Quick answer
To get the fisch Fangsplitter Rod, talk to Echo at the Underground Music Venue and complete his five quests: 7 Perfect Rubber Ducky catches, a Withered Colossal Squid, 7 in-game day cycles, a Distraught Enchant Relic, and 7 Perfect Megalodon catches.
The Fangsplitter Rod is one of the headline rewards from Fisch’s Venue Encore Part 2 update, and it comes with 222% Lure Speed, 222% Luck, and no weight cap. Getting it means working through an NPC named Echo and five separate objectives that mix rare mutations, perfect catches, and plain old patience.
This walkthrough breaks down each of Echo’s five tasks in order, tells you which rod and bait to bring, and flags the parts that take the longest. If you want the full background on the rod’s stats and where Echo fits into the update, the companion Fangsplitter Rod guide covers that in more detail.
Before you start
- Difficulty Moderate
- Time needed 3 hours
- Works on Fisch v2.09 (Venue Encore Part 2), PC, mobile, and console
What you'll need
- Roblox account with Fisch updated to version 2.09
- A Nocturnal Rod (15,000C$ from Synth's Shop in Vertigo)
- A Decayed Rod for the Withered mutation
- High-resilience bait such as Coral or Deep Coral
- Time for 7 in-game day-night cycles, or a Sundial totem
Important
- The Fangsplitter Rod is tied to the Venue Pt. 2 event and may become unobtainable once the event ends.
- Two of Echo's five objectives require the exact Nocturnal Rod, so a higher-tier rod will not satisfy those steps.
Find Echo and Start the Questline
Echo’s questline is the gateway to the Fangsplitter Rod, so this is where every run begins.
Step 1: Travel to the Underground Music Venue
Head to Crystal Cove and find the entrance hidden behind the waterfall. Echo stands in front of the stage’s right side, near GPS coordinates 2056, -644, 2479.
Tip: Echo has red and brown hair with a set of dog ears, so he is easy to spot once you are inside.
Step 2: Talk to Echo and start the quest
Interact with Echo and choose the dialogue option I’ll prove it. This locks in the Fangsplitter Rod questline and hands you the first objective.
Complete Echo's Five Quests in Order
Each quest unlocks the next, so work through them one at a time rather than jumping ahead.
Step 1: Perfect catch 7 Rubber Duckies
Buy the Nocturnal Rod for 15,000C$ from Synth’s Shop inside Vertigo, then fish at Vertigo’s Dip. You need 7 Perfect Catches specifically, so a normal catch does not count toward the total.
Pair the rod with high-resilience bait like Coral or Deep Coral to keep the catch bar steady, and avoid glitch potions, which interfere with getting a true Perfect Catch.
Tip: Consecutive Perfect Catches build an active bat swarm that speeds up your progress, so keep your streak alive.
Step 2: Catch a Shiny or Sparkling Withered Colossal Squid
Use a Decayed Rod, which has about a 10 percent chance to apply the Withered mutation, and hunt Colossal Squid in the Ocean or Deep Ocean. Withered is not something you can get through appraising, so the catch itself has to land the mutation.
Return the squid to Echo once you land a Shiny or Sparkling Withered copy.
Tip: Expect several attempts here since the mutation is chance-based.
Step 3: Wait out 7 full day-night cycles
Stay logged in and let time pass normally: Day, Night, Day, repeating until you hit 7 full cycles. Sundial totems are allowed and can speed this up if you have one.
Step 4: Catch a Shiny or Sparkling Distraught Enchant Relic
This objective, sometimes labeled Wingripper Pt.2, asks for a Shiny or Sparkling Distraught Enchant Relic. A Dreambreaker-style rod with Bless and Glitter enchants reportedly helps, though exact requirements vary by source, so experiment with what you have rather than assuming one rod is mandatory.
Step 5: Perfect catch 7 Megalodons with the Nocturnal Rod
Make sure your Nocturnal Rod is weight-boosted enough to handle a Megalodon before you start reeling. You then need to hold the fish inside the shrinking catch bar through its rampage attacks, landing 7 Perfect Catches in total.
Try-Hard Worm bait or a Piercing enchantment slows the bar down, which makes each Perfect Catch easier to secure.
Tip: A stronger rod will not substitute here: this quest and the Rubber Ducky quest both require the Nocturnal Rod specifically.
Step 6: Return to Echo for the Fangsplitter Rod
Once all five objectives are marked complete, head back to Echo at the Underground Music Venue. He hands over the Fangsplitter Rod along with a custom Megalodon Tooth Bobber.
Pro tips
- Keep a Perfect Catch streak going whenever possible, since the bat swarm mechanic speeds up quest progress.
- Stock up on Coral or Deep Coral bait before starting the Rubber Ducky quest so you are not interrupted mid-streak.
- Treat the day-cycle quest as a background task and run other quests or errands while it ticks down.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | What to do |
|---|---|
| Perfect Catches on Rubber Duckies are not registering. | Check that you are not using a glitch potion, since these interfere with getting a true Perfect Catch, and switch to high-resilience bait like Coral or Deep Coral. |
| The Megalodon keeps breaking free during its rampage. | Use Try-Hard Worm bait or a Piercing enchantment to slow the shrinking catch bar, giving you more room to hold the fish steady. |
| The Withered or Distraught mutation is not appearing after many attempts. | Keep fishing with the Decayed Rod or the relevant gear, since the mutation is chance-based and can take a long run of tries before it lands. |
Frequently asked questions
Do I need the Nocturnal Rod for every quest?
No, only for the Rubber Ducky quest and the Megalodon quest. The squid and relic quests rely on different gear, such as a Decayed Rod or a Dreambreaker-style rod.
Can I speed up the 7 day-cycle quest?
Yes, Sundial totems are allowed and can shorten the wait, but you still need to accumulate the full 7 cycles before the quest completes.
Is the Fangsplitter Rod permanent once I get it?
Once earned it stays in your inventory, but the quest itself is tied to the limited-time Venue Encore Part 2 event and may not be obtainable after the event ends.
What does the Fangsplitter Rod actually do?
It carries 222% Lure Speed, 222% Luck, 0.22 Control, 22% Resilience, and no weight cap, making it useful well beyond the quest itself.
Echo’s five quests take time more than skill, so budget a few sessions for the day-cycle wait and the mutation grinding. Once you are done with the Fangsplitter Rod, Hammi’s shark questline for the Rod is a solid next goal from the same update, and the Complete guide walks through it step by step.
