Step by Step
- 1
Get diving gear and dive into the Desolate Deep
The Desolate Deep is a cave system under the First Sea. Its entrance is the buoy north of Sunstone Island (GPS -790, 125, -3100), where Advanced Diving Gear costs 15,000 C$. Watch out for the sea mines inside: touching one kills you.
- 2
Complete the Desolate Deep Bestiary
Catch every fish in the Desolate Deep section of your Bestiary. Opening the temple door yourself needs it.
- 3
Collect 5 Enchant Relics
Enchant Relics are a rare catch anywhere, or you can buy them from Merlin at the top of Sunstone Island once you are above level 30: 5 together cost 48,000 C$, or 11,000 C$ each one at a time.
- 4
Open the Tridents Temple
Sacrifice the 5 Enchant Relics at the altar door to open the Tridents Temple. When any player opens it, the door stays open for everyone in the server for 1 minute, and you can walk in and buy the rod even without the Bestiary.
- 5
Buy the Trident Rod for 150,000 C$
Follow the long golden corridor to the pedestal at the end (GPS -1485, -225, -2195) and buy the rod. With Merlin's 5-relic pack the rod and relics come to 198,000 C$; buying the relics one at a time makes it 205,000 C$.
Trident Rod Stats and Ability
- Atlantean mutation: each catch has a 30% chance to be Atlantean, which sells for 4x its normal value.
- Slash: on each fish movement there is a 25% chance to stab the fish, stunning it briefly and adding 6% progress. The slash ignores progress-speed penalties, so even evasive fish rarely fight back for long.
- Weak spots: its Lure Speed of +35% is slow, so bites take longer than on most rods at this price, and against high-rarity fish with progress penalties the slashes are less reliable. One of its Mastery tasks (catch 200 Mythical or Legendary fish with it) adds +35% Lure Speed.
- Also needed for: opening the door in Thalassar's Secret, the way to the Thalassar's Ruin rod.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you get the Trident Rod in Fisch?
Buy it for 150,000 C$ at the Tridents Temple in the Desolate Deep. The temple door opens after you complete the Desolate Deep Bestiary and sacrifice 5 Enchant Relics at it. If another player opens the door, it stays open for 1 minute and anyone can go in.
How much does the Trident Rod cost?
150,000 C$. You also need 5 Enchant Relics to open the temple. Merlin sells 5 Enchant Relics together for 48,000 C$, bringing the rod-and-relic total to 198,000 C$. Buying the relics individually at 11,000 C$ each instead brings that total to 205,000 C$.
Where is the Tridents Temple in Fisch?
Deep inside the Desolate Deep, the cave system under the First Sea behind Sunstone Island. Dive in at the buoy north of Sunstone Island (GPS -790, 125, -3100); the rod pedestal is at about -1485, -225, -2195.
Is the Trident Rod free?
No. It costs 150,000 C$ and the temple has to be opened first. It does not lie on the ground and does not respawn.
Is the Trident Rod worth it?
For the mid-game, often yes: +150% Luck, a 30% chance of the Atlantean mutation (4x), and a slash that stuns fish and adds progress. Its weak point is slow Lure Speed (+35%). You also need it to open the door in Thalassar's Secret for the Thalassar's Ruin rod.
