How to Fish
| How to Fish |

| 1. Head to a Fishing Spot
2. Choose Your Rod and Bait 3. Cast the Line and Wait for a Bite 4. Keep the Indicator on the Fish Icon |
Head to a Fishing Spot
To start fishing, you will need to locate a Fishing Spot. These are glowing pools in the water that appear as a fish icon on the map. When you approach, you will be prompted to fish. Press the button that appears to start fishing.
Choose Your Rod and Bait
Here, you can choose which Fishing Rod and kind of Bait you will use to fish. High-quality rods and bait will make fishing easier, and make finding rare fish easier respectively. Once you've chosen, press Start Fishing.
Cast the Line and Wait for a Bite
Press the indicated button to cast the line into the water. Press it again when you see the indicator flash, accompanied by a sound effect, to start reeling in the fish on the line.
Bring Angling Geniemon to Auto-Reel Fish
| Trait | Blue Effect | Purple Effect | Gold Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
 At peace
|
- | - | Auto-reel in enabled |
At Peace is a Gold-tier angling geniemon trait that enables auto-reel in during fishing, which skips the reel-in minigame and automatically catches fish successfully. This trait can be inherited by and equipped to Active Geniemons.
Keep the Indicator on the Fish Icon
Once you reel the fish in, a minigame will start. Press the button to move the indicator upwards, and release it to let the indicator fall back down. You will need to maneuver the indicator to keep the moving fish icon in its range and fill up the progress bar.
Once the bar on the right of the fishing indicator is full, the fish on the line will be caught. If the bar completely empties, then the fish gets away. Regardless of the outcome, every attempt to reel in a fish will cost 1 Bait.
Piscator Character Trait Helps You Fish Better
| Characters with Piscator Trait | |
|---|---|

 Sibylle

 Tabethe

Certain characters have the Piscator trait in their Character Profile, and having this trait will make fishing easier, much like better fishing equipment does.
How to Sell Fish
| How to Sell Fish |
|---|
| 1. Open the Inventory in the Main Menu 2. Go to Fishing Supplies and Press Sell 3. Choose and Confirm Which Fish to Sell |
Fish can be sold in the Inventory section from the Main Menu. From the Main Menu, click on Inventory, and then go to the Fishing Supplies tab to start selling fish.
Open the Inventory in the Main Menu
Start from the Main Menu, then click on the Inventory tab marked with a backpack-looking icon.
Go to Fishing Supplies and Press Sell
Once in the Inventory, navigate to the Fishing Supplies tab. Then on the Fishing Supplies screen, look near the bottom-right part of the screen to find the Sell butoon.
Press the Sell button to start selling fish.
Choose and Confirm Which Fish to Sell
After pressing the Sell button, an interface will appear at the bottom of the screen that lets you choose and confirm the amount and type of fish you'll sell. Once you're done picking, select Sell again to successfully complete the sale.
It's worth noting that higher-level and higher rarity fish yield more Angler's Tokens.
Where to Get Angling and At Peace Trait For Fishing
Buy Inactive Geniemon With At Peace Trait From the Fisheries
As of Version 1.1, inactive Geniemons with the At Peace angling trait can now be bought using the Angler's Token. This is, by far, the easiest and fastest way to acquire the Angling trait.
Along with At Peace, Deft, a Gold-tier geniemon trait that will bypass lock mechanism puzzles, is also available in the Fisheries for purchase.
Catch Geniemon With At Peace Trait
The Angling trait can spawn at random rates, and doesn't seem to have a fixed spawn location. The auto-reel in passive buff is a unique trait that could randomly occur in any geniemon.
It's worth noting that the auto-reel in angling trait has been commonly seen in Inactive Geniemons such as Jellomon, Healing Drone, and Magnetix Drone.
Get Bro Boxie to Easily Spot Geniemon
As you hunt for Geniemons that have the Angling trait, it's highly recommended to catch and use Bro Boxie in your exploration. You can get Bro Boxie in the overworld as it randomly spawns throughout the map.
How to Get Fish Bait
Get Fish Bait By Purchasing From the Fisheries
| Bait | Cost | Purchase Limit | Refresh |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic Lure | 1000 Coins | 10 | Daily |
| Cluckin' Good x10 | 50 Angler's Tokens | 10 | Weekly |
| Like Attracts Like x10 | 20 Angler's Tokens | 20 | Weekly |
| Wiggling Lure x10 | 10 Angler's Tokens | 50 | Weekly |
You can buy Fish Bait from the Fisheries, with Basic Bait costing Coins, and more advanced bait costing Angler's Tokens. These tokens come from selling fish that you have previously caught.
Fish Bait Effects and Description
| Fish Bait | Description |
|---|---|
| Basic Lure | A standard lure meant to attract a fish's attention - whether it actually helps you catch anything...is another matter entirely. |
| Wiggling Lure | A special lure that shortens bite time. Maybe it's the way it wriggles - irresistible to most underwater dwellers. |
| Like Attracts Like | A formulated bait that boosts your odds of luring fish variants. To a creature with eccentric tastes, maybe a glinting hunk of scrap can pass for fine cuisine. |
| Cluckin' Good | A deceptively plain-looking lure, crafted from top-grade ingredients. Even the pickiest of fish keep pecking until the very last crumb is gone. |
How to Get Fishing Rods
Increase Trial Rank
| Rod | Rarity |
|---|---|
| Training Rod | Green |
| Beginner's Rod | Blue |
| Advanced Rod | Purple |
| Expert Rod | Gold |
| Grandmaster Rod | Gold |
Higher quality rods can help make fishing easier, and higher quality bait can help you find rare fish more easily. Also note that some fishing rods can be unlocked upon reaching certain Trial Rank levels.
It's also worth noting that fishing is randomized, and it may take a while to catch specific fish despite having the correct rod and bait.
Upgrades and Purchasing Every Rarity
Each upgrade made to your fishing rod helps in making the reeling in minigame easier to play. Take note that before being able to purchase upgrades, you might be required to reach a Trial Rank level. You can buy Fishing Rod upgrades in Fisheries using Tokens or coins.
To be able to purchase and unlock higher rarity fishing rods, you must have unlocked a fishing rod in the preceeding rarity. For example, to be able to buy the Expert Rod you must have first unlocked the Advanced Rod.

I’d like a guide to know which baits are best for catching specific fish.
