While you’re out exploring the lands of Pywel, you may want to take a second to do a spot of fishing. This will both give you a little respite between battles and provide some sustenance if you want to dabble in a bit of cooking.
The fishing mechanic in Crimson Desert isn’t just hit a button, and a fish will instantly be yours; there’s a little finesse to it.
We’ve caught a few whoppers in our time as Kliff, so we will hopefully be able to give you some tips on becoming an expert fisherman.
How to fish in Crimson Desert
If you are getting a bit peckish after doing some exploring in Crimson Desert, hooking and cooking some fish is a good way to heal up, ready for the next battle.
To start fishing in Crimson Desert, you will first need a rod. You can buy these from a Provisioner’s Shop, and can range from the basic, cheap version to more expensive ones that may be required for bigger hauls.
Now you can head to most decently sized bodies of water, rivers, or streams, and you should be able to cast out a line. Make sure you equip your rod and hold L2/LT/Left-Click, depending on your input, and a marker should appear over the water. Let go, and you should be set up.
Something to note here is that you want to cast where you can actually reel a fish in. If there is anything in the way, like a pile of rocks, you’re going to have a hard time securing the fish, usually breaking the line in the process.
After your line is out, hold the same L2/LT/Left-Click input and wait for a fish to bite. You’ll know when one is coming because there will be some splashes and then an indicator in the bottom right telling you to hook via pressing R2/RT/Right-Click.
You’ll now need to fight the fish by pulling your rod in the opposite direction until the fish is tired. Once the fish has stopped resisting, reel it in directly toward you, and it should be yours. Do not try to reel in when there is still movement from the fish; otherwise, you’ll end up with a broken line.
