How to Fish FAQ
Short answers to common route, save and collection questions. Open the linked guide for version details and source notes.
01How do I get euros in How to Fish?+
Sell Money in a Bottle or Crab Carcass catches to a merchant. Find the bottle beside the palm on a tiny sand island, or collect Crab Carcass from three sandy patches with bones. Check the € sale offer before selling; ordinary dollar catches fund a different wallet.
Follow the euro route02Where can I buy the Bow?+
Look for the small rocky islet with archery targets around a circular castle-like wall. Find the robed NPC and Bow display there, then buy the weapon with euros. Finish a creature with an arrow to complete Hobin Rood.
Find the Bow seller03What is the latest How to Fish update covered here?+
The official announcement feed checked October 16, 2026 lists Patch 1.1.3 as the latest patch. It follows the September 28 Islet Update and adds Fishipedia bait hints after a creature’s first kill. The update guide also covers the 1.1.2 Tench and radar fixes.
Read the Islet Update guide04What should I do first in How to Fish?+
Catch a fish, defeat it, sell it and use the money to prepare for the next quest or boss. Follow the beginner route when you need the first equipment and hand-in order.
Open the beginner guide05How do I reach the next island?+
Finish the active quest and required boss, then hand in the correct item before following the Radar route onward. If the next island is still blocked, compare your current hand-in with the island progression guide.
Check the island route06How do I move my How to Fish save to another PC?+
On the PC that still has the progress you want, open the game and exit normally once so Patch 1.0.12 can upload that save to Steam Cloud. Let Steam finish syncing before opening the second PC; pause if the two devices show conflicting progress.
Check Steam Cloud steps07Where do I find Bing Bong and Coconut bait?+
Players report a tree with three coconuts near the center of the third island. Reach its purchase prompt from the slanted trunk or a nearby rock, buy a Coconut and use it as bait; this route is a dated community report.
Follow the Coconut route08How do I track Drip creatures for Fishipedia?+
Fishipedia asks you to find and kill Drip creatures. Since 1.1.3, the in-game log shows bait names after a first kill, which helps when returning for a Drip form. The browser tracker now includes the Crab Carcass pool and Manta, with separate normal and Drip marks; use the game to confirm completion.
Open the Drip checklist09Can I play How to Fish with friends?+
Yes. Official Patch 1.0.4 expanded lobbies to as many as eight players. If friends cannot join or the session disconnects, start with the co-op symptom checks before changing unrelated settings.
