The Oppressor Rod is an exclusive reward from Tormentor’s questline in Fisch’s Venue Encore update. To unlock it, you’ll need to find Tormentor in the Underground Music Venue and complete the objectives he gives you.
In this guide, I’ll explain how to reach the venue, start Tormentor’s quests, complete each objective, and claim the Oppressor Rod. I’ll also share tips to help you avoid losing fish or missing special quest requirements.
How to Get the Oppressor Rod in Fisch – Find Tormentor
Tormentor is located in the Underground Music Venue, beneath Crystal Cove.
To reach him:
- Travel to Crystal Cove and follow the route through the underground caves.
- Make sure you have unlocked access to the Underground Music Venue.
- Enter the venue and locate Tormentor among the event characters.
The venue also features other characters, including Ken Carson, Draven, Gorp, and Trice. For the Oppressor Rod, you only need to interact with Tormentor.
How to Start Tormentor’s Questline
Once you find Tormentor, interact with him to begin his questline.
Read the dialogue and check the objectives carefully. Tormentor’s quests may require specific fish, items, mutations, or other conditions. The update announcement confirms that completing his quests rewards the Oppressor Rod, but it does not provide a complete list of quest requirements.
To avoid wasting time, use the exact objectives displayed in your in-game quest screen.
How to Complete Tormentor’s Quests
Step 1: Check the Current Objective
After accepting a quest, review the required items or fish.
Pay attention to:
- The exact fish or item name
- The required quantity
- Any special mutation or condition
- Any other instructions shown in the quest
A regular fish may not count if the objective requires a specific mutation or condition.
Step 2: Collect the Required Items or Fish
Travel to the appropriate location and collect everything required for the current stage.
If the quest requires fish, keep them in your inventory until you turn them in. Avoid selling or releasing quest fish by mistake.
Step 3: Return to Tormentor
Once you complete the objective, return to the Underground Music Venue and speak to Tormentor.
Turn in the required items or fish, then check whether the next quest stage is available.
Step 4: Continue Through the Questline
Repeat the process for each stage:
- Read the new objective.
- Collect the required items or fish.
- Return to Tormentor.
- Turn in your collection and advance.
Continue until the game confirms that Tormentor’s full questline is complete.
How to Claim the Oppressor Rod
After completing Tormentor’s entire questline, you should unlock the Oppressor Rod.
Check your equipment inventory to confirm that you received it. If it does not appear immediately, speak to Tormentor again and verify that the final quest stage is marked complete.
Oppressor Rod vs. Other Venue Encore Rods
The Venue Encore update features separate questlines and rewards for different characters.
| Character | Rod Reward |
|---|---|
| Tormentor | Oppressor Rod |
| Ken Carson | Exorcist Rod |
| Draven | Black Fairy Rod |
Each character has their own questline, so completing Ken Carson’s or Draven’s quests will not unlock the Oppressor Rod.
Tips for Completing the Questline
- Read every objective carefully: Check for special fish, mutations, or conditions.
- Keep quest fish in your inventory: Avoid selling or releasing them before delivery.
- Return to Tormentor after each objective: The next stage may require another interaction.
- Track your progress: Confirm that each stage is completed before moving on.
- Check your inventory at the end: Make sure the Oppressor Rod has been awarded.
To get the Oppressor Rod in Fisch, travel to the Underground Music Venue beneath Crystal Cove, speak to Tormentor, and complete every objective in his questline. Follow the exact requirements shown in your quest screen, return to Tormentor after each stage, and check your inventory once the final quest is complete.
