How to catch fish in No Rest for the Wicked

The fishing minigame in No Rest for the Wicked isn’t really considered a minigame, as it’s incredibly easy to catch fish. All you have to do is walk up to a body of water containing fish and press the “E” key to throw a line in the water.

After that, just wait until you notice a fish biting the bobber. It’ll start to move around, letting you know a fish has latched onto it. Then just hit the “E” key again and you’ve caught your fish! At this point in the game, you probably don’t have any cooking recipes containing fish, but once you do you can cook fish at any campfire you find. There’s a campfire northeast of the location where you found the Fishing Rod.

This isn’t the last tool you need to collect, make sure you also find a Shovel to use at those mysterious dig spots.
