InMetaphor: ReFantazio, you’ll likely come across items called bait that are tucked away in some rather unexpected places. While it’s obvious they’re meant for fishing, it takes a while before this actual purpose becomes clear.

Fishing takes place on the Searunner — the Gauntlet Runner modified for navigating the treacherous seas of Euchronia. Heismay will join you during the activity, and the type of bait can lead to specific catches as long as you choose the right response to the dialogue prompts. These marine ingredients will come in handy for cooking dishes that have useful benefits.

The Metaphor: ReFantazio protagonist, Heismay and Gallica fishing on the Searunner.

How To Fish

Fishing exclusively happens on the Searunner, and to unlock the activity, you’ll have towait until 08/14, right after you attend Louis’s Soirée.

You’ll need tocross the ocean for this, and fortunately, Neuras will have already made thenecessary modifications to the Runnerto handle the waters.
