If you want to take a break from fighting, then fishing is an excellent way to spend your time in Stellar Blade.
Stellar Blade isn't all about slashing up Naytiba. You can enjoy some leisure activities, like collecting items, or even fishing. It isn't available right away, but once you get it, it can be a hassle trying to get used to fishing in Stellar Blade.
Let us guide you through unlocking it, casting the line, and catching enough to fish to get the Lonely Fisherman trophy.
How to unlock fishing in Stellar Blade
It isn't particular hard to unlock fishing in Stellar Blade. The toughest aspect of it is time. You have to play the game for a handful of hours, until you complete enough main story missions to reach the Great Desert.
Once you, Adam, and Lily travel to the Great Desert location, you can meet Clyde. Just head over to the small lake to the east of where your crew lands. Talk to Clyde, who isn't up for much a conversation. After, you can grab the fishing pole off to the side and take part in the minigame.
This begins the Looking Glass mission. You just have to successfully catch one fish, then Clyde will finally talk to you. Chat with him to learn his story, then you can truly begin fishing all around Stellar Blade after Looking Glass is completed and you've earned rewards, such as bate and Gold.
How to fish in Stellar Blade
Once you have the fishing pole, you can find a fishing spot to cast. From there, if a fish bites, you've got to perfect the minigame to reel it in and catch it. Here is the order of controls you need to know to fish properly in Stellar Blade:
- Hold Down on the D-Pad and select the fishing rod from the equipment wheel
- Press Down on the D-Pad to to equip the fishing rod
- Pull down and then push up on the Left Stick to cast
- Press R2 to start the minigame when a fish bites
- Tilt the Left Stick the opposite direction of where the fish is swimming
- Press Square rapidly to weaken it
- Hold R2 at the right sensitivity, inside of the blue area, to reel in the fish
- Repeat steps 5-7 until the bar depletes and the fish is weak enough to catch
- Press Triangle or lift up your controller to complete the catch
A small scene will take place where EVE pulls the fish out of the water. It'll hang there from the line as its statistics appear on the screen.
