Fishing Guide: Best Spots and Bait
Fishing in Fire Emblem: Three Houses is a relaxing pastime that can yield valuable rewards, including rare fish, crafting materials, and even useful items. To maximize your fishing success, understanding the best fishing spots and the appropriate bait for each is essential. The fishing pond is located in the Greenhouse area of Garreg Mach Monastery.
| Fishing Spot | Best Bait | Potential Catches |
|---|---|---|
| Main Pond (Near Greenhouse Entrance) | Earthworm Bait | Common Fish (e.g., Pond Smelt, Crucian Carp), River Prawn |
| Deeper Water (Further from Entrance) | Glowworm Bait | Uncommon Fish (e.g., Black Bass, Salmon), Giant Catfish |
| Near the Waterfall | Lake Bait | Rare Fish (e.g., Rainbow Trout, Sea Bream), Golden Loach |
| Night Fishing (After Dark) | Glowworm Bait or Lake Bait | Nocturnal Fish (e.g., Moonfish, Anglerfish), rare items |
Bait Acquisition: Bait can be purchased from the General Store in the Marketplace or sometimes found as rewards from quests or exploration. It's advisable to stock up on several bait types to be prepared for different fishing conditions.
Fishing Mechanics: When you cast your line, you'll need to wait for a bite. Once a fish bites, a mini-game will commence where you must press the button in time with the on-screen prompts to reel in your catch. The stronger the fish, the more challenging the mini-game will be. Successfully catching a fish often depends on your Fishing skill level and the quality of your bait.
Tips for Success:
- Upgrade Your Fishing Skill: Use your Fishing skill by fishing regularly. A higher Fishing skill increases your chances of catching rarer fish and makes the reeling mini-game easier.
- Use the Right Bait: Always try to use the recommended bait for the spot you are fishing in.
- Fish at Different Times: Some fish only appear during specific times of day or night. Experiment with both day and night fishing.
- Check the Weather: While not explicitly stated, some players report better luck during certain weather conditions.
- Listen for Cues: The sound of the line and the visual cues during the reeling mini-game are crucial for success.
Catching rare fish can be a great way to earn money through selling them or to use in cooking for stat-boosting meals. Don't underestimate the value of a good fishing session!
