Nightingale Fishing Guide – How to Catch and Cook Fish

Most of the foods you will eat Nightingale derived from plants and animals on earth. However, there is a way for you to gain from the gift of the sea. Here’s our guide on how to fish the Nightingale.

Nightingale fishing guide – How to catch fish

To start fishing with Nightingale, you need to craft a Simple Fishing Rod. Here’s a quick summary:

• First, you need to build 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 a Essence Trader in an Abeyance Realm.
• You can do this if you have 1x Wood Bundle, 2x Animal Fiber, and 1x Bones. Remember that Animal Fiber and Bones come from creatures that are your skin.
• Note that the “simple” types of structures and craftable items in Nightingale are early-game variants. There are higher level versions that you can unlock and use later in the campaign.

How to successfully complete the fishing minigame

Once you have the Simple Fishing Rod, make sure it is assigned to an action key. Then, head to a body of water (ie, a pond, lake, or shore). Hold down the left mouse button to throw your lure, and press the left mouse button again when you get bitten. This will start the fishing minigame.

The goal is to completely deplete the fish’s HP, represented by a red bar. To do this, you need to keep the tension on the line as close to the center as possible. This is done by periodically pressing the left mouse button.

Remember that the fish will try to wiggle, so the tension builds until the line snaps. Additionally, you need to check your stamina meter, as pressing the left mouse button too often will drain your stamina quickly. We also recommend disabling the “Automatically Hide HUD” setting in the Gameplay tab–if the HUD disappears, you may not even notice that you have no power left.

Where to find the recipe for Grilled Fish

When the fish loses its HP bar, it will magically fall in front of you. Just grab it to add it to your inventory. Returning to your Campfire, you’re in for a surprise: You can’t really cook yet. That’s because you still need the Grilled Fish recipe. Here’s what you need to know:

• The Nightingale Grilled Fish recipe is from Essence Traders in the Astrolabe Realms.
• The Astrolabe Card is unlocked as part of a main quest when you complete the trials in the Antiquarian Realm. This requires defeating a mini-dungeon boss in the Astrolabe Site of Power.
• Then you need to craft and combine the necessary Realm Cards. The biome type does not matter (ie Forest, Desert, or Swamp), but the realm type must be the Astrolabe Card.
• Go to the portal you just created with the Astrolabe Card and any biome combination. Find the Essence Trader in that world and buy the Grilled Fish recipe for 5x T1 Essence.

In any case, this is how you catch fish in the Nightingale. These aquatic creatures are just a way to get more food for yourself ease the pangs of hunger in the game.
