Roots of Pacha Fishing Tools

Everyone starts with the Handaxe as a versatile tool that allows you to fish, farm, and chop to your heart’s content. With it, you can catch most tiers of fish (1-3) but it is a little more difficult. On Summer 9 with a Clan Prosperity of 54,000 you can upgrade to the Harpoon when an Idea named A New Way of Fishing becomes available with Inza.

There are also a few stations you can build around your home that will increase the Contribution value of the fish.

  • Fermenter
  • Pickler
  • Smoker – Cannot process Cubomedusa, Medusalion, Oyster, or Sponge
  • Solar Dryer – Cannot process Oyster

How to Fish

To catch fish in Roots of Pacha, you must complete the minigame. First, enter the body of water with your fishing tool of choice and select Fish. this will open a small circle that looks like a pond. After a moment, little shadows of fish will appear. You will need to slowly move your cursor toward the shadow. If you move too quickly, the water will ripple and scare off the fish.

As you hover over the shadow and follow it around the pond slowly and steadily, it will reveal the outline of the fish you’re catching and a green meter below will begin to fill. When it’s completely full, it will say Catch Now. Use your action button and pull it in.

Sometimes, the fish will start to notice your presence and you’ll get a cue to Move Away. I found it easiest to move my cursor in front of the path, as if leading the fish, so when the cue goes away you can quickly and easily get back to the fish without losing too much progress on the meter.

Higher-difficulty fish will have more bars on their meter than lower-difficulty fish.
