NieR: Automata Fishing Guide: A Relaxing Way to Earn Big

NieR: Automata offers more than just intense android-machine warfare. Take a break from the battles and explore the peaceful side of the game with fishing! This optional activity can be easily skipped, but it's a surprisingly effective way to acquire rare items and earn quick cash without engaging in combat.

How to Fish in NieR: Automata

Fishing is simple and can be done in almost any body of water, even shallow puddles! Just stand still in the water until a fishing prompt appears above your character. Hold the designated button to cast your Pod:

• PlayStation: O
• Xbox: B
• PC: Enter

Once cast, wait for your Pod to be pulled underwater with a distinct "plop." Quickly press the same button to reel in your catch. React swiftly; otherwise, the fish will escape. You can cast repeatedly without limitations.

A helpful plug-in chip displays a fishing icon in the top right corner when you're near fishable water.

Rewards for Fishing in NieR: Automata

Most fish and junk items obtained through fishing are valuable commodities. Selling them provides a safe and fast way to earn money, especially useful for early-game players aiming to upgrade their plug-in chip capacity. Fishing in sewers even offers a chance to acquire the Iron Pipe, a potentially powerful weapon. So grab your rod and reel in some riches!
