NieR: Automata Fishing Guide: A Relaxing Way to Earn Big
NieR: Automata offers more than just intense android-machine warfare. Take a break from the battles and explore the calmer side of the game with fishing! While not directly contributing to leveling up, fishing provides a surprisingly efficient method for acquiring rare items and quickly accumulating gil without the resource expenditure of combat.
How to Fish in NieR: Automata
Fishing is remarkably simple and can be done in almost any body of water, regardless of depth. Simply stand still in the water until a fishing prompt appears above your character's head. Holding the designated button initiates the fishing process:
- PlayStation: O button
- Xbox: B button
- PC: Enter key
Once your Pod is cast, wait for it to be fully submerged with a distinct "plopping" sound. Quickly press the same button again to reel in your catch. React swiftly; otherwise, the fish will escape. You can cast and recast repeatedly without limitation. A helpful plug-in chip displays a fishing icon in the top right corner when you're near fishable water.
Rewards of Fishing in NieR: Automata
Most fish and junk items acquired through fishing are valuable commodities, providing a safe and fast way to earn money, particularly useful for early-game players aiming to expand their plug-in chip capacity. Fishing in sewers even offers a chance to obtain the Iron Pipe, a potentially powerful weapon depending on your luck. So grab your rod (virtually, of course!), and start reeling in those rewards!
