In the prologue, the ship is destroyed, and players need to equip the corresponding tools before they can perform certain operations. For example, you need to equip an axe to cut trees, and a fishing rod to fish. This article will introduce how to get a fishing rod in the early stage.

1.How to get a fishing rod

The fishing rod is located on the west coast of the spawn point. After talking to the NPC on the initial beach, start heading west, cross the wooden bridge, and follow the leftmost path all the way to a small coastal area shown in the figure below. Refer to the position in the figure, the blue loot is the fishing rod. But be aware that there are enemies nearby.

If you have enabled the tutorial in the settings, you might trigger a backstabbing tutorial here. There is an enemy next to the blue loot in front of you. Press C to sneak, then attack to backstab. After backstabbing, a few more normal attacks can easily kill the enemy.

Fishing in this game is not difficult. As long as you are near the water, if you can fish, a prompt to press E to fish will appear at the top of the interface. Places where you can fish will usually have a few small fish jumping on the water surface, just find such a waterside.

Stand in the right position and press E to cast the line, then wait for the fish to bite. When the fish bites, there will be obvious vibrations on the screen, and the fishing rod will bend. At this time, press E to reel in the rod to successfully fish. If it’s not successful, you can repeat this step.

After catching a fish in the early stage, you may not have obtained a fish-related recipe yet. After obtaining the recipe, you can cook at any bonfire.
