Hytale Fishing Guide

In Hytale, players can fish, trap, and cook a variety of fish found in the game’s lakes, rivers, and oceans. With the right techniques, fishing can provide a never-ending supply of food.

This guide explains everything you need to know about fishing in Hytale, including the pros and cons of each fishing technique.

How to Catch Fish in Hytale

In Hytale, you primarily catch fish by using fishing traps. These are items you can craft and place on any water surface. After a short wait, the trap will activate and catch fish, treasure, shells, and other underwater items. Fishing traps are also the only source of Salt Blocks in the game.

Each fishing trap can only hold one item at a time. You’ll need to empty it by hand to use it again.

You can put Fish Bait in Fishing Traps to make them work better. The bait attracts fish, so you’re more likely to catch one instead of other items, and it also makes the trap activate much faster. Without bait, a trap takes 20 to 40 minutes to work, but with bait, it only takes about 5 to 10 minutes.

Fishing traps are not consumed upon use and are considered reusable items.

Both Fishing Traps and Fish Bait can be crafted at a Tier 2 Farmer’s Workbench in Hytale.

Item Crafting Station Recipe

Fish Bait Farmer’s Workbench (Tier 2)

  • Essence of Life x5

So, as of right now, there’s no actual fishing minigame in Hytale. It’s a bummer, I know! But the devs have hinted that they’re planning to add one in a future update, which I’m really excited about!

In Hytale, players can hunt and kill fish using weapons. However, this only gives you Raw Fish – you can’t actually obtain the fish as an item. There’s no way to catch fish by hand or with a fishing rod.

How to Use Fish in Hytale

In Hytale, you can turn any fish into Raw Fish using a Chef’s Stove. The amount of Raw Fish you get varies based on how rare the fish is – rarer fish produce more!

Fish Rarity Yield
Common Fish 1 Raw Fish
Uncommon Fish 2 Raw Fish
Rare Fish 4 Raw Fish
Epic Fish 8 Raw Fish
Legendary Fish 18 Raw Fish

You can tell how rare a Fish is by the color of its icon in your inventory. If it’s colorless, it’s common. Green means uncommon, blue means rare, purple means epic, and gold means legendary.

You can cook raw fish at a Campfire using fuel to make Grilled Fish. Grilled Fish is a food item that restores health.
