If you’re trying to catch the new orca fish in Fisch, we thoroughly recommend grabbing the Rod of the Forgotten Fang. This nifty rod’s passive guarantees that you get the new fish on every third catch, making it the most reliable rod in the game.
How to Unlock the Rod of the Forgotten Fang in Fisch
The only way to get the Rod of the Forgotten Fang is to craft it. To do so, you will need to meet the following requirements and items:
- Level 750
- C$ 300,000
- Meg’s Fang x2
- Meg’s Spine x2
- Lunar Thread
Once you’ve gathered the required ingredients, you will need to visit the Ancient Isle and head on over to the Ancient Archives. You then need to complete the Eclipse event with three fellow players, and head to the crafting station inside.
Once there, craft the rod to get it.
Stats
Let’s take a closer look at the rod’s stats:
- Lure Speed: 78%
- Luck: 145%
- Control: 0.22
- Resilience: 25%
Passive Ability
The passive ability is the most notable feature of the Rod of the Forgotten Fang, as it provides you with a guaranteed chance to catch the orca during Orca Migration event.
- Megalodon: After three ‘Perfect Catches’, a Megalodon jumps out of the water carrying a higher rarity fish that you can catch. This ability also increases the size of fish by 15-20%.
Is Rod of the Forgotten Fang Worth It?
If you need or want to catch a ton of orcas, then this rod is absolutely essential. By using its passive ability, you can catch every single orca during the Orca Migration event every single time.
It’s also a fantastic rod in its own right, and is up there with some of the best rods in the game. So it’s worth crafting even if you’re not interested in catching orcas.
How to Complete the Eclipse Event and Access the Ancient Archives
First of all, grab three friends to join you. Now, gather four fragments that you need to participate in the event:
- Ancient: Random drop from fishing
- Solar: Collect from the Ancient Isle mountain during an Eclipse (6072, 444, 685)
- Earth: Head to the cave at the back of the Ancient Isle to purchase it (5961, 297, 850) – grab an Eclipse Totem here too
- Deep Sea: Head to a waterfall by the Ancient Archives (5843, 75, 383)
Finally, make sure to grab the Eclipse Totem while purchasing the Earth fragment and you’re good to go.
Next up, head on over to the Ancient Isle and head on over to the door for the Ancient Archives.
Here, you will find four pressure plates and spaces to drop the four fragments you’ve just collected.
Use the Eclipse Totem to trigger an Eclipse and have each player stand on a pressure plate and insert their fragment into the respective statue. They will rotate to face you, opening the patch to the Ancient Archives.
