If you’re trying to get the Sightless Oracle Harpoon in Fisch, the good news is that the quest itself isn’t too complicated. The annoying part is getting the required materials and landing one particular perfect catch. I’ll walk you through the whole process so you know exactly where to go and what you need before starting.
Find the NPC for the Sightless Oracle Quest
Start from the main area and head toward the back. You won’t have to travel very far. The NPC you need is located on the left side of the path.
Talk to him to start the Sightless Oracle quest. The quest has multiple requirements, so don’t worry if you don’t immediately receive the harpoon.
Perfect Catch 15 Fish at Gloomy Crevice
The first part of the quest requires you to perfect catch 15 fish in a row at Gloomy Crevice.
This sounds worse than it actually is. The important part is that all 15 catches need to be perfect, so take your time rather than rushing through them and breaking the streak.
If you already have a good harpoon, this part should be fairly manageable.
Once you’ve successfully completed the 15 perfect catches, return to the NPC to move on to the next requirement.
Perfect Catch the Monstrous Cusk
The next challenge is to perfect catch the Monstrous Cusk.
This is probably the part where you’ll want to pay the most attention. The catch has purple circles that can interfere with your perfect-catch timing. Don’t try to force the catch while those circles are sitting near the areas you need to hit.
Instead, wait for the purple circles to move away and then continue hitting the correct sections.
The Trident Harpoon was used successfully for this part, so if you have one available, it’s a solid option.
Once you land the perfect catch on the Monstrous Cusk, you’ve cleared another major part of the quest.
Collect the Required Materials
Now comes the material grind. You’ll need five of each of the following:
- 5 Radiant Prism Scale
- 5 Abyssal Bofluid
- 5 Hardened Chitten
- 5 Refined Scrap
- 5 Ancient Bones
This is where the quest can take a little longer depending on what materials you already have.
A good way to speed things up is to use the bounties, since they can help you target the materials you’re missing instead of randomly farming and hoping for the right drops.
I’d definitely recommend checking the bounty options before spending ages farming individual materials.
Claim the Sightless Oracle Harpoon
Once you’ve completed the catches and collected all of the required materials, return to the quest NPC.
After turning everything in, you’ll finally obtain the Sightless Oracle Harpoon.
And honestly, this thing is pretty interesting because its ability makes it much easier to hit moving targets.

Sightless Oracle Harpoon Ability Explained
The Sightless Oracle has lineless shots that automatically lock onto nearby prey.
Basically, you don’t need to aim perfectly at the fish every single time. As long as you’re shooting generally toward your target, the harpoon can lock onto it and track the prey.
The weapon also gets stronger with each accurate strike, so consistently landing your shots makes the harpoon even more effective.
It isn’t exactly a free auto-aim button—you still need to shoot in the general direction of the fish—but the tracking makes hitting your targets considerably easier.
I’d say it’s definitely worth picking up if you’re interested in trying something different.
The automatic targeting is the biggest selling point. You can aim roughly toward a fish and let the harpoon’s tracking help finish the job, which is especially useful when the target is moving around.
The quest is fairly straightforward overall. The 15 perfect catches, Monstrous Cusk, and material requirements are the main things you’ll need to work through, but once those are done, the Sightless Oracle is yours.
If you’re currently working toward it, I’d recommend getting the materials through bounties while working on the fishing requirements. That way you’re making progress on multiple parts of the quest instead of grinding everything separately.
