The Requies mutation in Fisch is a top-tier mutation that multiplies a fish’s sell value by 9.8× and turns it dark green. You can’t roll it at the Appraiser or through random mutation chances — the only way to get a Requies fish is with the Requiem Rod. Every catch with this Stage 9 rod has a 20% chance to come out Husk, and each Husk catch automatically triggers Arcane Finality, granting you a guaranteed Requies duplicate that weighs 1.6× more than the original.
Here’s the short version: craft the Requiem Rod at the Ancient Archives, fish with it until you land Husk catches, and collect the Requies duplicates. Below, I break down the exact rod requirements, where each crafting material comes from, and the mastery quests that push your odds from 20% to 25%.

Requies is one of the most profitable mutations in Fisch. A Requies fish sells for 9.8× its base value, and the dark green coloring makes it easy to spot the moment it hits your inventory. It also carries a +2 mutation priority, so it overrides lower-value mutations on the same catch.
What makes Requies special is how it arrives. Unlike roll-based mutations such as Midas, Requies is tied entirely to the Requiem Rod’s signature passive, Arcane Finality:
In practice, that means roughly one in every five catches with the Requiem Rod produces a Requies fish worth 9.8× base value. Catch a 100 kg fish, and you keep a 40 kg Husk copy plus a 160 kg Requies copy — both sellable.
The Requiem Rod is an endgame Stage 9 rod, so expect a serious grind before the Requies farm even starts. To craft it at the anvil inside the Ancient Archives on Ancient Isle, you need:
Here’s where every material comes from:
| Material | How to Get |
|---|---|
| Requis Essence ×5 | Dripstone Collapse events in Tidefall (5% drop per collapse). They spawn naturally via Disturbance, or you can force one with a Dripstone Collapse Totem |
| Requiem Core ×1 | Final reward of the Magical Diver’s questline at the Sunken Reliquary |
| Awakened Omnithal ×1 | Rare catch from the Omnithal hunt in Tidefall (you need a second one for the quest below) |
| Fossilized Plesiosaur ×1 | Exotic Plesiosaur from the Plesiosaur Hunt in Tidefall, carrying the Fossilized mutation |
The Magical Diver chain at the Sunken Reliquary (GPS 2996, -1101, -40) takes three quests: bring him a Fallen Flying Gurnard (level 100+), an Omnithal (level 500+), and an Awakened Omnithal (level 1000+). The third quest pays out the Requiem Core you need for the craft.
Once the Requiem Rod is equipped, nothing needs activating — the passive works on every single cast:
The rod is built for this loop, too. With 277% Luck, 120% Lure Speed, 63% Resilience, and a 1,500,000 kg weight cap, few fish will put up a real fight. One warning from my own fishing sessions: reel with steady inputs, because holding and releasing too fast snaps the line on this rod.
9.8×. A Requies fish sells for nearly ten times its base value, making it one of the strongest mutations in the game right now.
Every Requiem Rod catch has a 20% chance to be Husk, and every Husk catch guarantees a Requies duplicate — so roughly one Requies fish per five catches, or one per four once the Mastery Enhancement is active.
No. Requies is unappraisable, so the Appraiser can never add it to a fish. The only source is the Requiem Rod’s Arcane Finality passive.
Husk cuts a fish’s sell value to 0.14× and gives it a light brown, translucent look. It looks bad, but it’s the trigger for the far more valuable Requies duplicate.
It’s close. Requies’ 9.8× multiplier beats most mutations in the game, though a few rods — like the Black Fairy Rod’s Purgatorial mutation at 11.2× — still edge it out.
