NieR: Automata's world offers more than just android-machine warfare. Fishing, a surprisingly lucrative side activity, can be easily overlooked but provides a peaceful way to acquire rare items and earn quick cash. Unlike combat, it doesn't require resource expenditure.
This guide explains how to fish and what rewards await.
How To Fish In NieR: Automata
Fishing is possible in almost any body of water, even shallow areas. Simply stand still in the water; a fishing prompt will appear above your character. Holding the button initiates the fishing mini-game. A single button controls casting and reeling:
- O on PlayStation
- B on Xbox
- Enter on PC
After casting, wait for the pod to be pulled underwater with a distinctive "plop." Quickly press the reel-in button; otherwise, the fish escapes. You can cast repeatedly without limitations. A helpful plug-in chip displays a fishing icon in the top-right corner when fishing is possible.
Rewards For Fishing In NieR: Automata
Most fish and junk items found while fishing are valuable commodities. Selling them provides a safe and efficient method for quickly accumulating funds, especially useful for early-game plug-in chip upgrades. Fishing in sewers offers a chance to obtain the Iron Pipe, a potentially powerful weapon depending on your luck.
