Fisch Cursed Eel Guide, How to Fish & Get It

Are you ready to face the fish with a curse? The Cursed Eel, introduced in the Forsaken Shores update in Fisch, is no ordinary fish—it comes with its own set of unique traits and challenges. In this guide, we’ll explore everything you need to know about the Cursed Eel, including where to find it, how to catch it, and what to expect from its notorious curse.

About The Cursed Eel

The Cursed Eel is one of the rarest and most elusive fish in Fisch. It’s found exclusively in the waters surrounding the Forsaken Shores island, a new area introduced in the game. What sets this fish apart is not just its rarity, but its association with the mysterious curse it carries.

Despite its “cursed” nature, the Cursed Eel is not as ominous as it sounds. While catching it won’t lead to any supernatural consequences, it does bring with it some in-game challenges. The fish is relatively light, weighing about 25kg, which means it doesn’t require any heavy-duty rods or equipment to reel in. However, its curse is a different matter.

How to Catch the Cursed Eel

Finding the Cursed Eel is no easy task—it has very specific preferences for when and where it appears. Here’s what you need to know to increase your chances of hooking one:

Location: Forsaken Shores

• The Cursed Eel only spawns in the waters around the Forsaken Shores island, so make sure you’re in the right area of the map to encounter this elusive fish.

Preferred Time: Nighttime

• The Cursed Eel only appears at night, so you’ll need to fish after the sun sets. Be prepared for a nighttime adventure to land this particular catch.

Preferred Weather: Rainy Weather

• Not all weather conditions are suitable for finding the Cursed Eel. You’ll need to fish during a rainstorm for the fish to appear. If it’s clear and dry, the Cursed Eel won’t show up.

Preferred Season: Summer

• The Cursed Eel is most likely to spawn during the summer season. If you’re fishing during another season, your chances of finding this fish will be lower.

Favorite Bait: Coal

• To attract the Cursed Eel, you’ll need to use Coal as your bait. Make sure you stock up on Coal before heading out to fish for this rare catch.

Using the Right Rod

• You can use the Nocturnal Rod to catch the Cursed Eel, even during the daytime, as long as the weather and season are correct. This rod allows you to fish during non-nighttime hours, so it’s an essential tool for your fishing trip.
• Alternatively, if you want to control the weather, you can use the Tempest Totem to start a rainstorm, making sure the conditions are ideal for the Cursed Eel to spawn.

The Cursed Eel’s Curse What to Expect?

The Cursed Eel is not just a rare fish—it also comes with a curse. When you catch this fish, you’ll experience a 50% penalty to your progress speed. This is typically reserved for much rarer fish, so the Cursed Eel stands out for its tricky nature. This curse means you’ll be reeling in fish at half the normal speed, which can slow down your fishing progress significantly.

While this may sound daunting, don’t worry—it’s not a permanent or game-breaking issue. You’ll simply need to plan accordingly and be patient when trying to fish after catching the Cursed Eel. The good news is that you’re not doomed to fail forever—this penalty is temporary, and once it wears off, you can continue fishing at your normal speed.
