How to Get the Halibut Harpoon in Fisch — Step-by-Step Guide

How to Get the Halibut Harpoon in Fisch — Step-by-Step Guide

I remember standing on the pier in Fisch with my line taut and the game’s UI humming in my ear. The Harpoon sat in the vendor window like a promise I wasn’t sure I deserved. I told myself I would chase it until the clock ran out.

How to Get Halibut Harpoon in Fisch

I once watched a mechanic tune a classic engine until every gear whispered; that patience will be your friend here.

I’m going to walk you through Dr. Monty’s questline step by step so you don’t waste time chasing dead ends. You start in The Deep: find Monty’s Lab, talk to Dr. Monty, and accept the chain. You must be Level 1,000 to begin — yes, you read that right. The path contains eight quests, dozens of perfect catches, and a final payment of 50,000,000 C$ (≈ €42,000,000).

Dr. Monty in Lab

Fisching Greetings

First quest, quick win: Dr. Monty asks three questions. Answer all three correctly and the chain opens up. The safe answers are:

  • “The goggobites gather for what?” — Hubbbermistchen.
  • “What is the value of a Sparkling Shiny Aether Pufferfish?” — 13,388.82C$.
  • “What is my favorite color?” — Orange…?

Pufferfish Abroad

Collect samples the way a museum curator collects specimens: precise, repetitive, and patient.

Dr. Monty will ask for 10 of each of these:

  • Pufferfish
  • Flying Pufferfish
  • Blight Pufferfish
  • Pufferflute
  • Pyrite Pufferfish
  • Carrot Pufferfish
  • Mustard

Collect My Pufferfish

There’s a rhythm to this quest stage—catch, perfect, hand in, repeat—so set a routine and stick to it.

You must perfect-catch and turn in the following mutated Pufferfish (mostly in sets of 10):

  • Wrath, Rotting, Exploded, Lost, Celestial, Sanguine, Crystalized, Heavenly, Sunken, Greedy — 10 each
  • Bellona’s Fury, Mastered, Sandy, Rainbow Cluster, Honey, Solarblaze, Hexed, Toxic, Brined, Mythical — 10 each
  • Withered — 5
  • Atlantean, Lunar, Lucid — 10 each

Intermission Time

I once watched a baker let dough rest for exactly five hours; stepping away matters here too.

After that batch of mutated fish, Dr. Monty makes you wait five hours in real time. Come back when the timer finishes and you’ll proceed to the next list.

At this point you’re in a grind groove; refine your route and bait choices to spare time.

Perfect-catch and hand in these (note several low-count rares mixed in):

  • Fabulous, Tryhard, Verdant, Igneous, Obsidian, Nuclear, Shady, Blessed, Gleebous, Harmonized, Royal, Gravitas, Bioluminescent, Distraught — 10 each
  • Forest Spirit, Mossy, Serene, Spirit, Blue Moon, Puritas, Shiny King’s Blessing, Shiny Harmonized, Photical, Oscar, Hades’ Curse — small counts (1–2–5) as listed in the quest
  • Putrid — 1

500 Pufferfish!

Return to Monty after the second list and he gives you a Restricted Halibut Harpoon. This is not the prize yet — it’s a test. You must Perfect Catch 500 Pufferfish while wielding the Restricted Harpoon to proceed.

The Final Hoard

A collector’s final request: three deep-sea variants in bulk.

  • Bathyal Pufferfish — 25
  • Thalassic Pufferfish — 25
  • Hadal Pufferfish — 25

Hand in those bundles, pay the final 50,000,000 C$ (≈ €42,000,000) to remove the Restriction, and the Halibut Harpoon is yours.

Fisch Halibut Harpoon Ability Explained

I once watched a lighthouse keeper maintain a lamp; small boosts add up to enormous range.

The Halibut Harpoon raises fish weight by 20% and packs a suite of abilities designed to speed collection and amplify sell value.

  • 20% chance for a Bathyal mutation (7x sell multiplier).
  • 20% chance for a Thalassic mutation (9x sell multiplier).
  • 20% chance for a Hadal mutation (11x sell multiplier). Perfect Catches have a 10% chance to upgrade a fish to Hadal.
  • Catching a fish restores 5% oxygen.
  • Every five seconds, the rod fires 15–35 harpoons at the progress bar; each harpoon adds 1% progress.
  • If you land 15 harpoons inside the control bar, final weight multiplies by 1.7x.
  • 10% chance to preserve your bait on catch.
  • Shooting a school catches the whole school in one go.
  • Bait rarity grants bonuses:
    • Trash/Common: shoots confetti
    • Uncommon: minimum harpoons set to 25
    • Unusual: +5% shiny/sparkling chance
    • Rare: final weight ×1.25
    • Legendary: +10% Royal mutation chance
    • Mythical: +15% duplicate chance with Bathyal
    • Exotic/Secret: +1% extra progress per harpoon on Progress Locked fish

Mechanically the tool changes how you play: it rewards precision and repeatable perfect catches. The questline unfolds like a military campaign, and the reward reshapes how you farm schools and mutations.

What level do you need to start Dr. Monty’s questline in Fisch?

You must be Level 1,000 to begin Dr. Monty’s chain in The Deep. That’s the threshold — no exceptions.

How much does the Halibut Harpoon cost in Fisch?

The final step asks for 50,000,000 C$ (≈ €42,000,000) to remove the Restriction and grant full Harpoon functionality.

If you want to speed this up, watch creators like CarbonMeisterPlays on YouTube for route ideas, join active Fisch Discord servers for spawn timers, and keep a spreadsheet of rare puffer locations in Roblox to track your runs. Harpoons rain like confetti when you’ve synced everything — but does that make the grind worth the payoff for you?
