How to Get D.R.E.D. Rod in Fisch Dr. Anton’s Quest

D.R.E.D. is one of the rods added with the latest Venue Encore event of Fisch. This rod has a unique cannon design and comes with two new mutation passives, but unlocking it requires you to complete Dr. Anton’s questline in the Underground Music Venue. In this guide, we will tell you how to unlock DRED Rod in Fisch.

To unlock the DRED Rod in Fisch, you need to complete Dr. Anton’s questline. You can find him standing in the Underground Music Venue. Talk to him to start his first quest.

How to Obtain DRED Rod in Fisch

This is where you can buy the power source, but you will need the currency, the Glorp Bux, to buy it. It costs 55 GB. To get Glorp Bux, you need to fish for Gleebous mutated fish and sell them to Sophisticated Glorp; in return, he will give you GB depending on the weight and rarity of the fish.

DRED Rod Quest 1: Power Source

Now he will give you another quest; you will have to catch 115 Electric, Electric Shock, or Electrified fish and 9 Cursed Fish.

Once done, head back to Dr. Anton to begin the next quest.

Once you catch all of them, return to Dr. Anton for the next step.

DRED Rod Quest 2: Charging Up

Your next task is to scan five databanks that are scattered across different islands on the Fisch map before time runs out. A timer starts at the top of your screen, and if you do not scan every databank within 5 minutes, the bombs will detonate, and you will have to do it again.

Start from Moosewood, spawn your boat, and head towards the marked locations one by one. Once you get near the databank, hold E to scan it. Do this five times and return to Dr. Anton to claim your DRED rod.

The DRED Rod in Fisch has a unique mechanic that adds two fish to your fishing minigame, with one coming from another dimension. Keeping both fish inside the Control Bar boosts your progress and charges the rod’s OVERDRIVE ability.

• 25% chance to apply the Reality-Torn mutation, which gives fish a 9.35x sell multiplier.
• 35% chance to apply the Unstable mutation, which gives fish a 7x sell multiplier.
• +30% Progress Speed.
• 100% chance to duplicate directly caught fish.
• At the start of the minigame, there is a 15% chance for an item from another dimension to fall on the fish and grant bonus progress:
  • Tire: +10% Progress.
  • Fischpanion Cube: +15% Progress.
  • Toxic Waste: +20% Progress.
  • Scrap Metal: +25% Progress.
  • Fridge: +30% Progress.
  • Grand Piano: +50% Progress.
• Keeping both fish inside the control bar gives you 1x progress gain. Keeping only one fish inside reduces the progress gain to 0.4x.
• Every 4 seconds, you get +10% progress and +1 charge, and lock both fish inside the control bar for 0.6 seconds.
• Once you reach 3 charges, the rod activates OVERDRIVE!, consuming all stored charges and giving you +30% Progress while locking both fish for 2.5 seconds.

So that is how you can obtain the DRED Rod in Fisch. Did you unlock this rod? Let us know in the comments.

DRED Rod Quest 3: Calibration Specimens

After you’ve managed to catch every single one of those elusive fish, it’s time to head back and pay a visit to Dr. Anton for your next exciting challenge!

DRED Rod Quest 4: Radio Power

Now, Dr. Anton is going to require you to track down 5 Battery Casings. Here’s how you can effectively farm them:

• First, get yourself a Fisch boat and make your way over to Sunstone Island.
• Once you’re there, take a plunge into the Chasm and navigate your way into the Mineshaft.
• Get comfy and start fishing for those Battery Casings!

These battery casings have a pretty low drop rate at just 1%, but there’s a way to improve your chances. Equip a rod that has the Scavenger enchantment, and don’t forget to bring along a magnet or garbage bait. Once you’ve fished up all the Battery Casings you need, head back to Dr. Anton to progress.

DRED Rod Quest 5: Data Retrieval

For your next mission, you’ll need to scan five databanks scattered around various islands on the Fisch map, but don’t take too long! A timer will countdown at the top of your screen, and you have to complete all the scans within 5 minutes. If time runs out, the bombs will explode, and you’ll need to start all over again—so keep your eyes on that clock!

Your journey begins at Moosewood, where you’ll want to spawn your trusty boat and set sail to the various marked locations. As you draw near to each databank, don’t forget to hold down the E key to scan it. You’ll need to do this five times in total. Once you’ve got all your scans completed, make your way back to Dr. Anton to grab your shiny new DRED rod. Happy fishing!
