Beat the Exalted One, Conquer Fishing Isle

Unlocking the Rod of the Exalted One in Fisch: A Comprehensive Guide

Only a select few fishing rods in Fisch are obtainable for free via 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 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 reaching tall rocks, turn left. A visually distinct, darker-colored fake wall will be noticeable. Proceed cautiously through this wall; the interior cave is small, containing only an elevator and a dangerous pit. Carefully use the elevator to avoid a fatal fall into the pit. The Keeper's Secret, with its seven colored pedestals, awaits at the elevator's destination.

Solving The Keeper's Secret Puzzle

Seven uniquely mutated Enchant Relics must be placed on the pedestals:

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

Acquiring these requires purchasing Relics from the Merlin NPC and appraising them during Mutation Surge events—a costly endeavor. Once all correctly mutated Relics are placed, the Rod of the Exalted One and three Exalted Relics are rewarded.
