomed Relic. Before it opens, you must complete the Haunted Cemetery Ritual, be at Hex Stage 2, and have four Awakened Skeletal Hands.
- Jack-o-Lanterns: 7 Witch Ingredients of any kind
- Skeleton Hands: 3 Dark Art Skulls
- Skeleton Hands: 1 Any 2026 FischFright Skull
Dark Art Skulls come from completing Goblin Quests on Hard difficulty. Witch Ingredients come from Hexed Ritual rewards and Goblin drops. The ritual uses seven Witch Ingredients at once, so stockpile them before you pay the 100 Treats.
How to confirm you got a relic
When you catch a relic, a catch notification appears at the top-middle of the screen, and your character says a line about it. For the Doomed Relic, that line is “Woah.. A Doomed Relic??”, “Doom approaches!”, or “Pure malice sealed in stone.” Each relic then shows up in your Bestiary. The Doomed Relic entry describes it as a stone carrying the weight of ultimate doom. A completed Bestiary page for all four relics, or all four in your inventory, means the set is finished.
