You can unlock the fishing ability within the Backwaters region, located southwest of Ossex on the path toward Nox’s Bayou. Travel one screen south from the location of Buffo the jug frog to spot a sign marking the local fishing hole. If you have the Steady Soles trinket equipped, you can simply burrow-jump across the water. Otherwise, you must navigate the moving platforms and spend one kear to activate the bridge.

Upon arrival, strike up a conversation with the resident fisherfolk to trigger a scripted event. Once this unavoidable incident concludes, you will be rewarded with the fishing rod, enabling you to cast your line into both shallow and deep waters.

How to fish in Mina the Hollower

Your fishing rod functions as a sidearm and consumes two joules per use. The mechanics are straightforward: press your sidearm button to cast, once more to release the lure, and a third time to reel it in. While the lure is submerged, maneuver it to collide with a fish shadow. Mina will automatically initiate the reel-in sequence once a shadow is hooked or if the lure sits undisturbed for a few seconds.

Note that shadows are not exclusively fish; you might pull up other items, including:

• Roses: Restore your health.
• Tulips: Replenish your plasma.
• Plasma Vials: Standard restoration items.
• Bombs: Explosive surprises.

When you do hook a prize, carefully guide it toward yourself. If you are fishing over deep water and fail to pull the catch onto solid ground, it will slip back into the depths. Additionally, exercise caution—certain catches are hostile and can inflict damage upon contact.

Once your catch is landed, you must attack it as you would any other enemy. Only after “defeating” the creature will you earn its associated trophy.

Every region on the map hides at least one unique species, which can be caught in any body of water within that area. Collecting all 16 species allows you to return to Durwin at the fishing hole to claim the Gilded Rod—an upgraded sidearm with an extended casting range. Completing this collection also grants you the “Fishin’ Reactor” achievement.
