To get the Hollow Grin Ship in Deep Fishing, you must find 10 lost Ship Pieces and hand them to the Headless Horseman NPC at Haunted Hollow. Six pieces are in Haunted Hollow — three fished up with the Gravedigger Rod and three found on foot — while two sit in Fernshore (World 1) and two in Dunehaven (World 2). The Hollow Grin packs Speed 108, 6,600 Fuel, and 5 seats, and the Halloween event is expected to end November 8, 2026, so don’t sleep on it. Here’s every piece location I’ve found, plus my fastest collection route.
| Ship Piece | Area | How to Get It |
|---|---|---|
| Pumpkin Head | Haunted Hollow | Fish with Gravedigger Rod (1 in 40) |
| Horse Figurehead | Haunted Hollow | Fish with Gravedigger Rod (1 in 40) |
| Anchor | Haunted Hollow | Fish with Gravedigger Rod (1 in 40) |
| Ship Wheel | Haunted Hollow | River behind the mansion |
| Flag | Haunted Hollow | Behind the Halloween Merchant’s shop |
| Lantern | Haunted Hollow | Floats over the water drain by the zone board |
| Spiked Rail | Fernshore | Mountain path behind the Sell Shop |
| Throne Seat | Fernshore | Rocks behind the leaderboards |
| Bat Sail | Dunehaven | Alleyway behind the Baits Shop |
| Hull Plank | Dunehaven | Behind the tree by the Enchant platform |
The Three Fished Pieces: Pumpkin Head, Horse Figurehead & Anchor
You’ll receive the Gravedigger Rod automatically when you spawn into Haunted Hollow for the first time. Equip it and cast anywhere in the zone — each piece has a 1 in 40 chance per catch, and the rate is fixed, so Luck Potions, bait, and better rods won’t improve it. Only your total cast count matters, so fish in one long session and expect roughly 120 casts on average to bag all three. Check your inventory after each catch to track which piece is still missing.
Ship Wheel, Flag & Lantern (Haunted Hollow)
- Ship Wheel: Take the stairs between the Upgrades and Sell shops, round the back of the mansion, and drop into the river.
- Flag: Head to the Halloween Merchant’s shop, walk behind it, then go left along the waterfront.
- Lantern: Climb the stairs to the Haunted Hollow board, look left, and grab it floating over the water drain.
Fernshore Ship Pieces (World 1)
- Spiked Rail: Go behind Fernshore’s Sell Shop and start climbing the mountain — the rail sits on your left.
- Throne Seat: Slip behind the leaderboards (right of the Mutation Dealer) to find it wedged between two rocks. It sits low, so walk slowly or you’ll run straight past it.
Dunehaven Ship Pieces (World 2)
You’ll need Level 15 to reach Dunehaven, so grind a bit first if you’re new.
- Bat Sail: Enter the small alleyway behind the Baits Shop, keep straight past the tree, and it’s on your right.
- Hull Plank: Go to the Enchant area and check behind the tree on the platform’s left side.
How to Claim the Hollow Grin Ship?
Once all 10 pieces are in your inventory, return to the Headless Horseman and choose “Give Ship Pieces (10).” He trades you the Hollow Grin, a Halloween-exclusive boat. To use it, open the Shipyard, select the Hollow Grin listing, and press Spawn. While you’re there, the Halloween Merchant sells rod skins plus Bat and Cerberus pets on a 30-minute restock cycle — worth browsing before you sail off.
Pro Tips for Fast Collection
Clear the seven static pieces first — they’re guaranteed and take minutes — then grind the three fished ones in a single sitting. Keep the table above open as a checklist so you never backtrack, and confirm your inventory before starting because previously collected pieces still count. Love collectible hunts?

FAQs
Where is the Headless Horseman in Deep Fishing?
He stands beside his dark ship in Haunted Hollow, where he hands out the quest and accepts your 10 Ship Pieces.
Do you need all 10 Ship Pieces for the Hollow Grin?
Yes. There’s no partial turn-in, so all ten must be in your inventory before the Headless Horseman completes the quest.
Which Ship Pieces do you fish up?
Three: Pumpkin Head, Horse Figurehead, and Anchor — all caught with the Gravedigger Rod in Haunted Hollow at fixed 1 in 40 odds.
Can you get the Hollow Grin after the Halloween event?
Almost certainly not — the quest belongs to the Halloween update expected to end November 8, 2026, so collect everything before it sails away.
