NieR: Automata offers more than just android-machine warfare. Explore a less violent side with fishing, a completely optional activity that can yield surprising rewards. While it won't boost your combat level, fishing provides a quick and safe way to earn money and acquire rare items without engaging in combat.
Fishing is accessible in almost any body of water, even shallow areas. Simply stand still in the water; a fishing prompt will appear above your character. Hold the button to cast your Pod. Fishing uses a single button:
After casting, wait for the Pod to be fully submerged with a distinct "plop" sound. Quickly press the reel-in button. Reaction time is crucial; a delayed response means losing your catch. You can cast repeatedly without limitations. A helpful plug-in chip displays a fishing icon in the top right corner when fishing is possible.
Most fish and junk items acquired through fishing are valuable commodities. Selling them provides a fast and safe method for accumulating early-game funds, particularly useful for upgrading plug-in chip capacity. Fishing in sewers offers a chance to obtain the Iron Pipe, a potentially powerful weapon.
