Anime Expeditions introduces fishing as a fresh, laid-back minigame amid its intense tower-defense action. Equipped with a fishing rod, players cast their line into designated pools and engage with a simple timing mini-game to reel in fish and earn XP.
Fishing here feels straightforward and relaxing but can throw off new players due to occasional tricky fish movements and the need to stand in water to fish successfully. It’s a neat distraction that rewards persistence and attention.
Before casting off, players should make sure to unlock the fishing rod from the main screen and position themselves near the pool, especially near the Carrot Summer NPC, to fish efficiently.
Fishing unexpectedly adds a fun twist to Anime Expeditions, traditionally a tower-defense game, giving players a break from combat. The feature arrived with the summer content alongside new modes, expanding the game’s activities.
How to Fish in Anime Expeditions
Fishing in Anime Expeditions is user-friendly and accessible, designed to engage with minimal hassle. Players start with a basic fishing rod and can fish in lobby pools. The process involves equipping and casting the rod, then playing a straightforward mini-game to catch fish.
- Click the Fishing Rod icon located at the bottom left of the screen to equip it.
- Move close to a pool area, ideally behind the Carrot Summer NPC.
- Hold down the left mouse button, then release it to cast the line.
- Wait a few seconds for the fishing mini-game bar to appear at the screen’s bottom.
- Click and hold the left mouse button to control the blue bar, aligning it with the moving fish icon.
- Maintain the alignment until the white progress bar fills, signifying a successful catch.
Note that fishing fails if you stand on dry land; drop into the water pools on the map to fish properly.
To fish effectively, standing in the pool is necessary—standing on land prevents successful catches. Simply drop into the water areas on the map to cast your line and fish.
