Yes, you can fish in Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon... and it’s more than just pressing a button at a lake.
First, you’ll need to find the fishing rod. Then you’ll need to learn the mini-game. Here's how to get started.
Where to Find the Fishing Rod
The fishing rod is free, but it’s a bit hidden.
From the starting beach area, head up the mountain toward the ruins, then loop back down toward the lower beach.
You’ll come across a group of enemies near a gate. Take them out, then go left through a small opening nearby.
Inside that area, be careful; there’s a hole you can fall into.
Look for a box, and inside it, you’ll find your first fishing rod.
How to Equip and Use It
Once you have the rod, go to your inventory and equip it like any other weapon.
You’ll need to put it in a weapon slot to use it. Yes, you’re now the proud owner of a weaponized fishing pole.
Now go to any body of water. If it's a valid fishing spot, a prompt will appear telling you to press E to start fishing.
