Where can you use the fishing rod

You can fish in most natural water bodies. Calm, shallow areas work best and reduce wasted attempts. Using the bone hook and your fishing rod, you are set to take on the fishing adventures in the Green Hell.

Common fishing spots include:

  • Riverbanks
  • Lakes and ponds
  • Slow-moving jungle streams

Avoid deep or fast-flowing water, as fish are harder to catch there.

Fish types and rewards

Fishing provides different fish depending on location, all offering solid nutritional value.
