The Northern Expedition update in FISCH for Roblox brings a significant challenge for players eager to collect the coveted Heaven Rod. This is no short journey—getting to the top and acquiring all necessary items requires patience and a fair amount of grinding. If you’re up for the challenge, this guide will walk you through every step, helping you navigate the Northern Expedition, gather the required crystals, and ultimately purchase the Heaven Rod.

Fisch Guide Accessing the Northern Expedition

To begin, you must head to the Northern Expedition, which is located to the right of the Terapin area, just past Moosewood. The Northern Expedition is not a limited-time event, meaning you can take your time to complete it. Once you enter the portal, you’ll arrive at the Northern Summit, the starting area for your climb.

Upon arrival, your first stop should be speaking to the inkeeper to the left. This NPC will be crucial for progressing through the mountain, and you’ll visit several of these inkeepers as you move forward. Next, locate the air tank refill station and a campfire that controls your temperature. Make sure you buy the winter cloak for 5,000 cash to protect yourself from the harsh cold, as this will keep you from dying to freezing temperatures.

1. Essential Gear: Oxygen Tanks and Rods

Your journey up the mountain requires more than just basic climbing skills. First, you’ll need to purchase an oxygen tank for 1,000 cash to survive at higher altitudes. This is located behind a merchant NPC and can be equipped like a backpack. Additionally, you can buy the Arctic Rod here, priced at 25,000 cash, though it has minimal stats and lacks a passive ability.

2. Collecting the Colored Crystals

The ultimate goal of the Northern Expedition is to collect four colored crystals scattered across the mountain. These are essential for unlocking the Heaven Rod, and each one will require some effort to obtain.

  1. Blue Crystal: Start by traveling through the linear path. When you reach the first cave, you’ll find an NPC holding the blue crystal. To obtain it, you’ll need a pickaxe, which can be bought at the second summit for 5,000 cash. Return to the cave and use the pickaxe to break the ice around the crystal.
  2. Green Crystal: As you continue, you’ll reach a split in the path. Take the left path and enter the cave to find the green crystal, awarded by an NPC behind an icicle.
  3. Yellow Crystal: Continue up the mountain until you encounter a boulder. You’ll need to trigger an avalanche (either naturally or by using an Avalanche Totem for 150k) to reach the yellow crystal. Once the avalanche occurs, jump down and collect it.
  4. Red Crystal: For this final crystal, you must search the other islands for five hidden buttons. These are located at Moosewood, Roset Bay, Forsaken Shores, Snowcap Island, and Ancient Isles. Each button must be pressed to unlock the red crystal, which costs 250k.

3. Puzzle Solving and Important Purchases

Throughout the mountain, you will encounter puzzles and essential purchases that will make your journey easier:

  • Two-player Puzzle: To obtain the Crystallized Rod, you’ll need a partner and a Glass Diamond. Stand on the corresponding plates in the cave, and the sunlight will reflect through your diamonds to unlock the rod.
  • Lever Puzzle: In the latter stages of your climb, you’ll find a series of levers. Be cautious, as leaving the server will reset your progress. To thaw a frozen lever, equip a lantern, which can be purchased from the Advent Calendar or from the Lantern Keeper in Moosewood.

As you ascend, remember to regularly replenish your oxygen and temperature. You’ll find refill stations at several points along the way. At the top, you can purchase an Advanced Oxygen Tank and an Advanced Glider, which are highly recommended for the final stretch.

4. Reaching the Vault and Unlocking the Heaven Rod

Once you’ve obtained all four crystals, head to the top of the mountain and locate the NPC holding the final red crystal. Insert each crystal into its corresponding slot to unlock the vault. From there, jump down to the ledge and glide over to the vault door. The door will open, allowing you to purchase the Heaven Rod for 1.75 million coins.


The Northern Expedition in FISCH is an exciting but lengthy challenge, requiring players to traverse harsh climates, solve puzzles, and gather essential crystals. While the process is intricate, following the steps outlined in this guide will ensure that you efficiently collect all the crystals and unlock the powerful Heaven Rod. Whether you’re in it for the challenge, the rewards, or both, the Northern Expedition is an adventure you won’t forget.
