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 demands significant time and in-game currency investment due to the rarity of required mutated items. This guide details how to obtain the coveted Rod of the Exalted One.

Locating The Keeper's Secret

To begin your quest for the Rod of the Exalted One, you must first discover The Keeper's Secret. This hidden location is situated on one of the game's main islands. Access is free, requiring no in-game purchases. To reach it, navigate to Mushgrove Swamp.

On this island, locate a camouflaged wall within the rocks. This can be challenging without prior knowledge. Proceed directly inland from the Shipwright NPC. Upon encountering tall rocks, turn left to find a visually distinct, darker-colored false wall. Pass through carefully; the interior cave is small, containing only an elevator and a dangerous drop shaft. A misstep into the shaft results in immediate death. Successfully using the elevator leads to The Keeper's Secret, where seven color-coded pedestals await.

Solving The Keeper's Secret Puzzle

Each of the seven pedestals requires a uniquely mutated Enchant Relic:

• Greedy Relic
• Translucent Relic
• Atlantean Relic
• Crystalized Relic
• Hexed Relic
• Mosaic Relic
• Fossilized Relic

The most efficient method involves purchasing Relics from the Merlin NPC and appraising them during Mutation Surge events. This strategy, however, necessitates a considerable financial investment.

Once all correctly mutated Relics are obtained, place them on their corresponding pedestals to receive the Rod of the Exalted One and three Exalted Relics.
