While fishing may not be the most intense activity in Destiny Rising, it presents unique rewards, including the ability to feed adorable cats. This tranquil pastime is definitely worth your time as you embark on your gaming journey.
In the expansive universe of Destiny Rising, myriad activities await players—from battling foes and exploring vast landscapes to delving into dungeons and engaging in exciting minigames that yield exclusive loot. Fishing joins this diverse array of tasks, offering not only valuable items such as weapons but also a delightful chance to unwind in this mobile game.
However, simply wandering to a body of water won’t set you up for success. To maximize your fishing experience, you’ll need to understand how to unlock the minigame, master the mechanics, and discover what to do with your catches.
Unlocking the Fishing Minigame
Fishing becomes accessible once you reach Chapter 2-3 of the main story, located in Pandora-7 at the Haven Bazaar.
Upon reaching this chapter, you’ll unlock the “Go Fishing” sidequest, which serves as your introduction to the fishing mechanics and their various applications through a comprehensive tutorial.
Mastering Fishing Techniques
If you have a tendency to rush through quests and forget the details, don’t worry—you’re not alone! To fish successfully, first locate the fishing spots spread throughout the game world (which we’ve outlined below for your convenience).Once at a fishing site, tap the fishing prompt that appears on your screen to begin.
You’ll gain access to the fishing menu, where you can utilize different equipment to enhance your fishing experience:
- Rod: Simplifies the process of catching fish.
- Bait: Changes the rarity of the fish you can catch.
- Meal: Boosts both the quality and quantity of fish caught for 20 minutes.
Next, you’re ready to cast your line.Tap the fire button to throw your rod into the water. Watch for the fishing line indicator—when its icon changes, you’ve hooked a fish! Tap again to reel it in.
Fishing minigames become more challenging as you seek rarer fish. To reel in your prize successfully, continuously tap your screen to keep the blue circle around the fish icon. Be mindful of the yellow circle surrounding the fish, which represents its stamina; if it fills up, you risk losing the catch. Keeping that blue circle around it will reduce the fish’s stamina, making for an easier catch.
Obtaining More Rods, Bait, and Meals
As mentioned, Rods, Bait, and Meals are crucial for an effective fishing experience in Destiny Rising, yet acquiring them can be challenging.
To procure additional Rods, you’ll need to boost your fishing rank. This progression allows you to unlock further tiers with the fishing merchant at Haven Bazaar, where you can buy more advanced rods. Prioritizing this goal will significantly ease your fishing efforts.
Bait is available for purchase at the Fishing Supply shop and can be acquired using Angler Tokens—a currency earned by selling your caught fish. Additionally, leveling up your fishing rank and completing related challenges may yield special types of bait.
Finally, Meals become accessible when you reach level 6 in fishing. This enables you to buy premium bait and meals, which are highly beneficial for your fishing endeavors.
Abilities and Leveling Up
Advancing your fishing skills in Destiny Rising unlocks various Abilities, enhancing your gameplay. The cost and details of these Abilities will be summarized shortly.
Utilizing Your Catch
Congratulations on successfully catching fish! Now you may wonder what to do with them. There are primarily two great options:
- Feed the cats that wander around Haven.
- Sell them to the Fishing Merchant for Angling Tokens.
Feeding the cats is a straightforward task once you have fish, although keep in mind that these picky eaters change their locations daily and prefer different fish from various regions. It’s advisable to reference our guide for ensuring you select the right fish.
The alternative—and arguably more profitable—option is to sell your fish to the Fishing Merchant, where your catches can be exchanged for Angling Tokens. This currency can then be used to enhance your gear by purchasing additional Rods and Bait.
It’s recommended to focus on selling your fish until you feel confident with your equipment before you transition to feeding the feline friends.
