How to fish in Towers of Aghasba

Getting the equipment is just one part of the task. You’ll find plenty of fish to catch in the lake, and you’ll need to use one of your two equipment. I found it easier to use an arrow for its ease.

You’ll want to catch a fish that comes closer to the surface. Otherwise, it will be impossible to aim and hit the creature while it’s in the water. For similar reasons, you’ll want to use an elevation to get a great vantage point. Additionally, it’s impossible to catch any fish in the dark. Like in real life, you’ll want to wait for the sun to rise before you can enhance your fishing skills.

There are three benefits of catching a fish.

  • You can cook the flesh to prepare some delicious recipes.
  • You can feed it to carnivorous animals.
  • You can collect the bones, which are crafting materials.

That’s pretty much it when it comes to fishing in Towers of Aghasba. Based on the Shimudex, there are 40 different types available in the early access build, and more could be added as part of the next few updates.
