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 every one 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 well worth the effort!
All Northern Expedition Rods
Conquering the Northern Summit requires exploration and puzzle-solving to uncover all six rods:
- Arctic Rod
- Crystalized Rod
- Ice Warpers Rod
- Avalanche Rod
- Summit Rod
- Heaven's Rod
While some are readily available, others demand completing specific tasks. Let's dive into how to obtain each one.

2. Crystalized Rod
