How to Get and Fishing Tips

Obtained by fishing in the Desert

The pier is recommended

You can fish anywhere in the Desert fishing spot, but the pier is recommended. You can move immediately after catching a fish, and your view won't be obstructed by sandstorms.

Buy Sardines at the Tackle Shop

Sardines become available at the Tackle Shop in Seafront after clearing the quest “The Fisherman's Gambit”. It takes many tries to catch one, so it's a good idea to buy as many as you can.

Tips for Catching Hyneria

Pull the rod after the bobber moves 3 times

The type of fish you can catch differs depending on the bite. Hyneria is a fish that can be caught by pulling the rod after the bobber reacts 3 times. Ignore the first and second pulls on the bobber.

Tilting the stick diagonally is important

Compared to less difficult fish, you won't be able to deplete Hyneria's health gauge unless you tilt the stick in a more precise direction. Be conscious of tilting the stick diagonally opposite to the fish's position. The key is to always look for the direction that reduces its health gauge.

Increase your fishing skill before trying

Hyneria is very difficult to catch, and you won't be able to fish for it properly until you've completed the fishing quests and raised your fishing skill. It's recommended to take on the fishing quests in Seafront before trying.

Also available for purchase at the Fish Shop

Hyneria is added to the Fish Shop's lineup as you progress through the fishing quests. Since you need to catch all of them for the fishing quests anyway, there's almost no point in buying them from the shop.
