If you’re working through the new Sounds That Repeat and Linger quest in Fisch, you’ve probably reached the point where the game asks you to catch Wisp-Lit Hunter and Winning Side. That’s where most players get stuck.
The problem is that these aren’t actually fish names. Fisch loves using cryptic quest descriptions, and in this case, both objectives are referring to specific fish combined with specific mutations.
Once you know what the quest is really asking for, the requirements become much easier to complete.
Here’s exactly how to get both Wisp-Lit Hunter and Winning Side.
Fisch Wisp-Lit Hunter and Winning Side Guide – Quest Tips
Wisp-Lit Hunter is actually a:
Soul-Touched Sticks Angler
The quest doesn’t tell you this directly, which is why so many players end up searching the entire bestiary looking for a fish called “Wisp-Lit Hunter.”
To complete the objective, you’ll need to catch a Sticks Angler and apply the Soul-Touched mutation.
How to Get a Soul-Touched Sticks Angler
The easiest method is using:
Recommended Setup
- Hades’ Soul Scythe Rod
- Sticks Angler fishing location
The Hades’ Soul Scythe is specifically designed around obtaining Soul-Touched mutations, making it by far the most reliable option.
Steps
- Travel to a location where Sticks Anglers can be caught.
- Equip the Hades’ Soul Scythe.
- Continue fishing until you catch a Sticks Angler with the Soul-Touched mutation.
- Turn it in for the Wisp-Lit Hunter requirement.
Depending on your luck, this objective may take several attempts.
What Is Winning Side?
Winning Side is actually a:
Jackpot Shimmering Silverside
Just like Wisp-Lit Hunter, the quest uses a nickname rather than the fish’s actual name.
To finish this objective, you’ll need both:
- Shimmering Silverside
- Jackpot Mutation
How to Get a Jackpot Shimmering Silverside
The easiest way to obtain Jackpot is through the Random Rod.
Recommended Setup
- Random Rod
The Random Rod’s passive effect can apply the Jackpot mutation while fishing, making it the most efficient option currently available.
Steps
- Equip the Random Rod.
- Fish for Shimmering Silversides.
- Wait for the Jackpot mutation to trigger.
- Catch a Jackpot Shimmering Silverside.
- Turn it in to complete the Winning Side requirement.
While other methods may work, the Random Rod is generally considered the fastest approach.
Quick Quest Summary
If you just need the answers:
Wisp-Lit Hunter
- Fish: Sticks Angler
- Mutation: Soul-Touched
- Best Rod: Hades’ Soul Scythe
Winning Side
- Fish: Shimmering Silverside
- Mutation: Jackpot
- Best Rod: Random Rod
Best Strategy for Fast Completion
If you’re trying to finish the Sounds That Repeat and Linger quest as quickly as possible:
- Start with the Soul-Touched Sticks Angler since it typically takes longer.
- Use the Hades’ Soul Scythe exclusively for that objective.
- Once completed, switch to the Random Rod.
- Farm Shimmering Silversides until Jackpot appears.
This minimizes wasted time and avoids unnecessary grinding with the wrong equipment.
The Sounds That Repeat and Linger quest is much easier than it initially appears. The trick is knowing that Wisp-Lit Hunter and Winning Side are simply coded names for mutated fish rather than unique catches.
To complete the quest, focus on obtaining a Soul-Touched Sticks Angler using the Hades’ Soul Scythe and a Jackpot Shimmering Silverside using the Random Rod. After that, you’ll be ready to move on to the next stage of the Noiseform questline without wasting hours chasing fish that don’t actually exist.
