Catch The ASHCLAW Complete Guide and Max Level 1500 Rewards in Fisch

The recent small-scale update for Fisch serves as a crucial prelude to the highly anticipated Fischfright event next week. While minor in scope, the most significant inclusion is the new maximum player level, officially set at Level 1,500. This progression track unlocks a total of five exclusive rewards, and this ASHCLAW full guide in Fisch will detail every item. Additionally, we’ll provide the complete breakdown of the new Cataclysmic boss, the Ashclaw crab.
Max Level Progression: The Chromatic Rewards Roadmap
It should be noted immediately that no previous XP was being carried over. Everyone started the new progress curve at Level 1,000. While it was technically true that players who banked XP in their aquariums could start right away at the new cap, the standard starting point is Level 1,000.
Exclusive Rewards from Level 1,100 to 1,400
The first four rewards are all about the Chromatic cosmetic theme, RGB lighting, and performance.
The Max Level 1,500: The Cinderblock Rod
The final reward, available at Level 1,500, is the Cinderblock Rod.
Stats: It has a high -50% Lure Speed but features 100% Luck, 0.7 Control, and an incredible 1,000% Resilience (essentially infinite Max KG capacity).
Performance Analysis: Due to the very low Lure Speed, it is currently sub-optimal for realistic fishing. While high resilience catches large fish with ease, it does it too slowly. Speculations exist that the devs will maybe reattribute its stats in a future hotfix since the current version is not rewarding for max-level cap.
Where to Find and Catch the ASHCLAW Crab
The second major addition in this update is the new Cataclysmic boss monster, Ashclaw crab. The following guide will detail the spawn mechanics directly from the developers.
ASHCLAW Full Guide in Fisch: Boss Mechanics
The Ashclaw specifically appears in the Roslit Volcano area.
Spawn Location: The Ashclaw appears within the volcano crater itself.
Trigger Condition: The developer has confirmed that Ashclaw is a natural event requiring no player activation. There is some chance of it erupting spontaneously.
Increased Probability: The spawn chance is slightly higher for all players who are fishing at the moment inside the volcano.
Notification: On-screen notification tells players that "The Roslit Volcano has erupted" when the event begins.
Catch Difficulty: The Ashclaw has a minimum catch rate of -95%, which is about as hard to catch as a Skullla.
Other New Cataclysmic Fish
Aside from the Ashclaw, a handful of other Cataclysmic-level fish were introduced into the overall ocean environment. Their spawn mechanisms are identical to the Ashclaw: they are natural events with slightly increased spawn possibility when there are more players who have an active fishing game in the ocean.
Known Cataclysmic Fish (Preferred Lure: Meteor or Stag Beetle):
(Fish Name 1 - Unpronounceable)
(Fish Name 2 - Unpronounceable)
The Loose Gut
The Ashclaw's ideal lure, for those who are going after the boss, is Coal.
Historical Context: The Stone Hammer Rod
Players inquired regarding the Stone Hammer rod, which appeared on some servers. It must be clarified here that the rod is not a released or available reward from the developer. It was a transient item provided by the developer in a specific case of "admin abuse."
Stats: The rod has 100% Lure Speed, 100% Luck, 0.5 Control, 0 Resilience, and unlimited Max KG.
Status: It is highly likely this rod is no longer on the market and is a very rare collection item for those who were present when it was originally released.
All in all, while the final reward rod is a letdown, the Chromatic aesthetic rewards are great, and Ashclaw boss is a decent new high-level target. We're keenly anticipating the enormous Fischfright 2025 update coming next week, which is reported to be the largest update the game has ever seen.
