FischFright 3 started in Fisch on October 17, 2026 at 16:00 UTC, and no end date has been announced yet. Almost everything in the event depends on something else. Goblin ingredients feed three different questlines, a single haunted house fight counts toward a rod and a ritual rose, and the final rituals only open once you have finished two other NPC chains. Taking the questlines in the right order saves hours of doubling back across Caustic Hallow.
Quick answer: Sail to Caustic Hallow from Moosewood, farm goblin quests and trick-or-treat first, finish Dullahan and Pumpkin Pete for their roses, then pay Frankenstein 100 Treats to run the rituals.
How to reach Caustic Hallow
Every part of FischFright 3 takes place on Caustic Hallow, an island that only exists during the event. Go to the Moosewood dock and board the green ghost ship moored on the east side. Talk to the Event NPC on deck and pick Set sail. A short cutscene plays, and you land on the island near the central fountain.
FischFright 3 completion checklist
Ten activities make up a full clear. Any NPC on the island that isn’t listed here only runs a side quest that pays out Treats.
| Questline | Where to find it | What it unlocks |
|---|---|---|
| Pumpkin King | Central fountain | Event introduction chain |
| Scarecrow’s Maze | Left side, huge maze | Secret maze vault |
| Witch’s Cauldron | Hut at map center | Hex rewards, Zombie Nessie Mask |
| Boglin | Normal house, left side | Boglin Rod |
| Webridden Cavern | Cave behind fountain | Webweaver Rod |
| Doomsekar | Behind Witch house, right | Doomsekar Rod |
| Dullahan | Hilltop mansion | Fabled Rose |
| Pumpkin Pete | Caustic Hallow | Gourdmore’s Rose |
| Rituals | Frankenstein, ritual grounds | Dutchman’s Rod, Omniscient Spinecaster, Nessies |
| Rave’s rocks | Glowing disco ball | Rock collection quest |
Start with goblin quests and Treats
Goblins are the closest thing FischFright 3 has to a bottleneck, so start working on them right away. Every 5 minutes, three goblins appear at one location from this pool: Moosewood, Roslit Bay, Forsaken Shores, Mushgrove, Scoria Reach, Ancient Isle, Lost Jungle, Terrapin, Snowcap Island, Skycrest, Sunstone, Castaway Cliffs and Everturn Forest. Their objectives include catching fish, dancing, chatting, guessing holidays and answering trivia. You have 15 minutes from the spawn to finish, and a goblin won’t despawn while its objective timer is still running.
Goblin rewards count toward several questlines at the same time:
- 4-star ingredients for the Pumpkin King and the Witch’s cauldron
- 3 Normal-or-higher quests for the Boglin questline
- Hand the Youngster Goblin 10 witch ingredients.
- The Boglin Skull
- A Dark Art Skull from an Expert goblin quest, needed for the rituals
Treats are the event currency, and the late game uses a lot of them. You earn Treats by selling event fish to the Frightful Merchant, finishing NPC quests, trick-or-treating, opening Frightful Caskets and redeeming codes. The event code is FischFright2026. The fixed Treats costs on a completion route are 1,000 for the Webweaver Rod, 5,000 for Davy’s Rose and 100 to start a ritual.
Caustic Hallow questline requirements
Pumpkin King
The Pumpkin King waits by the central fountain where you arrive. His chain has three parts:
- Catch and turn in 15 FischFright fish.
- Put 4-star goblin ingredients into the Witch’s cauldron.
- Set spooky markers near the docks at Moosewood; continue at Roslit Bay, then Snowcap, then Castaway Cliffs, and finally Forsaken Shores.
You’ll already be traveling to goblin spawns at most of those docks, so place the markers on the same trips.
Scarecrow’s Maze
The huge maze is on the left side of the map. Find the Conspicuous Scarecrow inside, then track down six scarecrows sitting at dead ends and finish each one’s task. Clearing all six moves you toward the secret maze vault, which holds free caskets and Treats.
- Dance for 15 seconds
- Hand over 5 Treats
- Bring 1 Decayed Dace
- Catch and return 1 Scarecrow Snapper
- Catch and return 1 Crypt Crab
- Find the missing straw arm, lying on the ground deep in the maze’s right-hand passages
Three of these tasks need specific fish. The Cobweb Cod belongs to the Webridden Cavern chain further down.
| Fish | Bait | Weather | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Decayed Dace | Licorice | Any | Any |
| Scarecrow Snapper | Taffy Pieces | Clear | Any |
| Crypt Crab | Black Licorice, Hallow-Pop | Any | Night |
| Cobweb Cod | Black Licorice, Candy Corn Cluster | Any | Any |
All four need the Autumn season. The Decayed Dace and Crypt Crab can also come from trick-or-treating.
Witch’s Cauldron and the Boglin Rod
Beatrix’s Cauldron sits in a hut at the center of the map. It accepts only 4-star ingredients from goblin quests. Feeding it moves you through the Hex Stages, which pay out bobbers, lanterns, furniture and titles. The Zombie Nessie Mask and the Eldritch Effigy rod skin also come from the cauldron.
The Boglin questline starts at an ordinary-looking house on the left side of the map. Take a right just before the bridge. Finish 3 Normal-or-higher goblin quests, give 10 witch ingredients to the Youngster Goblin, and collect the Boglin Skull, Boglin Twig and Boglin Wrap to earn the Boglin Rod.
Webridden Cavern (Webweaver Rod)
From the fountain, take the right-hand walkway all the way to the back and go into the cave. The spider NPC inside gives you three jobs. Trick-or-treat at all 16 houses on Caustic Hallow, catch 10 Webbed fish in the cavern, and catch 15 Cobweb Cod.
Once all three are done, the Webweaver Rod appears on the center pillar of the cavern, where you buy it for 1,000 Treats. If the rod is on the pillar, the questline is complete.
Using Bellinas Waraxe makes the Webweaver fishing steps go faster.
Doomsekar Rod
The glowing green NPC stands across the acid river, behind and to the right of the Witch’s house. Frightful Pools are temporary spots that show up across the ocean, and two of the three Doomsekar tasks happen in them.
- Catch 100 fish from Frightful Pools.
- Get 50 Perfect Catches consecutively in Frightful Pools. A Masterline rod paired with Luminous Larva bait makes the task much easier.
- Beat the spirit of a haunted house in the ghost minigame.
Trick-or-treating and haunted houses
Put the Candy Bucket on your hotbar and knock on doors. Treat pays out candy, Treats, candy fish and Relics. All 16 houses count toward the Webweaver chain, so going door to door covers that requirement as well.
Haunted houses have their address numbers glowing green. Knocking on one gives a 50/50 chance of starting the ghost minigame. Keep the targeting circle centered on the ghost until you catch it, and click if it doesn’t register on its own. One win clears the Doomsekar ghost requirement and also gives you the Ethereal Rose for the rituals.
Dullahan and Pumpkin Pete roses
Follow the path uphill to Dullahan’s mansion. He gives you a set of side quests, and one of them asks for the hidden Golden Neeko heirloom, which is lying on a bed inside the mansion. Finishing his questline gives you the Fabled Rose.
Pumpkin Pete wants you to find his friends, who are glowing pumpkins scattered around Caustic Hallow. Finishing his questline gives you Gourdmore’s Rose.
How to complete the FischFright 3 rituals
You need five items before Frankenstein will let you unseal the ritual hands:
| Ritual item | How to get it |
|---|---|
| Dark Art Skull | Expert goblin quest |
| Ethereal Rose | Haunted house ghost win |
| Davy’s Rose | Dutchman Merchant, 5,000 Treats |
| Fabled Rose | Dullahan questline |
| Gourdmore’s Rose | Pumpkin Pete questline |
The Dutchman Merchant is aboard the Flying Dutchman, which moves around Caustic Hallow. You’ll have to find the ship before you can buy Davy’s Rose.
After the last ritual, the Dutchman’s Rod and the Omniscient Spinecaster become available. The graveyard gravestones also unlock, letting you fish for the limited Zombie Nessie and Ghoul Nessie. If the gravestones are open, the ritual chain is finished.
Witch Kitty companion and alien skin
The Witch Kitty roams the map at random. Walk up to it and feed it 1 candy to tame it. One reliable place to look is up on the rock behind house 356, on the left. For the alien kitty skin, talk to Gleebs on the right side of the Witch hut and turn in 10 Gleebious FischFright fish.
Rave’s rock quest requirements
Rave stands next to the glowing disco ball. His quest is a straight collection task: 10 each of Grim, Vile, Doomed, Eldritch, Ominous, Webbed, Boglin, Doomsekar, Dutchman Cursed and Jacko Rocks, plus 1 Corn Rock. The Corn Rock is caught with Corn bait, which comes from candy bags.
The matching Frightful Pools are also where the event skulls come from:
| Skull | Source |
|---|---|
| Vile Skull | Vile Frightful Pool |
| Doomed Skull | Scarecrow quest or Vile Frightful Pool |
| Boglin Skull | Goblin quest |
| Grim Skull | Grim Frightful Pool |
| Eldritch Skull | Eldritch Frightful Pool |
FischFright 3 mask buffs
Masks increase Treats, Relic and Plush Nessie drops, so put one on before a long trick-or-treating or fishing session.
| Mask | Buffs | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Blobfish Mask | Relic +50%, Plush Nessie +50% | Dutchman Merchant, 10 Treats |
| Leviathan Mask | Treats +15%, Plush Nessie +15% | Dutchman Merchant, 1,500 Treats |
| Mossjaw Mask | Treats +25% | Dutchman Merchant, 1,500 Treats |
| Pumpkin Mask | Treats +25%, Plush Nessie +5% | — |
| Zombie Nessie Mask | Treats +25%, Plush Nessie +25%, Relic +25% | Witch’s Cauldron |
FischFright 3 rod stats
FischFright 3 adds six rods. Here are their stats:
| Rod | Lure Speed / Luck | Control / Resilience | Max KG / Extra |
|---|---|---|---|
| Eldritch Rod | 90% / 230% | 0.05 / 15% | infkg |
| Boglin Rod | 80% / 180% | 0.05 / 20% | 550,000kg, +10% progress |
| Webweaver Rod | 125% / 250% | 0.03 / 10% | infkg |
| Doomsekar Rod | 100% / 275% | 0.1 / -666% | infkg |
| Dutchman’s Rod | 100% / 180% | 0.1 / 10% | infkg |
| Omniscient Spinecaster | 120% / 300% | 0.05 / 30% | infkg, +50% progress |
Each rod also plays differently while reeling. The Eldritch Rod freezes and stuns, the Boglin Rod adds progress speed, the Webweaver Rod brings in a spider helper that traps fish in venom, and the Doomsekar Rod drops exploding fruit that pushes your progress forward. Watch out for the Doomsekar’s Resilience, which sits at -666%. The Omniscient Spinecaster has the highest Luck and the biggest progress bonus of the six, so it makes the final ritual worth the effort.
One more thing once everything above is done. Climb the high cliff above the giant tree in the middle of the island, and you’ll see floating purple runic symbols that match the ones on the Witch’s altar. Nobody has explained what they’re for yet, so keep them in mind as the event continues.
