What to know
- Astraeus Serenade Rod is one of the strongest endgame rods in Fisch, requiring a long multi-stage quest
- Several steps depend on exact weather, time, and item order
- You must collect rare fish, special materials, and large in-game currency
- Preparation and patience matter more than raw fishing luck
The Astraeus Serenade Rod sits at the very top of Fisch’s progression ladder. Unlike standard rods you buy or unlock quickly, this one tests everything you’ve learned—mutation fishing, weather timing, exploration, and resource management. If you’re aiming for a true endgame setup, this rod is worth the effort.

How the Astraeus Serenade quest works
The quest is divided into multiple artifact-style objectives. Each major component represents part of the rod’s construction. You must complete all of them before Astraeus allows the final exchange.
Progress is not linear—you can gather some items in advance, but certain steps only activate under strict conditions.
Getting Astraeus Serenade Rod
How to get Dusky Thread
Dusky Thread is obtained early and acts as the quest’s soft gate.
Step 1: Speak to Merlin
Find Merlin and accept the task related to Radiant Crystal mutations.

Step 2: Catch three Radiant Crystal mutations
You must submit one of each:
- Celestial Radiant Crystal - get from Celestial Rod
- Serene Radiant Crystal - get from Polaris Serenade Rod
- Breezed Radiant Crystal - get from Wind Elemental Rod
These mutations are most reliably fished in deeper or restricted areas, like the MINESHAFT, once you have decent luck and mutation-boosting gear.

Step 3: Turn them in
After handing all three to Merlin, you receive Dusky Thread.

How to get the Astronomical Fretboard
This step is heavily timing-based and easy to fail if rushed.
Step 1: Travel to Cursed Isle
Arrive at the end of a Foggy Night. Arriving too early or too late will not work.

Step 2: Find the Shadow NPC
The NPC appears near the cabin area associated with high-tier rods.

Step 3: Place items in the correct order
Hold and place the following exactly in this order:
- Resin
- Driftwood
- Molten Ripple
If the order is correct, the ritual completes and you receive the Astronomical Fretboard.

How to get Twilight Pegs
Twilight Pegs require natural weather and a specific summon trigger.
Step 1: Reach Northern Expedition peak
Climb to the highest point of the Northern Expedition region.

Step 2: Wait for a natural Windy Night
This must be a natural weather change. Totems or forced weather will fail.

Step 3: Hold a Heavenly Flying Fish
Holding this fish spawns the Spirit of Light.

Step 4: Offer Blessed Moonwood
Give the spirit Blessed Moonwood to receive Twilight Pegs.

How to get Bloop Fish
The Bloop Fish is a limited-time aquatic that only appears during a special Bloop Fish Hunt event.
Only one Bloop Fish spawns per hunt, and the event itself lasts 10 minutes, making timing critical. When the hunt begins, you need to reach the fishing area quickly and focus solely on landing the Bloop Fish before the window closes.

Because of the single-spawn limit, competition and reaction speed matter more than luck during this step.
How to catch the Colossal Ethereal Dragon
The Colossal Ethereal Dragon is one of the rarest fish required for the Astraeus Serenade Rod.
You can only catch it during a Colossal Ethereal Dragon Hunt, which has a 0.2% chance to trigger at the start of each night. This hunt can occur only inside the Luminescent Caverns and Crimson Caverns.

If the hunt does not trigger when night begins, the dragon will not spawn at all for that cycle, meaning patience and repeated night checks are unavoidable for this requirement.
How to get Serene Strings and prepare the cash requirement
To complete the final Astraeus transaction, you must fulfill both an item and currency requirement.
You need to catch two Serene Strings by fishing in the Desolate Pocket of the Desolate Deep region. These are location-locked drops, so fishing elsewhere will not count.
Initially you were supposed to submit a Profane Leviathan instead of the Serene Strings.

In addition to the strings, you must also have 50,000,000 C$ available at the time of the final exchange. Without the full amount, Astraeus will not complete the transaction, even if all other quest items are ready.
How to complete the final Astraeus ritual
Final steps to get the Astraeus Serenade Rod:
Step 1: Go to the Underground Music Venue
Bring a Starfall Totem with you.

Step 2: Activate the instruments
Interact with the Guitar, Drum, and Microphone. Order does not matter.

Step 3: Enter Astraeus’ void
You’ll be teleported automatically once all instruments are activated.

Step 4: Hand over all items
Submit every required quest item and currency.

Once confirmed, Astraeus grants you the Astraeus Serenade Rod.
Is the Astraeus Serenade Rod worth it?
If you’re committed to Fisch’s endgame, yes. The rod’s infinite weight and extreme luck make it ideal for rare fish hunting and late-stage progression. Casual players may find the cost and complexity excessive, but completionists will appreciate the payoff.
