How to catch Ropefish

Use the Fishing Rod. The exact approach depends on the creature’s category and, for shore-dwellers, its species type.

1. Cast the Fishing Rod into the right water: rivers and lakes for freshwater fish, coastal waters for saltwater fish.
2. Wait for the nibbles, then strike when the line bites down.
3. Higher-quality saltwater fish need a slow reel-in. Keep the line from snapping instead of holding the button down.

Where and when to find it

Habitat: Lowland Lake. Distribution: Islet Specialty from Taffeh Zone T31 — this is an islet specialty, so plan it into a Starsea Voyage rather than a planet sweep..

Season: Year-Round. Time: Nighttime. Weather: Any Weather. If two of those tags are restrictive, check the creature tracker before you set out.

The rope fish belongs to the Polypteriformes order, whose species are quite different from what we typically think of as "fish" from the ray-finned group.

The rope fish can "stand" using its pectoral fins and breath air directly. With its elongated body and subtle fins, it looks more like snake than a fish.

But don't worry—accidentally stepping on one won't make you jump at the sight of ropes for the next ten years.
