Nightingaleis anopen-world role-playing gamethat hit Steam in Early Access on February 24th, 2024. Due to the stunning graphics and relativity to real-life fishing situations,Nightingaleleaves many other games behind in the fishing department.
To go fishing in the game, players must first complete a set of requirements that enables them to craft a fishing rod. These includebuilding a Simple Workbench, buying the blueprint for the fishing rod, and eventually preparing it. Keep reading as each step formerly mentioned will be discussed below.
How to Craft a Fishing Rod in Nightingale
A fishing rod is an essential component for obvious reasons. However, to begin the crafting process, players must first complete a prerequisite: building a Simple Workbench. The Simple Workbench’s use isn’t limited to curating a fishing rod; it’s also used to craft numerous items that aid a player’s gameplay experience inNightingale. Furthermore, to build a Simple Workbench, players needtwo types of resources in abundance.
Once the Simple Workbench is created, players can start crafting the Fishing Rod. To do so, players must firstpurchase the rod’s blueprintfrom anEssence Trader in the Abeyance Realm. As the purchase is completed, players must acquire a few resources to craft the fishing rod. These resources include:
How to Win the Fishing Minigame
The fishing mechanics inNightingaleclosely resemble real-life fishing scenarios. Once players find a location where there’s water present, they’ll have to left-click on their mouse to dip the fishing rod into it. As a marine creature takes the bait, left-clicking the mouse again would initiate the fishing minigame.
Though the term sounds confusing, it really isn’t. The fishing minigame can be considered a game of tug-of-war between the players and the marine creature, where players have to use their character’s stamina and force to lure the fish towards them.
As the players attempt this, they’ll notice the red bar on the fish depletes. This suggests that the marine creature is close to being caught. However, at the same time, players must be mindful of their character’s stamina, which reduces as they consecutively left-click their mouse to capture the fish.
To prevent this from happening, players can leave the left click on their mouseuntil their stamina regenerates. However, during stamina regeneration, players will notice the fish’s red bar returning to normal. Hence, they must ensure they don’t regain stamina for too long.
Furthermore, the creature will try to escape the fishing rod, increasing its tension. If the tension surpasses a certain caliber, the fishing rod will break, and the fish will successfully run. To prevent this, players can maneuver near the fish and try to keep the tension in the center. This can be achieved by clicking on one’s left mouse after short intervals rather than constant tapping.
