How to get the catch in Genshin Impact: Refinement materials and required fish locations

The Catch is a brand new 4-star polearm only available for Genshin Impact players who utilize the new fishing mechanic. They must first capture 6 Raimei Angelfish, 20 Golden Koi, and 20 Rusty Koi. Afterward, they will have to exchange those fish at the Inazuma Fishing Association to obtain The Catch. However, acquiring the refinement materials is a different matter altogether (Ako's Sake Vessel).

The Catch's secondary stat is Energy Recharge, and its ability is known as Shanty. It can effectively increase the user's Elemental Burst DMG by 16/20/24/28/32%. It also increases the Elemental Burst CRIT Rate by 6/7.5/9/10.5/12%, making it a highly desirable weapon.

This guide will cover how you can easily obtain The Catch and its refinement materials by fishing in Genshin Impact.

Genshin Impact players can refine The Catch by acquiring four Ako's Sake Vessels from the Inazuma Fishing Association. Speak to Kujirai Momoji, as each Ako' Sake Vessel costs:

• 3 Raimei Angelfish
• 10 Pufferfish
• 10 Bitter Pufferfish

In total, players will need 12 Raimei Angelfish, 40 Pufferfish, and 40 Bitter Pufferfish to refine The Catch fully.

All fish locations for The Catch

Raimei Angelfish is needed for both acquiring The Catch and refining it. Genshin Impact players will need 18 Raimei Angelfish in total and can only collect these fish in a single location. They require False Worm Bait to catch.

Note: It only spawns between 18:00 to 6:00. These fish can be found east of Tartarasuna, where there are some broken ship parts in the water.

Golden Koi requires Fake Fly Bait to catch them. Unlike the Raimei Angelfish, these fish will spawn at any time. They are generally found in the same locations as the Rusty Koi, but there is one notable difference.

Players can fish for Rusty Koi east of Mondstadt, while Golden Koi are near Stormbearer Mountains. Otherwise, they spawn in the same places.

This interactive map is something that some Genshin Impact players might find beneficial. Rusty Koi also requires Fake Fly Bait to catch them. They're generally found in the same areas as the Golden Koi.

Pufferfish spawn in five locations. Players need to collect 40 of them to refine The Catch fully. They require Fake Fly Bait to catch.

Note: They're not always in the same location as the Bitter Pufferfish. Likewise, they might not show up in the waters of some fishing spot locations as other fish may spawn instead.

Players also need 40 Bitter Pufferfish to refine The Catch fully. They also require Fake Fly Bait to catch. They share some of the same spawns as regular Pufferfish but also have some unique spawns unrelated to them.
