How to Catch Mussel in Heartopia

Fishing in Heartopia is generally easy, but mussels are a tricky exception. They seem simple to catch at first, but many players struggle to find them, even with a Fishing Level of 4. This guide will explain everything you need to know to successfully find mussels in Heartopia, including when and where they appear.

Where to Find Mussels in Heartopia

You can only find mussels in Suburban Lakes, which are situated along the road between residential areas and the town center. Unlike what you might expect, mussels aren’t found in rivers, even if those rivers flow into the lakes.

Mussels are quite sensitive to the weather. You can only find them when it’s raining, snowing, or during a rainbow. They won’t appear on sunny, cloudy days, or during meteor showers. Since rainbows happen often in Heartopia, that’s the best time to look for mussels. If it’s not raining and there’s no rainbow, it’s best to save your bait and try again later.

Mussels can reproduce anytime, but they’re easier to catch in the evening, especially after the sun goes down. To maximize your chances of finding them, fish in the Suburban Lakes as sunset nears, and begin fishing whenever it rains or when rainbow weather appears.

How to Catch Mussels in Heartopia

To catch Mussels in Heartopia, you’ll use the regular fishing system. When you’re in the right location, equip your fishing rod and cast your line. While reeling in, watch your fishing line carefully. It will change color – from white to yellow to red – to show how much tension there is.

Okay, so if you’re trying to snag a Mussel, a couple of items really help. The Mermaid Attractor basically makes more fish show up, which means a better chance of a Mussel spawning. And the Mermaid Perfume? That’s a lifesaver because it makes managing the line tension way easier, so you can fish for longer without getting tired of it. You can grab both of those from Vanya, so definitely check her shop!

Mussels aren’t super common, so you might catch a few other fish first. Don’t get discouraged – it usually takes around 10 to 15 tries before you finally catch one.
