Genshin Impact 2.1 Update is around the corner and with that comes along many new features and events. One of the features coming alongside with 2.1 Update is the fishing feature. Previously, you could only catch fishes by manually catching them, blowing them up using Klee, or using a bow character. But all of those fishes were to cook, these can be used for many purposes. The new Genshin Impact fishing feature adds a lot more gameplay than expected.
There will be plenty of fishing spots all across Teyvat where you may catch fish with fishing rods and bait. Only once you’ve unlocked the Serenitea pot System and completed the “Exploding Population” quest can you begin fishing. Each region has a unique fishing rod that is more effective in that area. The fishing rod is a free reward from the upcoming Lunar Realm event quest. These specialized rods are available at each region’s Fishing Association.
Genshin Impact Fishing feature Gameplay:
Once you’ve obtained a fishing rod, you need to craft bait to catch fish. The Mondstadt Fishing Association can provide you with blueprints for making bait. You can use them to make bait at any Crafting Bench when you learn them. It’s worth noting that different types of bait attract different types of fish.
If you notice ripples in a nearby body of water, you’ve found a Fishing Point. To begin fishing, approach this Fishing Point and interact with it using the Cast Rod option. Fish are extremely aware of their surroundings. If you approach too closely or engage in fighting actions, the fish will become terrified and scatter, taking a long time to calm down and return to the water body.
You need to hold the cast button and aim at the area nearby the fish. Once a fish gets attracted to your bait and is on the hook, press the Raise Hook option to get the fish struggling. After they do, a fish tension meter appears on the screen, which can be controlled by holding and releasing. The idea tension zone is the yellow one, if you miss out on it, this fish will escape. So you need a lot of practice before you perfect fishing.
About SpiritCloud Pool:
There are tons of different fishes you can catch in every region. A new feature added alongside fishing is that you can keep the fish you catch in the Serenitea Pot. This is possible with a help of a new piece of furniture named “SpiritCloud Pool“. You can raise all the fish in here. The SpiritCloud Pool will have the capacity to store 5 fish at one time.
The new Genshin Impact fishing feature looks interesting and a fun new gameplay mechanic that miHoYo has added in a while. It’s to be noted that this feature is permanent to the game and not limited to the Lunar Realm event. The 2.1 Update is going to be a fun-filled one with the most awaited characters and is one to most look forward to.
