NieR Replicant - Fishing Guide


Fishing is unlocked when you reach Seafront - and you will during the main story path (it comes after Junk Heap). If you talk to the fisherman at the pier, he will give you a Fishing Rod and Lure. Buy more lures from the Tackle Shop in the Seafront (Lugworms and Earthworms for start during the first visit). Other small fish that you can use for bait can be bought in the nearby Fish Shop in Seafront after you catch them, so you can just buy them if needed.

If you miss Fisherman's Gambit Parts 1-5 (they start in Part One of the story), you can still do them in Part Two, they will not dissapear or become blocked (unfinished). Those are good news! Below you can find details for all fish variations and optimal cronological guide.
