NieR: Automata's world offers more than just android-machine warfare. Fishing, a surprisingly lucrative and relaxing pastime, provides a non-violent way to acquire rare items and earn quick cash. This guide details how to fish and what rewards await.

How To Fish In NieR: Automata

Fishing is accessible in almost any body of water, even shallow puddles. Simply stand still in the water; a fishing prompt will appear above your character. Holding the designated button initiates the fishing process. The mechanics are straightforward: cast and reel.

• Cast/Reel:
  • PlayStation: O
  • Xbox: B
  • PC: Enter

After casting, wait for the pod to be fully submerged with a distinct "plop." Quickly press the reel-in button. Reaction time is crucial; a delayed response results in a lost catch. You can cast repeatedly without limitation.

A handy plug-in chip displays a fishing icon in the top-right corner when fishing is possible.

Rewards For Fishing In NieR: Automata

The rewards from fishing, whether in ponds or sewers, are primarily sellable items, offering a safe and efficient method for early-game wealth accumulation, especially for expanding plug-in chip capacity. Sewers hold a chance of yielding the Iron Pipe, a potentially powerful weapon depending on your luck.
