The Ollie the Otter Companion is one of the most interesting additions in the latest Fisch update. Unlike pets that you unlock through quests or shops, Ollie requires you to find it in the world and earn its trust by feeding it a fish.
If you’ve been searching around Terrapin Island without any luck, this guide will show you exactly where to find Ollie, what fish to use, and what the companion actually does after you unlock it.
How to Get Ollie the Otter Companion in Fisch (Location, Fish Required & Ability Guide)
The first step is heading to Terrapin Island.
Once you arrive, don’t climb to the top of the island. Instead, make your way toward the center underneath the island, where you’ll find a hidden water area.
Ollie can spawn in several spots around this underground section, so if you don’t see it immediately, swim around the nearby water until it appears.
This hidden area is currently the main place where players have been finding the companion.
What Fish Does Ollie Need?
Before trying to interact with Ollie, make sure you’re holding a fish.
Players have successfully unlocked the companion using:
- Red-Eye Bass
- Snook
- Other Bass-type fish
There isn’t an official confirmation that only one specific fish works, but Bass-type fish seem to be the most reliable option based on player testing.
It’s a good idea to bring a few different fish with you just in case.
How to Unlock Ollie the Otter
Once you’ve found Ollie, follow these steps.
Step 1: Hold a Fish
Equip one of the compatible fish from your inventory.
Step 2: Swim Under the Otter
Move directly beneath Ollie while staying in the water.
Step 3: Keep Moving
Swim around underneath the otter while continuously moving.
Many players also recommend clicking repeatedly during the interaction to help trigger it.
Step 4: Wait for Ollie to Take the Fish
After a few seconds, Ollie will automatically grab the fish from you.
Once this happens, the interaction is complete and the companion will be added to your collection.
If nothing happens, try moving around the otter a little more or use another compatible fish.
Ollie the Otter Description
After unlocking the companion, you’ll see the following description:
“A curious little otter with a knack for uncovering hidden treasures, always eager to lend a paw in his own mischievous way.”
The description hints that Ollie’s main purpose is helping players discover hidden rewards while fishing.
What Does Ollie Do?
While fishing with Ollie equipped, players have noticed several useful effects.
Helps Increase Fishing Progress
One of Ollie’s most noticeable abilities is boosting your fishing progress.
From time to time, the companion jumps into the water and temporarily speeds up your fishing progress, helping you reel in catches a little faster.
Can Discover Treasure
Ollie can also occasionally uncover a small treasure while you’re fishing.
Players have reported seeing a small rock or treasure object appear during fishing sessions.
To collect it, you’ll usually need to release your fishing rod and interact with the treasure before continuing.
Since this ability activates randomly, don’t expect it to happen on every cast.
Unlocking Ollie the Otter is fairly simple once you know where to look. Travel to the hidden area underneath Terrapin Island, bring a Bass-type fish such as a Red-Eye Bass or Snook, then swim beneath Ollie until it takes the fish from you. After that, the companion is permanently added to your collection.
Once equipped, Ollie can occasionally boost your fishing progress and even uncover hidden treasures, making it a fun and useful companion to bring along on your future fishing adventures.
