Lightning harpoon tip minigame too difficult

[Ashkendar]

The fishing minigame when having the lightning tip on your harpoon requires absolute perfection in order to catch a fish. I feel it should be given a bit of leniency.

There are actually a few different strategies you can employ.

- If you make your first 1 or 2 strikes deeper into the green zone, then in effect the bar started going up later. I find if I hit the green too early each time the bar dips just below the threshold before time is up.

- That said you can also stack an orange on top of 4 greens if you get your 4 greens early.

- Even more crazy if you literally land 4 perfect greens, you can even get a yellow segment, I don't recommend this one as it is incredibly hard to do, given you need to hit the green so close to the yellow zone, and even reacting in time to hit the yellow is hard.

That said out of all the harpoons this one is the most difficult, and the threshold being just a tiny bit lower would go a long way.

This harpoon is so annoying to use it shouldn't be that difficult one green check should be enough.

I also agree, that this is by far the most frustrating harpoon minigame.
I don't think it feels great to fail a catch if you consistently hit the green zone on all attempts. Some re-balancing of this would be nice.

true! i always land it on green and technically landing it on green zone should guarantee the catch and not work as in "fail" despite you not failing, kinda ridiculous design on that harpoon they should make it better.

I have to agree with the OP. I got perfect greens and still failed the catch. Then each attempt afterwards failed too. This is totally unlike every other harpoon tip, and the chain damage is really low *and* randomly kills fish, why would you want that? I think I'll be avoiding lightning tip from now on, just like I avoid poison tip (because it kills the fish without counting as a harpoon kill)

Agreed, I avoid the lightning harpoon tip for exactly this reason.
