Find all fish locations in fantasy life i the girl who steals time, including Angelfish, Bass of Darkness, Beelzebub Tuna, and Blackgill.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Explore the world and look for fish icons on your minimap (the small circular map in the bottom-left corner of your screen) which indicate fishing spots.
  2. 2
    Pay attention to the type of water: fish can be found in the sea, rivers, lakes, caves, and dungeons.
  3. 3
    Observe the indicated size of the fish shadow in the water to help identify potential catches.
  4. 4
    Understand that RNG (random number generation) plays a role, so persistence is key.
  5. 5
    Fishing costs no in-game currency and has no penalties other than wasted time if the line breaks or fish escapes.
  6. 6
    When fishing, a radial menu will appear. Move the cursor to find the sweet spot to deal more damage.
  7. 7
    Use normal, charged, and special abilities to deplete the fish's HP, managing your stamina.
  8. 8
    Charged abilities also replenish your fishing line's durability, which depletes over time or with normal pulls outside the sweet spot.
  9. 9
    Your Fishing Life's key ability stat, derived from your fishing rod, significantly impacts performance.
  10. 10
    Consider progressing the main questline and ranking up the Carpenter Life to craft better fishing rods.
  11. 11
    Recruit and equip Angler Strangelings in your party; they can assist in fishing attempts and catch less challenging fish independently.
Tips
  • Fishing is a low-stakes gathering minigame; don't worry too much about spooked fish, as they return after a moment.
  • While NPC (non-player character — anyone the game controls, not you) Anglers are helpful, they are not a complete replacement for your protagonist, especially for boss fish.
  • Focus on improving your fishing rod through crafting or finding better ones to make fishing easier.

Angelfish

This sea-dwelling fish starts appearing around mid-game. You’ll find it in the waters around the Tropica Isles, Swolean Island (and the Cave of Trials), and Ginormosia. Pull it out of the water by casting your line at big fish shadows.

Bass of Darkness

One of the rare “boss” fish that isn’t a lordfish, it lurks in the sea around the Tropica Isles. Catching it will get you the Dark Scales material.

Beelzebub Tuna

A boss fish exclusive to Treasure Groves. They will spawn as the boss of a Treasure Grove on any year. When you plant a Treasure Grove Sapling, check to see if the boss at the bottom is a fish, and that that fish is a Beelzebub Tuna. They’re the only source of the Devil’s Fin material.

Blackgill

A late-game fish of ill-repute, it can be found in caves and dungeons, haunting the depths. These sun-shunning fish can be found in the Great Nayvel Cave along the southwestern coast of the South Greatgut Plains (Ginormosia), in the Depths - B2 and in Warren Willow Hollow (late-game only). They can be found at small fish shadows.
