Find Bloodgill Around Ghoul Tower
Catch Bloodgill in the waters around Ghoul Tower, choosing a fishing school whose population panel lists it and retrieving Rainbow Fin through the active fishing zone. Keep three Bloodgills intact and deliver them to Father Matthias at the barred doorway of his island house; his next request concerns a tuning fork.
Prepare Rainbow Fin Before Leaving
Rainbow Fin is the predator lure to prepare for Bloodgill. In Early Access v0.4.36, its recipe used 1 Fish Meat, 1 Metal Plate and 1 Chromatic Scales, crafted at a workbench. Gather the ingredients before sailing so you can concentrate on finding the correct school when you reach Ghoul Tower.
- Process spare fish in the Grinder to obtain Fish Meat for the lure. Use fish you can spare for crafting rather than catches you intend to deliver.
- Process peaceful fish in the Thresher to obtain Chromatic Scales. These supply the scales ingredient needed for Rainbow Fin.
- Search wrecks around the Trading Post and floating barrels for Metal Plate. Collect the material before returning to the workbench.
- Craft Rainbow Fin at the workbench using the gathered ingredients. This prepares the predator lure for your Bloodgill fishing trip.
Locate the School and Catch Bloodgill
- Travel to the waters around Ghoul Tower during daytime or dusk. These conditions match the Bloodgill fishing spot found in that area during Early Access.
- Inspect the fishing-school population panel before casting. Choose a school that lists Bloodgill so you are fishing for the species Matthias needs.
- Retrieve Rainbow Fin through the active fishing zone. Bloodgill is predatory, and the lure needs to move through that zone rather than remain stationary.
- Catch three Bloodgills for Father Matthias and keep them intact. Reserve those fish for delivery instead of selling them or turning them into crafting materials.
Check the School and Retrieve
Ghoul Tower is your landmark for the fishing area; the population panel tells you whether a particular school contains Bloodgill. If its name is missing, inspect another nearby school before spending time casting there. Once Bloodgill is listed, check that you are working Rainbow Fin through the active zone.
Keep the Quest Fish Safe
Fish can eat one another in the hold, so keep predators apart while organizing your catch. Keep the Bloodgills reserved for Matthias out of your planned sales and processing. Once your quest catch is ready, returning directly to his island is a sensible way to finish the delivery.
Deliver the Bloodgills to Father Matthias
- Return to Father Matthias’s island with three intact Bloodgills. Bringing the fish themselves prepares you for the handoff at his house.
- Give the Bloodgills to Father Matthias at the barred doorway of his house. This delivery advances his request beyond the fishing objective.
- Check that Matthias’s request has moved on to the tuning fork. That new objective is the sign that you can stop collecting Bloodgills for this delivery.
The continuation involves obtaining the shed key and retrieving the Fork. You then carry the Fork to the hilltop shrine, install it and finish the shrine objective. Follow that request once the fish handoff is complete.
