So, you’ve been grinding in Fisch, chasing lobsters in the new update and reeling in every rare fish you can find, and now you’re eyeing something a little… greater? Let’s talk about the Great Rod of Oscar, a beast of a rod dropped in with the Lobster Fishing Update. It’s strong, expensive, and hidden behind a multi-step journey that spans across both seas. If you’re tired of mediocre rods and want something that can boost your XP and make your catches smoother (and maybe just a little flashier), Oscar’s Rod is your next big upgrade. Just be warned: unlocking it won’t be a walk in the park, or a swim in the reef. Here’s how to do it.
How to Get Great Rod of Oscar
In this guide, I’ll cover everything you need to know to get your hands on the Great Rod of Oscar. First, I’ll walk you through the full step-by-step questline, starting with a ghost named Joe and ending in a deep-sea dive to Oscar’s secret locker.
After that, I’ll break down the rod’s stats and passive abilities to show why it’s such a big deal. And finally, I’ll go over the best enchantments to pair with it so you can make the most of your shiny new rod. Let’s get into it.
Step 1: Speak to Dead Man Joe (Fisch Sea 2)
Your journey begins in Sea 2, on the Isle of New Beginnings. Look for the spooky (but surprisingly helpful) Dead Man Joe near the merchant shop. If you want to be precise, head to these coordinates:
XYZ = -377, 78.4, -447.4
Talking to Joe will kick off the Dead Man’s Tale quest and give you your first clue: something about an amulet and Oscar’s lost locker.
Step 2: Find Oscar’s Amulet (Sea 1 – Grand Reef)
Pack your bags, it’s time to go back to Sea 1, specifically, the Grand Reef. Placed on a broken boat on an island near the entrance to Atlantis, you’ll find Oscar’s Amulet.
Use your GPS and head to: XYZ = -3559, 144, 481.4. Look at the amulet and press E to pick it up. Don’t lose it. You will need it.
Step 3: Return to Dead Man Joe
Once you’ve grabbed the amulet, make your way back to Dead Man Joe in Sea 2. Talk to him again while holding the amulet, and he’ll point you to the Cursed Shores, where the final piece of this puzzle lies.
Step 4: Find Oscar’s Locker (Sea 2 – Cursed Shores)
Now for the final dive. Head to the Cursed Shores and prep your Advanced Diving Gear and Super Flippers. Navigate to: XYZ = -340.5, 78.5, 1708.4.
Dive underwater and find the tunnel that looks oddly like something out of Mariana’s Veil. Make sure your amulet is equipped, if not, decay damage will hit fast and you’ll barely last a few seconds.
Swim through the tunnel until you reach Oscar’s Locker. Inside, you’ll find the Great Rod of Oscar, which you can buy for a jaw-dropping E$ 5,000,000.

Best Enchantments for Oscar’s Rod
To really unlock its potential, enchant your rod. Here are the top options:
- Clever – 2.25x XP from all fish. Stacks amazingly with the rod’s built-in 1.25x XP.
- Mystical – +25% Luck, +45% Resilience, +15% Lure Speed, +10% Progress Speed. A great way to make up for the rod’s weak resilience.
- Blessed Song – +40% Progress Speed. Pair it with the built-in +30% and you’re basically insta-catching.
Other great picks include:
- Controlled – +0.15 Control for wider reel bar.
- Insight – 1.5x XP, easier to get than Clever.
- Resilient – +35% Resilience if you’re just trying to patch up weaknesses.
Is the Great Rod of Oscar Worth It?
Short answer? Absolutely, if you’re in the Second Sea and grinding for XP or Credits. The 5 million E$ price is steep, but with its XP multiplier and Oscar Mutation passive, this rod pays for itself over time. Whether you’re trying to hit max level or just pull in the big fish for bank, Oscar’s Rod is a serious upgrade.
Yes, the resilience is a bit low and the control isn’t perfect, but with the right enchantments, you’ll barely notice.
Wrap-Up
The Great Rod of Oscar isn’t just a fishing tool in Fisch, it’s an endgame flex. It takes effort to unlock, and yeah, 5 million E$ isn’t exactly pocket change. But once you’ve got it in your hands, you’ll be reeling in fish like never before. So what do you think? Is Oscar’s Rod going to be your go-to? Already got it? Let me know how it’s working out for you.
