How do I fish in Infinity Nikki?
In order to fish in Infinity Nikki, you need to unlock the fishing ability outfit, Rippling Serenity. Luckily, you unlock this outfit during the first chapter of the main story quest, when Timis asks you to catch a brushie for her in Florawish.
After unlocking Rippling Serenity, the game automatically equips the outfit to your ability wheel, allowing you to easily switch between it and your other ability outfits. With the fishing ability selected, approach a body of water with ripples and fish silhouettes, then press the ability button to cast your line. The game will notify you when you get a bite. From there, you simply need to pull the rod in the opposite direction to where the fish is swimming until its stamina is depleted, then repeatedly tap the reel button.
Larger and rarer fish may require you to repeat this process several times, but don’t worry – Infinity Nikki fishing is very forgiving, so you won’t lose your haul unless you actively choose to let go!
How do I get Infinity Nikki fish essence?
In addition to their base material, some fish also provide essence, which you need in order to craft certain sketches. In order to obtain fish essence, you first need to upgrade your fishing ability through the Heart of Infinity skill tree.
There are three different nodes that allow you to obtain fish essence in different parts of Miraland, each of which costs fishing insight, bling, and whimstars – however, you need to unlock them in order. Once you unlock the specific nodes in the Heart of Infinity, you can then obtain essence when catching fish in the corresponding areas.
Here are all the different types of Infinity Nikki fish essence we’ve found so far:
- Quillfin essence
- Toque fish essence
- Carryfin essence
- Ruffin essence
- Lamp fish essence
- Whisker fish essence
- Ribbon eel essence
- Handkerfin essence
- Kerchief fish essence
- Tulletail essence
How do I track Infinity Nikki fish?
After you’ve caught a fish for the first time, you can then track that fish through the in-game map. You can do this by opening your map, selecting the book icon in the bottom-left corner of the screen, heading to the tab with the fish icon, and finding the fish you wish to track in the list. You then simply need to hit the ‘track’ button, and the game will highlight the nearest location on your map.
The highlighted location then appears on both your main map and your minimap. When you catch all the corresponding fish in the highlighted area, the game continues to highlight different locations until you’ve caught them all. If you want to cancel tracking, you can open the map and hit the ‘x’ button next to the tracking message.
How do I unlock precise tracking for Infinity Nikki fish?
After you’ve caught a certain quantity of a specific fish, you can unlock precise tracking for it. Instead of highlighting a general area, precise tracking shows you the exact location of the fish you’re tracking, making it much easier to find them.
In order to unlock precise tracking for an Infinity Nikki fish, you need to collect either 100kg, 60kg, or 20kg of that specific fish, depending on the quality of the fish. You can check your progress at any time by heading to the in-game map, opening the collections book, selecting the fish, and checking the number at the bottom of the window.
That’s all the Infinity Nikki fish we’ve seen so far, but we’ll be sure to update this guide if Infold adds any new fish in future Infinity Nikki updates.
