The FischFright event has returned to Fisch, and this year’s Halloween update is bigger and spookier than ever.
Players can now explore Crook’s Hallow Island, take on new NPC quests, interact with the Witch Beatrix, and earn a brand-new event currency, Candy.
You’ll need plenty of it to buy the exclusive Halloween rods, relics, and masks available during this limited-time event.
If you’re looking to stack up Candy fast, this guide covers every efficient way to farm Candy in the FischFright update, along with tips to speed up your grind.
How to Get to Crook’s Hallow Island
Before you can start collecting Candy, you’ll need to travel to the new event island. There are two ways to get there:
1. Via the Flying Dutchman NPC:
Head to Moosewood Dock, where you’ll see a glowing green ghost ship. Talk to the Flying Dutchman, and he’ll transport you directly to Crook’s Hallow.
2. Using the Frightful Mirror:
If you already have the Frightful Mirror item in your backpack, simply use it to teleport instantly to Crook’s Hallow Island.

Once you arrive, you’ll see your Candy count in the bottom-right corner of your screen.
Every player starts with 0 Candy, so you’ll need to start farming right away.

Fastest Ways to Get Candy in FischFright
There are four main methods to collect Candy during the event.
Here’s how each one works and which is the fastest for farming.
1. Trick or Treating (Best for Quick Candy Boosts)
This is the simplest and fastest way to get Candy early in the event.
-
Open your backpack (press G) and equip the Candy Bucket item.
-
Walk around Crook’s Hallow Island and look for houses with number plates on the doors.
-
Approach a door while holding your bucket and press E to knock.
-
An NPC will open the door and give you Candy — whether they “trick” or “treat” you doesn’t matter, you’ll still get rewarded!
You can repeat this across multiple houses for a consistent Candy flow. Sometimes, you might even get limited-time FischFright fish as bonus drops.
Pro Tip: Houses reset after a short cooldown, so make a loop around the island and revisit them regularly.
2. Completing NPC Quests (Best for Large Candy Rewards)
Scattered across Crook’s Hallow are special NPCs offering Halloween-themed quests.
Each one rewards you with a large amount of Candy upon completion.
For example, you’ll find Vlad, an NPC near the Witch’s area, who might ask you to bring him a Vampire Perch or other special fish.
How it works:
-
Talk to NPCs by pressing E.
-
They’ll tell you what item or fish they need.
-
Fish for the requested item, or sometimes you can get it via trick-or-treating.
-
Return and submit it to complete the quest and earn Candy.
Some quests might ask for special or “Shiny” versions of items, so keep an eye out for glowing variants when fishing.
Pro Tip: Stack multiple NPC quests and complete them together to save time traveling between islands.
3. Submitting Ingredients to the Witch’s Cauldron (Event Challenge)
The Witch Beatrix is the centerpiece of this event. You’ll find her right at the spawn area on Crook’s Hallow.
When you talk to her, she’ll tell you that a mischievous Goblin has stolen her cauldron ingredients. Your job is to track down the Goblin and retrieve them.
How to do it:
-
Wait for the on-screen notification announcing the Goblin’s location.
-
Travel to the specified island (could be Mushgrove Island, Forsaken Shores, or another).
-
Complete the Goblin’s small challenge or mini-task to get the ingredient.
-
Return to Beatrix and submit it into the cauldron.
Each submission gives you a large amount of Candy, and sometimes extra FischFright-exclusive rewards.
Pro Tip: Keep your boat ready at all times. The Goblin spawns are time-sensitive and disappear quickly.
4. Fishing for Frightful Crates (Low-Effort Passive Farming)
While exploring the waters around Crook’s Hallow, you might come across Frightful Crates.
These crates can be fished up like regular catches.
Opening them can reward you with:
-
Small bundles of Candy
-
Rare FischFright fish
-
Occasional collectible event items
Although this method gives smaller rewards, it’s perfect to combine with normal fishing or quest grinding.
Pro Tip: Use a high-luck fishing rod like the Bat Whisperer Rod or Dusekkar Rod to increase crate drop rates.
What to Spend Candy On
Once you’ve farmed enough Candy, you can use it to buy exclusive FischFright items from the Flying Dutchman’s ship, which appears near Crook’s Hallow at random intervals.

Each time he docks, you’ll find a different selection of items for sale, such as:
- Frightful Relic
- Eerie Relic
- Spooky Relic
- Frightful Pool Totem
- Megalodon Mask
- Scylla Mask
- Red, Purple, or Orange Frightful Skulls
- Bat Whisperer Rod
- Dusekkar Rod
Make sure to visit the Dutchman whenever he appears, as his stock rotates frequently throughout the event.

-
