Unlike activities like getting a mount for your adventures, fishing can be activated pretty early.

How to get your fishing tools in Towers of Aghasba

For some strange reason, there’s no fishing rod available in the game. That could change in the future as the early access gets more content, but it seems rather unlikely. In fact, you’ll have to use a bow and flint spear.

  • Go and talk to Hao. He can be found on a cliff.
  • This cliff is situated near the lake located in central Amani Island.

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. Personally, 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. Just like in real life, you’ll want to wait for the sun to come up 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 actually 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.
