Where To Find Herons Fishing Pole In Tails Of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter

After completing the main mission, you can unlock all the Travel Points in the region, which will help you move around the map a lot quicker. Go down the lift in Nestminster and head left towards the bridge with the bell on top that you shoot when you first receive the Bow. You will find Ernest, the fisherman, who will tell you that he dropped his fishing rod in a well.

Finding The Pole & Acquiring Honey For The Mole

After your conversation with the Crane, head right to The Bug Farm and go down the depths of the well. After going down the second ladder, crawl through the small passageway on the right to proceed further down. You will now need to go down a few more ladders until you reach another space to crawl through. Ignore the green electronic machines and open the bunker on the right. Head up to find two moles, one of whom is using the Pole to dip his biscuits in honey. He asks for a Honey Jar that you must find. Go back all the way up to The Bug Farm.

Inside the building, you can interact with the merchant to buy Honey for 3 coins. Take the Honey back to the mole, and he will give you the Missing Fishing Rod along with the following items:

• Mole Plate Metal
• Electric Cables
• Electric Batteries
• Dull Mole Armour
• Dull Mole Shield

With the Fishing Rod in your possession, go back to Nestminster and travel to the Abandoned Rangers Camp at the far left of the region. Head left, following the marker on the map, to find Ernest, who will give 10 coins as a reward and unlock himself as a merchant who also sells a Tarot Card.
