Fishing Guide [ENG]

Overview

This guide explains: How to fish? With what kind of bait to fish at which location? How are the odds?

Introduction

Some things you might want to know about fishing at Graveyard Keeper can be found at this guide. So here are some spoilers inside!

I tried my best to keep the guide clear and so I decided to sort this guide after the locations and make sections for them. I`ve done three popular guides for “My Time at Portia” and I hope, this one will be helpful and popular too.

Basics & Tips

First of all: There are five locations (see the sections on the right) where you can fish. You can get three different rods and use eigth different baits. Daytime is important too!

• Simple Fishing Rod
  (given to you by the fisherman at Lighthouse Keeper for bringing him five moths)

• Good Fishing Rod
  (can be bought from the fisherman)

• Excellent Fishing Rod
  (can be bought from the fisherman)

• Butterfly
  Can be found at flowers during day

• Moth
  Can be found at flowers during night

• Maggot
  A compost result

• Lure with a gem
  Can be bought from the fisherman (can not be used with Simple Fishing Rod)

• Steel Lure
  Can be bought from the fisherman

• Anchovy
  Caught by fishing

• Gudgeon
  Caught by fishing

• Fishing without any bait

The natural baits are consumed after a successful fishing try and the two lures have a durability.

How to fish?

It looks like a major problem for some people to realize how the fishing mechanic at Graveyard Keeper works. So I am going to explain it.

• 1. If you are at an fishing spot and an rod is equipped, you can press E.
• 2. Now you can choose your bait at the bottom of the screen.
• 3. You can press and hold E again and choose one of three throwing sections (short, medium, long). If one section shows only 0% and you try to fish there, you`ll lose energy for nothing.
• 4. Now you have to wait until the float pops up and press E. There is also be a sound played. But you must have a good reaction!
• 5. A minigame starts and you have to keep the yellow bar at the height of the fish by using E.

If you have trouble with the fourth point, you can eat “Fish Nuggets” (can be bought from Horadric in the Dead Horse) before you try, because it buffs you and gives you some extra reaction time.

Pond/Village

There is a pond in the north of the village and normaly it`s the first fishing spot you find. I`ll list now, how the chance are at day/night, with one of the three fishing rods and what kind of bait work.

Waterfall

The Waterfall is in the north on the west side of the river and can be discovered after you finished the bridge, which makes it possible to visit the swamp too.

Swamp

If you finish the bridge accross the river in the west, you can get access to the fishing spot at the swamp. Normaly you`ll find the one at the waterfall before, but maybe not.

River

Normaly the last spot you explore. The spot itself is in the north and you get access, if you destroy the barricades in the north of the church or the one in the west; north of the swamp. But I dont think finding the locations will make any trouble.

Sea/Ocean

Sea/Ocean can be found in the east, north of the Lighthouse Keeper. Its the only fishing spot you can get the “Goldfish” for the achievement “Gold fish – Got a gold fish. Want to make a wish?”.
