Method 1: Trick-or-Treating (Primary Method)

The most reliable way to get a Baby Nessie is through trick-or-treating during the FischFright event:

1. Obtain a Candy Bucket: You can get this from various event NPCs or purchase it from the Flying Dutchman
2. Find Houses in Crook’s Hollow: The event area is filled with decorated houses
3. Interact with House Doors: Select the “Trick-or-Treat” option

Pro Tips:

• Wear the Megalodon Mask to increase candy obtained by 20%
• The Scylla Mask increases “Treat” chance by 20%
• There’s a 10-minute cooldown per house, so rotate between multiple houses
• Focus on houses during the night for better results

Method 2: Purchase from Other Players

If you’re having trouble with RNG, consider:

• Trading with other players who have extra Baby Nessies
• Checking the game’s trading hub or marketplace
• Offering valuable fish or items in exchange

How to Access Nessie’s Catacomb in 2025?

Once you have a Baby Nessie, you’ll need to access Nessie’s Catacomb. This requires both the Baby Nessie and five different colored Frightful Skulls.

Step 1: Unlock the Catacomb Entrance

1. Go to Crook’s Hollow Island: This is the main event area for FischFright 2025
2. Locate the Nessie Statue: It’s in the graveyard area
3. Wait for Nighttime: The catacomb entrance only works at night
4. Use the Baby Nessie: Hold it out at the statue to unlock the entrance

Step 2: Collect Frightful Skulls

You need five different colored Frightful Skulls to place on the pedestals inside the catacomb:

Skull Color	How to Obtain	Spawn Time	Difficulty
Green	Green Frightful Pool	Every 45 minutes	Medium
Red	Red Frightful Pool	Every 45 minutes	Hard
Orange	Orange Frightful Pool	Every 45 minutes	Medium
Blue	Blue Frightful Pool	Every 45 minutes	Medium
Purple	Purple Frightful Pool	Every 45 minutes	Medium

Finding Frightful Pools

Frightful Pools spawn randomly across the First Sea every 45 minutes:

1. Wait for Spawn Announcement: The game notifies when pools appear
2. Check Different Islands: Pools can spawn on various islands
3. Identify the Color: Each pool has a distinct color
4. Fish in the Correct Pool: Each skull corresponds to its colored pool

Pro Tips:

• Use the Frightful Pool Totem (3,000 Candy from Flying Dutchman) to summon a pool
• Join a Discord server where players share pool locations
• The Red Frightful Pool is the rarest and most valuable

Step 3: Place the Skulls

Once inside Nessie’s Catacomb:

1. Find the Five Pedestals: They’re color-coded to match the skulls
2. Place Each Skull on its Matching Pedestal: Green on green, red on red, etc.
3. Access the Fishing Area: After placing all skulls, the fishing area unlocks for 10 minutes

How to Catch Skeletal Nessie in 2025?

Now that you have access to Nessie’s Catacomb, it’s time to catch the elusive Skeletal Nessie.

Preparation

Before attempting to catch the Skeletal Nessie, make sure you’re properly equipped:

Recommended Fishing Rods

Rod	Why It’s Good	Alternative
Ruinous Oath	High stats, good for rare fish	Sanguine Spire
No-Life Rod	50% chance for Hexed mutation	Original No-Life Rod
Carbon Rod	Good all-around stats	Rapid Rod

Best Bait and Conditions

• Bait: Gummy Fish (significantly increases catch rate)
• Season: Autumn (required for this event fish)
• Weather: Rainy (preferred condition)
• Time: Any time of day works

The Catching Process

1. Enter Nessie’s Catacomb: You have 10 minutes once unlocked
2. Cast Your Line: Aim for the center of the fishing area
3. Wait for a Bite: Skeletal Nessie has a 0.5% base catch rate (1.2% with Aurora Borealis)
4. Begin Reeling: This is where the challenge begins

Reeling Mechanics

The Skeletal Nessie is one of the most difficult fish to reel in due to:

• -90% Progress Speed: Makes reeling extremely slow
• Extreme Resilience (5): Fish fights back intensely
• Erratic Movement: Moves unpredictably across the fishing bar

Techniques for Success:

• Use a rod with high Control and Resilience stats
• Consider using the Invincible Enchant to prevent line breaks
• Stay calm and make small, precise movements
• The fish’s movement pattern is predictable once you learn it

How to Get Hexed Mutation on Skeletal Nessie in 2025?

Catching the Skeletal Nessie is only half the battle. You need to apply the Hexed mutation to craft the Necrotic Rod.

Method 1: Appraisal (Recommended)

The most reliable method is using the appraisal system:

1. Find the FischFright Appraiser:
   • Location: Crook’s Hallow
   • Coordinates: 43, 141, -11623
   • Behind the Witch, beside the merchant
2. Use the Appraisal Service:
   • Select “Can you appraise this fish?”
   • Pay the required fee (varies based on fish weight and rarity)
   • There’s a 0.47% chance to get the Hexed mutation

Pro Tips:

• The cost reduces if you have the Appraiser’s luck game pass
• Appraised fish show a small green dot in the bottom left corner
• Save money before attempting multiple appraisals

Method 2: No-Life Rod (Alternative)

If you have access to a No-Life Rod:

• No-Life Rod: 50% chance for Hexed mutation
• Original No-Life Rod: 20% chance for Hexed mutation

This method is much more reliable but requires obtaining one of these rare rods first.

Method 3: Natural Fishing (Not Recommended)

You can attempt to catch a Skeletal Nessie that already has the Hexed mutation naturally:

• Base chance: 0.47%
• Not recommended due to extreme rarity
