NieR: Automata Fishing Guide: A Relaxing Way to Earn Big
NieR: Automata offers more than just intense android-machine warfare. For a tranquil alternative, try fishing! This optional activity can be easily skipped, but it's a surprisingly efficient way to acquire rare items and generate quick cash without the resource drain of combat.
How to Fish in NieR: Automata
Fishing is accessible in almost any body of water, even shallow puddles. Simply stand still in the water; a fishing prompt will appear above your character. Hold the designated button to initiate fishing:
- PlayStation: O
- Xbox: B
- PC: Enter
Once your Pod is cast, wait for it to be fully submerged with a distinct "plopping" sound. Quickly press the same button to reel in your catch. Reaction time is crucial; a delayed response means losing your fish. You can cast repeatedly without limitations. A helpful plug-in chip displays a fishing icon when you're near fishable water.
Rewards for Fishing in NieR: Automata
Most fish and junk items acquired through fishing command high resale values, providing a safe and rapid method for early-game wealth accumulation, particularly useful for expanding your plug-in chip capacity. Fishing in sewers even offers a chance to obtain the Iron Pipe, a potentially powerful weapon.
