How to Get Dutchman’s Rod in Fisch (October 2026) Full Ritual Guide

To get Dutchman’s Rod, you must complete the Dutchman’s Blessing Ritual at the Cemetery on Caustic Hallow during FischFright 3. You need to clear the Boglin Ritual first, awaken three Skeletal Hands, and offer five mutated fish, a Coffin, Dutchman’s Grasp and three skulls. Here’s the quick breakdown:

FischFright 3 went live October 17, 2026 (version 2.06.0.12) with no end date announced. Limited rods can vanish, so I’d start now.

Step-by-Step Ritual Chain

1. Meet Frankenstein at the Cemetery (-15104, 146, -9621) and pay 100 Treats.
2. Clear the rituals in order: Hexed, Scary Relic, Haunted, Jack-o-Moon, then Boglin.
3. Awaken three Skeletal Hands (see below).
4. Place the Lantern items.
5. Place the three skulls in the Skeletal Hands.
6. Finish Dutchman’s Blessing to receive the rod.

Other players can drop items into an active ritual, so bring a friend if you’re missing one fish.

Fish and Mutations Required

You also need a Coffin and Dutchman’s Grasp. The Dutchman Merchant on the Flying Dutchman sells the Grasp for 25,000 Treats, and stock is limited to one. Grim, Vile and Doomed skulls come from Frightful Pools, and the Scarecrow’s maze vault also drops a Doomed Skull.

How to Awaken the Skeletal Hands?

You need five items to awaken the hands:

Dutchman’s Rod Stats

• Lure Speed: 100%
• Luck: 180%
• Control: 0.1
• Resilience: 10%
• Max KG: Infinite

Only one guide lists these stats so far. Treat them as provisional until the wiki updates.

How Many Treats Do You Need?

Here’s the budget most guides skip. Dutchman’s Grasp (25,000), Davy’s Rose (5,000) and six rituals at 100 each add up to roughly 30,600 Treats, before the Roses and skulls from quests. Earn Treats from NPC quests (500–3,000 each), selling event fish to the Frightful Merchant, Frightful Caskets and codes. The code FischFright2026 gives 226 Treats.

Before using the rod, read our Fisch rods guide to see how its stats compare.

Common Mistakes

• Using a Shiny or Sparkling Mummy Mackerel. It won’t count.
• Selling rare mutated catches before checking the recipe.
• Starting a ritual without every item ready. Each attempt costs 100 Treats and runs on a timer.

After Dutchman’s Blessing, the chain continues with the Enhanced Boglin Ritual. See our FischFright 3 guide for what comes next.

Yes. It’s a FischFright 3 Halloween reward, so I’d get it before the event ends.

How many Hex Stages do I need?

Dutchman’s Blessing needs two Hex Stages, plus a completed Boglin Ritual.
