This guide details all the Genshin fishing spots for the Mondstadt, Liyue, Inazuma, Sumeru, and Fontaine regions (updated for version 4.0).
Fishing in Genshin Impact is an exciting activity introduced as a permanent feature in the 2.1 update. It provides you with a fun optional minigame to hunt down various sea critters with a rod and bait.
How do you unlock fishing in Genshin Impact?
To unlock the ability to fish, you must first accept and complete the world quest entitled “Exploding Population.” Most players will find this automatically added to their quest log after logging in with the update installed.
If, for some reason, you do not have the quest for Fishing, you’ll first have to unlock the player housing system known as the Serenitea Pot.
Speak to the Katheryne located in Mondstadt to begin your fishing journey. The quest will feel similar to a tutorial and guide you through the mechanics and controls.
Where are the best fishing spots in Genshin Impact?
Fish are caught in specific casting areas called Fishing Spots, spread throughout Teyvat.
