Quick answer
To get the fisch hammyshork rod, rescue a Hammerhead Shark during a shark event near The Arch, find Hammi inside the Shark Sanctuary cave, then catch and turn in all 13 required shark species.
The Hammyshork Rod in Fisch does not sit on a shop shelf. It comes from a hidden NPC called Hammi, tucked inside a cave you cannot just swim into without doing one specific thing first.
This walkthrough covers both parts of the quest: rescuing the shark that unlocks Hammi, then catching and handing in all 13 species he asks for.
Before you start

- Time needed 2 hours
- Works on Fisch v2.09 (Venue Encore Part 2) on Roblox, mobile, PC, and console

- Fisch updated to version 2.09 or later
- Player Level 250 or higher
- Patience for shark-event timing and the 13 hand-ins
Rescue the Hammerhead Shark and Find Hammi
You cannot walk into the Shark Sanctuary cold; a rescue event has to fire first.
Step 1: Wait for a Hammerhead Shark event
Shark Hunt events spawn randomly out in the Ocean. Keep fishing or sailing until a Great Hammerhead Shark event pool appears.
Tip: Don't fish the event pool yet; this step is about finding the event, not catching anything.
Step 2: Dive in and rescue the shark instead of catching it
When the event is active, jump into the water and interact with the Hammerhead Shark directly rather than hooking it with your rod.
This rescue action is what unlocks the Shark Sanctuary, not a catch.
Tip: Catching the shark with a rod does not count toward this step; you still need a separately caught Great Hammerhead Shark later for Hammi's collection.
Step 3: Travel to the Shark Sanctuary cave entrance
Head to The Arch and dive underwater toward Castaway Cliffs. Before you reach the broken ships, look under a pile of rubble to find the cave mouth.
Guides list slightly different GPS coordinates for the entrance: 1284.2, -9.3, -1676.2 or 1292.2, 23.6, -1711.4. Try the first set and adjust nearby if you don’t find the opening right away.
Tip: Swim straight through the obby inside the cave; the sanctuary opens up after that stretch.
Step 4: Swim to the central area and talk to Hammi
Hammi sits in the middle of the Shark Sanctuary. Interact with him to start the quest line, beginning with Emergency Recruiting.
If you reach this room without the rescue step completed, Hammi won’t offer the quest yet. Go back and rescue a Hammerhead Shark first.
Catch and Turn In the 13 Shark Species
Emergency Recruiting asks for 13 different sharks from across the map; bait, weather and season only shift the odds, they don’t gate the catch.
Step 1: Check Hammi's list of requested sharks
Open the quest from Hammi to see the full list, which includes the Great Hammerhead Shark, Great White Shark, Whale Shark, Megamouth Shark, Cookiecutter Shark, Gemstone Whale Shark, Ginsu Shark, Great Goldcursed Shark, Icebeard Shark, Maelstrom Shark, Mutated Shark, Nurse Shark, and Umbral Shark.
Step 2: Catch the Ocean-based sharks during their Shark Hunt events
- Great Hammerhead Shark: fish inside its event pool with Fish Head bait on a windy Spring day.
- Great White Shark: fish inside its event pool with Fish Head bait during clear Autumn weather.
- Whale Shark: fish in its event pool on a clear Summer or Autumn day with Shrimp bait.
- Megamouth Shark and Cookiecutter Shark: both come from Ocean event pools as well.
These conditions only raise your odds; a shark hooked under different weather still counts toward the quest.
Step 3: Catch the region-specific sharks
- Gemstone Whale Shark: Treasure Island.
- Ginsu Shark: Ancient Isle.
- Great Goldcursed Shark: Castaway Cliffs.
- Icebeard Shark: Glacial Grotto.
- Maelstrom Shark, Mutated Shark, Nurse Shark and Umbral Shark: scattered across the Ocean and other Fisch zones; keep casting in each area’s main fishing spots.
Tip: Keep a mental or written tally so you know which species you still need before you sell anything.
Step 4: Hold on to every requested catch
Store each of the 13 sharks in your inventory instead of selling them for cash. A sold shark has to be caught all over again for the hand-in.
Step 5: Return to Hammi and turn in each shark
Swim back to the Shark Sanctuary and hand over the sharks to Hammi one at a time until all 13 are delivered.
Step 6: Claim the Hammyshork Rod and equip it
Finishing the hand-in rewards the Hammyshork Rod along with 10 Shark Tokens, the Shark Sanctuary’s own currency. Open your Equipment Bag to equip the rod.
Two optional follow-up quests, Get Well Soon and Well, unlock additional rod modes and pay out 10 more Shark Tokens each.
Pro tips
- Level Get Well Soon mode first; its Level 30 upgrade raises Feeding Frenzy odds to 80 percent on catches.
- Shark Powahh gives +50% progress speed and +25% fish weight while you're fighting a Shark Hunt's main shark, so use it during events.
- Fishing a Fish Abundance has roughly a 40 percent chance to turn into a Shark Hunt, useful for restocking event sharks.
- Save screenshots of coordinates that work for you, since the cave entrance can be fiddly to relocate.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | What to do |
|---|---|
| You reach Hammi but get no quest prompt. | Go back and rescue a Hammerhead Shark during an active shark event first; simply finding the sanctuary does not satisfy the starting condition. |
| A shark you caught with your rod isn't counting as the rescue. | The rescue has to be the interact-and-save action during the event, not a rod catch; you'll still need a separately caught Great Hammerhead Shark for Hammi's collection later. |
| You sold a shark you needed for the hand-in. | Catch another one of that species; there's no way to buy it back, so hold onto requested sharks until you've delivered them all. |
Frequently asked questions
What level do I need to start the Hammi quest?
The quest opens at player Level 250 and does not cost any C$ to begin.
Does catching a shark with bait and weather matched to the table guarantee a catch?
No. Those conditions only improve your odds; a shark caught outside the listed bait, weather or season still counts toward the quest.
Where exactly is the Shark Sanctuary cave entrance?
It’s near The Arch, underwater toward Castaway Cliffs, hidden under rubble before the broken ships. Guides list slightly different coordinates, so try 1284.2, -9.3, -1676.2 first and search nearby if that doesn’t line up.
What do Shark Tokens do?
Shark Tokens are a currency for the Shark Sanctuary merchant, earned 10 at a time from the main quest and its two optional follow-ups.
Once Hammi hands over the rod, check his two optional quests for extra Shark Tokens and rod modes before moving on to other Venue Encore content.
