Legendary Fishing Ps4 Walkthrough

[Georgeanna Abson]

Thereare 13 Legendary Fish to find and catch in Red Dead Redemption 2. This Legendary Fish guide details everything you need to know about preparing to catch and these more than average fish. In addition, this guide also includes maps that detail the location of all Legendary Fish in RDR2.

Fishing has its own nuance in Red Dead, and understanding that further is important for catching the Legendary fish. They are legendary for a reason, after all. After you're confident in catching normal fish in Red Dead, here are the Legendary Fish lures, bait, and locations you'll need to reel in the big one.

The Legendary Bluegill can be found south of Clemens Point off the shore of Flat Iron Lake. You will discover it if you accept Kieran's offer to go fishing during Chapter 3. To catch the Legendary Bluegill, use a Special Lake Lure.

You'll find the Legendary Rock Bass in the Aurora Basin, at the head of the Lower Montana River to the west of Manzanita Trading Post in the Tall Trees region of West Elizabeth. Use a Special Lake Lure for this fish.

Fish for this Legendary Sturgeon by dropping a Special River Lure off the railroad bridge over the mouth of the Lannahechee River (or rowing out a boat), between Saint Denis and Rhodes in the southern part of Lemoyne.

If you look at the Legendary Fish map that you acquired from Jeremy Gilll, you'll find that all of these fish will be marked on your map as you get close to their location. Check out the comparison between your world map, and the paper map, to find them. Or, you can click on the individual fish pages to see where to find their location.

Once you've caught a Legendary Fish, store it on your horse and immediately head to the nearest post office. Keeping the catch on your horse, you can mail it to Jeremy Gill. After 24 hours, you'll receive your reward for you fish.

There are apparently a few legendary fish in Stardew Valley, each located in a special spot and quite difficult to catch. I managed to catch the Angler fish (I think a fairly nice RNG helped me out), but some of the other fish just seem too difficult to catch.

Are there any tricks or tips for making catching these fish a little easier? I believe my fishing level is either 8 or 9 at the moment, and I've got an Iridium rod, so I can use tackle. The bobber that slows the fish down doesn't seem to do the job with some of these fish; they simply move too quickly!

The Glacierfish and Crimsonfish are much more difficult to catch due to how quickly they will jerk from the top to bottom of the scale. I have yet to catch the Legend; however, I was met with success in catching the other 4 by doing the following:

2) Purchase or craft a few Cork Bobbers and Trap Bobbers. The Cork Bobber (750g or 10 wood, 5 hardwood, 10 slime) expands the fishing bar. The Trap Bobber (500g or 1 copper bar, 10 sap) slows down how quickly the fish escape while not being reeled in. The bobbers will degrade, and having 2 of each will allow you to do a full day of fishing with no problem.

4) Keep trying and don't give up! If you're really tight on time, find a day with the perfect conditions (no crops to tend to or other responsibilities), and at the worst you can always 'Quit to Desktop' before the day is over to give it another day's attempts.

Other Advice:

For fish that like to jerk around in the water, always try to just barely have them caught. That way, when they dive up or down, you can react much more quickly and don't have to move as far.

I've probably spent several hundred hours fishing since EoD was released and have even shared a few things in this section previously, but a few months back I put together a guide to help my guildmates who were working on completing the fishing achievements. I've decided to go ahead and share it with everyone else as well! Best of luck and happy fishing!

My experience differs somewhat with respect to location, but to be expected if one believes its all RNG anyway. With respect to efficiency and all other variables being equal, your cast per time is going to make a difference over the long run, which you have indicated with many of your recommendations. My only addition would be that, if you are chasing Saltwater & World Class collections, as these can be realized with Open Water casting, I have found success simply by remaining in Canthan waters and not moving about from one fishing hole to another, in which you lose time and cast opportunities in doing so.

I have not fished over the past month, but unless they have changed things I found the greatest adversary/frustration to fishing was the closing of maps, and the fact that your stacks don't carry through map changes. Given the time to build a fishing stack, it can seriously derail any time commitment much beyond 60 minutes. Some maps are more susceptible to frequent closing than others, so when planning a significant fishing expedition, assessing the maps in that context can help...

Yeah agree that RNG absolutely factors into fishing, but there definitely seem to be some maps that yield better fish than others (I'm keeping the maps I use for catching legendary fish to myself lol!). Personally I haven't had a whole lot of luck casting in Open Water in regards to Saltwater/World Class fish, but I also tend to repeat the Saltwater Collection rather often (27x and counting) so I don't see much need to change my approach there.

And unfortunately nothing has changed in regards to maps closing and losing fishing stacks as a result. I didn't really touch upon it in my guide, but the only advice I can really offer there is to be aware of what time certain metas and world events start and finish on the map(s) you plan to use at any given time. Wait until 5-10 minutes after that meta/event should be finished before moving to the map and starting fishing, as those maps most often close shortly after the meta/event has ended. Another thing I'd recommend is to wait out the map closure if you've already built up a sufficient amount of fishing stacks. Of the last 4 map closure messages I've seen in the past week, 3 of them vanished after about 30 minutes when the map repopulated. Another thing to consider is don't hesitate to ask if anyone on the map is willing to share their fishing stacks when you first arrive. 9 times out of 10 if someone else is out there fishing they're usually happy to share!

I always forget about that!! Due to the fact that the EoD maps close so frequently due to population changes I tend to avoid them as much as possible unless I'm specifically working on repeating a collection (95% of my time fishing I'm focused on catching legendary fish).

I don't believe it does, as you may notice in the description it specifically mentions "Increase chance to find rare materials from mining, logging, and harvesting". I use the Magic Find guild boost instead. I don't know that MF improves on your chances of catching better fish or not, but I figure it's better than nothing.

Can a moderator please explain why this was moved from Players Helping Players to Community Creations??? This is a guide made to HELP PLAYERS. Community Creations seems to be more focused on players showing off guild halls, racetracks, outfits etc. that are not created with the purpose of helping other players.

It's called creativity exhibitions. Sad to see you view community creations as showing off and not helpful. I considered these creations as very helpful because they give creators/builders an idea of what can be done or improved. Just because one does not like it does not make it not useful. I don't fish at all so should I consider your guide as not helpful at all?

No need to get so defensive. I never said anything about not liking the posts in Community Creations and I have posted there myself several times. But my point still stands that the Player Helping Player sub-forum sees a lot more traffic than the Community Creations sub-forum (as based upon thread interactions and replies), so moving a thread designed specifically to help players to this sub-forum seems extremely counter-productive. I'm very disappointed that the forum moderators saw fit to do so and would like to know why.

Nice guide, thank you for sharing. One great tip someone gave me was to set the minimap clock show Tyrian Time from General Options -> In-Game Clock. Personally I haven't been fishing much after getting CSAMM and the shiny rod, but still find it a relaxing thing to do sometimes.

Also, some feedback about the additional tips section: when fighting off mobs around your anchored skiff there's no real need to hurry. Just pull aggro away from the skiff and take your time killing the mobs. If you stay close to your skiff it should not vanish. Can't remeber the exact despawn range but it's quite far away, 3000 units or so. The 'losing association' timer is there to show how much time you have for summoning a new skiff (to retain the fishing party stacks) in case you lost the earlier skiff. There were people reporting their skiff despawning when the timer ran out but this bug should be fixed by now.
