During the limited-time FischFright festivities, players can acquire the Jack-O-Blazer Rod by tackling a series of challenges on Crook’s Hallow Island. This eerie locale introduces fresh activities and characters, including the spectral Headless Horseman, who offers quests culminating in this coveted fishing tool. Below, we outline the steps required to claim it.
Unlocking the Jack-O-Blazer Rod
Players have until November 1, 2025, to finish the Headless Horseman’s mission chain. You’ll need to complete five distinct objectives:
Hunt for an Enchanted Jack-O-Lantern
Cast your line around Crook’s Hallow to reel in a rare Jack-O-Lantern. Success rates are slim, but equipping a Frightful Relic on your rod guarantees all catches from it will carry the Frightful mutation, bypassing the need for appraisal.
Harvest Spectral Wisps
Follow the path near the Horseman to a cemetery guarded by Silas. Ghostly wisps materialize randomly on gravestones—keep an eye out for glowing markers and interact quickly to gather five of them.
Retrieve the Cursed Candle
The Mansion holds a shadowy candle among its ordinary counterparts. Scour candle clusters in dimly lit areas to identify this key item.
Craft the Blazed Handle
Track down a mischievous Goblin who’s stolen witch’s supplies. Return retrieved items to her cauldron for a shot at obtaining this fiery component.
Amass 5000 Candy
Complete festive tasks and explore the island to stockpile this event currency. Trick-or-treating rewards substantial amounts for efficient collection.
Present these items to the Horseman to receive your eerie angling tool.
