How to Spot Fish in Skull and Bones
Use Your Spyglass
Fish are tiny, and can be hard to spot in the ocean. Access the Spyglass by holding the Spyglass button, and scout for nearby fish and animals.
Use the Spyglass with corresponding buttons on your platform:
| PC | PlayStation | Xbox |
|---|---|---|
| R |  |
 |
Enable Gameplay Closed Captions
You can also modify the game's subtitle settings to display nearby fish and sound sources through Gameplay Closed Captions.
Gameplay Closed Captions inform you what the noise was, and the direction where it came from. Head to Settings > Language > Subtitle Settings to turn it on!
How to Fish in Skull and Bones
Hunt Animals With the Hunting Spear
There is no 'fishing' in Skull and Bones as players can only hunt fish and other animals with weapons to cook meat and refine hides.
Additionally, hunting animals with the Hunting Spear is only advisable when you still only have the Dhow. You can 'fish' more safely as you get better ships and cannons.
Embarking With the Dhow
As the starting ship, the Dhow can get easily damaged by wildlife. Make sure to have enough Repair Kits to stay afloat!
Stun Animals With Timed Attacks
You can interrupt the attacks from animals by timing a charged attack before their attack lands. When timed correctly, not only will their attack be interrupted, but they will also receive bonus damage!
Take aim and shoot with the following buttons for your platform:
| PC | PlayStation | Xbox |
|---|---|---|
| Aim: Right Mouse Button Shoot: Left Mouse Button |
Aim:  Shoot:  |
Aim:  Shoot:  |
Loot the Animal's Carcass
Like other loot in the sea, animals you have killed float in the water. Do not forget to loot their carcass before leaving!
Upgrade the Hunting Spear
While we do not recommend sticking with Hunting Spear, the Hunting Spear can be upgraded as your infamy increases.
Consider upgrading the Hunting Spear when hunting for hide as well!
Kill Animals With Cannons
Hunting animals with Ship Cannons are a safer option, as they deal more damage and have a bit more range.
Aim and Shoot with Cannons
Similar to the Hunting Spear, take aim and shoot at the creature with the following buttons:
| PC | PlayStation | Xbox |
|---|---|---|
| Aim: Right Mouse Button Shoot: Left Mouse Button |
Aim: Shoot: |
Aim: Shoot: |
Once the creature is dead, do not forget to loot its carcass as well!
