Complete guide to the Fishing For Ingredients! request in The Legend of Heroes: Trails from Zero. Learn how to start, catch Eels, and claim your rewards.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Accept the "Fishing For Ingredients!" request from the computer in the SSS HQ on Chapter 2 Day 2 after the initial dialogue.
  2. 2
    Go to East Street, enter the Long Lao Tavern & Inn, and speak with Shanshan. She needs five "elongated and slender fish."
  3. 3
    Shanshan accepts several types of fish, but Eels are recommended for the bonus +5 Detective Points.
  4. 4
    To catch Eels, you need Earthworms as bait. Earthworms can be farmed from monsters like Berga Bugs (East Crossbell Highway), Horned Frogs (East Crossbell Highway), Deathcargots (Ursula Road), Ocean Dromes (Ursula Road), and Abyss Worms (Mainz Mountain Path). Berga Bugs are generally the easiest to farm.
  5. 5
    If you are too high a level, enemies might die instantly when attacked on the field. To avoid this, simply run into them without attempting an ambush.
  6. 6
    Once you have Earthworms, head to a fishing spot. Recommended spots with fewer competing fish types are the West Crossbell Highway - Pond and the East Crossbell Highway - River. Other options include Crossbell City - Harbor District and Ursula Road - Estuary.
  7. 7
    Be aware that some fish, like the Gluttonous Bass, Armorican Carp, Carp, and Snow Crab, will waste your Earthworms.
  8. 8
    Catch five Eels.
  9. 9
    Return to Shanshan at the Long Lao Tavern & Inn and hand over the five Eels to complete the request.
Tips
  • Delivering five Eels is the most efficient way to complete this request, earning you +5 Detective Points.
  • If you need to farm Earthworms, Berga Bugs on the East Crossbell Highway are a common and relatively easy source.
  • When farming for bait, be mindful of enemy levels. If you are significantly overleveled, you might kill enemies instantly on the field, preventing you from obtaining drops. To avoid this, initiate combat normally rather than using an ambush.
  • The West Crossbell Highway - Pond and East Crossbell Highway - River are good fishing spots as they have fewer types of fish that consume Earthworms.
