To get the Cathedra Requiei skin in Fisch, enter The Chapel from Crystal Cove’s Illusory Veil with the Requiem Rod and a Husk Enchant Relic, start Nyx’s quest, complete Mortal Shells and Husking Lament, then return to Nyx to unlock the skin.
The Cathedra Requiei is a legendary skin for the Requiem Rod, not a separate rod, and it’s one of five Chapel-exclusive rod skins added with the Chapel update. You earn it by finishing a two-part questline for the NPC Nyx inside The Chapel, a hidden area reached through the Illusory Veil in Crystal Cove. Everything below covers the exact rod, relic, fish, and conditions the questline asks for.
What you need before entering The Chapel
| Requirement | What |
|---|---|
| Requiem Rod | Have the Requiem Rod crafted and equipped — the skin only applies to this rod. |
| Husk Enchant Relic | Carry one Husk Enchant Relic; it opens the portal and is consumed on entry. |
| Crystal Cove access | Enter the Strange Whirlpool to reach Vertigo, fish up The Depths Key with a steady rod, unlock The Depths, then take the tunnel at X:1100, Y:-700, Z:1400 to Crystal Cove. |
| Rod and relic on entry | Equip the Requiem Rod and hold the Husk Enchant Relic when you interact with the Illusory Veil, or Nyx will not spawn. |
Nyx won’t appear at all unless you arrive with the right gear, so sort these out first. Getting to Crystal Cove is a small journey of its own, since it sits past The Depths.
The one thing to burn into memory: interacting with the Illusory Veil while holding the Husk Enchant Relic permanently deletes that relic. There’s no refund, so only step through once the Requiem Rod is equipped and you’re actually ready to begin.

Find the chapel entrance
Head to the Illusory Veil near the wooden bridge and small pond in Crystal Cove.

Mortal Shells fish and where to catch them
| Fish | Where and conditions |
|---|---|
| Husk Pliosaur | Tidefall Castle (Pliosaur Hunt), Shark Head bait, Night / Foggy / Winter. |
| Husk Reef Titan | Coral Bastion (Reef Titan Hunt), no specific bait, any time, weather, or season. |
| Husk Omnithal | Sunken Reliquary (Omnithal Hunt), Luminous Larva bait, Night / Foggy / Winter. |
| Husk Pliosaur | Collapsed Ruins (Pliosaur Hunt), Shark Head bait, Night / Foggy / Winter. |
| Husk Goldwraith | Crowned Ruins (Goldwraith Hunt), Sapphire Krill bait, Night (any weather or season). |
Farm the five Mortal Shells fish with the Requiem Rod itself equipped — its innate Husk chance means the mutation can appear naturally, so you don’t have to consume a Husk relic on every catch.
Husking Lament: the second phase
| Objective | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Perfect Catch | Land a Perfect Catch on a Husk Sparkling Omnithal or an Awakened Omnithal. |
| Catch and return | Catch and return a Requies Omnithal or an Awakened Omnithal. |
Once Mortal Shells is turned in, Nyx hands you Husking Lament, which shifts entirely to the Omnithal at Sunken Reliquary. Fish there with Luminous Larva during Night, Foggy, Winter, and roll the Sparkling attribute onto your Requiem Rod at an Appraiser beforehand — the first objective checks for it.
Mistakes that can block the quest
The most common wall is arriving at the Illusory Veil without both the equipped Requiem Rod and a held Husk Enchant Relic — get either wrong and Nyx simply never appears, leaving you stuck at the entrance. Because the relic is destroyed on entry, double-check your loadout before you press E.
During the hunts, ignoring the Night, Foggy, Winter windows is what quietly fails most attempts, since several Husk fish only spawn under those exact conditions. In Husking Lament, forgetting to roll Sparkling or settling for a normal catch instead of a Perfect Catch invalidates the first objective outright. And after every phase, remember to head back to Nyx — the quest only advances when you turn each part in.
Other Chapel rod skins to chase next
Cathedra Requiei is just one of five Chapel rod skins, so once it’s on your Requiem Rod you can start on Caeruleus Reliquiarium, Capella Vitrea, Ruptor Derelictus, and Sanctuarium Lucis Seraphim. Each has its own rod, relic, and NPC pairing inside The Chapel, so the relic farming you did here carries straight into the next goal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Husk Enchant Relic get consumed when entering The Chapel?
Yes. Pressing E on the Illusory Veil throws the Husk Enchant Relic into the water and permanently deletes it, so only enter when you’re set to start the quest.
Which NPC starts the Cathedra Requiei quest?
Nyx, the NPC waiting inside The Chapel. Talking to her begins Mortal Shells, and you return to her to turn in each phase and finally claim the skin.
Do you need the Requiem Rod before getting the skin?
Yes. Cathedra Requiei is a skin for the Requiem Rod specifically, and you must have that rod equipped to open the portal, so there’s no way to earn it without the rod first.
Which fish are needed for Mortal Shells?
Five Tidefall hunt fish, all carrying the Husk mutation: Husk Pliosaur, Husk Reef Titan, Husk Omnithal, Husk Pliosaur, and Husk Goldwraith. You can catch them in any order.
What does Husking Lament require?
Two Omnithal objectives at Sunken Reliquary. The Perfect Catch is what trips most players up, since a normal catch on the Sparkling or Awakened Omnithal won’t register toward the objective.
More questions⤵
Why is Nyx not appearing in The Chapel?
Almost always because the Requiem Rod wasn’t equipped or the Husk Enchant Relic wasn’t held on entry. A community claim about presenting several relics at the waterfall floats around, but for this skin the Requiem Rod plus Husk Enchant Relic combination is all you need.
