How to Get the Fangsplitter Rod in Fisch

Where to Find Echo

1. Go down to Crystal Cove in The Depths (GPS 1364, -612, 2472). The Underground Music Venue opens once a Chaotic Enchant Relic sits on the pedestal there; then the trapdoor in the shelter at the back of the cove (GPS 1350, -604, 2329) leads down to it.
2. Echo stands in front of the right side of the stage (GPS 2056, -644, 2479).
3. Pick “I'll prove it.” when Echo talks about rubber ducks, and the first quest starts.

The Astraeus Serenade guide uses the same Venue.

All 5 Echo Quests for the Fangsplitter Rod

Echo hands out the quests one at a time, in this order. Get the Nocturnal Rod before you start: the first and the last quest both need it.

1. 1

   Rubber Ducks Rule the World

   Perfect catch a Rubber Ducky 7 times using the Nocturnal Rod.

   Buy the Nocturnal Rod in Vertigo for 15,000 C$. Rubber Duckies bite in Vertigo while it rains. A Perfect Catch means the fish never leaves your bar while you reel, so pick a bait with Resilience if you keep missing.

   Reward: The Elongated Rubber Ducky skin.

2. 2

   Glistening Madness

   Catch and return 1 Shiny or Sparkling Withered Colossal Squid.

   Colossal Squid bite on foggy winter nights in the Ocean, at Ancient Isle, Atlantis, Snowburrow and Snowcap Island (Night Shrimp). Withered only rolls on the catch: the Decayed Rod (10% of catches) or the Withered Spear (25%). Shiny or Sparkling has to roll on the same catch, so fish during Night of the Luminous, which raises the Sparkling chance.

   Reward: A Tiny Colossal Squid and the "COLOSSAL" title.

3. 3

   Days Turn to Nights, Nights Turn to Days

   Stay in the game for 7 full day cycles (day, night, day). Sundials are allowed.

   Keep playing without leaving the game. A Sundial Totem moves the daylight cycle forward, so 7 cycles go much faster with Sundials than waiting.

   Reward: 7 Sundial Totems and a title.

4. 4

   Wingripper Pt.2

   Catch and return 1 Shiny or Sparkling Distraught Enchant Relic.

   Distraught is only on catches made with the Dreambreaker (25% of catches by day, 35% at night). The Depths are the place to fish for Enchant Relics. Fish there at night, ideally during Night of the Luminous, until a Relic comes up Distraught and Shiny or Sparkling.

   Reward: The Bat Wings lantern.

5. 5

   The End

   Perfect catch any Megalodon 7 times using the Nocturnal Rod.

   Megalodons only bite during a Megalodon Hunt, the red pool behind Ancient Isle (Shark Head or Tryhard Worm). Start one with a Megalodon Hunt Totem, or keep fishing at Ancient Isle until Disturbance starts one. They weigh at least 50,000 kg and the Nocturnal Rod holds only 10,000 kg, so put the Invincible enchant on it first: it removes the weight limit. Then land 7 Perfect Catches.

   Reward: The Fangsplitter Rod and the Megalodon Tooth Bobber.

Fish pages: Rubber Ducky, Colossal Squid, Megalodon. Withered (9.5x) and Distraught (8.5x) are in the mutations guide; Invincible is in the enchantments guide.

The Bat Swarm Passive

Perfect Catches in a row build up a swarm of bats around you, and the swarm raises your progress speed: land a Perfect Catch and another bat joins. So the Fangsplitter pays most for players who can keep the fish in the bar catch after catch. Echo puts it this way in the game: bats chase anything that never misses.
