Can You Remove Bait?

[ChrisPharmD]

I spent a while Googling this the other day, but I didn't think it was a big enough deal to make an entire thread about it, but it's driving me a little crazy.

I just want to get to the bait menu that shows the difficulty and how to choose No Bait.

Bro I'm actually dumb. I spent a long time trying to figure this out and found it literally one second after posting this.

The icon has to be above your head.

By default, you press the E key when the fishing icon pops up. But yeah, it took me awhile to figure this out too because I normally don't stand still long enough for the shortcut buttons to pop up.

I know, right?!

The only reason I found it was because I picked up my phone to post this and the game was still while I was typing this.

When I looked up, the menu was just sitting there as I went to grab my controller.

BTW, it's RB on controller. I respect the M/KB but this is the type of game I sit back while playing.

Also, I started the game over because I wanted to change the language to Japanese and it forces a restart. So. can I go grab the Masterwork Rod from Reel without the story being messed up or does going to that city change anything about the story? I talked to the King of Krosse and picked up Claire, but I want to fish in Kurik with the Masterwork Rod because there's a fountain in the middle of the city.

I have a similar question that is probably blatantly obvious.

How do you apply Fishy Fragrance to your bait??

On M/KB, it's X by default. The shortcut menu calls it chum.

It's fine to go and pick it up. Story doesn't change nor advanced if you go to specific locations early since the game kind of lets you explore, but it's still technically linear.

LMAO I actually forgot about that! I was wondering that, too!! I guess because I didn't plan on burning the only 1-2 I had, I just forgot about it. But I also wondered that because I was sitting there like, "Okay, I don't see it in this menu and I can't use it from the item menu."

So thanks for asking that.

Alright cool. I just didn't know if you lose Celene if you go straight there or if you lose out on PAs.

Because you can lose out on a PA in Silva if you go to Krosse and initiate the timed event where the three eyed guy runs past you. It's the one where you buy Rena a necklace. I mean, unless it comes back later or something.
