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 acquiring it isn't a walk in the park. This quest demands significant time and in-game currency due to the rare mutations required. Let's delve into how to obtain this coveted prize.
Finding The Keeper's Secret in Fisch

Navigate the island, heading straight from the Shipwright NPC. Upon reaching the high rocks, turn left. You'll spot a visually distinct, darker-colored fake wall. Carefully pass through; the cave beyond is small, containing only an elevator and a dangerous shaft. Avoid falling into the shaft by cautiously entering the elevator. Reaching the bottom, you'll discover The Keeper's Secret—a chamber with seven color-coded pedestals.
Solving The Keeper's Secret Puzzle

- Greedy Relic
- Translucent Relic
- Atlantean Relic
- Crystalized Relic
- Hexed Relic
- Mosaic Relic
- Fossilized Relic
The most efficient method is purchasing Relics from the Merlin NPC and appraising them during Mutation Surge events. This, however, necessitates a substantial in-game 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.
