Exalt's Demise: Guide to Vanquishing WoW's Formidable Foe

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 in-game currency investment due to the rarity of required mutated items. This guide details how to obtain the Rod of the Exalted One.

Locating The Keeper's Secret

To acquire the Rod of the Exalted One, you must first discover The Keeper's Secret. This hidden location resides on one of the main islands. Access is free. Navigate to Mushgrove Swamp.

On this island, locate a camouflaged wall within the rocks. This can be challenging. Proceed directly from the Shipwright NPC into the island. Upon encountering tall rocks, turn left to find a darker-colored, subtly different wall. Pass through it carefully; the interior cave is small, containing only an elevator and a dangerous pit. A misstep into the elevator will result in a fatal fall. Successfully using the elevator leads to The Keeper's Secret, where seven color-coded pedestals await.

Solving The Keeper's Secret Puzzle

Place one Enchant Relic on each pedestal. However, only Relics with specific mutations will work:

• 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, naturally, requires substantial in-game spending.

Once all correctly mutated Relics are placed, you'll receive the Rod of the Exalted One and three Exalted Relics.
