Fishing in Metaphor ReFantazio: How to unlock and all bait answers

Apart from popular gameplay elements such as turn-based combat, party management, and boss fights, Metaphor ReFantazio also has a wealth of side activities for players to partake in. One of these is the age-old human tradition of sitting in front of a water source to acquire some aquatic creatures, or as we say in simple terms - fishing.

It is possible to fish in Metaphor ReFantazio, and there are even unique types of bait that can be acquired to lure in sea creatures. Below is a guide on how to unlock fishing, and the answers to all the bait questions.

How to unlock Fishing in Metaphor ReFantazio

Fishing is only unlocked once Heismay joins the party. It is unmissable, as it is a part of the main campaign. There is a fishing rod on the main deck, from where a prompt appears to allow players to start fishing.

There are three kinds of bait to choose from while fishing, and they can be acquired as follows:

Worm Bait: Purchasable from the Bug-Selling Boy in Martira for 100 Reeves.

Grasshopper Bait: Purchasable from the Bug-Selling Boy in Martira for 250 Reeves.

Tail Bait: Tail Bait is much rarer than the previous two baits, and is not found easily. Cleaning the Gauntlet Runner's storage room will reward players with two Tail Baits. Additionally, a man at the Arenafront Wharf in Port Brilehaven will ask for one Medicinal Herb, and in return for the herb gives players one Tail Bait.
