Fisch Great Dreamer Rod

Great Dreamer Rod is the most expensive rod available in the Second Sea, and while its raw stats may seem underwhelming at first glance, it carries a powerful passive that can provide free fish and rare mutations. Its potential for passive farming makes it a valuable endgame tool — though it’s not for everyone.

How to Get Great Dreamer Rod in Fisch

• Go to Cursed Shores: This late-game island holds the Great Dreamer Rod’s vendor.
• Head to the Tree: You’ll find the rod leaning against a tree at the highest point of the island.
• Price: The rod costs 500,000E$ and was originally intended to require all other Second Sea rods unlocked, though this was removed due to bugs.

Great Dreamer Rod Passive – Cthulhu’s Gift

• Free Fish Duplication: Every 2–4 catches, a mini version of Cthulhu appears to give you a free fish. On average, this happens every third catch.
• Mutation Bonus: Each catch has a 5% chance of applying the Cursed Touch Mutation, boosting sell value dramatically.

Rod Appearance

This rod’s visual design is otherworldly and cryptic. A glowing teal reel and golden-thread accents wind up toward a ghostly white bandaged center, and it ends with a sharp, teal-tinted scepter. At the very top is a tiny sculpted version of Cthulhu’s head, complete with glowing teal wings — a visual nod to the boss from which this rod draws inspiration.

Best Enchantments for Great Dreamer Rod in Fisch

• Quantum: 25% chance for fish to become Subspace, multiplying their value by 5×.
• Abyssal: 10% chance to apply the Abyssal mutation, boosting fish value by 3.5× — good alternative if Quantum is unavailable.
• Quality: +15 Luck, +15% Lure Speed, and +5% Resilience. A strong all-around boost.
• Mystical: +45% Resilience to counteract the rod’s somewhat weak base resilience.
• Resilient: +35% Resilience if you’re not using Exalted Relics.
• Hasty: +55% Lure Speed for even faster fishing.
• Swift: +30% Lure Speed if Hasty is not available.
• Clever: Useful for farming EXP if aiming for the new max level (2500).

Should You Use the Great Dreamer Rod?

Despite its powerful passive and beautiful design, the Great Dreamer Rod is not always the optimal choice. Many players find more consistent and cost-effective value from rods like the Free Spirit Rod or Azure of Lagoon, especially when paired with high-impact enchantments. If you’re farming E$ seriously, this rod can become a valuable part of your setup, but it’s not necessarily your first priority.

Trivia

• This rod was originally designed to require every other Second Sea rod before it could be purchased — but this requirement was removed, likely due to bugs.
• The rod draws visual and thematic inspiration from the Cthulhu boss fight.
• This rod was patched and finalized in update version 1.26.4.
