Companion Candy gives your equipped companion 1,500 XP in Fisch. That’s as much Companion XP as catching 150 fish. You can get it from Shark Sanctuary challenges, daily and weekly challenges, or Treasure Chests.
If you’re farming candy specifically, start by checking the rewards at Shark Sanctuary. If Companion Candy is listed there, you can work toward a known reward instead of hoping for a chest drop.
All Ways to Get Companion Candy in Fisch
| Source | How Companion Candy Drops | When to Use This Method |
|---|---|---|
| Shark Sanctuary challenges | Check the rewards shown by the Megamouth Shark NPC. | When a challenge you can complete already lists candy. |
| Daily and weekly challenges | Reported chances are 17% for daily challenges and 25% for weekly challenges. | Once you reach player level 150 and can access these challenges. |
| Treasure Chests | Reported drop chance of 1.19% per chest. | When you already have Treasure Maps or want other chest loot too. |
1. Check Shark Sanctuary for Companion Candy
Shark Sanctuary is an underwater cave near The Arch. The Megamouth Shark inside lists challenges and shows their rewards, so you can check for candy before committing to a task.
- Sail to The Arch and dive toward Castaway Cliffs.
- Look beneath the rubble near GPS coordinates
1284.2, -9.3, -1676.2for the cave entrance. - Enter Shark Sanctuary and speak to the Megamouth Shark.
- Read the rewards for the available challenges. If Companion Candy is listed, complete the matching task.
If candy isn’t on the board, completing a challenge refreshes the available options. You can also pay C$ to reroll them, but each reroll costs more than the last. If you’re saving money, do a manageable challenge to refresh the board before paying for several rerolls.

2. Complete Daily and Weekly Challenges
Once you reach player level 150, check your daily and weekly challenges. Weekly challenges have the better reported chance of dropping Companion Candy at 25%, compared with 17% for daily challenges. Neither guarantees a candy.
If your active challenges overlap, work on them in the same fishing session. Keep the companion you want to level equipped so it earns XP from your catches even if the challenge doesn’t reward candy.
3. Open Treasure Chests
Treasure Chests can drop Companion Candy, but the reported chance is only 1.19%. This route makes more sense if you already have a map than if you’re starting from scratch just for candy.
- Fish until you pull up a Treasure Map. The reported chance is 1 in 200.
- Take the map to Jack Marrow at Forsaken Shores and pay 250 C$ to reveal the missing coordinates.
- Equip the repaired map and use your GPS to find the marked location.
- Open the Treasure Chest and check your loot.
If you’re unsure which direction to move when reading the map, see our Fisch GPS coordinates guide.
How to Feed Companion Candy in Fisch
- Equip the companion you want to level and make sure it’s following you.
- Select Companion Candy from your backpack or hotbar so your character holds it.
- Walk up to your companion and use the interaction prompt to feed it. On PC, press E if the prompt shows that key.
Each candy grants 1,500 Companion XP. Companions start at level 1 and cap at level 10, with stronger passive abilities as they level up. Check which companion is following you before feeding it, especially if you switch pets often.
How to Level Up Your Companion Without Candy
Keep your companion equipped while fishing for quests, money, or bestiary entries. Each catch gives 10 Companion XP. Interacting with your companion gives 5 XP, and walking with it gives 1 XP per 10 seconds. Both walking and interaction XP are capped between catches, so keep fishing to make steady progress.
Is Companion Candy the Same as Stardust Candy?
No. Companion Candy levels up a companion you already own. Stardust Candy is a separate item used to unlock Comet, so regular Companion Candy won’t work as a substitute.
