How to Fish

To start fishing in No Rest for the Wicked, you'll need to get your hands on a Fishing Rod. Fortunately, it's one of the first items you can find in the game. The Fishing Rod can be found west of your starting location, just under the first Cerim Whispers tower. Look for it on the shore, near a corpse.

  • Once you've obtained the Fishing Rod, it's time to put it to use. Equipping the Fishing Rod is simple. Open your inventory and drag the Fishing Rod into the item slots. This will equip the Fishing Rod for use.
  • Now, head to the shore of the sea. If there are fish to be caught in the area, you'll see a prompt at the top of your screen instructing you to press the Interact (E) button. Keep an eye out for bubbles on the surface of the water or fish jumping out, as these indicate the presence of fish.
  • With your Fishing Rod equipped, and the fish spotted, follow the on-screen prompt to interact with the water and cast your line. Then, wait patiently for a fish to take the bait. When you see the bobber move or feel a tug on the line, press the Interact button again to capture the fish.

Once you have fish in your inventory in No Rest For The Wicked, you can use them in two main ways. Firstly, you can cook them into meals to heal yourself, though you'll need to unlock recipes that require fish. On the other hand, if you need money for gear or repairs, you can sell it to a merchant.
