Understanding the FischFright 2025 Event
Before diving into the specifics, it’s crucial to understand that the Hexed Skeletal Nessie and Necrotic Rod are exclusive to the FischFright 2025 event, which runs from October 18th to November 1st, 2026. This limited-time Halloween event introduces special mechanics, locations, and items that won’t be available after the event concludes.
The event features multiple components:
- Frightful Pools (Red, Orange, Green, Blue, Purple)
- Nessie’s Catacomb (unlockable area)
- Special quests with unique rewards
- Event-exclusive fish and mutations
Method 1: Direct Fishing for Hexed Skeletal Nessie
Step 1: Unlock Nessie’s Catacomb
Before you can even attempt to catch the Hexed Skeletal Nessie, you need access to Nessie’s Catacomb. Here’s how to unlock it:
- Catch a Baby Nessie: This rare fish can be found in various fishing spots during the FischFright event. Look for it in areas with high fish activity.
- Collect All Five Frightful Skulls: You’ll need one skull from each colored Frightful Pool:
- Red Frightful Skull: Fish in Red Frightful Pools (0.29% chance)
- Orange Frightful Skull: Fish in Orange Frightful Pools
- Green Frightful Skull: Fish in Green Frightful Pools
- Blue Frightful Skull: Fish in Blue Frightful Pools
- Purple Frightful Skull: Fish in Purple Frightful Pools
- Visit at Night: Head to the Cemetery area in Crook’s Hallow during nighttime.
- Unlock the Door: Hold out your Baby Nessie near the Nessie Statue to reveal the secret entrance.
- Place the Skulls: Inside the catacomb, place all five Frightful Skulls on their respective pedestals to fully unlock the area.
Step 2: Optimal Fishing Conditions for Skeletal Nessie
Once inside Nessie’s Catacomb, you’ll need the right conditions to catch a regular Skeletal Nessie first:
| Factor | Optimal Condition | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Season | Autumn | Higher spawn rate during Autumn |
| Bait | Gummy Fish | Significantly increases catch rate |
| Time | Any time of day | No time restrictions |
| Weather | Any weather | No weather restrictions |
| Recommended Rods | High Luck rods | Cerulean Fang, Evil Pitchfork, Polaris Serenade |
Pro Tip: Use the No-Life Rod if you have it, as it gives a 50% chance for the Hexed mutation, which is exactly what you need!
Step 3: Obtaining the Hexed Mutation
This is where most players struggle. You need to turn your regular Skeletal Nessie into a Hexed Skeletal Nessie. Here are three methods:
Method A: No-Life Rod (Recommended)
- Success Rate: 50%
- Requirements: Own the No-Life Rod
- Process: Simply use the No-Life Rod when fishing for Skeletal Nessie
- Advantage: Highest success rate by far
Method B: Random Mutation
- Success Rate: 0.47%
- Requirements: None specific
- Process: Fish anywhere with any rod
- Advantage: No special equipment needed
- Disadvantage: Extremely low chance
Method C: Appraisal Mutation
- Success Rate: 0.47%
- Requirements: Catch a regular Skeletal Nessie first
- Process: Use the appraisal system on your caught Skeletal Nessie
- Advantage: Targeted approach
- Disadvantage: Still very low chance
Method 2: Alternative Quest-Based Approach
If direct fishing proves too challenging, there’s an alternative method involving the event’s quest system:
Step 1: Complete Lilith’s Quest
- Quest: “Bring a Baby Nessie to Lilith”
- Reward: 1,000 Candy
- Location: Find Lilith in the FischFright event area
- Strategy: Focus on catching Baby Nessie first, as it’s needed for both this quest and unlocking Nessie’s Catacomb
Step 2: Complete Silas’s Quest
- Quest: “Bring a Skeletal Nessie to Silas”
- Reward: 1,500 Candy
- Location: Find Silas in the FischFright event area
- Strategy: Use the optimal conditions mentioned above to catch a regular Skeletal Nessie
Step 3: Use Event Rewards
The candy earned from these quests can be used to purchase items from the Flying Dutchman that appears every 10 minutes, including:
- Frightful Relic (2,000 Candy): Gives Frightful enchant
- Spooky Relic (2,000 Candy): Gives Spooky enchant

Common Mistakes to Avoid
1. Ignoring Event Timing

2. Wrong Bait Usage
Using the wrong bait can drastically reduce your chances. Always use Gummy Fish for Skeletal Nessie and Magnet for Sanguine Bones.
3. Not Unlocking Nessie’s Catacomb Early
Some players focus solely on fishing without unlocking the catacomb first, missing out on the best fishing spot for Skeletal Nessie.
4. Wasting Resources
Don’t use expensive rods or bait in suboptimal conditions. Wait for the right season, weather, and time combinations.
5. Forgetting Mutation Requirements
Remember that you need specific mutations (Hexed, Sanguine) for the components. Regular versions won’t work for crafting.
