Candy fuels every spooky success in Fisch’s FischFright event – and the fastest players know the shortcuts. Here’s how to stockpile sweets quicker than a ghost can blink.
How to Obtain Candy in Fisch FischFright Update
To obtain candy in the Fisch FischFright Update, head to Crook’s Hallow island via the Flying Dutchman near Moosewood or the Frightful Mirror in your backpack. Hold the Candy Bucket, approach house doors, and press E to trick-or-treat for 20-35 candies per visit, with timers between houses. Complete quests from unique NPCs like Pumpkin Paul or Vlad by delivering specific fish or items for hundreds to thousands of candies, and pull up Frightful Crates in nearby waters for 5-10 more as a bonus. Submit Witch’s Ingredients to the pot for small amounts, repeating across doors, quests, and crates to build your total quickly.
Before you move into the detailed methods, make sure you are on Crook’s Hallow island in Fisch. You can go there by interacting with the Flying Dutchman NPC standing on a green ghost ship near Moosewood. Alternatively, you can use the Frightful Mirror from your backpack to transport yourself to Crook’s Hallow directly.
As you step into Crook’s Hallow, notice the bottom right corner of your screen to check the number of Candies you currently have. Every player starts the Fisch FischFright event with 0 Candy, so this is your chance to be at the top. Now, you can follow the methods explained below to earn Candy in Fisch.
1. By Trick or Treating
Having landed on the new island, open your backpack by pressing the ‘G‘ key. Now search for the Candy Bucket item, and hold it in your hand. Now all you need to do is go to the houses spread across the island with number plates outside and knock on their doors.
Do note that you must hold the Candy Bucket in your hand and then press the ‘E‘ key once close to the door. After this, an NPC opens the door and asks you for Trick or Treat. Don’t worry, because whatever the NPC suggests, you’ll get Candies in both cases. Sometimes, you can be lucky enough to get the limited-time fish from the new bestiary.

2. From Completing Various FischFright Quests
The second way is by talking to several NPCs on the Crook’s Hallow island. So, look for unique NPCs other than the ones that say Fisch Fright Fan, and they will give you certain tasks or quests. For instance, you’ll find one such NPC named Vlad to the right of the Witch’s area, who asks you to bring him a Vampire Perch.
All you need to do is walk up to them, press the ‘E‘ key to interact, and they’ll describe their problem along with the items they require. You can either choose to fish for such items from the nearby waters or simply knock on the doors and get them with less effort.
These items can be required in their original state, or sometimes, you might need to appraise their attribute to make them ‘Shiny’. Once you get the correct item, submit it back to the respective NPC. This way, you get lots of Candies at once, and hence, it is the best way to earn this new currency.
Here is the list of NPCs and their quests available in FischFright and how much candy they give:
| NPC | Quest | Candy |
|---|---|---|
| Ghost | Give a Sparkling Ghost Minnow | 440 |
| Jeremy | Give an Xtra Sour Gummy Pack | 150 |
| Jack Skellington | Give a Coffin Crab | 200 |
| Evil Clown | Give a Shiny Mourning Manta Ray | 750 |
| Pumpkin Paul | Give a Jack-o-Lantern | 750 |
| Vlad | Give a Vampire Perch | 200 |
| Silas | Give a Skeletal Nessie | 1500 |
| Lilith | Give a Baby Nessie | 1000 |
| Pete | Give a Shiny Gummy Guppy | 400 |
| Edris | Give a Scarecrow | 750 |
| Willow | Give a Kelpie | 550 |
| Vincent | Give a Marshmallow Mackerel | 200 |
| Elara | Give a Sparkling Candy Corn Cod | 350 |
| Selene | Give a Spider Salmon | 200 |
| Jasper | Give a Shiny Werewolf Walleye | 400 |
| Patchen | Give a Shiny Candle Carp | 400 |
3. From Submitting Items to the Witch’s Cauldron
The third way to earn Candy is by submitting the items required by the Witch. As you use the Frightful Mirror and spawn at the Crook’s Hallow, the Beatrix Witch will be located right in front of you. Walk up close and interact with her.
The Witch will tell you about an eeeeeeeevilish Goblin who stole all her Brew ingredients. You must therefore retrieve them and submit those inside the cauldron. These ingredients can be found across all the islands in the main world, such as Mushgrove Island, Forsaken Shores, and more.
At regular intervals, a notification will pop up on top of your screen indicating the arrival of the Goblin. So, make sure you keep a lookout for that, and the moment you spot the location, head straight for that island. Upon finding the Goblin, it will ask you to do a small challenge and in return, give you the witch’s ingredient.
4. Frightful Crate
Finally, you could also catch some Frightful crates around the waters of the Crook’s Hallow island to find a handful of Candies inside. At times, they can also give you new fish from the FischFright bestiary, so it’s a pretty low-effort way to get small amounts of candies alongside fishing.
How to Use Candy in Fisch FischFright Update
Candy collected during the FischFright update can be exchanged at the event shop for special rewards such as limited costumes, gear, and unique bait. Players can also use candy to craft themed cosmetic items or trade it with others for valuable materials. Some event challenges require specific amounts of candy to progress, so saving a portion instead of spending it all at once can help complete tasks faster.
Now that you know all the ways to get Candy in Fisch, it’s time to find out what they can be used for. Since Candy is the currency for the Crook’s Hallow island, you can buy all the FischFright exclusive items here.
At regular intervals, you might notice the Flying Dutchman appear near the island like a Traveling Merchant. Once he spawns, find the massive ship to find any three items from the list given below available for purchase:
- Lolipop
- Frightful Relic
- Eerie Relic
- Spooky Relic
- Scylla Mask
- Frightful Pool Totem
- Megalodon Mask
- Red Frightful Skull
- Purple Frightful Skull
- Orange Frightful Skull
- Bat Whisperer Rod
- Dusekkar Rod
Best route to trick-or-treat on Crook’s Hallow for max candy
The best trick-or-treat route on Crook’s Hallow maximizes candy by hitting all numbered houses efficiently, accounting for their 10-minute cooldowns per door and leveraging fast travel tools like gliders or Glimmerflint Boots.
Starting Point
Begin at Witch Beatrix near spawn (front area) for easy access to initial doors. Equip your Candy Bucket (hotbar slot 2 recommended) and wear the Megalodon Mask if purchased to boost yields by 20-50% per knock.
Optimal Loop Route
-
Head straight to the first cluster of doors near Beatrix’s signs for 20-42 Candy each.
-
Circle counterclockwise around the green house, then climb the stone staircase to the costume area doors.
-
Continue up to the higher paths, hitting elevated houses before gliding down to side doors near the mansion (avoid main entrance to save time).
-
Loop back via the lit-path houses on the outskirts, ending near spawn for quick NPC quest checks or goblin teleports.
Efficiency Tips
Use the Frightful Mirror or glider for shortcuts between clusters, and track cooldowns mentally since doors reset island-wide after ~10 minutes. Combine with passive Frightful Crate fishing nearby for extra candy while waiting.
Which NPC quests give the most Candy on Crook’s Hallow
NPC quests on Crook’s Hallow offer the highest candy payouts in the FischFright event, far surpassing trick-or-treating or crate openings. Prioritize those requesting rare Shiny, Sparkling, or event-specific fish for maximum rewards.
Top Candy Quests
Vlad’s quest tops the list at 1,500 Candy for a Vampire Perch. Silas and Lilith both reward 1,000 Candy each for Skeletal Nessie and Baby Nessie, respectively.
High-Value Alternatives
Evil Clown and Jack Skellington (or Edris variants) grant 750 Candy for Shiny Mourning Manta Ray, Coffin Crab, or Scarecrow. Willow’s Kelpie yields 550 Candy, while Ghost’s Sparkling Ghost Minnow provides 440 Candy.
Completion Strategy
Catch required fish in Crook’s Hallow waters using bait suited to their depths (e.g., Maggots for Perch), appraise for Shiny/Sparkling if needed, then return to the NPC. Quests reset after completion, enabling repeats for ongoing high yields.
