Hello knowledge-thirsty Vikings if you are here then you want to discover how to fish in Valhiem. This simple art can sometimes create more than one problem, but I will try to tell you all about fishing and how to get the fishing rod you will need for it
How to get a rod and bait in valheim
The fishing rod is one of the few tools in the game that you cannot create. You’ll buy this item from the merchant Haldor, who you’ll find in the Black Forest.
The location of the merchant is random for each world, but when you are near him, the icon of the pouch will appear on the map.
how to fish valhiem
Once you have obtained a fishing rod, place it on the shortcut bar under any number. Approach a larger body of water (river, lake, ocean), select the rod and make sure the bait is in the inventory.
Now hold down the left mouse button. A circle will appear on the screen representing the strength of the cast. The longer you hold down the button, the farther you will cast the rod. Release the button so that the float with the bait falls into the water.
Now wait for the fish. When one approaches and causes a ripple at the bait spot, press quickly and hold down the right mouse button. The screen will show the word Catch. Now all you have to do is pull the prey ashore, holding the right button the whole time. When you’re done, the raw fish will go into your backpack – you can now bake it and eat it or use it to make a more valuable meal.
