To get the Requies mutation in Fisch, you need the Requiem Rod and a little luck. Catch a fish with the Husk mutation, and the rod’s Arcane Finality passive creates a duplicate carrying Requies, a 9.8x sell value mutation. You can’t roll it from bait, enchants or appraisal. Below, I cover the crafting requirements, how the passive works and the fastest ways to grind it in November 2026.

How to Get Requies Mutation in Fisch?

Requies is tied to a single item. The whole process is getting the Requiem Rod, then fishing with it until Husk rolls.

Quick Steps

  1. Reach level 1,000.
  2. Collect 5 Requis Essence, 1 Requiem Core, 1 Awakened Omnithal and 1 Fossilized Plesiosaur.
  3. Craft the Requiem Rod at the Ancient Archives anvil for 15,000,000 C$.
  4. Equip it and keep fishing. Every catch has a 20% chance to roll Husk.
  5. Reel in the Husk fish. Arcane Finality fires and the Requies duplicate lands in your inventory.

Requiem Rod Crafting Requirements

This is the hard part. The level gate and the material chain take the longest.

RequirementWhere to get it
Level 1,000Grind levels before you start the quest chain
5x Requis EssenceMagical Diver quests in the Sunken Reliquary (Tidefall)
1x Requiem CoreFinal Magical Diver quest
1x Awakened OmnithalRandom hunt catch in the Sunken Reliquary
1x Fossilized PlesiosaurCaught at Tidefall Castle (unlock the Obelisk puzzle first)
15,000,000 C$Paid at the anvil

The Magical Diver’s questline asks for a Fallen Flying Gurnard, then an Omnithal, then an Awakened Omnithal. The final craft also consumes an Awakened Omnithal, so you need two in total. I’d use a Glitch Potion on the Awakened Omnithal during the questline to duplicate it and cover both needs in one catch.

Once you have everything, head to Ancient Isles with the Fisch Requiem Rod guide open if you need the route. Enter the Archives through the waterfall, cross the broken bridge and use the anvil at the end. Select the Requiem Rod, submit the materials and pay.

How Arcane Finality Works?

The Requiem Rod has a flat 20% chance to apply the Husk mutation to any fish you catch. Husk lowers sell value to 0.14x, so on its own it’s a downgrade. The trick is what happens next.

When a Husk fish lands, Arcane Finality triggers two effects:

  • The original fish’s final weight drops to 0.4x.
  • You receive a duplicate carrying the Requies mutation at 1.6x the final weight.

So on average, you’ll get a Requies fish about once every five catches. It’s a per-catch chance, not a guarantee, so dry streaks and back-to-back rolls are both normal. The location, bait and weather don’t change the Husk chance. It’s tied to the rod itself.

The rod’s stats are built for luck and speed: Lure Speed 120%, Luck 277%, Control 0.1, Resilience 63% and Max Weight 1,500,000 kg. The low Control is the weak spot. Enchantments like Herculean, Steady and Mystical help cover it.

The rod also changes the reeling minigame. Starting and finishing an input with the fish on the bar adds bonus progress. Releasing right after holding input can snap the reel, so use short, measured taps with gaps between them.

Tips to Get Requies Faster

Since Requies depends on Husk, everything below is about getting more Husk rolls.

  • Finish the first mastery quest. Perfect Catch every Tidefall hunt fish with Husk to earn +5% Husk chance, raising your rate from 20% to 25%.
  • Use the Scavenger enchantment. It duplicates your catches, which gives you extra Husk rolls.
  • Pair the Relic Construct companion with the Depths. This is a reliable way to farm Husk-mutated fish faster.
  • Fish where catches come quickly. Husk can land on any fish, so volume beats chasing rare spawns.
  • Check your inventory after every Husk catch. The Requies duplicate is easy to miss in a busy session.

Requiem Rod Mastery Quests

Since the Skycrest update, the Requiem Rod has a three-quest mastery line that revolves around Husk and Requies. It also starts at level 1,000.

QuestObjectiveReward
Requiem of the HuntPerfect Catch all Tidefall hunts with Husk+5% Husk chance
Requies of the HuntCatch 1 Requies secret hunt fishThe Requiem title
Requiem of the HuskCatch 250 Husk fish with the rod+0.5% click progress on Progress Locked Fish

Finish all three to unlock the Ethereal Requiem skin. For the second quest, the fish must be a Colossus Reef Titan, Awakened Omnithal, Ancestral Pliosaur or Ancient Goldwraith. You don’t fish for Requies directly. Land one of them with Husk and the duplicate arrives automatically, so this quest often completes itself during the first.

The Husk Perfect Catch must be a perfect catch, since a normal Husk catch doesn’t count. At the base 20% rate, 250 Husk fish takes roughly 1,250 casts, and fewer once you have the +5% boost. Work the hunt quest around its rotation and grind the 250 in the gaps. For more on this progression, see our Fisch rod progression guide.

Is the Requiem Rod Worth It?

If your goal is profit, yes. A Requies duplicate sells at 9.8x on a heavier fish, and you get one roughly every five catches. If you only want a faster, more consistent rod, check our best Fisch rods list first. The real cost is the level 1,000 gate and the 15 million C$ price, not the odds once you own it.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Using another rod. No other rod applies Husk, so you’ll never trigger Arcane Finality.
  • Trying to appraise for Requies. Neither Husk nor Requies is appraisable.
  • Bringing only one Awakened Omnithal. You need one for the quest and one for the craft.
  • Spamming input on release. It can snap the reel and lose the fish.
  • Expecting Requies every catch. It’s a 20% Husk roll first, then the duplicate.

FAQs

What is the Requies mutation multiplier in Fisch?

Requies multiplies a fish’s sell value by 9.8x and turns it dark green.

Can I appraise a fish to get Requies?

No. Requies only comes from the Requiem Rod’s Arcane Finality passive after you catch a Husk fish.

What level do I need to craft the Requiem Rod?

You need level 1,000, plus the materials and 15,000,000 C$, at the Ancient Archives anvil.

How often do I get a Requies fish?

The rod has a 20% chance to apply Husk on each catch, which rises to 25% after the first mastery quest. Every Husk catch produces one Requies duplicate.

Does Husk work on hunt fish?

Yes. The mastery quests require Husk on Tidefall hunt fish, and a Requies hunt fish counts toward The Requiem title.
