You walk into Everturn Forest thinking you’re just there to fish… and then suddenly you see people running around with a weird branch rod that lets them choose between catches. That’s the Splitbranch Twig, and yeah — the game doesn’t explain it properly at all.
If you don’t know where to start, you’ll miss it completely. So here’s the clean, no-confusion way to unlock it and understand what it actually does.
How to Unlock Splitbranch Twig Rod in Fisch – Quest Steps
Everything starts in Everturn Forest. From the main area, you’ll want to walk over to the NPC standing nearby — the one that looks slightly out of place compared to the rest of the environment.
This NPC gives you a two-step quest, and you need to complete both parts before the rod even appears.
Step One – Catch 5 Unique Fish
The first requirement sounds simple, but it’s not just about catching anything.
You need to:
Catch five different fish types from Everturn waters
If you keep catching the same fish, it won’t count. So you’ll need to:
- Move around slightly
- Keep fishing until you get variety
This part is more about patience than difficulty.
Step Two – Perfect Catch 5 Fish at Night
This is where most players mess up.
Now the game adds two conditions:
- It must be nighttime
- You must land perfect catches
If even one catch isn’t perfect, it doesn’t count.
The easiest way to handle this is to slow down and focus on timing instead of rushing. Once you hit all five perfect catches during night, the quest is done.
Where to Buy the Splitbranch Twig
After completing both steps, head back near the same area.
You’ll notice:
The rod appears nearby and becomes purchasable
Cost:
- 25,000
So make sure you’re not broke when you finish the quest — otherwise you’ll just be staring at it.
Stats
- Lure Speed: 85%
- Luck: 100%
- Control: -0.1
- Max Weight: 45%
- Capacity: 10,000
At first glance, it doesn’t look insane… and yeah, stat-wise it’s not top-tier.
But that’s not the reason people use it.
This rod has a unique mechanic that you won’t see anywhere else.
When you cast:
- You can get two fish options
- You get to choose which one to catch
It almost feels like the game pauses for a moment and lets you decide.
Important detail:
You need to react quickly — if you’re too slow, it might auto-pick for you.
New Mutation Interaction
There’s also a new mutation tied into this system, which adds more randomness and potential value to your catches.
It’s not something you control directly, but it makes the rod more interesting the longer you use it.
The Splitbranch Twig is one of those items that looks average on paper but feels completely different in practice.
The quest isn’t hard, but it’s easy to mess up if you don’t pay attention to the conditions. Once you unlock it though, it adds a fresh twist to fishing that makes Everturn Forest feel more interesting.
