How to Start Fishing

Before you can start fishing, you need to locate one of the three Finner Shrines around the map. You can find them in:

  • The Lakeside South of Sidae’s Stake
  • The Swamp of Birdie’s Bog
  • The Shoreline near Heedoway

Interact with any of those shrines to accept an introductory Votive. Complete this short votive to obtain your fishing gear and catch your first fish.

How Fishing Works

Head to a body of water and equip Doyan’s Spool via the Gear Wheel. Use your starter Lure, or press “X” to select a more appropriate one. Press your primary input and release to throw your wisp hook. Line up the indicators so fish can bite faster.

When a fish bites, press your primary input again to start the mini-game. Use left and right to tire the fish, always pulling against its movement while reeling it toward you. When it jumps out of the water, reel to stun it. Keep reeling it toward you, but ease up if the line turns red or you will break it and lose your Lure!

Fishing Rewards

When you catch a fish you can choose to either keep or release it. Keeping a fish gives you materials for creating Wolfpup treats and other items, while releasing it rewards you with Harmony and crafting materials based on the fish’s rarity. Catching Fish also increases your Angler level, making it easier to catch rarer fish.

Fishing Lures

Completing the intro Votive will give you your fishing gear including a starter Lure. You can use this Lure anywhere, and you will not lose it if your line breaks. However, to catch rarer fish, you will need to use more appropriate Lures. You can get those from opening chests inside Dungeons!

Fish Types

There are currently six types of fish available. Not all of them appear in the same area, so if you wish to catch them all you will have to fish in swamps, the shoreline and the lakes of Alca. The difficulty of catching each fish depends on its level of corruption.

Conclusion

Fishing is a relaxed activity in Soulframe that expands gameplay and makes Alca feel more alive. Catching fish is fun, but it also provides useful resources for your progression and Wolfpup training.
