Question About Panic Immunity While Fishing?

[Finzz]

So obviously the time passes while you are doing the fishing or dredging mini game. And I’ve noticed that you don’t seem to ever be attacked nor do you accumulate panic while you are still inside of the mini game. Is there anything preventing you from intentionally failing the mini game to pass nighttime when you are far away from a dock or light buoy?

I've been attacked when in a minigame many times.

There are different types of attacks.

Creatures that exist in the world and move in real time can attack you during fishing. The night fish that looks like a boat from a distance, the long tunnel monster in gale cliffs, etc.

The random encounters do stop during the minigame, but will hit you even during the day if you are insane (which you often will be if you spent the night fishing). They are based on passing game time and the game will roll one event.

If you fished the whole night to avoid an attack, the game will queue one up for you and send it shortly after you start moving again. You might not even notice it if your insanity level is low, it could be a still twister way in the distance. If your insanity level is high it is usually one of the direct attack ones (or rocks if you are in a low level area).

Yeah I hadn’t had this happen until I made this post, so I guess I was just getting lucky.
