The highly anticipated FischFright event for 2025 has officially commenced on the vibrant new island known as Crook’s Hallow. This year’s festivities return with an abundance of thrilling experiences and unique collectibles. A key figure in this event is the fabled Headless Horseman, who offers an array of quests that players can engage with. This guide will provide you with essential details on completing the Headless Horseman questline in order to unlock the exclusive Jack-o-Blazer Rod.
Completing the Headless Horseman Quests: FischFright Update Guide
The Headless Horseman serves as one of the primary quest givers in the latest update. The FischFright event runs until November 1, 2025, granting players ample opportunity to finish the quests and secure the coveted rod.
The questline initiated by the Headless Horseman is titled “Jack-o-Blazers, ”comprising five distinct tasks detailed below:
1. Locate a Frightful Jack-O-Lantern
To find the Frightful Jack-o-Lantern, players must fish in the waters surrounding Crook’s Hallow. However, bear in mind that its drop rate is notably low. You’ll need to have the Frightful mutation in Fisch for the creature. Utilize the Frightful Relic to enchant your rod, or alternatively, catch the item first and have it appraised to acquire the Frightful Jack-o-Lantern.
2. Gather 5 Wisps
Wisps can be found randomly at the graveyard area adjacent to the Silas NPC, positioned behind the Headless Horseman. Follow the path to the left of the Horseman where a large Nessie statue resides, surrounded by gravestones where the Wisps appear. When a gravestone highlights blue, approach it, press the ‘E’ key, and collect the Wisp.
3. Discover a Haunted Candle
You will need to head to the Mansion to locate the Haunted Candle. Make sure to finish the first two tasks before proceeding to this step.
4. Seek a Blazed Handle
The Blazed Handle is earned by submitting ingredients to the Witch’s Cauldron. Stay alert for notifications indicating when a goblin spawns in the main game world. Once you arrive at the same island, locate the goblin, interact with it, complete the challenge, and you will receive a Witch’s ingredient. Submit this at the Cauldron to obtain various FischFright rewards, including a chance at the Burning Handle.
5. Accumulate 5000 Candy
To earn Candy during the FischFright event, consider several simple strategies, such as trick-or-treating, completing quests from NPCs, submitting ingredients to the Witch’s Cauldron, and opening Frightful Crates. While gathering Candy, check in with the Headless Horseman to track your progress towards the required amount.
Upon successful completion of all the quests associated with the Headless Horseman, you will be rewarded with the Jack-o-Blazer Rod.
Stats of the Jack-O-Blazer Rod
While the complete stats for the Jack-o-Blazer Rod have yet to be fully revealed, it is known to be a late-game rod, requiring players to complete five challenging quests to obtain it. The rod features two beneficial passive mutations:
- Wicked Mutation: Offers a 20% chance to activate when fishing, multiplying fish value by 6.6x.
- Jack’s Curse: A rare 2% chance of activation, significantly increasing fish value by 16.6x.
With strategic enchantments, the Jack-o-Blazer could potentially become one of the top rods in the game.
