Fishing is among the most common side activities found in modern Japanese role-playing games, so no one should be surprised that Atelier Sophie 2: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Dream features it as well.

In this game, however, fishing is more than a simple side activity, considering the game’s focus on item creation. You will also need to fish at least once to progress in the story.

Here’s how to fish in Atelier Sophie 2: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Dream.

How to Fish in Atelier Sophie 2: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Dream

Before you can start fishing in Atelier Sophie 2: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Dream, you will first need to create a Fishing Rod via alchemy. And before you can create this item, you will first have to obtain its recipe and required materials.

The Fishing Rod alchemy recipe is obtained during the early game automatically, so make some progress in the story if you haven’t obtained it already, and you will get it soon enough. Once you have obtained this recipe, you will also need Tasty Looking Bait, which is also obtained automatically, Lumber, and two units of Threads. The latter items are also incredibly common, and it is likely you already have them by the time you get the Fishing Rod recipe.

With all these items in your possession, head to your atelier to create the item. With it, you will be able to fish at any of the game’s fishing points to get even more items for all your alchemy needs!
