The Headless Horseman quest in Fisch challenges you to enter the chapel, find Baby Nessie, and bring it safely outside. It sounds simple at first, but the chapel has a tricky mechanic that can send Baby Nessie back into hiding if you move at the wrong time.
In this guide, we will explain how to complete the rescue objective and what to watch for while carrying Baby Nessie. Once you understand how the chapel’s flickering lights work, the first part of the quest becomes much easier to handle.
We will also cover the follow-up fishing challenge, which requires you to catch five fish in a row during the chapel’s flickering phase. If you are working toward completing the Headless Horseman’s quest, here is how to approach both objectives.
Fisch Headless Horseman Quest Guide – Rescue Baby Nessie
First, find the Headless Horseman inside the chapel and speak to him to begin his quest.
Choose the dialogue option “I’ll bring your Baby Nessie back.” Your objective is to enter the chapel, pick up Baby Nessie, and carry it outside.
Once the quest begins, head into the chapel and look for Baby Nessie. Approach the companion and interact with it to pick it up.
How to Rescue Baby Nessie
The main challenge is carrying Baby Nessie through the chapel without making it panic. If you move at the wrong time, Baby Nessie can become frightened and scurry back into hiding.
Stop Moving When the Lights Flicker
The most important rule is simple: stop moving when the chapel lights begin flickering or moving erratically.
Follow these steps:
- Enter the chapel and locate Baby Nessie.
- Pick up Baby Nessie using the interaction prompt.
- Start moving through the chapel while the lights are calm.
- When the lights begin flickering, stop moving immediately.
- Wait until the dangerous lighting phase passes before continuing.
- Repeat this process until you carry Baby Nessie safely outside.
Do not try to rush through the chapel while the lights are moving. If Baby Nessie panics and returns to hiding, you may need to approach it and pick it up again.
The key is to watch the lights rather than focusing only on your character’s movement. Move during safe periods and remain still during the flickering phases.
How to Complete the Five-Fish Chapel Challenge
After completing the Baby Nessie rescue, the next objective requires you to catch five fish in a row during the chapel’s flickering phase.
This challenge requires careful timing because the catches must form a consecutive streak.
Steps to Complete the Fishing Objective
- Head to the fishing area used for the chapel challenge.
- Equip your fishing rod and begin fishing.
- Watch for the chapel lights to flicker.
- Catch fish during the required flickering phase.
- Continue until you have caught five fish consecutively to complete the objective.
Pay close attention to the timing of each catch. The requirement is not simply to catch five fish at any time; the catches must be made in a row during the chapel’s flicker.
Tips for Completing the Quest
- Watch the lights: Their movement tells you when to stop during the rescue.
- Be patient: Wait for the flickering phase to end before moving again.
- Pick Baby Nessie up again if needed: If it panics and hides, return to it and try again.
- Focus on consecutive catches: The fishing objective requires five fish in a row during the specified phase.
- Avoid rushing: Taking your time makes it easier to react to both the rescue mechanic and the fishing challenge.
The Headless Horseman’s quest in Fisch is mainly about timing. To rescue Baby Nessie, pick it up inside the chapel and stop moving whenever the lights begin to flicker. Continue only when it is safe, and carry Baby Nessie outside to finish the rescue.
Afterward, prepare for the next objective by catching five fish in a row during the chapel’s flickering phase. Keep an eye on the timing, stay patient, and you should have a much easier time working through the quest.
