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 resources 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
The journey begins with finding The Keeper's Secret, a hidden location on a base island. Access is free, but finding it requires navigating Mushgrove Swamp.
Head straight inland from the Shipwright NPC. Upon encountering tall rocks, turn left. A visually distinct, darker-colored fake wall will be visible. Proceed cautiously through this wall into a small cave containing an elevator and a dangerous drop shaft. Careful elevator use is crucial to avoid a fatal fall. Reaching the elevator's bottom reveals The Keeper's Secret, featuring seven color-coded pedestals.
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
Acquiring these requires purchasing Relics from the Merlin NPC and appraising them during Mutation Surge events—a costly endeavor. Once all correctly mutated Relics are placed, the Rod of the Exalted One and three Exalted Relics are yours.
