The crowd’s gone; the stage light still hums. You tap the guitar beside Ken Carson and the world folds into a hidden auditorium — and suddenly the Tormentor is standing in front of you like a challenge thrown down at a late-night gig. I remember that first click: I had everything set wrong and still got pulled into the quest, and you will want to avoid that same mistake.
I’m going to walk you through the Tormentor’s questline so you can get the Oppressor Rod in Fisch with fewer wasted runs. Read this as a road map: clear steps, bait and enchantment choices, and the final hurdles that cost both time and in-game cash.
How to Find Tormentor in Fisch and Start Its Questline
An empty underground venue smells of spilled soda and cigarette smoke — the exact vibe of Fisch’s music hall. You need to trigger a hidden teleport and meet an NPC called Tormentor in a secret auditorium. Do this wrong and you’ll stand there wondering why nothing happened; do it right and the questline begins.
- Enter the Underground Music Venue in Fisch.
- Find the Duskwire rod sitting to the left of the Ken Carson NPC.
- Before you click that Duskwire, equip the Dusk title and have the Duskwire rod in hand — otherwise the guitar won’t teleport you.
- Click the Duskwire to teleport to the secret auditorium and interact with Tormentor to start the chain.
The Dusk title comes from finishing Duskwire mastery — you’ll need 200 perfect catches. I checked Discord threads and a couple of YouTube clips to confirm that skipping the title is the single most common cause of the teleport not working.
How to find Tormentor in Fisch?
Click the guitar next to Ken Carson while holding the Duskwire rod and wearing the Dusk title. If it doesn’t work, double-check your bait and totems: a Tropical Squall Totem and the Duskwire in hand are the usual culprits people miss.
How to Obtain Oppressor Rod in Fisch
You can treat the Tormentor quests like a playlist: each track must be cleared in order before the next one starts. He gives a sequence of tasks that escalate from simple catches to riddle-like requirements; finishing each unlocks the next.
Chaotic Resurgence
The first task is straightforward but grindy: Tormentor asks for 2 Shiny Chaotic Catfish, 1 Mourned Wyvern, 3 Darkened Enchant Relics, and 1 Chaotic Enchant Relic.
- Shiny Chaotic Catfish: Use a Duskwire rod with Blessed or Invincible enchant. Worm bait + foggy night increases odds.
- Mourned Wyvern: Use the Tidemourner Rod with Long enchant and Truffle Worm bait for better drops.
- Darkened Enchant Relic: Depthseeker rod + Relic Construct companion is your go-to.
- Chaotic Enchant Relic: Duskwire rod with Relic Construct works here too.
Return to Tormentor to record progress and start the next set.
Road of Revenant Carcasses
At this point Tormentor gives riddles. They point to specific fish — think of them as little scavenger hunts inside your fishing log.
| Riddles | Requirement | How to complete |
|---|---|---|
| Seek for the monstrous victor of countless wars | Catch Monstrous Legionnaire Lamprey | Use the Cusk Purger rod |
| Bring a sturdy metal beast of worships | Catch Titanium Leviathan | Use the Titanium Rod with the Fractured/tryhard enchantment |
| Conquer the distressed and effervescent reborn eel | Catch Sparkling Distraught Revenant Eel | Use the Dreambreaker Rod with the Blessed/Glittered enchantment |
After these catches, report back to Tormentor. This sequence is where a mystic mirror marker in Fisch saves you a lot of back-and-forth time.
Divergent Perceptions
Tormentor raises the stakes again: now it’s a trio of specific catches that test your bait choices and enchantments.
- Distraught Veiled Charybdis: Dreambreaker Rod with Fractured or Cryogenic enchant plus Luminous Larva bait.
- Squalled String: Abaias Spite Rod with Garbage Bait in the Desolate Deep region of Fisch.
- Fallen Scylla: Use the Fallen rod with Shark Head bait.
Complete these and Tormentor gives you a restricted Oppressor Rod as a reward. Think of that restricted rod as a closed safe: valuable, but not yet ready for full use — like a diamond under glass.

How to Unrestrict the Oppressor Rod in Fisch
When you first get the Oppressor it’s locked behind a final rite: an Impermanent Distress quest plus an in-game fee. I cross-checked the payment step with Moyens I/O and several Discord threads; the cost is not negotiable.
- Catch 1 Fallen Skolopendra.
- Catch an Olympian Devil using Duskwire with no companion.
- Catch 35 Legendary or Mythical Oppressed fish in Crystal Cove.
- Parry 75 projectiles.
After those tasks, return to Tormentor and pay 70,000,000 C$ (~€46,000,000) to remove the restriction.
How much money do you need to unrestrict the Oppressor Rod?
You need to finish the final quest and pay 70,000,000 C$, which converts to roughly €46,000,000 based on typical exchange ranges. Plan your farming and sales — Discord trade channels, YouTube market guides, and Twitch streams are all useful places to watch for fast flips.
These steps get you past the grind and into a rod that changes how you run endgame loops; I recommend bookmarking the secret auditorium with your mystic mirror and keeping a checklist in your phone or Discord notes to avoid repeats. Will you treat the Oppressor as a showpiece or a daily grind instrument?
