To get the Great Dream Waker Harpoon Gun in Fisch, spawn and reach Cursed Isle in the right conditions, complete 75% of the Cursed Isle Bestiary, then buy it inside the broken storage room for 1,500,000 C$.
The Great Dream Waker is one of the ranged fishing weapons added in the Harpoon Guns update, and unlike the harpoons you can grab early, this one sits behind two real gates. You need Cursed Isle to actually spawn, and you need serious progress on its Bestiary before the game will let you claim the gun. Here is exactly what blocks you and how to clear each gate.

Quick unlock requirements for the Great Dream Waker
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Item | Great Dream Waker Harpoon Gun |
| Location | Cursed Isle |
| Price | 1,500,000 C$ |
| Bestiary gate | 75% Cursed Isle Bestiary completion |
| Island spawn | Summer night |
| Where to look | Small broken storage room near broken wooden boards |
Before you sail anywhere, know what you are up against. Two of these are hard gates — if either the weather timing or your Bestiary is wrong, the trip is wasted.
How to unlock and buy the Great Dream Waker in Fisch
This runs from spawning Cursed Isle to walking out with the harpoon equipped, in the order the game expects you to do it.
Reach Cursed Isle
The island surfaces on a Summer night, so head out once the "The Cursed Isle has emerged from the fog!" notification appears.
Complete 75% of the Cursed Isle Bestiary
Catch and discover enough of the island’s local creatures to hit 75% Bestiary completion, or the gun stays locked even once you find it.
Find it in the broken storage room
Go to the small damaged wooden storage building on Cursed Isle and look inside for the Great Dream Waker resting in the corner.
Buy and equip it
Interact with the weapon and pay 1,500,000 C$, then equip it and you are ready to hunt.
Use the Sundial Totem to fast-forward the Celestial cycle to a Summer night instead of waiting in real time for the right conditions to roll around.

Finding the harpoon inside Cursed Isle’s storage room
Once you are ashore, you are looking for a small, broken storage room — a damaged wooden building sitting near a cluster of broken boards. It is easy to walk past because it looks like scenery rather than a shop.
Great Dream Waker stats and Leviathan focus
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Power | 35 |
| Range | 25 studs |
| Reload speed | 2.5 seconds |
| Velocity | 35 |
| Resilience | -20% |
| Accuracy | 30% |
| Max weight | 35,000 kg |
| Hunt Focus | Leviathan +30 |
The Great Dream Waker is a heavy-hitting harpoon with one clear specialty. Its numbers are solid across the board, but the Leviathan Hunt Focus bonus is what actually defines it — this is a Leviathan-hunting tool first and a general fishing harpoon second, and the resilience penalty is the price you pay for that power.
Common reasons players miss this Harpoon Gun
The most frequent mistake is sailing out in the wrong conditions — in clear weather or the wrong season, Cursed Isle simply never appears, so you can circle the map forever and find nothing. There is also older advice about buying a Smokescreen Totem from the Shipwright to force the island to spawn at night; that predates this update, so lean on the weather and season timing above instead.
Other Harpoon Guns from the same update
The Great Dream Waker is one of seven harpoons in this update, so if you are collecting them, there are six more to chase. The Steady Harpoon Gun at Roslit Bay is the cheap starter most players grab first, alongside the Fungal Harpoon Gun at Mushgrove Swamp and Frost Biter at Boreal Pines. Rounding out the set are Crystal Crasher at Crystal Coves, the craftable Relic Piercer, and the Trident Striker for late-game progression.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does the Great Dream Waker cost?
It costs 1,500,000 C$. It is worth farming a comfortable buffer past that so you are not left broke on bait and repairs the moment you buy it.
What Bestiary completion do you need for the Great Dream Waker?
You need 75% of the Cursed Isle Bestiary specifically — the creatures you catch and discover on that island, not your overall Bestiary percentage. Progress on other regions does not count toward this gate.
Where is the Great Dream Waker located on Cursed Isle?
There is no vendor NPC for it. You walk up to the weapon sitting inside the broken storage room, interact with it directly, and the purchase prompt appears — which is why players sometimes overlook it entirely.
Why can’t I buy the Great Dream Waker even after finding it?
Seeing it and claiming it are two different things. If the buy prompt refuses to complete, you are short on one of the two gates: your Cursed Isle Bestiary is under 75%, or you do not have the full 1,500,000 C$ on hand.
Is the Great Dream Waker useful for Leviathan hunts?
Yes — the Leviathan +30 Hunt Focus makes it a strong pick specifically for Leviathan hunting, which is its standout niche. Outside those hunts, the -20% resilience makes it a more situational choice than an everyday harpoon.
