Are you eager to unlock one of the rarest and most powerful items in Fisch? Exalted Relics offer amazing upgrades, but obtaining them demands patience and strategy. In this guide, you’ll learn step by step how to get Exalted Relics, and how to use them to boost your fishing rod. I’ve broken it into clear sections so you can follow along easily.

Before chasing relics, it helps to understand what they do and why they matter. Exalted Relics are advanced relics in the game Fisch that let you apply Exalted Enchantments to your fishing rods—stronger than the normal enchantments you get from standard relics.
Because of their power, Exalted Relics are very rare. You don’t get them through normal play often. But once you have one, it can significantly improve your rod’s capabilities.
Two Ways to Acquire Exalted Relics
There are exactly two known methods in Fisch to get Exalted Relics:
1. Fishing (with low drop rate)
- You can fish anywhere in the game, just like you would to catch fish.
- The base chance of getting an Exalted Relic while fishing is 1 in 2000 (0.05 %).
- However, if you’re using the Rod of the Exalted One, your chance increases to 1 in 800.
- Importantly, this drop chance is not affected by weather, location, or your luck boosts.
- When it triggers, you’ll see a visual cue (like an icon or sound), and reeling it in slows your progress by 20%.
- This is the more passive way—just keep fishing and hope your luck strikes.
2. Completing the Keeper’s Secret quest
- This is a guaranteed but more involved path.
- You must collect seven mutated Enchant Relics, each with a different mutation (for example: Fossilized, Crystalized, Hexed, Translucent, Atlantean, Greedy, Mosaic).
- Take all these relics to the Keeper’s Secret location, typically found via Mushgrove Swamp. Place each relic on its respective pedestal.
- Doing this rewards you with three Exalted Relics and unlocks access to the Rod of the Exalted One.
- Note: you can only do this once, so it’s a one-time reward.
- After this, your chances of farming additional Exalted Relics improve (thanks to the better rod).
In short: fishing gives you chance over time; the quest gives certainty once, plus a tool that helps later.
Tips to Farm Exalted Relics Faster
Since the fishing drop rate is so low, here are tips to optimize your effort:
- Prioritize unlocking and using the Rod of the Exalted One as soon as possible. Its boost to drop rate (from 1/2000 to 1/800) is huge.
- Always keep fishing when you have free time—with repetition you raise your odds over many attempts.
- Don’t rely on external buffs (like weather boosts or luck boosts) for relic drops—they don’t affect Exalted Relics.
- Participate in in-game events or challenges, if any, that reward relics or increase fishing yields.
- Use your best rod (after enchantments) to reduce wasted time. Fishing faster means more attempts per session.
How to Use Exalted Relics
Getting relics is only half the battle. You also need to use them wisely.
- Go to the Keeper’s Altar
- This altar lies under the Statue of Sovereignty.
- You’ll need to pay a guardian NPC (Cole) about 400 cash to use the elevator to reach the altar area.
- It must be nighttime in-game (or you can use a sundial to change time) to activate the ritual.
- Hold the Exalted Relic & activate
- With relic in hand, stand at the altar pedestal and press the ‘use’ key (e.g. “E”) to apply an enchantment.
- It randomly assigns one of the seven Exalted Enchantments—you don’t know which you’ll get.
- After you’ve used Exalted Relics a few times, the system aims to avoid repeating the same enchantment until you’ve obtained all seven, increasing chances of new ones (e.g. 1/6 later).
- What enchantments can you get?
Here’s a sample list of the powerful enchantments available:- Immortal: +75% Luck
- Mystical: +45% Resilience
- Sea Overlord: +25% Fish Size
- Anomalous: 10% chance of duplicating fish into Anomalous mutation
- Quantum: 25% chance to trigger Subspace mutation
- Piercing: Fish get stunned during reeling
- Invincible: Use your rod in harsh zones like Brine Pool or Volcano
- Each of these gives your rod special advantages. Which one is “best” depends on your play style and which other upgrades your rod already has.
How to Plan Your Relic Journey
Here’s a simple plan to follow:
- Start fishing regularly and gather Enchant Relics, especially mutated ones needed for the quest.
- Once you have all seven mutated relics, complete the Keeper’s Secret quest. Get 3 Exalted Relics and unlock the Rod of the Exalted One.
- Use the Rod of the Exalted One to increase odds while fishing for more Exalted Relics.
- At night, visit the Keeper’s Altar and use relics to enchant your rods.
- Over time, aim to collect all seven different Exalted Enchantments for your ideal setup.
This path gives you a mix of guaranteed rewards and ongoing farming power.
Common Misconceptions and Warnings
- Exalted Relics don’t respond to luck boosts, weather, or time.
- You can’t farm the quest reward more than once.
- Applying an Exalted Relic may slow progress (–20%) when reeling it in.
- You can’t stack Exalted Relics with other relic types—use them only for exalted enchantment.
- Some players stress over picking the “perfect enchantment”—but since you can re-roll (with limits), accept randomness but aim over time.
