Fisch Guide – Unlocking the Halibut Harpoon

The Halibut Harpoon is a powerful late-game fishing rod in Fisch, notable for its ability to transform into a harpoon gun that fires multiple harpoons to expedite your catch. It’s a rewarding prospect but requires completing a lengthy series of quests and catching a large number of Pufferfish. Let’s discuss how to unlock this impressive weapon in Fisch.

How to Unlock the Halibut Harpoon in Fisch

To gain access to the Halibut Harpoon, you must finish Dr. Monty’s questline. Start by heading over to Monty’s Lab located in The Deep and engage with the NPC there. Keep in mind, you need to be at least Level 1,000 to begin this quest, so focus on leveling up quickly in Fisch if you haven’t already.

You’ll need to tackle eight quests in total, which entails catching various types of pufferfish, plus paying a hefty sum of 50,000,000 C$ to unlock the rod.

For the initial quest, Dr. Monty will present you with three questions. Answer them all correctly to progress to the next quest. Here’s what you need to reply:

• “The goggobites gather for what?” Choose “Hubbbermistchen.”
• “What is the value of a Sparkling Shiny Aether Pufferfish?” Choose “13,388.82 C$.”
• “What is my favorite color?” Choose “Orange…?”.
