The Fishing Rod


Alaquia

Recommended Posts

I'm feeling totally stupid right now, but I started Nier today after a long break and I'm trying to finish some trophies... I have the side quest fisherman's gambit and I need to catch 10 sardines but I have no fishing rod. I know I had it at some point but I can't find it in my inventory (no option either near the water)

 

is the rod a weapon? because I have all 30 weapons but there is still a "???" under swords

Well, I remember there is someone who should give you the fishing rod in the first half of the game(before Emil's mansion, maybe in the sea city?). I don't know if it could be possible miss it, but I played it a year ago, so I'm not sure about it. Have you got any bait in your inventory? Because I remember you have to get near the sea, select it and start fishing, without "equipping" the fishing rod. :hmm:

Anyway, I'll give a look at the game, just to see if the fishing rod is in the inventory or in the sword category. ?

 

Edit: Ok, I checked the game. There's no fishing rod in the inventory, and it's not classfied as a weapon (but, even with a 100 % weapons collection, I have a ???, but I think is some kind of glitch). Try walking to the sea and see if there is a "fishing command" on the top of the screen with the :circle: button. In this way you can select the bait and start fishing. No need to equip the fishing rod. :)

thank you for your answer, but...

 

afaik the fisher gives you the rod which was necessary to progress the game (to catch the shaman fish) but after this I didn't do any fishing at all (I played through all endings and recently started my highest save file)

 

the circle button is not appearing for me. I will look into it later tomorrow, maybe I missed something

Maybe you have no baits, and in this way, when you are near the sea, the fishing command doesn't appear. Check you inventory, you should have a "fishing" voice between "raw materials" and "cultivation". Buy some baits in the sea city and try again. If it doesn't work I have no idea... Sorry. ?

it was the bait... I was sure I bought some (I really did but apparently I didn't save the game...)

 

thank you so much! :D

When I first saw this, I read the word "baits" as balls. ?  I seem to remember hearing something about the fishing being a pain in the "baits" in this game.
