Most of the food items that you’ll eat in Nightingale come from plants and animals that are on land. However, there’s a way for you to gain from the bounty of the sea. Here’s our guide on how to go fishing in Nightingale.
Nightingale fishing guide – How to catch fish
To start fishing in Nightingale, you need to craft a Simple Fishing Rod. Here’s a quick summary:
- First, you have to build a Simple Workbench. It requires 10x Wood Bundle and 4x Plant Fiber.
- As for the Simple Fishing Rod, you may need to purchase the blueprint from an Essence Trader.
- You may then craft it if you have 1x Wood Bundle, 2x Animal Fiber, and 1x Bones. Note that Animal Fiber and Bones come from creatures that you skin.
- Note that the “simple” types of structures and craftable items in Nightingale are early-game variants. There are higher-tier versions that you can unlock and use later in the campaign.
How to successfully complete the fishing minigame
Once you have a Simple Fishing Rod, make sure it’s assigned to an action key. Then, head over to a body of water (i.e. a pond, lake, or the coast). Press and hold the left mouse button to cast your lure, and press the left mouse button again when you get a bite. This will begin the fishing minigame.
