Fisch's Northern Expedition Rods: A Complete Guide
Fisch's fishing rods are constantly expanding, with the Northern Expedition update adding six powerful new options. This guide details how to acquire each of these coveted rods. The Northern Expedition introduces a challenging climb up a high mountain, requiring an Oxygen Tank and regular warming to survive the harsh conditions. But the rewards, including these six exceptional rods, are well worth the effort.
All Northern Expedition Rods in Fisch:
- Arctic Rod
- Crystalized Rod
- Ice Warpers Rod
- Avalanche Rod

Some rods offer excellent stats at reasonable prices, while others, like the top-of-the-mountain rod, demand significant effort to obtain.
How to Obtain Each Rod:

2. Crystalized Rod:
This rod requires a cooperative quest. First, acquire two Glass Diamonds (found in Frigid Cavern or Overgrowth Caves). Then, find another player and go to the ruins between the second and third camps.

3. Ice Warpers Rod:
This powerful rod requires activating all six hidden levers (melted with your lantern) scattered across the mountain. The levers can be activated in any order except the last one. Only after activating all five others will the final lever reveal the Ice Warpers Rod's purchase location (coordinates below) for 65,000C$.
