How to Fish in Sea of Stars
As you’re exploring the open world and navigating between areas, you’ll find various large lakes dedicated to fishing.
To fish in Sea of Stars, press confirm to cast your rod and aim to land it as close as possible to the fish shadows. If no fish are biting, you can slowly reel in the bobber until something bites, or reset and cast your rod again.
After a fish bites, you’ll notice a light path that’s moving around. Aim to keep the fish within that path while reeling in.
If the line turns red, stop reeling immediately and aim to bring the fish to the light path before starting again.
And that’s all. Some fish will move around more which will make it harder to keep them in the light, but with enough patience, you’ll be able to catch anything.
