You won’t need to travel far, but be sure to stock up on oxygen tanks, which you can purchase at the first camp for 1,000C$, to prevent running out of oxygen.

If you’re looking to obtain the Heaven’s Rod, you can use the pickaxe to shatter the ice block concealing the Blue Energy Crystal.
In conclusion, the pickaxe is a versatile and essential tool for every adventurer in Fisch, especially those heading to the Northern Summit.
