The Cusk Shot Harpoon Gun is crafted at the Ancient Archives harpoon table with a Monstrous Cusk Shot, 3 Refined Scrap, 3 Abyssal Bio Fluid, 3 Ancient Bone, 3 Hardened Chitin, and 3 Radiant Prism Scale.
The route is straightforward once you know the correct station: reach the Ancient Archives, open the harpoon crafting table, and bring the full material set. The slow part is getting the Monstrous Cusk Shot, which comes through The Deep, Deep City, and the Monstrous Cusk Hunt.

KEY!
Cusk Shot is not a shop purchase. It is crafted at the harpoon crafting table inside the Ancient Archives, separate from the fishing rod crafting station.
The broader The Deep route connects the Faceless Cusk, Monstrous Cusk Hunt, and Monstrous Cusk Shot progression. That tooth is the boss-linked material used for the Cusk Shot Harpoon Gun craft.

How the Monstrous Cusk Shot fits in The Deep update of Fisch
The Monstrous Cusk Shot comes from the Monstrous Cusk Hunt in The Deep. Catch counts and crevice coordinates vary, so follow the progression path instead of farming toward a fixed number.
- Unlock access to The Deep and Deep City.
- Find the Faceless Cusk crevice in The Deep.
- Catch Faceless Cusks until the Monstrous Cusk Hunt starts.
- Use an owned Harpoon Gun during the chase as the Monstrous Cusk moves toward Deep City.
- Defeat the Monstrous Cusk to get the Monstrous Cusk Shot.
Check the harpoon crafting table first before farming extra materials, because the rod crafting station will not show the Cusk Shot recipe.
Cusk Shot stats
| Stat | Value |

Cusk Shot mistakes to avoid
Do not waste time at the rod crafting station; Cusk Shot belongs at the harpoon crafting table. Skip normal island vendors as your first stop, because this route uses crafting rather than a standard shop purchase.
Be careful with thumbnails, short posts, and recycled item lists that mention Cusk Shot without showing the in-game crafting menu. Use the harpoon table menu in your own server before you commit rare materials.
