Harold has heard rumors about “guardian fish” living in the local waters, and his daughter is eager to see one for herself.

Since Harold isn’t much of a fisherman, he’s asking for your help in catching one of these elusive fish.

Prerequisites

  1. Golden Fishing Rod+ or higher
  2. (Recommended) Guardian Bait

How to Complete

Here are some easy-to-find Guardian Fish that can be caught using the Golden Fishing Rod+ in the town’s waterways.

Guardian Fish Season Weather Location
Black Carp Spring, Autumn Any weather Center and West of Town
Catfish Spring, Summer Rainy, Stormy Center of Town
Grass Carp Summer, Autumn Any weather Center and East of Town
Koi Winter Sunny, Snowy West of Town
Note: More types of guardian fish can be caught with a higher-level fishing rod.

Go to any water source that matches any Guardian Fish’s availability and cast your line.

When a Guardian Fish bites, a special red fish bubble icon will appear above your character to indicate it’s a Guardian catch.

Catching a Guardian Fish can be tough because the Fishing Rod’s duration timer drains quickly, and you’d need to follow 20 or more prompts. Missing even one prompt will cause the timer to drop rapidly.

Tip: To slow down the timer you can eat food with Rod Durability Up (Lv. 1–4) effect, or you can buy the Reel Power Technique from Felix’s Fixings for 30,000 G to instantly reduce a fish’s stamina.

You can increase the chances of hooking a Guardian Fish by using Guardian Bait, which you can craft at the Blue Windmill using Fish Bait Stock, Weeds, and Fish Bones.

Once you successfully catch a Guardian Fish, just deliver it to Harold to complete the request.
