Fish catching technique

[Pseudonym]

I have figured by now that I suck at catching fish. The timing is merciless! But I am OCD about filling the fishing book, and getting big fish. How does one do it without going insane?

Try to time your clicks to match how the "..." bubbles were popping up. That way you can sort of spam click and not be too slow to catch it or too fast to prevent a fish from getting hooked at all.

"!" icon will form when a fish is hooked... Try to press button when only the "." appears, aka before the full exclaimation mark is formed.

The rarer the fish, the faster the "!" will form.

Thanks, I'll try this.

Yeah, the problem is with rarer fish. I don't have the kind of reflexes for these trials.

This has been working perfect for me. Thanks for the tip.

And to clarify, I've been doing a " tap tap tap pause" rhythm, and the temp being determined by the speed of the three "..." chat bubbles after casting.
Tap once for each "." as it appears in the chat bubble. Hence the "tap, tap, tap, pause" rhythm (the pause being how long it takes for the next chat bubble to start at one "." again). Just keep the rhythm going and I've never had to pay attention to anything, really helpful as I tend to fall asleep on the casts that take 10+ minutes for a fish to bite).

Uh, I have better advice. Some mechanics about fishing:

- As long as you're tapping the button, no fish will show up.
- It generally takes 0.5 to 1 second for an exclamation mark to pop up after you stop tapping. Sometimes it takes more.

So when you start fishing, tap the button without much time in-between. Then slowly decrease the intervals between taps. You're pretty much bound to press the button at the right time whenever an exclamation mark appears.

It's pretty easy to learn and you'll never miss a fish again. If you think it's a bit too tricky to just tap, you can also mash the button with intervals. The method you use just depends on your preference, both are equally reliable.

Well that explains my 10 minute casts sometimes. Would have been great to know before getting 4 Tiger Hearts at the start of Ch 2 (Klaudia Tunnel). It still didn't take very long, I guess I was just slowing down just enough at the right time and never thought twice about it.

Still, nice to know. I'd thank you, but you don't exist.

I had to. Thanks.
