The Astraeus Serenade Rod is one of the most secret heavy and grind intensive rods ever added to Fisch.
Introduced as part of the final major update before 2025 ends, this rod is locked behind a multi step quest chain involving rare fish, strict weather conditions, hidden NPCs, and expensive turn ins.
This guide explains every step required to unlock the Astraeus Serenade Rod, where to go, what items you need, and whether the rod is actually worth the effort once you obtain it.
What Is the Astraeus Serenade Rod in Fisch
The Astraeus Serenade Rod is a high luck focused fishing rod tied to a hidden music themed questline.
Unlike most rods, it cannot be purchased or crafted directly. You must uncover a sequence of secrets scattered across different regions and time based conditions.
This rod is designed more as an endgame collectible with a unique passive, rather than a straight upgrade over existing meta rods.
Step 1 How to Get Dusky Thread
The first requirement is crafting Dusky Thread, which is obtained through Merlin.
To get Dusky Thread, submit the following three items to Merlin
- Celestial Radiant Crystal
- Serene Radiant Crystal
- Breezed Radiant Crystal
All three are found in the Mineshaft, which was added after the Merlin rework.
How to Access the Mineshaft
The Mineshaft is located in the sea behind Merlin’s house.
However, you cannot enter normally without using Merlin’s Veil.
Once inside, fish until you obtain all three Radiant Crystals, then return to Merlin to receive the Dusky Thread.
Step 2 Place the Required Materials on Cursed Isle
After obtaining Dusky Thread, head to Cursed Isle and go outside the Great Dreamers Rod cabin.
Here, you will find the Shadow NPC, but only under very specific conditions.
Important conditions
- Must be a Foggy Night
- The NPC spawns at the very end of the night
- You can use a sundial to speed up timing
Items You Must Place in Order
You need to hold and place the following items in this exact order by pressing E on the dirt pile
1 Resin
2 Driftwood
3 Molten Ripple
Where to Get Each Item
Resin – Fish at Mushgrove Swamp
Driftwood – Best farmed at Sunstone Crate Cave at coordinates -1145, 135, -1075
Molten Ripple – Fish at Roslit Volcano at coordinates -1945, 275, 230
Once placed correctly, you will receive the Astronomical Fretboard.

Step 4 Talk to Astraeus and Claim the Rod
Once you have all quest items, go to the Underground Music Venue.
Steps
- Use the Starfall Totem
- Interact with the Guitar, Drum, and Mic in any order
- You will be teleported to the Astraeus room
Items Required to Turn In
To receive the Astraeus Serenade Rod, you must give Astraeus all of the following
- Dusky Thread

- Astronomical Fretboard
- Lunar Scrap
- Nova Resin

The rod is not a meta defining upgrade.
Pros

- Unique clutch passive
- Prestige and rarity value
Cons

It feels more like a collector or novelty rod rather than a reliable daily fishing tool.

To fix its weak points, enchantments are highly recommended.

These enchants help stabilize the rod’s inconsistent performance.
Final Thoughts
The Astraeus Serenade Rod is one of the most complex quests Fisch has ever introduced.
While the grind is intense and the payoff is debatable, completing this questline is a badge of honor for dedicated players.
If you enjoy uncovering secrets and completing difficult objectives, this rod is worth chasing. If you prefer consistent performance, there are better practical options.
