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 reward.

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 to Mushgrove Swamp.

From the Shipwright NPC, head straight into the island. Upon encountering high rocks, turn left. Look for a visually distinct, darker-colored fake wall. Proceed cautiously through this wall; the cave beyond is small, containing only an elevator and a dangerous drop shaft. Carefully use the elevator to avoid a fatal fall. At the bottom lies The Keeper's Secret, featuring seven color-coded pedestals.

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

Acquiring these mutated relics typically involves purchasing them from the Merlin NPC and appraising them during Mutation Surge events, a process requiring considerable investment.

Once you've gathered all seven correctly mutated relics, place them on their corresponding pedestals. This will reward you with the Rod of the Exalted One and three Exalted Relics.
