The Dreambreaker Rod is the last one you will unlock in the Cultist Lair update. Obtaining this one requires you to complete an entire questline and, therefore, won’t be an easy task even for the late-game fischers. But this rod has a great money-making passive that will surely attract you. So, jump right in and find out how you can get the Dreambreaker Rod in Fisch, and what enchantments can be applied to bring out the best in it.
How to Unlock the Dreambreaker Rod in Fisch
The Dreambreaker Rod can be obtained by completing the whole questline of ‘The Restless One‘ NPC at the Cultist Lair in Fisch. Once inside this area, head over to the NPC to the right of the central pool and interact with him by pressing the ‘E‘ key. His first task will be to hand him the Dreamer’s Amulet, but it won’t just stop there. So, to make things easier for you, we have given below the whole list of quests that The Restless One will give you in the same order:
1. Return the Dreamer’s Amulet
To make the Dreamer’s Amulet in Fisch, players must first complete the side quests of all other NPCs in this location. Completing them will give you the following Amulet Fragments:
- Maelira’s Amulet Fragment
- Eldran’s Amulet Fragment
- Kareth’s Amulet Fragment
- Sythra’s Amulet Fragment
- Varn’s Amulet Fragment
Once you have all these fragments, head to the last level, that is, the Sanctum area of the Lair, to find the Amulet NPC. Interact with her to finally get the Dreamer’s Amulet. Now, you can head back to the Restless One to hand him the item.
2. Return a Lucid Enchant Relic
Now, this quest and most of the others below will require you to craft the Lucid Rod first. It can be made in the Ancient Archives once you have the Lunar Thread, Lucid Reel, the Cursed Torch Scrap Metal, and 80,000C$.
Next, you can fish anywhere in the game to get an Enchant Relic with the Lucid mutation on it. Currently, there is no other way of getting this mutation, nor can you appraise it as well. Having found the Relic with the mutation on it, you can return it to the NPC.
3. Return a Lucid Speed Core
This quest will require you to fish in the waters near Sunstone Island, where the Speed Core can be caught. However, you will definitely require the Lucid Rod first, and then you can fish to get the Speed Core with the Lucid mutation.
4. Return a Lucid Cathulid
With the Lucid Rod, you must fish in the pools of either the Hall of Whispers or the Passage of Oaths, inside the Cultist Lair. These are the only places where you can catch the Cathulid in Fisch.
5. Return a Phantom Cathulid
In this quest, you need to get the Eidolon Rod first from the Sanctum area in Fisch. Having interacted with all the Obelisks in the Cultist Lair will give you access to the Eidolon Rod that you can purchase by paying 5,000,000C$.
With the rod, you can fish in the waters of the Hall of Whispers and the Passage of Oaths to get the Pahntom Cathulid. Since there is a 35% chance of the rod applying the Phantom mutation, it will be an easy task.
6. Return a Lucid Leviathan or a Profane Leviathan
Now, for this task, you must head to the Sanctum, where you must manually summon a Leviathan Hunt event. To summon the event, the following fishes are required to be placed on the pedestals around the pool:
- Solarblaze Cathulid
- Nova Cathulid
- Rainbow Cluster Cathulid
- Aurora Cathulid
- Purified Cathulid
Once all these fishes are placed on the pedestals, a Leviathan Hunt event will occur, along with a 10% chance to summon the Profane Leviathan Hunt event. So, you can either wait for the latter or use a Lucid Rod to catch the Leviathan and get a Lucid mutation on it. Once done, return to the NPC and submit it to him
After this quest is completed, you can talk to the Restless One NPC again, and he’ll offer the Dreambreaker Rod, only if you give him 10,000,000C$ and you’re level 500 and above.
