The Rod of Fishing allows Melinoe to get fish in Hades 2. See how to use the Rod of Fishing, the resources you can gather with it, and how to equip and unlock it in this guide!

How to Use the Rod of Fishing

Capture Fish With the Rod of Fishing

Fishing from Hades 1 makes a return in Hades 2. Fish you catch can be traded for Bones, which in turn can be used to trade with the Wretched Broker.

When you see a ripple in a nearby pool of water, or when notified by the Reagent Sensing incantation, head to the water and press the Interact button.

New Fishing Minigame

A new minigame appears in the game as part of the fishing mechanic where you will have to press the fishing button when the bait hovers over the target.

When the minigame starts, a set of orbs will appear below your screen. This signifies the number of fishing attempts you have before the fish gets away from your bait.

There has been no indication that the minigame will reward you with rarer fish or increase the number of fishes caught, as it simply makes the fishing mechanic more challenging.
