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 quest's requirement for several uniquely 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 one of the base islands. Access is free. Navigate to Mushgrove Swamp. From the Shipwright NPC, head straight into the island. Upon reaching tall rocks, turn left. A visually distinct, darker-colored fake wall will be present. Proceed cautiously through this wall; the interior 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 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, necessitating a considerable financial investment. Once all correctly mutated Relics are in place, you'll receive the Rod of the Exalted One and three Exalted Relics.
