Sandfishing

Sandfishing

Sandfishing is a mechanic that allows the player to catch sand-based fish. Utilizing the sandfish traps, the player can cast the trap into designated fishing spots.

Controls

Casting a trap

1. To cast the sandfish trap, the player needs to approach a fishing spot, identified by the ⁠⁠ Fishing Spots icon on the map and a quicksand pit in the overworld.
2. The player needs to select a bait by highlighting the option.
3. Use the mouse to aim and left-click to toss the bait out. The bait will slowly sink into the sand and eventually disappear over time.
4. Fish will approach the bait and stop to eat it. The player needs to then switch to the sandfish trap.
5. While holding left-click, use the mouse to aim the trap. A circle will appear and the fish will be highlighted if aimed properly.
6. Release the left-click to deploy the trap before the fish flees.
   • Other fish nearby will panic and flee from the bait once the trap is deployed.

Whether or not the player catches the fish, stamina and bait are consumed and time passes.
