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. This guide details how to obtain the Rod of the Exalted One, a free but challenging-to-acquire item.

Locating The Keeper's Secret

The journey begins at The Keeper's Secret, a hidden location on a base island in Mushgrove Swamp. Access is free. From the Shipwright NPC, head straight onto the island. Upon encountering high rocks, turn left to discover a darker, subtly different-looking fake wall. Proceed cautiously through this wall; the inner cave is small, containing only an elevator and a dangerous drop shaft. Careful elevator use is crucial to avoid a fatal fall. Reaching the bottom reveals The Keeper's Secret, featuring seven color-coded pedestals.

Solving The Keeper's Secret Puzzle

Seven uniquely mutated Enchant Relics are required to activate the pedestals:

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

Acquiring these often involves purchasing Relics from the Merlin NPC and appraising them during Mutation Surge events, demanding considerable investment. Place all correctly mutated Relics onto their corresponding pedestals to receive the Rod of the Exalted One and three Exalted Relics.
