The Hex route in Fisch's FischFright event runs through Beatrix's cauldron on Caustic Hallow, the event island. You earn Witch's Ingredients from goblin challenges across the main sea and offer them to the cauldron, which adds Hex Energy. Your energy total unlocks rewards across five Hex Stages, and the later stages also require a set Bestiary completion.

How to Reach Beatrix's Cauldron on Caustic Hallow
Caustic Hallow is reached by boat from Moosewood, and the trip starts at the green-glowing Flying Dutchman. Follow these steps:
- Travel south from Moosewood to the green-glowing Flying Dutchman.
- Board the ship and speak to the captain.
- Select "Set Sail!" to travel to Caustic Hallow.
- On the island, turn left from the fountain and walk toward Beatrix, who stands under the tree.
Every ingredient is offered at this cauldron, so this is the trip you'll repeat most. Submitting several ingredients in one visit cuts down on the boat rides, so it's worth gathering a batch before you return.

Where Witch's Ingredients Come From: Goblin Challenges
Witch's Ingredients come from goblins that spawn roughly every five minutes on islands across the main sea, such as Moosewood, Roslit Bay and Snowcap. A notification names the island when a goblin appears, so you can head straight there. Talk to the goblin to see its challenge, which can be catching a fish, dancing, using the chat or guessing a holiday.
Each challenge has a 15-minute timer, so you need to finish inside that window. When you complete one, collect the Witch's Ingredient and carry it back to Beatrix's cauldron.
The Youngster Goblin, found near House 506, runs the Boglin Branch quest. That quest is separate from Beatrix and her cauldron, so don't mix it up with the roaming goblin challenges.

How Witch's Ingredients Add Hex Energy
Each Witch's Ingredient adds a fixed amount of Hex Energy based on its type. Your total builds across every offer, so you can offer ingredients in any order.
| Witch's Ingredient | Hex Energy |
|---|---|
| Dark Art Skull | 5 |
| Bat Wing | 4 |
| Raven Feather | 4 |
| Giant Mushroom | 3 |
| Spider Eye | 3 |
| Crushed Bone | 2 |
| Strange Root | 2 |
| Dirty Candy Corn | 1 |
To offer them, walk up to the cauldron and choose "Offer Ingredient" to send one at a time, or "Offer All Ingredients" to send your whole eligible batch at once. Your energy carries over between trips, so you can fill the cauldron across several visits. Two Dark Art Skulls bring you to 10 Hex Energy, the same as ten Dirty Candy Corn, so the stronger ingredients get you to each reward in fewer offers.
Hex Stage Bestiary Gates and the Eldritch Rod
Stage I opens on Hex Energy alone, so its five rewards need no Bestiary progress. The Eldritch Rod at 10 Hex Energy is the only rod on the track, and it appears in your Fishing Rods inventory without a Treats purchase.
From Stage II on, each stage needs both its Hex Energy number and its Bestiary completion. The gate rises at every stage, from 20% at Stage II to 80% at Stage V, and Stage V begins at 200 Hex Energy. A reward in a later stage waits until both conditions are met, so reaching the energy number alone isn't enough.
The gate ties your progress to the event's catches as well as your ingredients. If you have the energy but your Bestiary is short, catching more of the unique Halloween entries opens the way. Your energy total keeps counting through every stage, so waiting on a gate doesn't cost you progress.
Bonus Rolls After 750 Hex Energy
The fixed track doesn't end at 750. The Frightful Broom boat at 750 is followed by one more fixed reward, the Broom title at 1,000. Past 750, every additional 50 Hex Energy also earns one random reward, drawn from this list:
| Reward | Type | Chance per Roll |
|---|---|---|
| Eldritch Relic | Fish | 9.09% |
| Doomed Relic | Fish | 15.15% |
| Vile Relic | Fish | 15.15% |
| Grim Relic | Fish | 15.15% |
| Sour Jelly Candy x25 | Bait | 11.36% |
| Taffy Pieces x25 | Bait | 11.36% |
| Black Licorice x25 | Bait | 11.36% |
| Licorice x25 | Bait | 11.36% |
Each roll is random, so the Eldritch Relic at 9.09% is a long shot on any single roll.
Ingredient Milestone Rewards and the Witch's Broom at 250
The cauldron also keeps a separate count of how many ingredients you've submitted in total. Each eligible ingredient counts once, however much Hex Energy it gives, so a Dirty Candy Corn counts the same as a Dark Art Skull here. Every submitted ingredient also pays 500 C$ and 25–50 Treats.
| Ingredients Submitted | Reward |
|---|---|
| 1 | Eyeball Bobber |
| 3 | Coffin Lantern |
| 5 | Gravestone Bobber |
| 8 | Title |
| 10 | Spooky Rod |
| 12 | Ghost Bobber |
| 15 | Frightful Relic x1 and Title |
| 20 | Title |
| 25 | Spooky Relic x1 and Title |
| 30 | Eerie Relic x1 and Title |
| 40 | Spider Bobber |
| 45 | Title |
| 55 | Dutchman's Spirit Boat |
| 65 | Title |
| 75 | Wisp Flame Lantern |
| 100 | Blazed Handle |
| 175 | Reborn Flying Dutchman |
| 250 | Witch's Broom |
The Witch's Broom at 250 ingredients is a different reward from the Frightful Broom boat at 750 Hex Energy. One counts how many ingredients you've submitted and the other counts your Hex Energy, so each has its own finish line.
