To unlock the fishing feature in Genshin Impact, you need to reach Adventure Rank 30, complete the "Exploding Population" quest in Inazuma, and talk to Katheryne in the City of Reflections. Equip a fishing rod, find fishing spots in bodies of water, and follow on-screen prompts to start fishing.
Unlocking the Fishing Feature
Unlocking the fishing feature in Genshin Impact requires reaching a certain point in the game. As of the current version of the game, fishing is available in the Inazuma region. To unlock fishing, players must progress through the Archon Quests and complete the "Exploding Population" world quest. This quest becomes available after reaching a certain Adventure Rank and progressing through the Inazuma storyline. Once this quest is completed, players will gain access to the fishing feature in Genshin Impact.
Acquiring the Fishing Rod
After unlocking the fishing feature, players need to acquire a fishing rod to start fishing in Genshin Impact. The fishing rod can be obtained by visiting the Fishing Association in Inazuma. The Fishing Association is located in the Seiraiu Fishing Village. Players can interact with the NPC at the Fishing Association to obtain the fishing rod. Once you have the fishing rod in your inventory, you are ready to start fishing in various fishing spots across the game world.
Using the Fishing Feature
Using the fishing feature in Genshin Impact is relatively straightforward once you have the fishing rod in your inventory. To start fishing, you need to find a suitable fishing spot along the coastline or rivers in the game world. Approach the water's edge with your fishing rod equipped, and a prompt will appear to begin fishing. Press the corresponding key or button to cast your line into the water.
Once your line is cast, players need to wait for a fish to bite. When a fish is hooked, an indicator will appear on the screen prompting you to reel it in. Follow the on-screen prompts to reel in the fish successfully. It's important to pay attention to the tension gauge while reeling in the fish. If the tension gauge fills up completely, the line will break, and you will lose the fish. Practice timing your reel to maintain tension without overloading the gauge.
Fishing Mechanics and Tips
Understanding the fishing mechanics is crucial to successfully catching fish in Genshin Impact. Different fish species have varying behaviors and movement patterns. Some fish may be more skittish and require a gentle touch on the reel, while others may be more aggressive and require quicker reeling.
Players can also use different bait types to attract specific fish species. Experiment with different baits to see which ones are more effective in different fishing spots. Additionally, fishing during different times of the day or weather conditions may yield different types of fish. Pay attention to environmental factors when fishing to maximize your chances of catching rare and valuable fish.
Benefits of Fishing
Fishing in Genshin Impact offers various benefits to players. Besides being a relaxing and enjoyable activity, fishing allows players to gather fish that can be used in cooking recipes. Some recipes in the game require specific types of fish as ingredients, making fishing a valuable source for culinary exploration in the game.
In addition to culinary purposes, fishing can also be a lucrative activity for players looking to earn Mora or other rewards. Selling fish, using them in recipes, or trading them for valuable items can provide players with a steady income source in the game. Moreover, fishing also provides an immersive experience, allowing players to interact with the game world and its inhabitants in a unique way.
Genshin Impact's fishing feature adds another layer of depth and immersion to the game, offering players a relaxing and rewarding activity to enjoy alongside the game's main quests and challenges.
