While combat and exploration will undoubtedly take up most time from players enjoying Stellar Blade, there are also other diversions to keep you from getting Naytiba fatigue. Be it seeking out secret collectables or learning more about the world, there seems to be something for everyone. For those who are into the art of fishing, here’s a guide on where and how to find all fish and fishing spots in Stellar Blade.
Unlocking Fishing in Stellar Blade
Fishing is not available to players right from the start of Stellar Blade. Instead, it will take a considerable amount of time for it to appear, as players will have to progress to the Great Desert area. After finding the Oasis, speak to the NPC Clyde there and complete the Looking Glass quest.
This will open up fishing proper, and give players access to Clyde’s shop, which deals with all things fishing and uses the special Fishing Points currency. Do note that there are no better rods to find, with the mini-game made easier by buying Fishing Data items from Clyde. They are:
- Fishing Data – Bought for 200 Fishing Points
- Advanced Fishing Data – Bought for 600 Fishing Points
- Fantastic Fishing Data – Bought for 1200 Fishing Points
- Best Fishing Data – Reward for completing A Gift for a Fishing Maniac side quest
Different baits also work better at attracting certain types of fish, but it is still all a matter of RNG when it comes to catching any of the 25 different fish.
All Fish Bait & Effects
For reference, the type of bait Eve can use are:
- Small Shrimp – More attractive for small fish
- Wriggling Insect – More attractive for medium fish
- Fish Slice – More attractive for large fish
- Strange Bait – Can catch junk
- Special Bait – More attractive for gigantic fish
- Fantastic Bait – Used to catch jumbo fish
All bait but the Strange and Fantastic bait can be bought from Clyde.
