To get the Oppressor Rod in Fisch, complete Tormentor’s quests, then finish an extra quest to remove its restriction. The Black Fairy Rod comes from Draven’s five-part questline, which combines mutated fish catches with hidden objects. Both start at the Underground Music Venue, but you’ll need different equipment for each path.
| Rod | Quest giver | Unlock requirements | Final payment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oppressor | Tormentor, inside a hidden auditorium | Three quests for the restricted rod, followed by Impermanent Distress | 70,000,000 C$ |
| Black Fairy | Draven, inside the Underground Music Venue | Five quest stages, ending with The Great Blade | 53,000,000 C$ |
Set aside 123,000,000 C$ for both final payments, plus money for equipment, bait, and other expenses.
How to Reach the Underground Music Venue in Fisch
The Underground Music Venue is beneath Crystal Cove, inside The Depths. If you haven’t opened the entrance, bring a Chaotic Enchant Relic.
- Enter a Strange Whirlpool to reach Vertigo.
- Complete Vertigo’s bestiary and use a Depths Key to enter The Depths.
- Travel through The Depths to Crystal Cove at X: 1302, Y: -701, Z: 1604.
- Place the Chaotic Enchant Relic on the pedestal.
- Go behind the pedestal, turn left, and drop into the opening to enter the venue.
Once inside, you can speak to Draven for Black Fairy. Reaching Tormentor takes another step.
How to Find Tormentor and Start the Oppressor Rod Quest
Before approaching Tormentor, unlock the Dusk title by completing Duskwire’s mastery requirement: 200 perfect catches with the Duskwire Rod. Equip the title, then prepare your Duskwire Rod and a Tropical Squall Totem.
To reach his hidden auditorium:
- Find Ken Carson on the venue’s stage.
- Locate the displayed Duskwire Rod to his left.
- Activate your Tropical Squall Totem and equip your own Duskwire Rod.
- Click the displayed rod to teleport into the auditorium.
- Speak to Tormentor with Dusk equipped.
The displayed rod needs Tropical Squall weather to work. Arriving at the correct spot without that weather won’t open the route.
Complete Tormentor’s Three Oppressor Rod Quests
Tormentor’s quests require specific mutations—special variants of ordinary catches. Match the full name of each requested item, including attributes such as Shiny or Sparkling.
Chaotic Resurgence
The opening quest requires seven items in total:
| Required item | Equipment and useful conditions |
|---|---|
| 2 Shiny Chaotic Catfish | Duskwire Rod with Blessed or Invincible; Worm bait during a foggy night |
| 1 Mourned Wyvern | Tidemourner Rod with Long; Truffle Worm bait |
| 3 Darkened Enchant Relics | Depthseeker Rod with the Relic Construct companion |
| 1 Chaotic Enchant Relic | Duskwire Rod with the Relic Construct companion |
Return to Tormentor when you have the complete set to unlock the second quest.
Road of Revenant Carcasses
The second quest describes its catches through riddles. These are the three answers and suggested setups:
| Required catch | Equipment |
|---|---|
| Monstrous Legionnaire Lamprey | Cusk Purger Rod |
| Titanium Leviathan | Titanium Rod with Fractured or Tryhard |
| Sparkling Distraught Revenant Eel | Dreambreaker Rod with Blessed or Glittered |
Complete the requests and speak to Tormentor again to continue.
Divergent Perceptions
The third quest needs another three catches:
| Required catch | Equipment and location |
|---|---|
| Distraught Veiled Charybdis | Dreambreaker Rod with Fractured or Cryogenic; Luminous Larva bait |
| Squalled String | Abaia’s Spite Rod with Garbage bait in Desolate Deep |
| Fallen Scylla | Fallen Rod with Shark Head bait |
Hand these in to receive the restricted Oppressor Rod. You still need to finish its follow-up quest before removing the restriction.
How to Unrestrict the Oppressor Rod in Fisch
After receiving Oppressor, complete Impermanent Distress. This quest combines catches with the rod’s projectile mechanic:
- Catch 1 Fallen Skolopendra.
- Catch 1 Olympian Devil with Duskwire, with no companion equipped.
- Catch 35 Legendary or Mythical fish with the Oppressed mutation in Crystal Cove.
- Parry 75 projectiles.
Unequip your companion before attempting the Olympian Devil objective. For the Crystal Cove task, both the fish’s rarity and its Oppressed mutation must match the requirement.
Once every objective is complete, return to Tormentor and pay the final fee to remove Oppressor’s restriction.
How to Complete the Black Fairy Rod Quests in Fisch
Speak to Draven inside the Underground Music Venue and choose “I’ll help you find it.” His questline has five stages. Work through them in order, keeping every requested mutation and attribute intact.
Where Roots Dream
The first stage has six answers: five fishing items and one object collected from a shipwreck.
| Required item | Where and how to get it |
|---|---|
| Translucent Rotwood Perch | Everturn Forest with Coral bait; use a Ghastly-enchanted rod or Spiritbinder for Translucent |
| Mossy Ancient Wood | Fish around Sunstone Island using Elder Mossripper |
| Rotting Gem Blobfish | Treasure Island using Splitbranch Twig with Golden Shrimp bait |
| Shiny Depths Key | Fish at Vertigo’s Dip during daytime, then obtain the Shiny attribute |
| Ocean’s Ruin Rotbloom | Rotbloom Hunt pool in Toxic Grove during Autumn using Thalassar’s Ruin; Luminous Larva or Thorn Cluster bait |
| Wooden Plank | Search the sunken ship east of Castaway Cliffs |
For the plank, look for the wreck marked by a fishbone flag. Its coordinates are X: 883.1, Y: 31.8, Z: -1928.2.
Voices From Afar
The second stage requires:
- Decayed Abyssal Slickhead
- Bioluminescent Abyssal Devourer
- Crimson Abyssal Bearded Seadevil
- Sparkling Abyssacuda
- Shiny Shady Ancient Megalodon
The object riddle points to a Radio on the Black Market table in Shady Bazaar.
Lights For The Lost
For the third stage, obtain:
- Shiny Glowy Voidglow Ghostfish
- Sparkling Heavenly Obsidian Swordfish
- Sunlit Midnight Axolotl
- Jackpot Bigfin Squid
- Crystalline Monstrous Cusk
Then find the Light beside The Depths Angler. Pay attention to catches with multiple attributes: the Voidglow Ghostfish needs both Shiny and Glowy, while the Obsidian Swordfish needs Sparkling and Heavenly.
A Letter Left Behind
The fourth stage asks for three catches:
- Moon-Kissed Harmonic Dove
- Plagued Fairy Penguin
- Blighted Wyvern
Its final clue leads to The Bunker at Birch Cay. Search among the books inside to find the Letter.
The Great Blade
The last stage combines three catches with a hidden blade:
- Catch a Sanguine Skolopendra.
- Catch a Veiled Charybdis using the Flimsy Rod.
- Catch an Oscar Rusty Bolt.
- Find the Great Blade behind the Olympian Godbreaker Rod, inside the Olympian Fissure Portal.
- Make the final payment.
The Flimsy Rod requirement is part of the objective, so using another rod for that Veiled Charybdis won’t satisfy it. After completing the stage and paying, follow the foggy path to collect the Black Fairy Rod.
