In Palia, aside from a variety of in-game activities ranging from story quests to creating a cozy home, it's sometimes worthwhile to take a break and indulge in fishing. The fishing mechanics in Palia are somewhat reminiscent of other farming simulators, but they have unique features worth exploring. The game offers the opportunity to catch over 100 unique fish, each inhabiting a distinct environment, having specific preferences for bait, and certain times of the day for optimal fishing. In this article, we'll delve into how to catch Sardines and Eyeless Minnow.
Where to Find Sardines
Sardines can be found along the shoreline, although for some reason, they avoid the shores near Kilima Village. To locate Sardines in Palia, it is recommended to head to Bahari Bay and explore the following locations:
- Shore near Lighthouse Lagoon
- Pier near Old Lighthouse
- Shore at Beachcomber Cove
How to Catch Sardines
Unlike some fish that require specific bait, Sardines prefer a simple hook. Moreover, they don't adhere to a specific schedule and can be found at any time of the day. To catch Sardines in Palia, visit one of the mentioned locations, cast your line, wait for the fish to bite, and reel it in. The standard rod you acquire at the beginning of the game is sufficient, although it might take a few attempts before successfully catching a Sardine. Once you've caught a significant number of Sardines, you can use them for cooking or sell them for 23 Gold each. Star-quality Sardines can be sold for 34 Gold.
Where to Find Eyeless Minnow
To locate and catch the Eyeless Minnow in Palia, head to Kilima Village or the Bahari Bay area and fish in local caves. Fortunately, the Eyeless Minnow is a common fish, allowing you to fish all day without using any bait. Recommended locations include the cave lake in Pavel Mines near the Flooded Fortress, especially in areas with water ripples for an increased chance of catching a quality version of the Eyeless Minnow.
Living in caves for an extended period, the Eyeless Minnow lost its sight due to lack of necessity. This fish type resides in calm cave waters and is unaccustomed to resistance and violence. Optionally, fishing next to another player reduces the difficulty of catching any fish, making it easier to keep the float in the green zone.
How to Use Eyeless Minnow in Palia
Despite its relative simplicity, there are several ways to utilize the Eyeless Minnow:
- For cooking fish meals.
- Some NPCs may request this fish as part of weekly quests.
- You can sell the Eyeless Minnow for 20 Gold or 30 Gold if you catch a quality version of this fish.
