Fisch's Northern Expedition Rods: A Complete Guide
Fisch constantly expands its impressive array of fishing rods, with the Northern Expedition update adding six powerful new tools. This guide details how to acquire each of these coveted rods. The Northern Expedition introduces a challenging climb up a treacherous mountain, requiring an Oxygen Tank and regular warming to survive the harsh conditions. But the rewards, including these six exceptional rods, are well worth the effort.
All Northern Expedition Rods:
- Arctic Rod
- Crystalized Rod
- Ice Warpers Rod
- Avalanche Rod
- Summit Rod
- Heaven's Rod
While some are readily available, others demand the completion of challenging quests. Let's explore how to obtain each one.
1. Acquiring the Arctic Rod:
Located at the base camp of the Northern Summit, the Arctic Rod is a straightforward purchase at 25,000C$. Its stats are surprisingly competitive for its price:

- Max Kg: 80,000kg
2. Obtaining the Crystalized Rod:
This rod requires a collaborative effort. First, catch two Glass Diamonds (found in Frigid Cavern or Overgrowth Caves). Then, locate the ice-encased Crystalized Rod in the ruins between the second and third camps. Two players must simultaneously stand on pressure plates, each holding a Glass Diamond, to melt the ice. The Crystalized Rod is then available for purchase at 35,000C$.

3. Unlocking the Ice Warpers Rod:
The Ice Warpers Rod is a high-value rod for its cost. To unlock it, you must activate all six hidden ice-covered levers using a lantern to melt the ice. The lever coordinates are:
