Like a Dragon Ishin Beginner’s Fishing Guide and Tips

소개

This guide will help you with catching all types of fish for the completion list.

Fish you already caught can be found in [Another Life] section of the completion list. There are four spots for catching fish. Two for sea and two for river fish. 있다 29 types of fish in total, but you will also need to catch 10 regular and 1 big tuna for the diligence records.

Catching each fish also gives 10 덕 (at the base level of the Virtue Cultivation perk). This makes it an okay way to get a bunch of Virtue early on in the game.

Fishing Poles

있다 6 available fishing rods, each with its pros and cons.

• Easy Starter – Your starting fishing pole. The worst one in the game, but is free and available from the start.
• River Classic – Decent for catching fish in the river. Costs 400 Virtue at any shrine.
• Rivermaster – Great for catching fish in the river. Costs 1,500 Virtue at any shrine.
• Sea Classic – Decent for catching fish in the sea. Costs 400 Virtue at any shrine.
• Seamaster – Great for catching fish in the river. Costs 1,500 Virtue at any shrine.
• Peerless Pole – Remember that part when I told you that each fishing rod has pros and cons? 잘, I lied. This is the perfect fishing rod, with maxed-out stats in every category. Works equally as amazing both in the river and in the sea. Costs 4,000 Virtue at any shrine.

Considering how fast it is to get 400 Virtue even just by fishing itself, I would highly recommend switching from the Easy Starter as soon as you can. To equip a new fishing rod you need to start the minigame and press ▢ on the Dualshock, X on the Xbox controller or R on the keyboard.

Fishing Bait

Next up is fishing bait. You can catch some even without it, but using it makes fish more plentiful, and rare types of it appear with a higher chance. 있다 4 types of bait:

• 미끼 – 500 월. Can be bought from a General Goods store or a Baitmonger in Rakunai. This is the cheapest option, but is still better than nothing at all.
• Quality Bait – 1000 월. Can be bought from a General Goods store or a Baitmonger in Rakunai. This one is sufficient enough to get most of the fish you need.
• Special Bait – 2000 월. Can be bought from a Baitmonger in Rakunai. It is the second best option.
• Top-grade Bait – 5000 월. Can be bought from a Baitmonger in Rakunai. Extremely expensive in the early game, but attracts a ton of fish. Extremely helpful with catching the Big Tuna.

Now that you know about both fishing rods and the bait, 그것’s time to actually catch some fish. You can tell fish apart by its silhouette in water, the speed with which it moves (or if it moves at all), its size, and in which part of the screen it’s located.

Fishing Spots

있다 4 fishing spots, and all of them can be divided into 3 에게 5 different sections/zones. (These images are a rough estimate, and are not extremely precise)

Fishing Banks

East Coast

Fushimi River

Mukurogai River

Fish Silhouettes

있다 4 types of fish silhouettes.

Fish List

지금, 그것’s finally time to get to work. A lot of the information is taken from Japanese resources, with some personal observations. This list is sorted in the same way as it is sorted in the completion list in the game itself, for ease of navigation (use Ctrl+F to search for the fish you need).

Diligence Records

There are also 5 fishing-related tasks in Diligence Records, 다시 한번, ~에 [Another Life] 탭.

• Apprentice Angler – 잡다 25 물고기.
• Astute Angler – 잡다 50 물고기.
• Authoritative Angler – 잡다 100 물고기.
• Bluefin Beginner – 잡다 10 tuna.
• Bluefin Boss – Catch a big tuna.

All of them are self-explanatory, 하지만, catching a big tuna might be tricky. There is only a 10% chance of the big tuna spawning, and if the first tuna you catch isn’t the big one you need to reset the minigame, because none of the consecutive ones will be big either. Use the most expensive bait to maximize your chances.

If you have some corrections please let me know. Happy fishing!
