In the world of Fisch, the Prismize mutation stands out as one of the most powerful and visually stunning mutations for players focused on earning money. Classified as a rod-specific mutation, it cannot be obtained through appraisals and requires a very specific end-game tool. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know to unlock the Ethereal Prism Rod and start catching Prismize fish.
What is the Prismize Mutation?
The Prismize mutation is an extremely rare and highly sought-after effect. Its primary benefit is a massive 5.5x value multiplier applied to any fish that carries it. This makes it an ideal mutation for early to mid-game money farming, significantly boosting your income.
Visually, fish with the Prismize mutation are unmistakable. They have a partially transparent body covered in bright, shifting color patterns. These colors change every time you hold the fish, creating a distinctive, prismatic effect that makes the mutation easy to identify.
The Only Method: Using the Ethereal Prism Rod
The Ethereal Prism Rod is the only way to obtain the Prismize mutation. This Stage 9 fishing rod received significant buffs, including a price reduction from C$15,000,000 to C$3,500,000. Most importantly, every time you catch a fish using this rod, you have a 50% chance for that fish to have the Prismize mutation.
How to Unlock the Ethereal Prism Rod
Acquiring the Ethereal Prism Rod is an end-game challenge that requires you to reach a hidden area and complete a demanding task.
Step 1: Reach the Veil of the Forsaken
Travel to the final location, Mariana’s Veil.
Navigate through the cave systems until you reach the Calm Zone.
From there, follow the Rainbow River south until you find a cave entrance.
Inside, complete the obby (obstacle course) which leads to a locked gate.
Step 2: Open the Locked Gate
This gate requires a specific offering. You must donate three Exotic-tier fish that are caught in the preceding areas of Mariana’s Veil:
Magma Leviathan
Crowned Anglerfish
Frozen Leviathan
After donating all three, the gate will open, granting you access to the hidden sublocation: Veil of the Forsaken.
Step 3: Purchase the Ethereal Prism Rod
Inside the Veil of the Forsaken, you will find a room where the Ethereal Prism Rod is sold for C$3,000,000. However, you cannot simply buy it yet. You must meet two final requirements:
Reach Player Level 250.
100% complete the Veil of the Forsaken Bestiary.
