All Fishing Spots & Rare Fish

Fishing in NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139... is a surprisingly deep mechanic that offers valuable rewards, from crafting materials to unique fish that can be sold for substantial profit. Mastering this art requires understanding the various fishing spots scattered across the world and the specific bait needed to lure out rarer catches. The most common fishing locations are found in the various bodies of water in areas like the Seafront, the Northern Plains, and the Forest of Myth. Each location has a slightly different pool of fish that can be caught.

To begin fishing, you'll need to acquire the Fishing Rod from the old man in Seafront. Once you have the rod, equip it and approach any body of water. The fishing mini-game involves timing your button presses to reel in the fish without breaking the line. The strength of the fish and its resistance will be indicated by the tension on the line. Different types of bait will attract different fish. For common catches like the Common Bream and Sea Bass, basic bait is sufficient. However, for rarer specimens, you'll need to experiment with more specialized bait.

The Giant Catfish, for instance, is a notoriously difficult catch found in the Northern Plains. It requires patience and precise timing. Another valuable catch is the Royal Fish, which can be found in Seafront. These rare fish are crucial for completing certain quests, such as the "The Fisherman's Gambit" questline, and for obtaining powerful crafting materials. Selling these rare fish can also provide a sificant financial boost, allowing you to purchase more potent weapons and upgrades from the shopkeepers. Don't underestimate the importance of fishing; it's a vital component for a well-rounded playthrough.

Remember to always have a good supply of bait. You can purchase bait from the shop in Seafront.
