Alright, let’s talk about one of the coolest (and slightly annoying to unlock) rods in Fisch — the Hades Soul Scythe. If you just watched a quick clip, it probably felt confusing. There are wisps, soul pools, darkness mechanics… a lot going on. But once you understand the flow, it’s actually very doable.
I’ll break it down the same way I’d explain it to someone grinding with me — no fluff, just what actually matters and what you should NOT waste time on.
Fisch Hades Soul Scythe Guide – Unlock, Wisps Farming
Before you even think about the Scythe, you need:
1. 100% Bestiary Completion
This is non-negotiable.
- Catch all normal fish
- The “exotic” ones come from Soul Pools
If your bestiary isn’t complete, stop here — nothing else will work.
Understanding Wisps
There are two types of wisps involved:
Dark Wisps (25 Required)
- Used to unlock the Scythe door
- You use them on graves
When you use one:
- There’s a chance to spawn a Hunt Soul Pool
Normal Wisps (100 Required)
- Required alongside dark wisps
- These are more grind-heavy
How to get wisps:
- Spawn randomly
- Can be caught anywhere, anytime
- Best method: use Toxin Burst
This part is pure grind — no shortcut, just efficiency.
Step-by-Step Unlock Process
Step 1 – Farm 25 Dark Wisps
Focus here first.
Once you have them:
- Go to graves
- Use wisps to try spawning Hunt Soul Pools
Step 2 – Farm 100 Normal Wisps
Do this alongside or after.
Tip from experience:
- Don’t tunnel vision one type — farm both together when possible
Step 3 – Open the Door
Once you have:
- 25 Dark Wisps
- 100 Normal Wisps
You can now:
- Unlock the Hades Scythe area
The “Dark Room” Trick (This Saves You Time)
So here’s something a lot of people miss or overcomplicate.
Inside the area:
- It’s completely dark
- You’re “supposed” to farm 25 more wisps for a lantern
But honestly… you can skip that entirely.
Easy Bypass Method:
- Hold a mutated fish (like glowing/sparkling)
- It acts as a light source
That’s it. No extra grind needed.
This trick alone saves a LOT of time.
Getting the Hades Soul Scythe
Once you navigate through:
- You’ll reach the reward area
- And finally unlock the Hades Soul Scythe
Hades Soul Scythe Stats Explained
Here’s what you’re working with:
- Lure Speed: 200%
- Luck: 250%
- Control: 0.1
- Resilience: 10%
- Max KG: Infinite
- Disturbance: +5
What this feels like in-game:
- Extremely fast catches
- High luck for rare fish
- Slightly tricky control (not beginner-friendly)
- Very aggressive playstyle rod
The Unique Ability – “Hades Curse”
This is where the rod becomes insane.
What happens:
- Every catch builds a charge bar
- As it fills:
- Effects get stronger
- Speed increases
Once full:
- It triggers Hades Curse
- Resets the bar
- Gives a powerful burst effect (including mutations and faster catches)
Pro Insight:
- Perfect catches = faster charge
- If you play clean, this rod becomes broken strong
Honestly? Yes — but only if you’re ready for the grind.
This rod is:
- One of the best-looking in the game
- Actually rewarding for skilled players
- Built around momentum and precision
The only annoying part is:
- Wisp farming (no way around it)
But once you get past that, it feels like a real upgrade — not just another rod.
