Associated Quests

Feed the Great Colored Carp:
- Ring the nearby bell and feed the Great Carp with Precious Bait 2 times. You can feed it more but it's useless.
- Talk to the father and you'll get 4x Treasure Carp Scale. Feeding the carp also makes the carp not hostile so you can loot the items in the cave early, or just to not kill the Carp and get in the cave safely anyway.
- Talk to Pot Noble Koremori or Pot Noble Harunaga and get Truly Precious Bait
- Feed the carp the Truly Precious Bait you prefer
- Rest and talk to the Carp Attendant and he will be very upset, you can then port to pick up items from the pot nobles, and then go to the Bodhissatva Valley Idol (Sunken Valley Passage) to find the body of the Great Carp and 1x Great White Whisker.
- Then port back to Feeding Grounds and talk to him and give him the item. He is now free from his duties, and you will obtain 1x Divine Grass.
- Resting again will show him dead with his daughter by him. (Doing so will lock you out of his carp scales).

- Quest Progression optional dialogue
Notes & Tips
- Voiced by: ??
- Has a grab that does massive vitality damage.
- You can get a stealth deathblow if you sneak up behind him. Is vulnerable to another backstab after he kills you once while he is walking back to where he spawns.
Story & Lore
- The Carp appears to be a brocaded carp of the type Taisho Sanke or Showa Sanke. The Legend of the Dragon's Gate tells the story of carp that may transform into dragons if they can leap up a massive waterfall [4]. As a consequence, carp are considered symbols of success and transformation in Japanese culture.

you can use precious bait once and then truly precious bait instead of precious bait and still get both the rewards

I didn't get the scales after killing him right after he gave him the wiskers. It may be due to the fact that I had to use the Homeward Idol after he threw me off the platform.

His quest is sadly one of thos very... poorly thought out FromSoftware quest that couple a bunch of totally random elements you have not way to know (like the fact that the great carp will just show up in the monkey pound) and ultimately not only doesn't pay off, but actually pay less than just butchering a NPC for free loot.
Finishing the quest should have rewarded you for at least double what he would give you by simply killing him.

So something interesting happened here. (though I'm not sure if this is anything special, you decide)
I had never given normal bait to the carp
Only given the special bait
Gave the whiskers to the attentand, he got all sad.
Then I jumpkicked him once. His healthbar and deathblow markers showed up.
He didn't do anything though, anyway, I just rested at the idol. Attendant is dead on the floor as expected.
But he also dropped loot. 3x carp scale.
Does this always happen?
Posting this on both Great Colored Carp and Great Colored Carp Attendant, as I've not seen mention of this elsewhere.
If you do this right, The Attendant's daughter will clear mobs for you.
Ok so let's fast forward a bit through the standard plan...
1. Obtain Truly Precious Bait
2. Speak to Attendant.
3. Give fish Precious Bait
4. Speak to Attendant for free scale reward.
5. Rest, repeat steps 3 and 4
6. Decide that it's time to kill the fish
7. Give the bid bad Carp the truly Precious Bait.
8. Fast travel to Sunken Valley - Giant Ape's Watering Hole
9. Pick up whisker in front of dead fish
10. Fast travel back to Fountainhead Palace - Feeding Platform
11. Give the whisker to the Attendant to make him a sad boi
12. Exhaust Attendant Dialog
13. REST or TRAVEL AND RETURN
14. His daughter should appear and grieve his death
15. Once she shuts up, go to Fountainhead Palace - Palace Grounds
All of the mobs in the building immediately in front of you have now been killed. The Attendant's daughter is inside stabbing the last one repeatedly, though it already looks dead. She rambles that they tricked her father into serving his whole life with promises of eternity, now he is dead and gone, it was all a lie, bring him back. Then she either plays dead or An Hero's. Either way, cool scene, dead mobs.

You can feed the carp the truly precious bait as your second bait and he will still give you the three carp scales. Though be sure to use the truly precious bait last because the carp will swim away after you give it to him.

When it says he has the moveset of Chained Ogre, that also means he covers in fear when you use fire on him. There is no worth in killing him because you don't get anything besides a handful of Sen.
