NieR: Automata Fishing Guide: Reel in Rewards and Riches

NieR: Automata offers more than just android-machine warfare. Explore a less violent side with fishing, an optional activity easily skipped but rewarding nonetheless. While it won't boost your levels, fishing provides a simple method for acquiring rare items and quickly earning money without combat. Here's how to fish and what treasures await.

How to Fish in NieR: Automata

Fishing is accessible 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. Fishing uses a single button to cast and reel:

• O (PlayStation)
• B (Xbox)
• Enter (PC)

After casting, wait for your pod to be fully submerged with a distinct "plop." Quickly press the reel-in button; reacting too slowly results in a missed catch. 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 are valuable, offering a safe and efficient way to earn money early in the game, particularly for expanding plug-in chip capacity. Fishing in sewers presents a chance to obtain the Iron Pipe, a potentially powerful weapon.
