If you logged into Fisch expecting Harpoon Guns this week, you probably noticed they weren’t there. The developers have officially delayed the feature, but they didn’t leave players empty-handed. Instead, this minor update introduces a hidden Chapel, a brand-new Crowbar questline, another Desolate Deep secret, several quality-of-life improvements, and a free redeem code.
While it isn’t the massive content drop many players were waiting for, there’s still plenty to explore before next week’s major Harpoon Guns update.
Fisch Minor Update Guide – Chapel, Crowbar Quest, Codes
The biggest addition in this update is the mysterious Chapel, which can be found beyond the Illusory Veil.
This isn’t a place you can simply walk into. You’ll first need to unlock access by interacting with the Crystal Cove waterfall using specific mutated Enchant Relics.
Once you’ve opened the path, you’ll discover a sanctuary filled with special challenges designed for experienced players.
The Chapel focuses less on catching fish and more on proving you’ve mastered some of the game’s legendary equipment.
Complete Legendary Rod Questlines
Inside the Chapel, you’ll find several questlines connected to Legendary Rods.
Each quest has its own objectives and progression, so expect to complete different challenges rather than repeating the same tasks over and over.
These quests are meant to test your understanding of the game and reward players who have invested time into collecting powerful rods.
If you’re looking for long-term goals after finishing the main content, these questlines should keep you busy.
Unlock Five Exclusive Rod Skins
Completing the Chapel challenges rewards you with five exclusive rod skins.
Each cosmetic is tied to its own objective, meaning you won’t unlock everything at once.
You’ll need to complete the associated challenges individually before each skin becomes available.
Although they’re cosmetic rewards, they’re exclusive to this content, making them a nice badge of accomplishment for dedicated players.
The New Crowbar Quest
Another major feature is the introduction of the Crowbar Quest.
You’ll meet a character named Doug, who has apparently decided that robbing scientists isn’t the best career choice after all.
Your job is to help convince him to move on by gathering valuable gems and crafting materials throughout the world.
After finishing the quest, you’ll receive the Crowbar as a reward.
The developers also hinted that the Crowbar isn’t just another collectible—it will be required for future adventures, so it’s worth unlocking now rather than waiting until later updates.
New Secret in Desolate Deep
Players who enjoy hunting secrets have another mystery to uncover.
A wise and elderly Horseshoe Crab has appeared inside Desolate Deep.
The developers haven’t revealed exactly what role this character plays, which means players will need to explore and experiment to discover everything connected to this hidden NPC.
If previous Fisch secrets are anything to go by, there may be more to this encounter than first meets the eye.
Bug Fixes and Quality of Life Improvements
This update also includes a healthy list of fixes that improve the overall gameplay experience.
Some of the most noticeable improvements include:
- Anglers have been fixed once again.
- A bug causing certain rod passives to reroll mutations has been resolved.
- Location ambience now works correctly.
- Crystal Cove music has been fixed.
- The Laboratory now has its proper location.
- Confirmation pop-ups have received visual improvements.
- Custom fishing animations load more consistently.
- The Flameslasher rematch now correctly supports custom Reel GUIs.
- Rod skins with aura effects now remain visible even while the rod is unequipped.
- Rod skin accessories now properly disappear when entering first-person view.
None of these changes completely alter gameplay, but together they make the game feel much smoother and more polished.
New Fisch Code
Don’t forget to redeem the newest code before it expires.

Harpoon Guns Delayed Until Next Week
The developers also addressed the feature everyone has been waiting for.
Unfortunately, Harpoon Guns have been delayed by one week.
The team apologized for the delay and asked players to keep their expectations high because the upcoming update is expected to be significantly larger than originally planned.
According to the announcement, next week’s update will include:
- The long-awaited Harpoon Guns feature.
- Major reveals related to The Deep.
- Additional leaks and previews leading up to the release.
If everything goes according to plan, next week’s update should be one of the biggest Fisch updates in recent months.
Although this is labelled as a minor update, it adds several worthwhile activities. The hidden Chapel introduces fresh endgame challenges, the Crowbar quest unlocks an item that will matter in future updates, and the new Desolate Deep secret gives explorers another mystery to solve.
On top of that, the long list of bug fixes makes everyday gameplay feel noticeably better. While Harpoon Guns will have to wait a little longer, the developers have made it clear they’re aiming to deliver a much bigger update next week, making this a good time to prepare before the new content arrives.
