Alright, let’s talk about Poseidon’s Lance—one of those rods that feels confusing at first, but once you actually understand the steps, it’s honestly not that bad compared to some of the other late-game grinds.
If you’ve just reached Layer 3, this is probably your next big goal. And yeah, there are a few moving parts (bestiary, flood event, pillars), but I’ll walk you through it in a clean, real way so you don’t waste hours figuring things out.
Fisch Poseidon’s Lance Guide – How to Unlock, Flood Event
Before anything else, you need to fully complete the Layer 3 bestiary.
That means:
- Every normal fish
- Plus 2 hunt fish (these are important, don’t miss them)
If your bestiary isn’t at 100%, the rest of this won’t progress properly. A lot of players get stuck here without realizing why.
Step 1 – Wait for the Flood Event (RNG Alert)
Now comes the annoying part… you can’t trigger this yourself.
- The Flood Event is random
- You just have to wait for it to happen
What to do during the flood:
- Catch 25 Atlantean fish
Once you hit that number:
- A Hunt Fish spawns
This is your key progression trigger.
Step 2 – Collect Atlantean / King Blessing Fish
After completing the hunt part, your next job is:
- Get 4 special fish
- Either Atlantean fish
- Or King Blessing fish
You’ll need these as offerings.
Step 3 – Find and Activate the 4 Pillars
Now this is where things feel a bit like a puzzle.
There are four pillars around the area. At each one:
- Stand on top
- Offer one fish
Do this for all four.
Once done:
- A secret door opens
No cutscene, no big indicator—you just need to know where to look.
Step 4 – Enter the Secret Door
After activating all pillars:
- Go to the hidden entrance
- The door will now be open
- Inside, you can purchase Poseidon’s Lance
That’s it—you’ve unlocked it.
Bonus Detail – The Spear Mode (Most People Miss This)
Here’s something small but actually really cool:
- Equip the rod
- Right-click
It transforms into a spear
It doesn’t just look cool—it adds to the whole “Poseidon” vibe and makes the rod feel unique compared to others.
