Clown String Fisch Guide, How to Obtain!

The clown update in Fisch adds a new item called the Clown String, which is the final ingredient you need to unlock the Silly Fun Happy Rod. Even after finding all 20 balloon animals, many players get stuck on this last step because the string can only be obtained in a specific area using a very specific setup. This guide explains exactly how to find the Clown String fast and without confusion.

What Is the Clown String?

The Clown String is a special drop tied to the clown quest inside the Underground Music Venue. Once you return all balloon animals, the clown will ask you to bring back this string. It works like a quest item and is required before you can claim the Silly Fun Happy Rod.

The trick is that the Clown String does not drop from normal fishing spots, and you must use the correct rod and bait.

How to Get the Clown String

1. Equip the Training Rod

You cannot get the Clown String with any other rod.

• Open your inventory
• Select Training Rod
• Equip it before heading to the next step

If you use another rod, the drop will not appear at all.

2. Use Garbage Bait

The Clown String only appears when you’re fishing with Garbage Bait.
You can get Garbage Bait from:

• Desolate Deep fishing spots
• Certain trash-related catches
• Trading with other players

Make sure the bait is equipped before casting your line.

3. Travel to the Desolate Deep

This is the only location where the Clown String can be obtained.

• Head toward the Desolate Deep region
• Find any open fishing spot inside the zone
• Cast your Training Rod with Garbage Bait equipped

As long as both conditions are met, you will eventually pull up the Clown String. It may take several attempts, so keep trying.

4. Return to the Clown

Once you have the Clown String in your inventory:

• Go back to the Underground Music Venue
• Speak to the clown
• Complete the quest and unlock the next step

This should give you access to the Silly Fun Happy Rod once all previous tasks are done.

Tips to Make It Faster

• Stay away from risky areas, as losing your rod or bait forces you to restart.
• Fishing with lower tension helps avoid missed pulls.
• Keep extra Garbage Bait in case your first attempts fail.

The Clown String is a simple item, but only if you know the exact setup: Training Rod, Garbage Bait, and Desolate Deep. Once you secure it, the rest of the clown quest becomes straightforward, and you’ll be able to claim the Silly Fun Happy Rod without any more roadblocks. Follow the steps above, bring the string back to the clown, and finish the update with ease.
