How to Unlock Dutchman’s Rod in Fisch
To unlock Dutchman’s Rod in Fisch, you will have to complete the Dutchman’s Blessing ritual. Head to the graveyard area and talk to the Frankenstein NPC to begin. Here, he will tell you to complete all the previous rituals and awaken three skeletal hands.
Reach Hex Stage III
First, you need to reach Hex Stage III. You need 30 Hex energy and 40% bestiary completion to unlock it. You can do so by completing goblin quests and depositing the Witch’s ingredients for FischFright Hex rewards inside the Cauldron located at Caustic Hallow.
Keep completing Goblin quests and submitting ingredients until you reach Hex Stage III.

Head to the graveyard area in Caustic Hallow and interact with the Frankenstein NPC. Before you can perform the Dutchman’s Blessing Ritual, you need to complete these five rituals:
- Hexing Ritual
- Scary Relic Ritual
- Haunted Ritual
- Jack-o-Moon Ritual
- Boglin Ritual
Start the Dutchman’s Blessing Ritual
Once you have done the Boglin Ritual, you will have to complete the Dutchman’s Blessing Ritual. It requires you to collect these items:
| Required Offering | Type | How to Get It |
|---|---|---|
| Doomed Jagged Bone | Mutated fish | Catch a Jagged Bone using the Doomed FischFright 3 Relic. |
| Vile Poltergeist Perch | Mutated fish | Catch a Poltergeist Perch using the Vile Relic. |
| Grim Skeleton Sturgeon | Mutated fish | Catch a Skeleton Sturgeon using the Grim Relic. |

Fisch Dutchman’s Rod Passive and Ability
Unlike other rods, this one does not come with a fancy UI, but it comes with the new Dutchman’s Curse mutation that increases the sell value of the fish by nine times.
Alongside the Fisch mutations, the rod has a chance to collect nearby fish within 32 studs as ammo, storing up to five fish. While fishing, you can activate Spectral Barrage using the Special Action Keybind to launch one fish, which prevents fish from entering the outer part of the minigame and grants additional progress, with bonuses for Dutchman’s Curse.
That was everything you needed to unlock the Dutchman’s Rod in Fisch. Reach Hex Stage III by farming goblin quests and perform the rituals to complete the FischFright update.
To unlock the Dutchman’s Rod, you need to reach Hex Stage III and complete the Dutchman’s Blessing Ritual by submitting all the items.
