π Where to Find Fishing Spots in Palworld
Fishing spots are found in lakes, rivers, and oceans across the world. Look for dark fish-shaped shadows moving in water. These indicate active fishing spots and vary by rarity:
Fishing Spot Tier | Example Locations |
---|---|
Beginner | Plateau of Beginnings (starting zone), lakes near Rayne Syndicate Tower |
Intermediate | Deep Sand Dunes (desert), Land of Absolute Zero (snow area) |
Advanced | North of Bamboo Groves, northeastern lakes |
Master | Scorched Highlands, Feybreak Island, pond above waterfall near Shield Dragon Tunnel |
Tip: Aim at the shadow to see the spotβs rarity. Higher-tier spots yield rarer Pals and better loot!
π How Fishing Works
To fish in Palworld, follow these steps:
- Craft a Fishing Rod (Beginner, Intermediate, or Advanced).
- Equip bait in your inventory.
- Approach water with visible fish shadows.
- Aim and cast your line close to the shadow.
- When you see β!!β, quickly press to hook.
- In the minigame, keep the green bar behind the fish icon.
- Fill the meter completely to catch the Pal!
If the fish escapes the green area for too long, the meter resets and youβll lose the catch.
