The Cusk-Shot is a harpoon gun in Fisch that you build yourself rather than buy from a vendor. It lives on Ancient Isle, tucked inside the Ancient Archives, and it needs a specific crafting station plus six different materials before it drops into your inventory.
Quick answer: Travel to Ancient Isle, enter the cave behind the waterfall, rope down into the Ancient Archives, then use the Harpoon Gun Crafting table with 1x Monstrous Cusk Tooth, 3x Refined Scrap, 3x Abyssal Bio Fluid, 3x Ancient Bone, 3x Hardened Chitin, and 3x Radiant Prism Scale.
Materials needed to craft the Cusk-Shot
Gather everything before you make the trip, since the crafting menu will not let you finish without the full stack. The recipe calls for six ingredients across a mix of teeth, scrap, and scales.
| Material | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Monstrous Cusk Tooth | 1 |
| Refined Scrap | 3 |
| Abyssal Bio Fluid | 3 |
| Ancient Bone | 3 |
| Hardened Chitin | 3 |
| Radiant Prism Scale | 3 |
How to reach the Harpoon Gun Crafting table
The crafting station sits deep inside Ancient Isle, and it is not the same table you use for fishing rods. You have to physically travel there and drop into the Archives to reach it.
Cusk-Shot weapon stats
Once crafted, the Cusk-Shot arrives with the following stat spread. Its highest value is Accuracy, which makes it steadier when you line up shots on roaming fish.
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Power | 30 |
| Velocity | 38 |
| Resilience | 35 |
| Accuracy | 50 |
How to confirm the craft worked
The craft is complete once the Cusk-Shot appears in your bag as a usable harpoon gun. If the menu refuses to let you build it, the cause is almost always a missing material, so recheck that you are holding the full count of all six ingredients and that you are standing at the Harpoon Gun Crafting table rather than the rod table.
With the Cusk-Shot equipped, you can use it the same way as other harpoon guns in Fisch, catching roaming fish under the water. It fills a role between the earlier-bought guns and the higher-end options, giving you a solid crafted pickup while you work through Ancient Isle.
