There are a lot of things that players can do in Stellar Blade aside from combat and exploration, including fishing.
The art of fishing may seem out of place in a game where your main objective is to fight grotesque aliens and you would be right to think that way. Despite this, Stellar Blade has a fairly expansive fishing system that not a lot of players have probably mastered.
This guide helps players understand the basics of fishing in Stellar Blade. In particular, this article will tell you how you can unlock fishing and what you can do after gaining access to this relaxing pastime.
How To Unlock Fishing
Before you can enjoy catching various sea creatures in Stellar Blade, you first have to learn how to unlock it. This is a relatively simple process as you only have to get the fishing rod item in the game.
You can get the fishing rod by completing the main story of the game up to the point where you are able to unlock the Great Desert region. After that, you have to travel to the Oasis located in the center of the map, according to Games Radar.

In this area, you will find a small house overlooking the water on the East side. You can head inside and meet the NPC Clyde. They are the ones who will give you the fishing rod and teach you exactly how to use it.
You should keep Clyde in the back of your mind because he is a very important character for fisherwomen in Stellar Blade. This is because of the fact that he is the one who sells bait and Fishing Data items that help you improve your skills.
Catching Fish
After you get the fishing rod, you can start to catch a variety of fish scattered throughout the world of Stellar Blade. The first thing you need to do is find a fishing spot where you can cast your fishing rod, IGN said.
When a fish bites your bait, you need to perfect the minigame that follows in order to reel the fish in and catch it. If you are successful, a short scene will play out where Eve pulls out your catch of the day.
Where To Fish
There are several sizes of fish that you can catch in Stellar Blade; Small, Medium, Large, Gigantic, and Jumbo. The latter two are arguably the most difficult to find and are only found in a few places throughout the game.
There are three Gigantic fish that you can catch; Arowana, Pirarucu, and Great White Shark, which are all found in Eidos 9. For Jumbo fish, there are only two; Whale Shark and Dunkleosteus, which are both in the Oasis in the Great Desert, according to Esports.
