The Dig Hints
Where are all the rods?
1 of 5: For the most part, you'll find the rods as you need them throughout the game. You might want to wait before reading the rest of the hints, since if you haven't found the rods, you probably haven't gotten to the right point in the game anyway.
2 of 5: You'll find the first rod on the ground in the Nexus. It's just next to the tall column on the top level of Nexus. This rod is purple.
3 of 5: There's a red rod in the museum in the first spire that you'll encounter (the one opened by the purple rod).
4 of 5: There's an orange rod in a room underwater that you can reach from the beach in the purple (museum) spire.
