Complete Beginner’s Guide to Fishing in Spiritfarer

There are two ways to catch fish in Spiritfarer.

#1: The easier way is to simply jump in the water and interact with the fish that are sticking to the hull of your ship. These fish refresh everytime you go sailing, so you don’t have to worry about running out.

#2: The other method is fishing with the fishing pole from your boat. Introduced to you early in the game by the Atul, the fishing minigame starts by sitting at the chair at the back of the ship.

Stella sits on the end of the ship and will throw her line in the water. Once the line starts to dip, hold the ‘interact’ button and Stella will start reeling it in.

Your fishing line will then change colors depending on how “strong” the fish is. It starts off as white, before becoming yellow, to orange, and finally red.

While reeling in, release the line when it becomes red, as this means it will break soon and the fish will escape.

Thus, fishing is a balance between reeling in and releasing once the line becomes red. Depending on the fish, this minigame may be short or reach up to 5 minutes, so always keep an eye on your line.
