The Halloween event in Fisch features several scarecrow quests, and one of them requires you to catch a rare fish called Crypt Crab. Since this is a limited fish, finding one can take some patience, especially if you are trying to finish the quest quickly.
In this guide, we will explain where to catch Crypt Crab, which season and time you should fish during, and how to improve your chances of getting this rare catch. There are two locations where you can try fishing for it, so you can choose whichever option works best for you.
We will also cover an important requirement for the scarecrow quest: you must catch Crypt Crab yourself. Trading for one with another player will not complete the objective.
How to Get Crypt Crab in Fisch – How to Catch, Conditions
There are two locations where you can try to catch Crypt Crab during the Halloween event: Frightful Pools and the green water in the Halloween event area.
1. Fish in Frightful Pools
<text>Frightful Pools</text> occasionally appear around the regular Fisch world. When you find one, you can fish inside the pool for a chance to catch Crypt Crab.
Follow these steps:
- Explore the regular game world and look for a Frightful Pool.
- Travel to the pool when you find one.
- Equip your fishing rod and bait.
- Cast your line into the pool and keep fishing until you catch Crypt Crab.
Frightful Pools are a useful option if you come across one while playing. However, because they appear occasionally, you may prefer the second method if you want to fish in a specific location.
2. Fish in the Green Water at Costal Hallow
Your second option is to travel to Costal Hallow, the Halloween event area, and fish directly in the green water.
Here is what you need to do:
- Travel to Costal Hallow.
- Find the green water in the event area.
- Equip your fishing rod and suitable bait.
- Fish in the green water until you catch Crypt Crab.
Both Frightful Pools and the green water at Costal Hallow give you an opportunity to catch this fish. Choose the location that is easiest for you to access.
Best Conditions for Catching Crypt Crab
Because Crypt Crab is a rare catch, using a suitable fishing setup can help improve your chances.
Here are the recommended conditions:
- Season: Spring
- Time: Night
- Fishing rod: Use your best available rod, preferably one with high Luck.
- Bait: Choose bait that provides Universal Luck.
Try to fish during spring at night whenever possible. Combining the recommended conditions with a high-Luck setup can make your attempts more effective.
Keep in mind that a better setup does not guarantee an immediate catch. You may still need several attempts before Crypt Crab appears.
Can You Use Crab Cages to Get Crypt Crab?
No. You should focus on regular fishing instead of wasting time trying to catch Crypt Crab with crab cages.
Crab cages cannot be used on the Halloween event island, so you will need to catch the fish using your fishing rod.
Head to one of the two recommended fishing locations, equip your best Luck setup, and continue fishing until you get the catch.
How to Complete the Crypt Crab Scarecrow Quest
Once you have caught Crypt Crab, you can use it to complete the corresponding scarecrow quest during the Halloween event.
However, there is one important rule: you must catch Crypt Crab yourself.
Getting the fish through a trade with another player will not count toward the quest objective.
Follow these steps to complete the quest:
- Travel to Frightful Pools or Costal Hallow.
- Fish until you personally catch Crypt Crab.
- Return to the scarecrow that requests the fish.
- Submit your catch to complete the objective.
Make sure you catch the fish yourself before returning to the scarecrow. Otherwise, the quest may not recognize your progress.
Tips for Catching Crypt Crab Faster
If you are struggling to find Crypt Crab, these tips can help you make the most of your fishing attempts.
- Use your highest-Luck rod: Choose the best rod available in your inventory, preferably one with a strong Luck stat.
- Equip Universal Luck bait: This can improve your chances of getting a rare catch.
- Fish during spring and night: These are the recommended conditions for Crypt Crab.
- Try both locations: Use Frightful Pools when you find them, or fish in the green water at Costal Hallow.
- Avoid crab cages: Stick to regular fishing instead.
- Be patient: Crypt Crab is rare, so it may take multiple attempts to catch one.
Catching Crypt Crab in Fisch is an important step if you want to complete its Halloween scarecrow quest. You can fish for it in Frightful Pools around the regular world or in the green water at Costal Hallow.
For the best results, use your highest-Luck fishing rod, equip Universal Luck bait, and try fishing during spring at night. Most importantly, remember that you must catch Crypt Crab yourself for the scarecrow quest to count.
Keep fishing, and once you land your own Crypt Crab, return to the scarecrow to finish the objective.
