Unlocking the Rod of the Exalted One in Fisch: A Comprehensive Guide
Only a handful of fishing rods in Fisch are freely obtainable through quests. The Tides of Gold update introduced a new free rod, but acquiring it requires significant time and in-game currency investment due to the rarity of the required mutated items. This guide details how to obtain the Rod of the Exalted One.
Locating The Keeper's Secret
To acquire the Rod of the Exalted One, you must first discover The Keeper's Secret. This hidden location is situated on one of the main islands. Access is free. To reach it, navigate to Mushgrove Swamp.
On this island, locate a camouflaged wall within the rocks. This can be challenging to find without knowing its precise location. Proceed directly inland from the Shipwright NPC. Upon encountering tall rocks, turn left; you'll find a darker-colored, visually distinct false wall. Pass through carefully; the cave beyond is small, containing only an elevator and a dangerous drop shaft. Avoid falling down the shaft by carefully using the elevator to reach The Keeper's Secret, where seven color-coded pedestals await.
Solving The Keeper's Secret Puzzle
Seven uniquely mutated Enchant Relics must be placed on the pedestals:
- Greedy Relic
- Translucent Relic
- Atlantean Relic
- Crystalized Relic
- Hexed Relic
- Mosaic Relic
- Fossilized Relic
The most efficient method is purchasing Relics from the Merlin NPC and appraising them during Mutation Surge events—a costly endeavor. Once all correctly mutated Relics are placed, you'll receive the Rod of the Exalted One and three Exalted Relics.
