Quick answer: In Fish It’s Halloween 2026 update, the Resurrection Machine must be active for the new Forgotten fish to become catchable. The public announcement confirms that connection, but it does not publish the exact activation materials, timer, rod requirement, bait, or fish name. Check the live machine and your in-game Fishing Journal before spending resources or following an older Halloween route.

What does the Resurrection Machine do?
The Resurrection Machine is one of the systems introduced with Fish It’s Halloween 2026 event. The developer’s event information says the new Forgotten fish becomes catchable while the machine is active. That makes the machine’s state a gameplay requirement—not simply a decoration to inspect on Halloween Island.
The public event description does not provide a complete step-by-step activation recipe. This guide separates confirmed information from details that need to be checked in the live game, rather than inventing item names, countdowns, or drop rates.
How to use the Resurrection Machine: a safe step-by-step route
- Join a fresh server. Leave an older session and rejoin if Halloween Island or the event systems are missing.
- Travel to Halloween Island. Use the event access shown in your current game. Do not rely on a teleport route copied from the 2025 Halloween event, because the 2026 island and quest structure are different.
- Locate and inspect the machine. Read any visible interaction prompt, status label, or nearby quest text before clicking through.
- Complete only the requirements shown in your server. The public announcement does not verify a universal material list. Avoid spending rare fish, currency, or premium currency based on an unconfirmed fan checklist.
- Confirm that the machine is active. Look for a visible state change or an in-game message; do not assume that interacting once is enough.
- Open the Fishing Journal or collection index. Check the Forgotten entry and any condition displayed for it.
- Fish only after the condition is met. If the entry says the catch is tied to the active machine, keep that condition in mind while testing your fishing spot and gear.
What is confirmed—and what is not?
| Detail | Current status |
|---|---|
| Resurrection Machine is part of Halloween 2026 | Confirmed in published event information |
| A new Forgotten fish is catchable while the machine is active | Confirmed in published event information |
| Exact activation materials | Not specified publicly; check the live prompt |
| How long the active state lasts | Not verified publicly |
| Exact fish name, bait, rod requirement, or catch odds | Check the live Fishing Journal and event UI |
| Whether older Halloween locations or steps still apply | Do not assume they do |
How to avoid wasting time while hunting the Forgotten fish
- Take a screenshot of the requirement. Save the exact text so you can compare it after a server change.
- Keep rare catches until you check quests. A limited fish may be useful for progression; do not sell it automatically if a quest or machine prompt could need it.
- Change one variable at a time. If you test a different rod, bait, or fishing location, note what changed.
- Recheck the machine before long fishing sessions. Verify its state instead of assuming it remains active indefinitely.
- Be cautious with guaranteed-catch claims. No verified public drop rate is available in the announcement.
How the machine fits into the wider Halloween event
The Halloween 2026 update also lists Halloween Island, Igor’s Experiment and Spirit Lantern, Spirit Fishing, daily Trick or Treat interactions, The Last Delivery quest, a Halloween Battle Pass, Halloween Spins, and the Haunted Mutation. These are separate systems. Unlocking the Spirit Lantern does not prove that the Resurrection Machine is active.
For an efficient first session, inspect the event journal, pick up available questlines, complete the daily village interaction, and then return to the machine with a clear view of its current requirement. The Last Delivery quest is listed as awarding the exclusive Pizza Turbine Boat, but its steps should be followed from the live quest tracker.
Why the fish count differs across official descriptions
The public event listing and the game description have shown different totals for the new Halloween fish. One official surface lists 18, while the game description lists 15. Use the collection journal in your current server as the practical source of truth rather than treating either headline count as a complete checklist.

Third-party guides and screenshots can help with context, but live prompts should decide any unlisted activation requirement.
