How to fish safely in the sky ?

[Teteh]

I tried everything, shelter, invisibility potion, everything.
But I can't keep myself safe from all these harpy and this ****** wyvern :/

How am I supposed to complete that sky-fish fishing quest when an armade of numerous flying creatures are trying to rip my head off ? Any ideas ?

A little roof should take care of the harpies, so unless you're getting a lot of wyvern spawning you should be okay. (Would planting sunflowers up there for the happy buff help maybe?) What you want is a wall that goes up, over, and most of the way back down over water (not quite touching so it doesn't interfere with lake size) so that the only way in is by swimming.

If you're trying to accomplish it solo, Summoner loadout could help a bit, depending on which minions you have access to. Another trick is to cap out the mobs spawned on screen, wait to find a harpy, build a shelter around your self. Get her to come close, then build a prison around her, repeat over until mob spawn cap is hit. Any wyverns yo uspy kill so that you can finish spawning harpies and not worry. It might take a while, and you need to make sure you're by your fishing spot or else they will depsawn if too far.

i'm pretty sure he's a mini boss so spawns using the rare mob chance

Just build a box/house (about the minimum size of a NPC house) on top the water, and make the floor all wooden planks. It will help against the Harpy at least.

Or worst case you could just build an artificial Sky lake low enough that they don't spawn. Or you could just skip those quests. I never reeally see the skylake ones come up too often, when they do a lot of the time its a skylake or surface option.

The main problem is the wyverns, they pass through blocks :/
Also, they're supposed to be rare but I got 4 wyverns in a row, dying each time, maybe I should get better gear before trying to fish up there :/

My BF, friend and myself built a box to prevent harpies from getting in, then put a small NPC house uptop there and a NPC we won't be using a lot of and could care less for. Prevent wyverns and is safe from harpies :D

Peace Candles is also helpful to reduce monster spawn rate, but combine that with the sunflowers Happy! buff, you get nearly no hostile spawning in the area

in not-hardmode, you can use bee armor and three imps will drop harpies.

In hardmode, there is no way to avoid Wyverns completely.

NPC would stop pretty much any hostile mob from appearing. So I guess you could build your town near a sky lake.
