The Fisch Venue Encore starts on Saturday, October 31 at 16:00 UTC (12 PM ET, 9 AM PT, 4 PM UK) in the Underground Music Venue, and its official Roblox event listing runs until Monday, November 2 at 17:00 UTC. The developers have not said what the Encore adds. The listing’s description is just “…”. The name and the location point back to May’s Venue Takeover, the update that filled the venue with quest NPCs and limited developer rods.
Below: the exact times in your time zone, what is officially confirmed, what the Takeover added last time (and how long it actually stayed), and a checklist to get ready before Halloween afternoon. Checked October 30, 2026, 15:05 UTC.

Quick answer
- Start: Saturday, October 31, 16:00 UTC, per the Fisch Roblox event listings.
- Listing ends: Monday, November 2, 17:00 UTC. With the Takeover, the listing ended after two days but the NPCs stayed for about 11 weeks.
- Where: the Underground Music Venue below Crystal Cove. The listing’s subtitle names it, the same as the Takeover’s did.
- What’s in it: not announced. The listing is tagged as an “expansion”, and its teaser image shows a silhouetted performer under red stage lights.
- Get ready now: find your way into the venue (Depths route plus a Chaotic Enchant Relic), keep your rods, and push your level. The Takeover’s best rods needed Level 1000.
- Halloween overlap: FischFright 3 keeps running until November 9, 17:00 UTC, so the Encore doesn’t cut your Halloween grind short.

What is officially confirmed about the Venue Encore
Fisch posts its update schedule as Roblox event listings on the game page. Here is everything the official listing says, checked October 30 at 15:05 UTC:
- Name: Venue Encore, subtitle “Underground Music Venue” (the Takeover’s listing used the same subtitle).
- Category: “expansion”.
- Description: “…” only. The Takeover’s listing said only “???” before launch, so a blank teaser is normal for this game.
- Timing: created October 18. The developers edited it again on October 30 at 14:51 UTC, so details may still be added.
- Interest: 52,680 players had RSVP’d “going” when we checked. The Takeover’s listing finished at 88,075.
Nothing official says which NPCs, rods or quests the Encore brings. An “encore” is a return performance, and it lands in the room the Takeover used, so the obvious reading is that some Takeover content comes back. That is our reading of the name, not a confirmed feature. Other sites have no leaks either. Plan for returning questlines, but don’t buy anything on that bet.
What the Venue Takeover added (May 2, 2026)
According to the official wiki’s version 1.82 changelog, the Takeover went live on May 2 at 16:00 UTC. It added 8 rods, 13 mutations, 14 NPCs, the Brine Storm Totem and Rivet’s Motorcycle boat. Most of the rods came from NPCs in the venue. Today the wiki marks all of them as no longer obtainable.
| NPC | Rod | Stage / level needed | What the questline asked for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reaper | SOULREAPER | Stage 10 / Level 1000 | A Shiny, Sparkling, Darkened Rubber Ducky, then mutated catches with specific rods, then soul pieces delivered to hidden ghost NPCs |
| The Guide | Castbound | Level 1000 | 10 Shiny Flying Fish (perfect catches), 150 perfect catches in the Shimmer area of Vertigo, then presenting a long list of rods |
| Luneth | Remembrance | Stage 9 / Level 1000 | Forgotten Orca, Glowy Penguin (crab cages), then butterflies with many different mutations |
| Rivet | Steampunk Rod | Stage 8 | Junk items (Rusty Bolt, Broken Gear, Scrap Metal) in mutated forms, then 75,000 studs on the motorcycle |
| Seraphel | Wingkeeper | Stage 8 / Level 424 | Four mutated catches, mostly from the Above the Clouds area |
| Axel | Acidgrinder | Stage 7 | Brine Pool catches, including a Brine Sovereign during a Brine Storm |
| BasePart | Part | Stage 5 / Level 1 | Three quick catches: Exploded Tire, Part Rock, Part Blue Whale |
| Simon (Hawaii) | Lullaby | Stage 10 / Level 500 (wiki: obtainable at 700) | A separate secret questline in the new Hawaii sub-location |
Stages and levels are from the official Fischipedia rod pages (archived copies). Quest steps are from the guides Roonby (May 3) and DungeonPath (May 16, updated August 28) published during the event. The Encore may change any of these if they return.

How long did the Venue Takeover last?
Much longer than its listing. The May listing ran only from May 2 to May 4, but the NPCs stayed. The July 20 balancing update (1.93.1) removed BasePart, Axel, Seraphel, The Guide, Luneth and Rivet, about 11 weeks after launch. The wiki now lists the Reaper as a former NPC too.
So the November 2 date is most likely the end of the launch window, not a hard deadline. But Fisch never promised the Takeover a fixed run either, and nothing says the Encore will copy it. If something limited shows up on Saturday, treat it as urgent.
How to get into the Underground Music Venue
You must already be able to reach the room when the Encore starts. The route, according to Beebom, DungeonPath and the official wiki:
- Jump into the Strange Whirlpool with the beam of light in the ocean to reach Vertigo.
- Get through Vertigo into The Depths. The Depths door needs a Depths Key, fished from Vertigo’s central pit.
- Follow the carved path to the far side of The Depths and enter the cave to Crystal Cove (around 1302, -701, 1604).
- Place a Chaotic Enchant Relic (an Enchant Relic with the Chaotic mutation) on the black pedestal.
- An opening appears behind the pedestal. Drop through it into the venue (the wiki lists its GPS as 2015, -645, 2460).
The Chaotic Enchant Relic is where most players get stuck. Get one before Saturday, not during launch hour.
What to do first: Venue Encore checklist
- Do the route once today. Make sure you have the Depths Key and a Chaotic Enchant Relic, and that you know the way down.
- Push your level. Three of the Takeover’s rods needed Level 1000 and the Lullaby at least 500. If old questlines return with the same gates, every level helps.
- Don’t sell or trade rods away. The Castbound quest asked players to present a long list of older rods. Keep your collection.
- Keep mutated junk and relics. Rivet and the Reaper wanted mutated Rubber Duckies, bolts, gears and scrap metal. Don’t sell them this weekend.
- Join a new server after 16:00 UTC on October 31. Update content usually only shows in servers started after the update.
- Read the patch notes first. If the Encore adds new questlines instead, the official wiki’s version history will list them within hours. Our table above only shows what came last time.
Venue Encore vs FischFright 3: what ends first?
| Fisch event | Start (UTC) | End (UTC) |
|---|---|---|
| FischFright 3 (Halloween) | Oct 17, 16:00 | Nov 9, 17:00 |
| Venue Encore | Oct 31, 16:00 | Nov 2, 17:00 (listing) |
| Companion Hats | Nov 14, 17:00 | Nov 16, 17:00 (listing) |
The Halloween event outlasts the Encore listing by a week. If you’re still chasing Treats, the FischFright 3 rods and relics guide has the full ritual order, and the Headless Horseman quest guide covers the Baby Nessie companion. A good plan: try the Encore on Saturday to see what it is, then split the week between the two.
