Fisch's Northern Expedition Rods: A Complete Guide
Fisch's fishing rods are constantly expanding, with the Northern Expedition update adding six powerful new options. 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 are worth the effort!
All Northern Expedition Rods:
- Arctic Rod
- Crystalized Rod
- Ice Warpers Rod
- Avalanche Rod
- Summit Rod
- Heaven's Rod
Some rods offer excellent stats at a reasonable price, while others, like the top-tier rod found atop the mountain, demand significant effort to obtain.
Obtaining the Rods:

2. Crystalized Rod:
This rod requires a cooperative quest. First, catch two Glass Diamonds (found in Frigid Cavern or Overgrowth Caves). Then, find another player and head to the ruins between the second and third camps.
