How to Fish in Assassins Creed Valhalla

Players wanting to learn how to fish in Assassins Creed Valhalla can often find it a struggle to figure out how it works just by playing the game. Even though the game itself will ask the player to perform missions for certain NPCs that require knowing how to fish.

If you find yourself in this boat, pun intended, don’t fret as today we have you covered with our guide on how to fish in Assassins Creed Valhalla. Including everything you need to know to get started.  

How to fish in Assassins Creed Valhalla

To begin fishing in Assassin’s creed Valhalla, you first need to unlock the ability to do so. Head to the docks in Ravensthorpe and build a Fishing Hut. Once you do, you’ll be ready to start catching fish and delivering them to Arth. He will also have some requests for you to take on and gain rewards for doing so. 

To start fishing you can go to any large body of water and scroll through the action wheel and select the fishing line. Then cast it into the water and perform the required actions. This involves some button mashing and directional inputs. Once you get used to this small mini-game, fishing will be a breeze. 

Now that you know the basic mechanics of fishing. There are a few more tips you should know to take full advantage of the Fish in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. 

• Travel around using fast travel as much as you can. Doing so can reveal different types of fish in every location you visit. 
• Meditation can increase the number of fishes that spawn in an area. And also causes fish to spawn in places where you can’t seem to find any. 
• You can use Odin’s Sight to see when a fish is getting closer to your hook and when to reel it in. 
• Similarly to real life, the deeper the water, the more likely you are to catch fish. So if you do struggle to find fish, sail out into deeper water to increase your chances.
