  • A Desrt Flat Terrain Mode & Speedometer Update Guide

    The latest update for A Desrt brings a set of exciting improvements that completely change how players test and tune their vehicles. The addition of Flat Terrain Mode, a functional Speedometer Gauge, and an updated Rocket Turbine Stabilizer feature allows players to perform more accurate speed and handling experiments. Here’s an in-depth look at each part of this update and how to make the most out of it.

    1. Flat Terrain Mode Overview

    Previously, A Desrt’s environment was known for its steep terrain—great for off-road fun but not ideal for accurate testing. That changes with the Flat Terrain Mode.

    How it works:
    When you enable Flat Terrain Mode, the older Steep Terrain Mode is automatically disabled to prevent conflict between the two.

    Result:
    The ground becomes almost completely flat — about 99% level, according to in-game testing. This eliminates most hills and bumps, creating the perfect environment for:

    Acceleration tests

    High-speed trials

    Stability experiments

    Best use case:
    Use this mode when you’re testing new car builds or engine setups. The flat terrain ensures no environmental interference, providing accurate speed data and consistent performance results.

    2. New Speedometer (Speed Meter) Feature

    The new Speedometer, referred to as the Speed Meter in the Sandbox menu, allows you to measure a vehicle’s true top speed in real time.

    Attaching the Speed Meter:
    You can mount it inside your car’s interior dashboard for a realistic look. Once attached, it will automatically measure the vehicle’s movement speed in kilometers per hour (km/h).

    Player Speed Test:
    Even when you hold the speed meter while walking, it detects your walking speed (around 16 km/h), showing that the system measures speed accurately for all motion types.

    Accuracy Comparison:
    When tested with the SMC Microcar, the Speed Meter displayed a top speed of 106 km/h, matching the car’s actual digital speedometer. This confirms that it’s more reliable than older analog speedometers used in earlier Dusty Trip vehicles.

    Reset Function:
    The blue button on the speedometer resets the current recorded speed — ideal for back-to-back vehicle testing.

    3. Testing Vehicle Stability on Flat Terrain

    To verify terrain quality, the player tested the rocky surface areas while in Flat Terrain Mode:

    • The ground remained slightly uneven but not disruptive.
    • Even standard wheel setups maintained 20 km/h average speed across rocky patches.
    • The car stayed stable without crashes or loss of traction.

    Result: Flat Terrain Mode offers a safe and smooth environment for testing even high-powered vehicles like those equipped with V8 engines.

    4. Rocket Turbine Stabilizer Button (Yellow Button)

    The rocket turbine system has also received an update introducing new stabilizer control buttons:

    Yellow Button: Toggles the stabilizer system.

    • When inactive, the rocket turbine maintains a straight line.
    • When activated once, the rocket turns sharply to the right.
    • Pressing it twice deactivates the system.
    • Pressing again causes the rocket to turn right once more (no left rotation behavior yet).

    Effect on Flight:
    Activating the yellow button while launching causes the turbine to shake, roll, and sometimes explode — so it’s mainly for experimentation rather than controlled flight.

    This feature adds a layer of physics-based chaos for players who enjoy rocket experiments or testing stability limits.

    5. Additional Notes and Future Features

    • Rocket Terrain Test:
      High-speed runs across rocky areas in Flat Terrain Mode showed minimal instability, confirming that vehicle performance remains consistent even at higher speeds.
    • Upcoming Neon Light System:
      Developer Dixmin teased a new feature allowing players to attach cars to neon lights using cable-based connectors. While details are limited, it appears to be a customizable visual addition rather than a mechanical one.

    This update focuses heavily on precision testing and realistic data tracking — perfect for players who like to fine-tune their vehicles or create speed benchmarks. The Flat Terrain Mode creates an ideal testing ground, while the Speed Meter provides exact numerical speed readouts, and the Rocket Turbine Stabilizer adds experimental depth.

  • Forsaken Killer Tier List [year] [month] – Guest 666 UPDATE

    This Forsaken Killer Tier List is opinion-driven but grounded in observable kit strength, map interaction, counterplay options, and how recent changes affect a killer’s ability to pressure, secure kills, and control loops. It assumes typical matchmaking with a mix of player skill and does not re-rank every killer simply because a single new survivor (Veronica) exists — instead it highlights which killers are more impacted when Veronica is present.

    Important context:

    Veronica’s mobility and graffiti-based playstyle can make certain killers feel much weaker in matches where she’s present and skilled. That’s discussed separately in the “Veronica effect” section.

    New guest (Guest 666 / “Sixer”) and Cool Kid received notable mechanical changes; those affect tiering more than minor tune-ups to other killers.

    Forsaken Killer Tier List [year] [month]

    S Tier: Sixer (Guest 666), Nollie, (and a small set of killers that remain dominant in most lobbies).

    A Tier: Cool Kid (moved up after QoL buffs), John Doe.

    B Tier: Slasher, many mid-tier killers that received small adjustments but remain situational.

    C / lower tiers: Killers with poor loop control or whose strengths are highly map-dependent.

    This guide explains why each placement makes sense and gives practical counterplay and playstyle tips.

    The “Veronica effect” — how the new survivor changes certain matchups

    Veronica introduced two elements that alter the meta:

    1. High aerial mobility (jumping/tricking) — allows her to bypass many traditional loops and window traps.
    2. Graffiti mechanic — creates mobile escape nodes that can be used repeatedly to kite and reset chases.

    Practical consequences:

    • Killers that require predictable ground-chase windows or rely on short-fence traps suddenly struggle when Veronica can repeatedly “phase out” of a prescribed chase path.
    • Veronica indirectly nerfs killers who can’t zone or force her to destroy her own graffiti (because she will place it ahead as she flees).

    How to deal with Veronica as a killer:

    • Priority focus: If a Veronica gets free setup time, she can snowball. Consider targeting her first or immediately destroying graffiti you find to limit her options.
    • Pressure & timing: Interrupt her self-heal with hits rather than giving her safe windows to recover.
    • Map awareness: If you spot graffiti being placed, remove it. If your kit allows you to force her to the ground (stuns, area denial), use those options.

    Verdict: Veronica is powerful and matchup-dependent; she increases the effective skill ceiling for survivors and makes map control more valuable for killers.

    Killers called out in the update (notes, changes, and placement reasoning)

    Sixer (Guest 666) — S Tier

    Why S:
    Sixer’s kit is unique and oppressive: lunging primary, pounce traversal, sonar-like ability that reveals survivor positions through walls, aura-reading, and a resource-based “Blood Hunt” mode that massively amplifies combat effectiveness. Blood Hunt slows the global timer, buffs abilities, grants stealth to the killer and reduces many counters.

    Strengths

    • Extreme close-range lethality; can convert small windows into kills.
    • In Blood Hunt, many defensive tools (including stuns) are neutralized.
    • Mobility through pounce enables map pressure and chase resets.

    Weaknesses / counters

    • Size and reach: Sixer is the largest killer, which makes them vulnerable to tight short loops and sharp cornering where their swing can get stuck.
    • Distance matters: if you keep long range and force short corner loops, Sixer’s big lunge and hitboxes become liabilities.
    • Sentinels and well-timed stalling abilities (or teammates who can kite while others stealth) help mitigate their potency when not in Blood Hunt.

    Practical survivor tips

    • Favor short tight loops, not long wide loops.
    • Use windows and corners that punish large hitboxes.
    • Coordinate stalling and mobility—Sixer is hard to solo-kite for long.

    Cool Kid — A Tier (moved up)

    Why A:
    Quality-of-life changes made Cool Kid more consistent. Base movement speed and walk-speed override were improved; clone aura visibility helps decision making; minion behavior buffs make minions more useful for searching/stalling; animation changes reduce penalty on misses and increase survivability after slashes.

    Strengths

    • Better minion utility: minions now contribute more reliably to pressure.
    • Less punishing misses: reduced in-lag and stun immunity windows for recovery improve play flow.
    • Higher base speed → closes gaps more consistently.

    Weaknesses / playstyle notes

    • Still requires smart use of minions and timing; misses still cost but are less punishing.
    • Best when using minions to control space and force mistakes.

    Result: Cool Kid’s changes improved reliability, justifying their move into A tier for overall play.

    John Doe — A Tier (unchanged in many contexts)

    Why A:
    John Doe remains solid. No large nerfs/changes in this patch. Effective baseline kit and good utility keep them in A. They remain particularly strong when Veronica is absent.

    Veronica matchup: Worse when Veronica is skilled and widely using her aerial mechanics—John’s traps and zoning are less effective if Veronica bypasses them.


    Slasher — B Tier

    Why B:
    Slasher got small adjustments (stun time, minor mechanical tweaks) but remains middling. The kit is serviceable but struggles to create consistent high-value chases. The small buff to stun time and immunity to gashing wound are welcome but not transformative.


    Nollie — S Tier (unchanged)

    Why S:
    Nollie received only a minor hitbox equalization but remains potent. The high skill ceiling and strong kit justify S placement. Minor changes do not materially reduce their dominance.

    General map and matchup strategies (killer and survivor guidance)

    For killers

    • Destroy Veronica’s graffiti whenever possible. Removing her tools early limits her escape options.
    • Focus high-impact targets: If a survivor is repeatedly escaping with guaranteed setup time (e.g., Veronica), consider focused pressure to deny that advantage.
    • Short loops vs long loops: Against large-hitters (Sixer), force short, uneventful loops. Against smaller, highly mobile killers, choose wide loops that allow more running room.

    For survivors

    • If playing Veronica: Place graffiti in escape-running corridors and prioritize mobility. Use self-heal sparingly and only when safe; always plan an escape path with another graffiti ready.
    • If facing Sixer: Prioritize short cornered loops; avoid open ground and wide turns that allow pounces to connect.
    • If facing Cool Kid: Break minion line-of-sight and focus on isolating the killer away from minion utility to reduce pressure.

    Quick-change log (this patch)

    Veronica: nerfed self-heal cooldown, reduced starting battery, graffiti HP reduced to 5 and adjacent graffiti destruction on graffiti destruction, minor skate mode numbers adjusted (phase stacking removed). In practice she remains strong but slightly easier to handle with active graffiti destruction.

    Cool Kid: speed increased, minion behaviour improved, reduced windup penalties, visibility of clone auras, reduced miss penalties — net positive improvement.

    Sixer (Guest 666): retains strong kit; some ability numbers were tweaked/nerfed but the core identity (Blood Hunt, pounce, sonar) remains dominant.

    Slasher, John Doe, Nollie: small tune-ups — no major archetype shift.

    Full Tier List (post-update)

    These placements reflect the video’s perspective and the transcript’s emphasis on how each killer performs in the current patch:

    S Tier

    • Sixer (Guest 666) — extreme close-range dominance; Blood Hunt is a huge swing.
    • Nollie — continues to outclass many killers in skilled hands.
    • (Other S-tier killers from the community meta remain depending on your server; this list focuses on the killers called out.)

    A Tier

    • Cool Kid — moved up due to QoL and minion improvements.
    • John Doe — remains a reliable A-tier pick in normal lobbies.

    B Tier

    • Slasher — small tweaks only; still situational and requires favorable conditions.

    C / D Tier

    • Killers that are very map-dependent or whose kit is countered heavily by Veronica and similar mobility builds.
  • Weak Legacy 2 Breathing Style Tier List (Update 5.75)

    With Update 5.75 introducing the long-awaited Flame Breathing V2, the meta for Weak Legacy 2 has shifted significantly. Some older styles got nerfed, others reworked, and a few have climbed higher in relevance. Below, you’ll find the most accurate breathing tier list for PvP and overall combat strength, reflecting the current patch balance.

    D Tier

    Water Breathing V1

    Water Breathing V1 has unfortunately fallen far behind. Despite having several moves, none of them deliver meaningful pressure or combo potential anymore.

    • Water Surface Slash: Decent animation but lacks range and impact.
    • Striking Tide: Poor hitbox tracking and easily punishable.
    • Waterfall Basin: Extremely short range and perfect-blockable.
    • Constant Flux: The finishing move feels underwhelming and deals minimal damage.

    Even for beginners, Water V1 struggles to hold up. Its short range and poor scaling make it one of the weakest breathings in the game.


    C Tier

    Sun Breathing V1

    While Sun Breathing V1 comes with five moves, most of them are easily countered.

    • Clear Blue Sky and Raging Sun are underwhelming and blockable.
    • Burning Bone Summer Sun is perfect-blockable, and only Hinokami Kagura provides real value.
      Without consistent pressure or combo synergy, it stays mid-tier.

    Love Breathing

    Love Breathing features flashy moves but lacks strong combo chains.

    • First Love is blockable.
    • Love Pangs can break blocks but requires good aim.
    • Cat Love Shower and Wild Claw have decent animations yet are inconsistent in hit detection.
      Overall, Love Breathing is stylish but situational, more about flair than effectiveness.

    Serpent Breathing

    Serpent Breathing sits comfortably in the lower mid-tier range.

    Winding Serpent Slash and Venom Fangs are average in power.

    Coil Choke is a solid combo extender and unperfect-blockable, which is its saving grace.
    Still, limited moves and mid-range make it less threatening compared to top-tier breathings.


    B Tier

    Sound Breathing

    Sound Breathing offers a balanced, skill-dependent toolkit.

    Roar is excellent for starting combos but lacks reach.

    Constant Resounding Slashes helps chase opponents effectively.

    String Performance and Musical Score both deal decent damage but don’t look visually strong.
    Overall, it’s an underrated choice that rewards good timing and spacing.

    Flower Breathing

    Flower Breathing is another solid mid-tier pick.

    Its ultimate and mode with dodges provide strong defensive utility.

    Great for players who prefer reactive fighting styles and evasion-based gameplay.

    Thunder Breathing

    A classic mid-tier option that remains consistent.

    Thunderclap and Flash and Sixfold are excellent combo starters.

    Thunder God is unblockable and chases enemies well.
    While its moveset is small, its combo speed makes it reliable in capable hands.

    Wind Breathing

    Wind Breathing offers great versatility.

    Dust Whirlwind Cutter and Black Mountain Mist are blockable but useful for zoning.

    Clear Storm Wind Tree and Cold Mountain Wind deliver steady damage.

    Eden Typhoon, the final move, elevates this breathing by adding strong combo setups.
    Though it’s not ideal for grinding, it performs consistently in PvP.

    A Tier

    Water Breathing V2

    After its nerfs, Water V2 remains a strong, balanced breathing — but no longer dominant.

    Still provides solid defense and combo chains through perfect blocking.

    The last move, though nerfed, was once S-tier material.
    In skilled hands, Water V2 can challenge even S-tier styles, making it an excellent A-tier contender.

    Insect Breathing V2

    The rework transformed Insect Breathing from mediocre to elite-tier quality.

    Can switch between Horsefly, Butterfly, and Bee modes for unique buffs.

    Applies poison damage, stacking additional DPS.

    Works incredibly well with poison-related clans, giving it burst potential and adaptability.
    This breathing narrowly misses S-tier only because of the learning curve.


    S Tier

    Mist Breathing

    Mist Breathing’s rework made it one of the strongest in the current meta.

    The final move delivers exceptional damage and comes with two variations, offering safety even if you miss.

    Stun potential is high, allowing you to follow up with devastating combos.
    Every move is polished and efficient — it’s easily one of the most rewarding breathings for skilled players.

    Sun Breathing V2

    Still among the most broken styles in the game, Sun V2 dominates PvP.

    High burst output and multiple combo options.

    Hard to counter in close quarters.
    While it can be outdamaged by Moon Breathing in raw numbers, its PvP control is unmatched.

    Moon Breathing

    Moon Breathing continues to reign supreme as the strongest in the game.

    Insane damage output.

    Excellent combo pressure and range coverage.
    Its only weakness is accessibility — few players can use it effectively, but those who can, dominate matches effortlessly.

    Flame Breathing V2

    The brand-new Flame V2 rework is the highlight of Update 5.75.

    Vastly improved from its original version (which was D-tier).

    The final move alone deals massive burst damage if timed correctly.

    Outstanding combo potential and high scaling.
    It can arguably rival Moon and Sun V2, placing it among the top 3 breathings in the entire game.

    Verdict: Flame V2 is now meta-defining — the perfect blend of high damage, utility, and combo synergy.

    Final Tier List

    Tier Breathing Styles
    S Flame V2, Moon, Sun V2, Mist, Insect V2
    A Water V2
    B Thunder, Wind, Flower, Sound
    C Love, Serpent, Sun V1
    D Water V1

    Weak Legacy 2’s breathing balance has improved dramatically in Update 5.75. Flame V2 and Mist dominate the new meta, while previously strong options like Water V2 have settled into more balanced spots. Whether you prioritize damage, combo play, or mobility, the current patch offers strong choices across multiple tiers — but if you’re chasing pure power, Flame V2 and Moon Breathing are your best bets.

  • How to Get the Holdfast Car in A Dusty Trip

    The Holdfast is one of the newer cars introduced in A Dusty Trip, and you can obtain it for free by exploring the Desert Map and completing a short objective. Here’s how to unlock it step by step.

    Step 1: Travel to the Ranch

    Head out into the Desert Map and drive (or walk) roughly 6,100 meters away from your spawn point. Eventually, you’ll come across a ranch building sitting out in the open sands — this is your main destination.

    Keep an eye out for enemies along the way; the desert tends to spawn mutants frequently.

    Step 2: Defeat the Mutant for the Key

    Near the ranch, you’ll find a mutant guarding the area. To access the building, you must defeat this mutant — it will drop a key once destroyed.

    Pick up the key and approach the main ranch door.

    Step 3: Unlock the Ranch

    Use the key to unlock and open the ranch door. Inside, you’ll find the Holdfast car waiting for you. Once the door is open, the vehicle becomes yours permanently — congratulations, you’ve unlocked the Holdfast!


    Holdfast Car Overview

    The Holdfast car is modeled after the 2007 Holden Ute (VF variant), a sporty two-seater utility vehicle from Australia. The VF styling is reflected in its front bumper and overall shape, closely matching the real model’s appearance.

    • Seats: 2 (Driver + Passenger)
    • Fuel Capacity: 18 Liters (default start)
    • Speedometer: Digital
    • Headlights: Button located beneath the radio on the dashboard
    • Trunk: Fully functional, includes a trailer hitch at the rear
    • Radio: Classic design but non-functional in modern sense

    Note: The passenger seat position is aligned correctly, but there’s a known walkie-talkie bug — touching it can cause your character’s hand to get stuck. This is a minor issue in the current version of the game.

    Performance Test

    Top Speed

    • Measured in-game top speed: 137 km/h
    • Actual stable top speed: ~89 km/h

    Despite the digital speedometer reading higher, the effective driving speed caps around 89 km/h, which places it in the mid-performance range for vehicles in A Dusty Trip.

    Acceleration

    • 0–100 m in: 8.3 seconds
      Acceleration is surprisingly decent, making the Holdfast capable of handling quick desert escapes or fast travel between landmarks.

    Fuel and Maintenance Consumption (per 5,000 m)

    • Gas Used: ~1 L (from 18 → 17 L)
    • Engine Oil Used: ~0.2 L
    • Radiator Water Used: ~1.6 L

    While gas and oil consumption are efficient, the radiator usage is notably high, so keep an eye on your water levels during longer trips.

    Verdict: The Holdfast performs fairly well overall. It’s balanced in acceleration and speed, though its radiator efficiency could be better.

    New Weapon – Six Shooter Revolver

    Alongside the Holdfast, the update introduces the Six Shooter Revolver, a compact and stylish sidearm that packs serious damage.

    Weapon Stats

    • Magazine Size: 6 rounds
    • Reserve Ammo: 48 rounds
    • Reload Type: Manual cylinder reload

    Damage Testing

    • Headshot Damage: 99 (nearly an instant kill on mutants)
    • Body Shot Damage: ~70
      This makes the Six Shooter roughly equivalent to the Deagle in raw power — capable of one-shot headshot kills and high burst damage at close range.

    The Holdfast car is a great free vehicle for explorers who want reliable speed and solid acceleration, though you’ll need to manage radiator water carefully. Pair it with the Six Shooter Revolver, and you’ve got both mobility and firepower covered for long desert runs.

  • How to Get Darkened Ancient Wood Fast in FISCH (Roblox)

    The Darkened Ancient Wood is one of the rarest catchable materials in FISCH, and it’s essential if you’re trying to progress through the Cultist Lair and unlock deeper secrets on your fishing journey. This guide will walk you through exactly how to find, catch, and use Darkened Ancient Wood efficiently — including gear prep, location, and drop mechanics.

    1. What Is Darkened Ancient Wood?

    Darkened Ancient Wood is a special mutated version of Ancient Wood.

    • It’s used to unlock the next sealed door inside the Cultist Lair.
    • You can’t obtain it through normal fishing without specific gear.
    • It’s part of the Noir enchantment item chain, tying into the game’s darker progression paths.

    Type: Rare Mutated Material
    Use: Unlocks deeper areas within the Cultist Lair
    Mutation: “Darkened” variant of standard Ancient Wood

    2. Required Equipment

    To have a chance of catching Darkened Ancient Wood, you’ll need:

    A. Noir Enchantment

    • Essential for catching Darkened or Cursed variants of materials.
    • Noir increases your odds of hooking mutated (shadow-themed) resources.
    • Can be applied to mid-tier and high-tier rods.

    Without Noir, you’ll only pull normal Ancient Wood, so this enchantment is non-negotiable.

    B. Reliable Fishing Rod

    • Any rod capable of supporting enchantments will work, but higher-tier rods provide faster catch rates.
    • Recommended rods: Deep Sea Rod or Abyssal Rod (if available in your progression tier).

    3. Best Location — Sunstone Island

    The only confirmed fishing spot for Ancient Wood (and its Darkened mutation) is around Sunstone Island.

    How to Get There:

    1. Travel to Sunstone Island from your world map or fast travel point.
    2. Head to the coastal edges and cast your line in deep water zones around the island.
    3. Use the Noir-enchanted rod and focus on patient reeling — Ancient Wood has a low bite rate, and the Darkened version is even rarer.

    Tip:

    • The darker the water hue (typically near cliffs or deepwater borders), the higher your chance of catching Ancient-tier materials.

    4. Catching Process

    1. Equip your Noir-enchanted rod.
    2. Cast your line in deep waters around Sunstone Island.
    3. Wait patiently — it might take multiple catches before Ancient Wood appears.
    4. Once you land Ancient Wood, check the item’s mutation tag:
      • If it says “Darkened Ancient Wood”, you’ve caught the rare variant.
      • If not, keep casting — Noir doesn’t guarantee mutations every time.

    Average Attempts: 5–15 catches per Darkened Ancient Wood, depending on RNG and rod tier.

    5. Using Darkened Ancient Wood

    After catching the item:

    • Head to the Cultist Lair, an area tied to late-game progression.
    • Use the Darkened Ancient Wood at the second locked door to gain access to a new section of the lair.
    • Unlocking this door advances your cult progression path and reveals additional lore-based fishing zones or crafting recipes.

    6. Farming Tips

    • Use Bait Boosters: Any luck-based or “mutation chance” bait will amplify Noir’s effects.
    • Fish During Nighttime: The game’s RNG weighting for “Darkened” variants slightly increases during low-light conditions.
    • Avoid crowded servers: FISCH’s fishing RNG can lag slightly when too many players fish in one region. Solo or private instances yield steadier results.
    • Save Noir Rod Durability: Avoid wasting durability on non-ancient fishing spots.

    Catching Darkened Ancient Wood is about patience and preparation. The Noir enchantment dramatically shifts your odds, but RNG still plays a role. Once you have it, the payoff is significant — unlocking hidden Cultist content and new crafting materials tied to the game’s darker lore.

  • How to Get the Eidolon Rod in Fisch (Full Guide)

    The Eidolon Rod (sometimes referred to as the “Idolon Rod”) is one of the newest and most powerful fishing rods in Fisch. Introduced in the Cultist Layer Update, it combines striking visual design with one of the most overpowered passive effects ever added to the game — the ability to instantly fill your progress bar during fishing. Despite its strength, it’s surprisingly easy to obtain, making it a must-have for any serious angler in Fisch.

    The Eidolon Rod is a premium-tier fishing rod that provides high speed, unlimited weight capacity, and a built-in auto-progress mechanic that completes your catches almost instantly once you reach about 70% progress. It’s especially valuable for money farming, fast mutation hunting, and late-game fishing where progress speed is critical.

    The best part? You can unlock it relatively early with just a bit of exploration and a 5 million coin purchase — no crafting materials or questline grinding required.

    How to Get the Eidolon Rod

    To unlock the Eidolon Rod, you’ll need access to Terrapin Island, one of the key locations in the Cultist update. Here’s how to obtain it step-by-step:


    Step 1: Head to Terrapin Island

    • Travel to Terrapin Island, located beyond the main island regions.
    • Once you arrive, go to the backside of the island where a special NPC quest giver can be found.

    Step 2: Complete the Sea Turtle Quest

    • The NPC on Terrapin Island will give you a simple quest: catch a Sea Turtle and bring it back.
    • Once you hand over the Sea Turtle, the NPC will direct you to a hidden area on the island.

    Step 3: Find the Secret Cave

    • Follow the NPC’s hint and head to the other side of Terrapin Island.
    • Look for a hidden cave entrance tucked near the cliffs.
    • Inside, follow the tunnel and take the first left.

    Step 4: Wait for a Foggy Night

    • Inside the cave, you’ll find a lever that can only be pulled during foggy weather at night.
    • When the conditions are right, pull the lever. Doing so will teleport you into the Cultist Layer — a secret underground zone.

    Step 5: Reach the Bottom Floor of the Cultist Layer

    You now have two options:

    1. Complete all the Cultist Gates properly to reach the bottom area,
    2. Or use the current terrain glitch to clip through and drop to the bottom level (as shown in the video).

    Once you’re at the bottom, you’ll find a trapdoor area with the Eidolon Rod displayed for purchase.


    Step 6: Purchase the Eidolon Rod

    • The rod costs $5,000,000 Fisch Cash.
    • No materials or crafting steps are required.
    • Once you buy it, it’s instantly added to your inventory.

    Eidolon Rod Stats

    Attribute Value
    Lure Speed 100%
    Luck 50%
    Control 0.25
    Resilience 0%
    Max KG Infinite

    These stats already make it a solid rod, but what makes it truly exceptional is its unique passive ability.

    Passive Ability: Instant Progress Fill

    The Eidolon Rod features one of the most powerful passive effects in the game:

    “Once your progress bar reaches around 70–75%, it instantly fills to 100%, automatically completing the catch.”

    This means:

    • You can catch fish almost instantly, even high-rarity ones.
    • The ability triggers consistently, regardless of fish type or rarity.
    • The rod becomes especially efficient when combined with Progress Speed or Piercing Enchants.

    Bonus Effects

    • +40% Progress Speed Buff (applies passively)
    • Can trigger Phantom and Mosaic Mutations
    • Works on Exotic, Mythical, and even Aurora-tier fish
    • Pairs perfectly with money farming builds — the instant progress leads to faster catches and quicker sell rotations.

    Mutation Capabilities

    The Eidolon Rod can trigger two mutations:

    Mutation Effect
    Phantom Grants glowing spectral variants of fish with bonus sell value.
    Mosaic Produces crystallized or shining fish with high multiplier worth.

    These make the rod ideal for mutation farming in high-value areas like Crystal Caves, Car Garden, and Castaway Eclipse.

    The Eidolon Rod is one of the most accessible yet overpowered rods in Roblox Fisch. For just 5 million coins, you gain a rod that can instantly catch fish, unlocks rare mutations, and performs exceptionally in all biomes. Whether you’re farming money, collecting mutations, or just looking for an efficient endgame rod — the Eidolon Rod delivers performance far beyond its cost.

  • How to Get the Lucid Rod in Fisch (Full Guide)

    The Lucid Rod is a mid-to-late-game fishing rod in Fisch that not only looks visually impressive but also offers unique functionality tied to the Lucid Mutation, a feature linked with the Cultist Layer update. While its stats aren’t top-tier compared to the strongest rods, it’s an important progression item for players who want access to advanced crafting and mutation mechanics.

    The Lucid Rod is crafted at the Crafter inside the Ancient Archives, but before you can make it, you’ll need to gather a few rare materials and a hefty amount of cash. Once crafted, it unlocks the ability to obtain the Lucid Mutation, which is crucial for certain quests and later-game fishing upgrades.

    Crafting Location

    You’ll need to travel to the Ancient Archives area. This is where the crafting interface for the Lucid Rod can be found.

    • Tip: Fly or teleport to the end of the Archives to reach the Crafter faster.

    Lucid Rod Crafting Recipe

    To craft the Lucid Rod, you need the following materials:

    Ingredient How to Obtain Notes

    1x Curtouch Metal Scrap Fish using the Great Dreamer Rod in the Depths area Only obtainable from the Depths while using the Great Dreamer Rod.

    Pay the $80,000 Fee

    Craft the Rod

    Interact with the Crafter, select Lucid Rod, and click Craft.

    Once complete, the Lucid Rod will be added to your inventory.

    Lucid Rod Stats

    The Lucid Rod offers balanced performance — not the strongest rod available, but reliable for mid- to high-tier fishing and essential for progression.

    • Strength: Moderate
    • Speed: Average
    • Luck: Slightly above standard rods
    • Special Ability: Grants a chance to trigger the Lucid Mutation

    While the Lucid Rod doesn’t dominate in raw stats, it’s a crucial item for long-term players. The combination of its unique mutation effect, cultist-related utility, and stylish design make it a must-have for collectors and completionists alike. If you’re preparing for the next big update or working through mutation-based crafting, this rod is your next essential goal.

     

  • Weak Legacy 2 Update 5.75 Guide – Awakened Rengoku, Codes

    The flames burn brighter than ever in Weak Legacy 2’s latest Update 5.75, introducing a complete overhaul to Flame Breathing with the long-awaited Flame V2, a new Mythic rarity for the Rengoku Clan, and the appearance of the fierce Awakened Rengoku Boss. This update not only turns up the heat on combat but also polishes several systems and adds valuable balance adjustments.

    Here’s everything you need to know about Update 5.75 — all new content, codes, items, and fixes included.

    1. New Breathing: Flame V2 Breathing

    The highlight of this update is the Flame V2 Breathing, a complete rework and upgrade of the classic Flame Breathing style.

    Flame V2 Highlights:

    • Enhanced visual effects and skill animations.
    • Flame Katana now applies burn damage with Flame V2 skills.
    • Stronger combos, faster skill chaining, and wider hitboxes.
    • Greatly improved synergy with Rengoku Clan bonuses.

    Flame V2 not only looks better but plays smoother — combining fiery burst attacks with continuous burn effects that melt through enemy defenses.

    How to Unlock:
    Obtain Flame V2 through breathing resets or Flame-specific quests. Existing Flame users can transition to V2 using the reset code provided below.

    2. Rengoku Clan Rarity Upgrade

    The Rengoku Clan has officially been elevated from Legendary to Mythic rarity.

    This change reflects the clan’s stronger synergy with Flame V2 and its lore significance. Rengoku players now enjoy a noticeable boost to flame-based abilities, giving them an edge in PvE and PvP scenarios.

    If you already had Rengoku before this patch, you retain your clan — it’s now automatically upgraded to its new Mythic tier.

    3. New Boss: Awakened Rengoku

    Prepare for one of the most intense boss fights in Weak Legacy 2 — the Awakened Rengoku.

    Location: Mugen Train area
    Drops:

    • Ablaze Spirit (new Mythic item)
    • High XP and flame-based materials
    • Potential flame katana upgrades

    The boss wields Flame V2 moves with advanced patterns, so expect a fast-paced and punishing fight. Learning his attack rhythm and dodging at the right time is essential for survival.

    4. New Item: Ablaze Spirit

    Dropped from the Mugen Train event, the Ablaze Spirit is a unique item connected to Flame V2.

    Uses:

    • May enhance Flame V2 damage output
    • Possible material requirement for future flame weapon evolutions
    • Boosts burn duration on equipped flame skills

    Keep it stored — this is likely a core item for upcoming content.

    5. UI Rework (Partial)

    The interface has begun its visual overhaul phase. While not all menus are finished, you’ll notice cleaner visuals, improved readability, and smoother transitions.

    This partial rework focuses on battle HUDs, NPC dialogue windows, and mobile button adjustments. Expect more visual updates in future patches.

    6. Level Cap Increase

    The maximum level has been raised to 1650.

    This gives players more room to grind stats and test the new breathing’s potential in both solo play and boss battles.

    Pro Tip: Focus your early levels on improving durability and breathing control to handle Flame V2’s energy demands.

    7. Mobile Quality-of-Life Changes

    • Added mobile button resizing for easier customization.
    • Improved touch response in battles and movement.
    • Fixed UI overlap on smaller screens.

    These changes make Flame V2 and other breathing styles smoother to play on mobile devices.

    8. Combat and System Adjustments

    Several subtle but impactful combat tweaks were introduced in this patch:

    • Air Combo Stun: Reduced from 1.5s → 1.25s to balance chaining.
    • Flame Katana: Now deals additional burn damage on all Flame V2 skills.
    • Lag Fix: Fixed lag spikes when receiving new items.
    • Fixed minor bugs across various systems.

    These fixes should make gameplay feel tighter and more consistent overall.

    9. New Codes

    Use these active codes to reset, spin, and test the new Flame V2 system:
