To get the Requies mutation in Fisch, catch a Husk fish with the Requiem Rod so Arcane Finality creates a Requies duplicate.
Unlocking the rod is the main hurdle in this Roblox fishing game. Once you have it, focus on improving its Husk chance and recognizing the two fish produced by its passive. The valuable result is the extra fish, while the original Husk catch loses value. Check the crafting requirements below before committing your materials and currency.
Craft the Requiem Rod
The Requiem Rod is crafted at the anvil inside the Ancient Archives. You need the required level, the complete recipe, and enough C$ to pay the crafting fee.
Required level, materials, and cost
| Requirement | Amount needed |
|---|---|
| Player level | 1000 or higher |
| Requis Essence | Five |
| Requiem Core | One |
| Awakened Omnithal | One |
| Fossilized Plesiosaur | One |
| Crafting fee | 15,000,000 C$ |
The named fish variants are part of the recipe. A plain Omnithal does not replace the Awakened Omnithal, and a plain Plesiosaur does not replace the Fossilized Plesiosaur. Check those ingredients before heading to the anvil.
Prepare the Requiem recipe
Once your requirements are ready:
- Travel to the Ancient Archives and interact with the anvil.
- Choose the Requiem Rod recipe and craft it.
- Equip the rod before starting your mutation attempts.
Crafting unlocks the method, but it does not immediately award a Requies fish. You still need the rod's Husk effect to activate during a catch.
Understand what Arcane Finality produces
Arcane Finality creates two different results from a Husk catch: a reduced-weight original fish and a heavier duplicate carrying Requies. It does not simply change the original fish into a more valuable mutation.
Husk original versus Requies duplicate
| Property | Original fish | Duplicate fish |
|---|---|---|
| Mutation | Husk | Requies |
| Mutation sell value multiplier | 0.14x | 9.8x |
| Passive weight multiplier | 0.4x | 1.6x |
| Appearance | Light brown and translucent | Dark green with green particles |
| Role in the passive | Triggers Arcane Finality | Provides the valuable extra catch |
The weight multipliers and mutation multipliers describe separate effects. The original loses weight as well as receiving Husk's sale penalty, while the duplicate receives a weight increase and Requies's sale bonus. Do not read the 9.8x mutation value as a weight multiplier.
A fish can have only one mutation at a time. Husk and Requies therefore belong to separate fish in this interaction, and their sale multipliers do not stack on a single catch. The original Husk fish is not the valuable duplicate you are looking for.
Increase the chance of triggering Requies
The Requiem Rod has a base 20% chance to apply Husk. Your useful upgrade is the rod's mastery enhancement, which increases the frequency of the catch that starts Arcane Finality.
Complete Requiem of the Hunt
The mastery quest Requiem of the Hunt requires you to perfect-catch all Tidefall hunts with the Husk mutation. Both conditions matter: the hunt catch must be perfect, and it must have Husk.
Completing that mastery adds five percentage points to the rod's Husk chance.
| Requiem Rod setup | Husk chance | Average trigger frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Without mastery enhancement | 20% | One in five catches |
| With mastery enhancement | 25% | One in four catches |
These frequencies are averages, not a fixed catch cycle. Several catches without Husk do not mean the passive has stopped working, and mastery does not guarantee a trigger on every fourth catch.
The improvement from 20% to 25% is a 25% relative increase in Husk trigger frequency. Mastery is therefore a useful long-term target if you plan to keep farming with Requiem, although you can pursue your first Requies fish before completing it.
Improve your Husk catch odds
Add catch duplication and a Husk farming setup
The Scavenger enchantment can duplicate catches. Use it as a supporting option for additional catches, while keeping the mastery enhancement separate when considering your Husk odds. Catch duplication and an increased mutation chance are different benefits.
For Husk-focused farming, equip the Relic Construct pet and head to the Depths. This is an optional setup to support your fishing session; the Requiem Rod remains the item responsible for the mutation chain.
Prioritize the rod unlock before these supporting options. An enchantment or pet cannot substitute for the required catch with Requiem, so spending time on the setup first will not unlock Requies by itself.
Avoid spending on the wrong mutation route
Requies is not limited to a seasonal event. You can work toward its crafting and mastery requirements without waiting for an event window.
Decide whether to pursue Requies or another sale bonus
Requies is a specific collection and farming goal, not the only way to increase a fish's sale value. If your immediate goal is a reliable mutation application, Fisch's Glowy mutation offers an 8x multiplier and a 100% application chance through Glowworm Bait.
Choose between those routes based on the equipment and resources you want to use. Glowy has a bait-based method, while Requies rewards investment in Requiem's crafting recipe and Husk-triggered passive. For a Requies catch specifically, keep Requiem equipped and check the extra fish produced when Husk activates.
