How to Find Hammi and Get the Hammyshork Rod
- 1
Go to the Desolate Deep Buoy
Sail to the lone buoy behind Sunstone Island that marks the entrance to the Desolate Deep (GPS -790, 125, -3100). Whale Shark Hunts spawn around it.
- 2
Rescue the lost shark plush on the sea floor
Dive down and look on the bottom for a small shark plush stuck in a trap, then interact with it to rescue it. It only shows up while a Shark Hunt is running: if the sea floor is empty, wait for a hunt or start one with a Shark Whistle and look again. The quest Hammyshork: Rescue starts, and the plush's tag points to the Shark Sanctuary near The Arch.
- 3
Swim into the Shark Sanctuary under The Arch
Go to The Arch, the big rock arch northeast of Moosewood (GPS 1000, 125, -1250), and dive. On the sea floor near it, a cave door that was shut before is now open. Swim through the short underwater obstacle course behind it to reach Hammi's room.

Talk to Hammi
Hammi gives you the quest Hammyshork: Emergency Recruiting. Hammy isn't doing well and the Shark Sanctuary needs help, so you have to catch and bring back 13 different sharks.
- 5
Catch and hand in all 13 sharks
Catch each shark in the table below and give it to Hammi. The four big Ocean sharks only bite inside their Shark Hunt, so those take the longest.
- 6
Get the Hammyshork Rod
When all 13 are in, Hammi gives you the Hammyshork Rod and 10 Shark Tokens. The rod costs no C$.
Hammyshork Rod Stats
Taken from the rod card in the game. Compare it with other rods in the rod advisor.
Hammyshork Rod Modes and How to Unlock Them
The rod has three modes, one for each shark plush you bring back to the Sanctuary. They show as shark icons on the rod card. A new mode starts at level 0, so its abilities stay locked until you feed it (next section).
Hammy
The mode the rod starts with, once Hammi gives it to you.
Get Well Soon
Hammi's next quest sends you to the Northern Expedition. Wear a Winter Cloak and bring an Oxygen Tank, then follow the quest marker up the mountain to another lost shark plush lying in the snow. Rescue it and bring it back to Hammi.
Reward: Get Well Soon mode, the Sharkbreaker (an Exotic item) and 10 Shark Tokens.
Well
Hammi asks you to fetch Dr. Well, whose vacation has to end early. Follow the quest marker to the Desolate Deep and swim through every ring of the underwater course before the timer runs out.
Reward: Well mode and 10 Shark Tokens.
How to Level Up the Hammyshork Rod
- Fish with the Hammyshork Rod. It gives catches the Feeding Frenzy mutation, one of the two mutations added in 2.09 (the other is Ocean's Apex).
- When you catch a Mythical, Exotic, Secret or Apex fish with Feeding Frenzy, a Feed option appears. Feed it to the shark of the mode you are using.
- One Feeding Frenzy Mythical fish took Hammy mode from level 0 to 0.25. The Get Well Soon and Well mode cards ask for Exotic or rarer fish.
- Each mode's abilities unlock as its level goes up, so keep feeding the mode you want to use.
Shark Tokens pay for the new Shark merchant. Besides the 10 from each quest, Hammi says you earn them by fishing with the Hammyshork Rod and by finishing Megamouth's challenges. To find rare fish worth feeding, see the mutations guide and the location ranker.
