Walkthrough

Kindly Kojin is just outside of Tamamizu at The Ruby Sea (X:27.3, Y:13.2).

Disambig icon.png This article is about the mechanics after the overhaul in patch 6.0 with the launch of Endwalker. For the previous version of spearfishing, see Spearfishing/Old.

Spearfishing involves a mini-game wherein players strike fish as they swim across the screen.

New Spearfishing Features

Weak Spots

Fish are caught by striking their weak spot as they swim through the teeming waters.

Spearfishing overhaul4.png

Certain fish will have a distinctive appearance, indicating they are guaranteed to be large-sized when caught.

Spearfishing overhaul5.png

Wariness

Nearby fish will take notice of your actions in the teeming waters, their wariness represented by a gauge at the top of the spearfishing interface. Wariness increases slowly over time, as well as with each strike of your spear. When the gauge is full, the fish will disperse, ending your spearfishing attempt.

Spearfishing overhaul6.png

Catch Counter

Successfully catching fish in quick succession will increase your catch counter (up to a maximum of ten), which slows the rate at which wariness increases. Be mindful, however, that the counter may reset should you go too long without catching any fish.

  • To abandon a spearfishing attempt, press the Escape key, or the Quit action.
