In the captivating world of Fisch, only a handful of fishing rods are freely obtainable through quests. The Tides of Gold update introduced a new free rod, the Rod of the Exalted One, but don't let the "free" label fool you. Unlocking it demands significant time and resources, requiring several uniquely mutated items.
Finding The Keeper's Secret in Fisch
To acquire the Rod of the Exalted One, you must first locate The Keeper's Secret. This hidden location is situated on one of the base islands, accessible without any cost. Begin your journey in Mushgrove Swamp.
Navigate to the island, heading straight from the Shipwright NPC. Upon reaching the high rocks, turn left. You'll spot a darker, subtly different-looking fake wall. Walk through it carefully; the cave beyond is small, containing only an elevator and a perilous shaft. Avoid falling into the shaft by cautiously entering the elevator. Reaching the bottom will lead you to The Keeper's Secret, where seven color-coded pedestals await.
Solving The Keeper's Secret Puzzle
The puzzle requires placing seven uniquely mutated Enchant Relics onto the pedestals:
- Greedy Relic
- Translucent Relic
- Atlantean Relic
- Crystalized Relic
- Hexed Relic
- Mosaic Relic
- Fossilized Relic
The most efficient method involves purchasing these Relics from the Merlin NPC and appraising them during the Mutation Surge event—a process requiring considerable investment. Once all seven correctly mutated Relics are placed, you'll receive the coveted Rod of the Exalted One and three Exalted Relics.
