Fishing Guide: How to Catch  Fishes

Catch fish at fishing spots in The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin (7DSO). Learn how to catch fish, how to unlock fishing, and how to get bait, as well as the benefits of fishing.

How to Catch Fish

How to Catch Fish in 7DSO



Go to a Body of Water Where Fishing is Possible

Fishing Location

Fishing in 7DSO can be done in bodies of water such as the sea or lakes. However, not every shoreline is a valid location; the key is whether there are fish nearby.

You can identify a fishing spot by approaching the water's edge and seeing if the "Fish" interaction prompt appears.

Check the Fishing Spot Information to See the Fish Types Available in that Area

Fishing Spot Info

You can check which types of fish are available at a location via the Fishing Spot Info button. This feature allows you to see the preferred bait for each fish and the specific effects that different baits provide.

Additionally, it also displays the status effects inflicted when certain fish are used as a recovery item as food, so it's highly advisable to check the info especially when you visit a fishing spot for the first time.

Choose a Bait

Choose Bait

Once you've started the Fishing interaction, the next step is to choose your bait. Since different baits attract different fish, select one that suits your specific target. While it is possible to fish without bait, high-rarity fish will ignore your hook if it is unbaited.

We recommend fishing without bait first to practice the mechanics before using your resources.

Cast Your Line and Wait for a Fish to Bite

Cast Line

Once you've chosen your bait, cast your line to start fishing. Generally, it's recommended to cast near where you see fish. However, even if there aren't any fish nearby, they will appear later as long as you can cast within range, so it's also fine to cast wherever you like and wait patiently.

You can identify if an area is rich with fish when a green light appears instead of a blue light after confirming the "Fish" interaction button. You can move the target spot of your cast with the Move button to find a location where the green light is visible.

Keep the Bar Within the Yellow Gauge

As soon as the fish bites, you must hit the Set the Hook button quickly to start pulling. Otherwise, the fish will get away and you will lose your bait.

Once the hook is set, a yellow gauge and a bar will appear on the screen. To catch the hooked fish, keep the bar within the yellow gauge for a set amount of time The timer is displayed below the gauge.

The bar will automatically move down if you do not press anything and will move up if you press the Pull button. Adjust your inputs carefully to maintain the bar's position within the yellow gauge.

Fishing is Complete when the Capture Gauge is Full

Capture Gauge

When the capture gauge is full—indicated by the circular icon that fills around the fish icon within the bar—you have successfully caught the fish! Caught fish are stored in your Bag and can be consumed or used as cooking ingredients at any time.

How to Unlock Fishing

Progress Through Act 1 Until Tioreh Joins the Party

Obtain Tioreh

Fishing in The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin is unlocked once you have progressed through Act 1-2, upon Tioreh becoming a permanent member of your team. Afterward, you can freely roam to any body of water to fish.

How to Get Fish Bait

Craft Bait at a Workbench

Craft Bait

Fishing baits can be crafted at a Workbench by combining mainly meat with other materials. The higher the level of your workbench, the higher the quality of the bait you can craft, so be sure to check regularly whether you can upgrade your workbench.

Benefits of Fishing

Cook Fish to Make Food with Healing Effects

Cooked Fish

Fishing allows you to obtain a wide variety of fish. Fish can be used in cooking and serve as ingredients for crafting powerful healing items that not only restore HP but also grant buff effects to the characters in your party.

While some types of fish can restore HP without being cooked, there is a 10% chance of getting Food Poisoning (which deals 2% of your maximum HP in damage every 3 seconds). Therefore, unless it’s an emergency, you should try to cook them whenever possible.

Obtain Star Fragments by Completing Legendary Angler Achievement

Legendary Angler

By catching a variety of high-rarity fishes, you will be able to complete the Legendary Angler Achievement and earn Star Fragments as a reward. Additionally, cooking fishes contributes to completing Cooking Achievements, so it is highly recommended to work on both simultaneously to maximize your rewards.
