Mastering Fishing in Rune Slayer: A Comprehensive Guide
Doubt Rune Slayer isn't an MMORPG? Its fishing mechanic settles that debate. While not intuitive, fishing in Rune Slayer is achievable with this guide.
Recommended Prep Work

Crucially, you'll need a fishing rod and bait. Conveniently, Simon sells both.

Catching Your "Fish"
Gif by The EscapistSelect your Wood Fishing Rod (placing it in your hotbar suffices). Hold M1 to cast your line into the water (Simon's pier is ideal).
Watch the bobber. One or two ripples signal a bite. Click M1 again to reel in your catch.
Success isn't guaranteed. You might catch nothing, or even junk (which Simon still counts towards your quest). Reel in five catches, regardless of their quality.

Congratulations! You've conquered Rune Slayer's fishing challenge. For further assistance, consult our Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Rune Slayer.
