How To Fish in Palworld
Now it's complete experience.
It was only a matter of time before everyone’s favorite mini-game made its way to Palworld as well. Yes, you can now fish in Palworld as part of the Terraria crossover update, and it’s surprisingly addictive thanks to a pretty engaging mini-game and opportunities for improved gear and catch.
Here is how fishing works in Palworld, what equipment you’ll need, and how to make sure you never miss.
Fishing in Palworld
To start fishing in Palworld, you’ll first need the proper gear. This means crafting a Fishing Rod that won’t betray you when you have something on the line. Then you’ll need Bait to bait the Pal fish, and catch them by completing the mini-game. I’ll break down the steps on how this works.
Unlock the Fishing Rod
Like every important thing in Palworld, the Fishing Rods have to be researched in the technology tab first. There are three types currently available, and you’ll have access to the basic one at level 15 of the Technology section.
| Fishing Set | In-Game Image | Technolgoy Points Required | Technology Tier |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beginner Fishing Set |  | 2 | 15 |
| Intermediate Fishing Rod |  | 2 | 25 |
| Advanced Fishing Rod |  | 3 | 45 |
Craft Fishing Rod
Once you have researched the Fishing Rod, you need to craft it at the High Quality Workbench. Each rod type requires different ingredients.
| Fishing Set | In-Game Image | Recipe |
|---|---|---|
| Beginner Fishing Set | | Paldium Fragment x10 Pal Fluids x3 Ingot x8 Fiber x8 |
| Intermediate Fishing Rod | | Paldium Fragment x30 High Quality Pal Oil x10 Cement x10 Fiber x30 |
| Advanced Fishing Rod | | Paldium Fragment x70 High Quality Pal Oil x20 Cement x15 Fiber x30 |
Craft Bait
The fishing rod is just one part of fishing; you’ll also need bait to lure in the fish. Bait can also be crafted at the High Quality Workbench.
| Bait Type | In-Game Image | Recipe |
|---|---|---|
| Simple Bait x10 |  | Pal Fluids x2 Red Berries x4 Flour x2 |
| High Quality Bait |  | Pal Fluids x2 Tomato x4 Flour x2 |
| Deluxe Bait |  | High Quality Pal Oil x4 Onion x4 Carrot x3 Flour x4 |
Now that you have the bait and the fishing rod, you can start fishing.
Fishing Mechanic in Palworld Explained
Fishing is pretty much possible everywhere there is water. So, head over to a beach, and you’ll see silhouettes underwater, which are pretty obviously fish pals.
- Aim your rod right above these shadows, and wait. Eventually, the fish will take the bait, and you’ll see an alert sign. This is your cue to pull the line.
- Once the fish is hooked, a mini-game will start, and you’ll see a fish icon above a bar move around. You have to keep the green bar below it in its position, so everything is green.
- Keep doing this till the meter above is filled up, and you’ll catch the fish.
This is the loop of fishing in Palworld. Better bait and equipment will result in better catch, and if you really enjoy the activity, you’ll want to invest in both.
Fishing In Your Base
While it’s great that you can fish in any water mass in Palworld, if you want to wish at your base, you can build a Fishing Pond or a Large Fishing Pond at your base after researching both in the technology tab.
| Fishing Pond Type | In-Game Image | Technolgoy Points Required | Technology Tier |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fishing Pond |  | 3 | 31 |
| Large Fishing Pond |  | 4 | 55 |
That should get you started on your fishing journey in Palworld and find all sorts of aquatic Pals for your collection.
