Fisch 2nd Anniversary Event Update Guide – Codes, Pools

- Birthday Cake
- Anniversary Pools
- Birthday Leviathan

- Birthday Candle Rod
- Cupcake Bait
- XP rewards
- Anniversary code
- New anniversary variant
There are more than 10 milestone rewards available, giving you plenty of reasons to keep participating.
How to Find the Birthday Cake in Fisch
The Birthday Cake is connected to Moosewood and acts as the main location for the Fisch 2nd Anniversary Event.
Once you find it, you can submit your anniversary catches into the icing pool.
The basic event progression works like this:
Catch anniversary fish → Submit them at the Birthday Cake → Light candles → Unlock rewards
Every unique species you turn in helps with the candle progression.
Because of this, you should focus on finding different species rather than repeatedly submitting the same fish.
How to Light All Birthday Cake Candles
Lighting all the candles is one of the main goals of the Fisch anniversary event.
Whenever you submit a unique species into the Birthday Cake’s icing pool, you make progress toward the candles.
Keep collecting different anniversary species and returning them to the cake.
Once you’ve successfully lit every candle, you’ll be able to claim the Birthday Candle Rod.
This makes the candle progression particularly important if you’re trying to collect the main limited-time reward.
How to Get the Birthday Candle Rod
The Birthday Candle Rod is the main reward from the Fisch 2nd Anniversary Event.
You don’t need to purchase it from a regular shop or obtain it from a random drop.
Instead, you need to:
- Find the Birthday Cake near Moosewood.
- Catch different anniversary species.
- Submit the catches into the icing pool.
- Continue lighting the candles.
- Light all the candles.
- Claim the Birthday Candle Rod.
Make sure you complete this before the anniversary event ends.
Birthday Candle Rod Abilities
The Birthday Candle Rod also has special mechanics connected to the anniversary event.
You can re-light the candle to ignite your fish.
You can also drop cake on a lured fish for massive progress.
So, once you’ve unlocked the Birthday Candle Rod, make sure you test these mechanics because they make the rod different from a standard fishing rod.
Fisch Anniversary Pools
Another major part of the Fisch 2nd Anniversary Event is the Anniversary Pools.
These pools spawn periodically across different ocean regions.
Some of the locations include:
- Castaway Cliffs
- Forsaken Shores
- Roslit Bay
- Snowcap Island
The pools contain special anniversary fish, including rare pool-exclusive species.
You’ll also see a swimming Birthday Leviathan inside the Anniversary Pools, making them fairly easy to recognize.
Birthday Leviathan Anniversary Pools
When an Anniversary Pool appears, you’ll want to head over and start fishing as soon as possible.
The pools are temporary and contain species that aren’t available through normal fishing.
However, not every anniversary fish requires an Anniversary Pool.
Some anniversary catches can be found while fishing normally, so you can continue making event progress even when there isn’t an active pool.
Fisch Anniversary Luck Boost
There is also a small bonus you can take advantage of during the event.
Fishing near the Birthday Cake provides a slight Luck boost toward catching global anniversary items.
So, if you’re actively hunting anniversary catches, fishing around the Birthday Cake can be useful.
You’re already going to be visiting the cake to submit your catches, so you can combine the two activities.
New Fisch Anniversary Variant
A new variant is also scheduled to begin spawning during the anniversary event.
The new variant starts spawning on the 5th at 2:00 PM EST.
The timing is connected to the original release date of Fisch.
If you’re trying to collect all of the limited anniversary content, make sure you return around this time to look for the new variant.
Fisch 2nd Anniversary Rewards
The Birthday Cake contains more than 10 milestone rewards that you can unlock by lighting candles.
Submitting anniversary catches can give you:
- Cupcake Bait
- XP
- Candle progression
- Milestone rewards
- Birthday Candle Rod
The Birthday Candle Rod is the main reward to work toward, but the other milestone rewards are also worth collecting before the event disappears.
Fisch 2nd Anniversary Code
There is also an active code connected to the anniversary celebration.
Happy2ndYear
Fisch 2nd Anniversary Code: Happy2ndYear
Redeem the code as soon as possible because event codes can expire.
If you’re starting the anniversary event now, this should be one of the first things you do.
When Does the Fisch 2nd Anniversary Event End?
The Fisch 2nd Anniversary Event is available for a limited time.
According to the event announcement, the event will remain active until the 6th.
That means you have until then to work toward the event rewards and Birthday Candle Rod.
Before the event ends, try to:
- Redeem
Happy2ndYear - Catch anniversary fish
- Visit Anniversary Pools
- Submit unique species
- Light all the Birthday Cake candles
- Claim the Birthday Candle Rod

Best Way to Complete the Fisch Anniversary Event
If you’re starting the event from scratch, you can follow this simple route.
Start at Moosewood
First, head to the Birthday Cake connected to Moosewood.
This is where you’ll submit your catches and track your candle progress.
Redeem the Anniversary Code
Use:
Happy2ndYear
Getting the code reward out of the way early means you won’t accidentally forget about it.
Catch Unique Anniversary Fish
Start fishing for the limited anniversary species.
Check normal fishing locations while also watching for Anniversary Pools.
Visit Anniversary Pools
When an Anniversary Pool appears at locations such as Castaway Cliffs, Forsaken Shores, Roslit Bay, or Snowcap Island, head there and fish for the exclusive species.
Look for the Birthday Leviathan as a sign that you’ve found one.
Return to the Birthday Cake
Take your unique catches back to the Birthday Cake and submit them into the icing pool.
This is what advances your candle progression.
Light Every Candle
Continue collecting unique species until you’ve finished the candle progression.
Once all candles are lit, claim your Birthday Candle Rod.
Check Back on the 5th
Return on the 5th at 2:00 PM EST to check for the new anniversary variant.
Fisch 2nd Anniversary Event Tips
If you’re trying to finish the event quickly, there are a few things I’d keep in mind.
First, don’t only fish in one location. Anniversary Pools can appear in multiple regions, so keep an eye on the ocean while you’re playing.
Second, prioritize unique species for the Birthday Cake. The candle progression is based around unique species, so catching the same fish repeatedly isn’t the best way to progress.
Finally, don’t wait until the final day to start working on the Birthday Candle Rod. The event is temporary, and some of the catches and pools require you to wait for the right opportunities.
The Fisch 2nd Anniversary Event gives players a lot to work toward during its limited run. The Birthday Cake is the main hub, while Anniversary Pools provide special fish and the Birthday Leviathan adds another reason to explore the ocean.
If you’re trying to get the Birthday Candle Rod, focus on catching unique anniversary species and turning them in at the Birthday Cake until every candle is lit.
Don’t forget to redeem Happy2ndYear, check Anniversary Pools when they appear, and return on the 5th at 2:00 PM EST for the new variant.
Most importantly, finish your anniversary progression before the event ends on the 6th so you don’t miss the limited-time rewards.
