If you hook a Megalodon, probably best to just throw the rod in the water and run. As you can probably guess, trophy fish are worth a lot more money, and there are commendations for selling 25, 50 and 100 trophy fish respectively. Trophy fish are larger and the text on them will make it clear that they are trophy versions, saying as much to make it clear. There are dozens of breeds of fish, but each one has a trophy variant that will put up more of a fight. Prices vary substantially, but cooked fish are worth more than raw fish, but burnt ones are worth the least of all, so be careful not to overcook them. Their stalls are marked by a symbol of a fish between a shark's jaws.

You can pawn off cooked and raw fish of any kind to The Hunter's Call, a ragtag company of survivalists who have somebody at every outpost. When the fish is nearly done, the steam will thin out and nearly disappear altogether. Steam is a good way to check - put it in for the first time, and there'll be a lot of it. Once you put it in there, there's no easy way to guess how long it'll take, especially with different fish needing different cooking times, so you'll have to watch it to see when it looks properly cooked. If you have a fish in your hand, you can eat it now if you want to puke from food poisoning, or take it to a stove (there should be one below deck). It'll stay on the line, but you can pick it up and put it in your consumables inventory (sadly there's no option to wield it as a melee weapon yet). Repeat this process until you pull it close to the boat and out of the water. However, it won't be long before it gets a second wind, and you'll have to exhaust it again. Once the fish is tuckered out, the line will go notably slack, which is when you want to start reeling in. | Joel Franey/USgamer, Rare/Xbox Game Studios Putting different kinds of bait on the line will attract different fish. The camera will judder about if the line is about to break, so use that to gage your actions accordingly. If it heads directly away from you, pull up. If it swims to the right, pull to the left. Don't press the interaction button to reel it in yet, just use the mouse/analog stick to pull the rod away from whatever direction the fish is going. Too much tension on the line will cause it to snap and let the fish escape, so the trick here is to keep a certain amount of pressure so that the fish tires itself trying to get away, then reeling it in once it stops to recover.

Once the fish has bitten down, you'll have to exhaust it before you pull it in. The shape will bite onto the hook and now it's you versus nature. This can take a little time, maybe even a minute or two, so don't be impatient. After a while, the camera should start to move independently, focusing on a shape in the water.

You can do this even if the ship is moving. Now there should be an option for bait, though you can fish without it depending on your location, as some fish are stupid enough to bite on an empty hook without any provocation.Īfter that, simply cast your rod into the sea. One year in, it certainly appears that the game has come into its own.Once you have the rod equipped and in your hand, you can put bait on it - if you have any - by going back into the item menu. Those who have a subscription to Xbox Game Pass can access the game at no additional cost.
#Fishing sea of thieves windows
Sea of Thieves is currently available for Xbox One and Windows 10. The update, with all its new content and feature, will release in just a couple of weeks, on April 30. You can just plug your harpoon into something solid, and your ship will start going sideways like the hot rod it can be. Those can be used to grab floating items, to latch onto enemy ships and reel them in (after all, it’s all about fishing, isn’t it?) or even to hook onto islands for some healthy galleon drifting.
#Fishing sea of thieves upgrade
You’ll also be able to upgrade your rods and enjoy the learning process required to catch rare fish.Īnother interesting feature is the harpoon gun, of which each ship will get a pair. Specifically, we get to see the upcoming fishing feature, which will tie up with cooking and the ability to grab some cold-hard cold by turning in your catches to the appropriate NPCs.
