Kung nakarating ka sa isang bagong isla sa How to Fish at nagtataka kung aling lure talaga ang sulit itapon sa tubig, hindi ka nag-iisa.

Ang kahangahangang baliw na fishing game ng Dazed Games ay nagsisimula sa mga alimango at hipon bago lumobo sa mga pating, higanteng piranha, mga naghahangad na mandaragit na lumilipad at, kalaunan, isang eksperimento tungkol sa balyena na malamang hindi papasa sa ethics review.

Sa kabila ng kaguluhan, ang sistema ng koleksyon ay nakakagulat na maayos.

May 49 normal creature entries para sa Collector achievement ang How to Fish, na nakakalat sa limang pangunahing lugar: Lighthouse, Forest, Desert, Rocks at Volcano. Ang hiwalay na Drip variants ay binibilang para sa Fishipedia imbes, kaya ang makahuli ng shiny-looking Drip version ay hindi pumapalit sa normal creature entry na kailangan mo pa rin.

Inilunsad ang laro sa Steam noong Agosto 20, 2026, at nakaayos ang progreso sa pagkuha at pagbenta ng isda, pagbili ng mas maayos na kagamitan, pagtapos ng quests at paglupig sa mga boss para makapunta sa mga bagong isla.

Kaya sa halip na isa-isahin lahat sa isang napakalaking lure table, heto ang mas kapaki-pakinabang na bersyon:

bawat isda, bawat lure at bawat espesyal na huli - isla bawat isla.


Lighthouse / Starting Island - Fish, Bait and Creatures

Ang unang hintuan mo ay ang Lighthouse island, at dito ka agad tinuturuan ng How to Fish ng isang mahalagang leksyon: hindi lahat sa Fishipedia ay teknikal na isda.

May pito (7) Collector entries na konektado sa opening area.

Lighthouse creature list

  • Clam - hindi kailangan ng lure; kunin lang mula sa lupa
  • Brown Crab - Crab Fishing Rod / starting pool
  • Blue Crab - Crab Fishing Rod / Lighthouse pool
  • Rock Crab - Crab Fishing Rod + Free Lure o Hot Dog
  • Shrimp - Crab Fishing Rod + Free Lure
  • Lobster - Crab Fishing Rod + Hot Dog
  • Spider Crab - Empty Beer Can, story boss

Best bait to use on the Lighthouse

Kung nililinis mo ang unang isla, ang dalawang mahalagang normal na bait mo ay:

  • Free Lure para sa Rock Crab at Shrimp
  • Hot Dog para sa Rock Crab at Lobster

Ang Brown Crab at Blue Crab ay kabilang sa early Crab Fishing Rod pool, kaya huwag i-assume na kapag nakahuli ka na ng isang crab ay kumpleto na lahat ng crab entries.

Huwag palampasin ang Clam

Ang Clam ay isa sa pinakamadaling makaligtaan dahil hindi mo siya hinihuli gamit ang rod.

Ito ay isang ground creature na puwede mong pulutin sa opening area. Kung nasa huling bahagi ka na ng laro at misteryosong nasa 48/49 creatures ka lang, dapat isa ito sa unang titingnang entries.

Lighthouse boss: Spider Crab

Ang Spider Crab ay hindi kabilang sa normal fishing pool.

Para mag-trigger nito, kailangan mo ang Empty Beer Can mula sa quest chain ng Lighthouse Keeper. Pag natalo ang Spider Crab at natapos ang kaugnay na hand-in, magreresulta ito sa Boat Keys, na magbubukas sa mas malawak na island progression ng laro.

Island 1 checklist: Clam, Brown Crab, Blue Crab, Rock Crab, Shrimp, Lobster, Spider Crab.


Island 2 / Forest - Beginner Lure Fish

Pagbukas ng bangka, ang Forest ang lugar kung saan nagsisimulang kumilos ang How to Fish na parang tradisyonal na lure progression system.

May 11 Collector creatures ang Island 2, kabilang ang normal catches, dalawang creature mula sa Beginner Boss Lure at ang Giant Piranha story boss.

Forest fish and lure list

Free Lure

Gamitin ang Free Lure para sa:

  • Mackerel
  • Gar
  • Pike
  • Goldfish

Pike and Goldfish can also appear with the Beginner Lure, giving you some flexibility if you're filling missing entries.

Beginner Lure

Use the Beginner Lure for:

  • Pike
  • Cod
  • Goldfish
  • Perch
  • Triggerfish

Hot Dog

There's one easy-to-miss crossover from the crab equipment:

  • Piranha - Crab Fishing Rod + Hot Dog

Don't confuse normal Piranha with the Giant Piranha boss. They occupy separate Collector slots.

Beginner Boss Lure catches

Before leaving the Forest behind, spend some time with the Beginner Boss Lure.

It can produce:

  • Sunfish
  • The Old Pike

This is a particularly easy place to lose a Collector entry.

Catching The Old Pike does not mean you've finished the Beginner Boss Lure pool. Sunfish is a separate creature and needs its own encyclopedia entry.

Forest story boss: Giant Piranha

The Giant Piranha is not caught using the Beginner Boss Lure.

Island 2's story route begins with a quest involving three Leeches. Completing it eventually provides the special bait needed to trigger the Giant Piranha encounter.

In other words:

Beginner Boss Lure → Sunfish / The Old Pike

Leech quest → Giant Piranha

They're completely separate progression paths.

Island 2 checklist: Piranha, Mackerel, Gar, Pike, Cod, Goldfish, Perch, Triggerfish, Sunfish, The Old Pike, Giant Piranha.


Island 3 / Desert - Standard Lure Fish

The Desert is refreshingly straightforward if you're only interested in normal fish.

Almost the entire regular pool uses one item:

the Standard Lure.

Island 3 contains 11 Collector entries in total.

Standard Lure fish list

Use the Standard Lure to catch:

  • Angelfish
  • Boxfish
  • Catfish
  • Sea Urchin
  • Seahorse
  • Clownfish
  • Bluegill
  • Salmon
  • Needlefish

That's nine creatures from the same normal lure, making the Desert one of the easiest islands to systematically clear.

If your collection is missing several consecutive Island 3 entries, keep using the Standard Lure before spending money experimenting with anything else.

Standard Boss Lure: Blue Shark

The Blue Shark is separate from that regular pool.

For it, you'll need the:

Standard Boss Lure

The Standard Lure and Standard Boss Lure are different items, so throwing more normal Standard Lures into the water won't eventually produce the shark.

The Tourist quest and the Pufferfish

The other special Island 3 creature is the Pufferfish.

This one is tied directly to the Tourist quest.

The Tourist wants a creature carrying the Endangered Species status. Importantly, this isn't necessarily one fixed species: the useful check is the status shown when inspecting the catch. Needlefish can qualify, but the quest isn't simply a "catch a Needlefish" objective.

Once you hand over a valid endangered creature, the Tourist gives you a:

Carrot

And naturally, because How to Fish operates according to flawless marine biology, the Carrot is what you need for the Pufferfish boss.

Island 3 lure cheat sheet

  • Standard Lure: nine regular creatures
  • Standard Boss Lure: Blue Shark
  • Carrot: Pufferfish

That's the entire Desert collection in three lines.

Island 3 checklist: Angelfish, Boxfish, Catfish, Sea Urchin, Seahorse, Clownfish, Bluegill, Salmon, Needlefish, Blue Shark, Pufferfish.


Island 4 / Rocks - Professional Lure Fish

Island 4 ay kung saan ang pangongolekta ay nagiging mas magastos - at mas kakaiba.

Ang Rocks area ang may pinakamalaking regular lure pool sa laro, na may sampung nilalang na nahuhuli gamit ang Professional Lure bago isaalang-alang ang Tuna at ang Terrorizing Bird sequence.

May 12 Collector entries dito sa kabuuan.

Professional Lure fish list

Gamitin ang Professional Lure para sa:

  • Parrotfish
  • Voxelfish
  • Bass
  • Halibut
  • Eel
  • Tigerfish
  • Flying Fish
  • Sengarat
  • Red Snapper
  • Flounder

Flounder ang dapat tandaan

Kung matagal ka nang gumala sa Island 4 at sigurado kang nahuli mo na lahat, i-check ang entry mo para sa Flounder.

Nakatago ito sa loob ng malaking ten-creature Professional Lure pool at isa ito sa mga nilalang na sulit balikan kapag malapit ka nang makumpleto ang lahat ng 49 entry.

Sa madaling salita, huwag itigil ang paggamit ng Professional Lure dahil nakita mo na ang siyam na magkakaibang species.

May sampu pa.

Professional Boss Lure: Tuna

Ang Tuna ay nangangailangan ng ibang item nang buo:

Professional Boss Lure

At ito ang isa sa mga isdang hindi dapat agad ibenta.

Ang Tuna ay nagsisilbing quest trigger para sa pangunahing kwento ng isla. Sinabi ng lokal na NPC na babalik ang isang napakalaking ibon kapag may nagdala ng Tuna, kaya bahagi ng progression chain ang isda at hindi lang ordinaryong loot.

Albatross / Terrorizing Bird

Pagkatapos mahuli ang Tuna, gagamitin mo ito para ibalik ang Terrorizing Bird, na nakatalaga sa Albatross creature slot sa 49-entry collection.

Kaya ganito ang progression sa Island 4:

Professional Boss Lure

→ Catch Tuna

→ Keep the Tuna

→ Trigger the Terrorizing Bird

→ Kill the Albatross

Mayroon ding mahalagang progression item pagkatapos ng laban: kailangan ng NPC ang Bird's Head bago ibigay ang coordinates para sa susunod na area.

Karaniwang kapaki-pakinabang ang agad na pagbebenta ng lahat ng nahuli.

Mas hindi kapaki-pakinabang ang pagbebenta ng story-critical na Tuna bago mo pa ito gamitin.

Island 4 checklist: Parrotfish, Voxelfish, Bass, Halibut, Eel, Tigerfish, Flying Fish, Sengarat, Red Snapper, Flounder, Tuna, Albatross.


Island 5 / Volcano - Scientific Lure Fish

Ang huling collection area ay may mas maliit na normal fishing pool, pero ang ilan sa natitirang nilalang dito ay nangangailangan ng ibang pamamaraan.

May walong Collector entries na konektado sa Volcano area.

Scientific Lure fish list

Gamitin ang normal na Scientific Lure para sa:

  • Anglerfish
  • Blobfish
  • Oarfish
  • Superdwarf Fish
  • Stonefish

Iyan ang buong regular Scientific Lure pool.

Limang isda lang.

Kaya kung puno na ang limang ito sa encyclopedia mo, itigil na ang pag-aaksaya ng normal na Scientific Lures habang sinisikap pang magpakita ang natitirang tatlong entry.

Hindi sila lalabas.

Scientific Boss Lure: Goblin Shark

Ang Goblin Shark ay gumagamit ng:

Scientific Boss Lure

Ito ay isang optional mini-boss catch at hiwalay nang buo mula sa limang regular na Scientific Lure fish.

Mahalaga ang pagkakaibang ito lalo na sa Island 5:

Scientific Lure ≠ Scientific Boss Lure

Kung bakante pa ang Goblin Shark slot mo, ang pagbalik sa normal na Scientific Lures ay hindi ang solusyon.

Bowhead Whale: Fish Bucket

Ang Bowhead Whale ay bahagi ng late-game quest chain ng scientist.

Instead of a normal lure, you eventually receive the Fish Bucket needed to catch it. The defeated whale itself is then required for the next stage of the experiment, so this is another creature you should absolutely not treat as ordinary inventory.

And that takes us to possibly the least conventional fishing technique in the entire game.

You take the Bowhead Whale to the Volcano.

And throw it in.

Mutated Bowhead Whale

Doing so advances the experiment into the fight against the Mutated Bowhead Whale, the final creature in the 49-entry Collector list.

The full late-game sequence is essentially:

  • Talk to the scientist
  • Complete the required creature objectives
  • Get the Whale bait
  • Catch the Bowhead Whale
  • Defeat it
  • Take the Whale to the Volcano
  • Throw it into the Volcano
  • Fight the Mutated Bowhead Whale

At this point we've moved fairly far away from the traditional concept of fishing.

Island 5 checklist: Anglerfish, Blobfish, Oarfish, Superdwarf Fish, Stonefish, Goblin Shark, Bowhead Whale, Mutated Bowhead Whale.

Missing One Fish? Check These First

Being stuck at 48/49 is probably more annoying than fighting the actual bosses.

Before burning through a mountain of expensive lures, check these commonly overlooked creatures:

1. Clam

It isn't a normal fishing catch. Go back to the Lighthouse and check the ground.

2. Blue Crab

Blue Crab has its own encyclopedia slot. Catching Brown Crab and Rock Crab doesn't cover it.

3. Sunfish

The Beginner Boss Lure has more than just The Old Pike in its pool.

4. Flounder

Island 4's Professional Lure has ten regular creatures. Flounder is an easy one to overlook.

5. Goblin Shark

It requires the Scientific Boss Lure, not the regular Scientific Lure.

These are also among the entries highlighted as worth checking when the 49-creature collection is almost complete.


Collector vs Fishipedia: Don't Mix Up Normal and Drip Fish

One final warning for completionists.

Collector and Fishipedia aren't tracking exactly the same thing.

The Collector achievement requires the 49 normal creature entries.

Fishipedia hiwalay na binabantayan ang mga Drip creatures ng laro. Ang makahuli ng Drip na bersyon ay hindi nangangahulugang puwedeng i-ignore ang karaniwang bersyon, at ang pagkuha ng normal na isda ay hindi rin nagpupuno ng Drip slot nito.

Maaari mong tingnan ang progreso mo sa encyclopedia gamit ang Tab.

Ibig sabihin, ang pinaka-epektibong paraan para sa completion ay karaniwan:

  1. Mag-progress sa lahat ng limang isla.
  2. I-unlock ang mga huling tier ng lure.
  3. Tapusin ang mga story-related bosses.
  4. Buksan ang encyclopedia.
  5. Bumalik sa mga indibidwal na isla lang para sa mga nawawalang normal na entry.
  6. Hunt-in nang hiwalay ang mga Drip variant.

Piliting kumpletuhin lahat bago i-unlock ang mga huling lugar ay magbibigay lang sa iyo ng mas kaunting tools at mas kaunting accessible na fish pools.

The Simple Rule for Choosing Lures in How to Fish

Kung ayaw mong i-memorize ang buong guide, madaling sundan ang basic progression:

Lighthouse: Free Lure / Hot Dog Forest: Beginner Lure Desert: Standard Lure Rocks: Professional Lure Volcano: Scientific Lure

Tandaan din na bawat susunod na isla ay nag-a-add ng hiwalay na Boss Lure, habang ang malalaking story creatures karaniwang nangangailangan ng mga mas kakaibang quest item.

Empty beer cans.

Modified bait.

Carrots.

Entire tuna.

Fish buckets.

Sa isang punto, humihinto ang How to Fish sa pagtatanong kung naiintindihan mo ba ang pangingisda at nagsisimulang tanungin kung handa ka bang tanggapin ang depinisyon nito.

Para sa huling 49/49, ang tamang sagot ay oo.
