Template:Project improve adTemplate:Race infobox
Fishin's all about attitude. Attitude! There's nothing you can't catch with the right attitude! Fish, babes, or whatever. It all can be yours! Go ahead! Act like you're having fun.
There are several opportunities throughout Ōkami to do fishing. This is required a few times to advance the main plot or optional sidequests, but fishing can also be done as simple recreation and to earn yen by selling the fish to merchants. Amaterasu cannot eat the fish to replenish her Astral Pouch, nor feed it to animals in place of a Template:Dl.
Where to fish
Amaterasu needs to find a human fisherman to "assist" in catching the fish. If no such partner is available, she cannot go fishing.
Agata Forest
After reviving the Guardian Sapling here, speak to Kokari to start fishing. There are two different plot-required fish to catch at two different points in the story: the Giant Salmon, for the key to open Tsuta Ruins; after clearing that dungeon, and the Whopper, for the Crescent technique. Returning to Agata Forest after catching these two fish allows the player to have normal fishing sessions with Kokari and catch as many fish as they desire, though Giant Salmon and Whopper cannot be caught again. After the moon festival in Kamiki Village, Kokari leaves this area and Amaterasu cannot fish again until Sei'an City. All fish available here can also be caught in Sei'an City, so if the player misses their chance here they will still be able to finish the Fish Tome.
Sei'an City (Aristocratic Quarter)
Amaterasu has to fish here to advance the story. After completing the Digging minigame in the Commoner's Quarter, bring the Template:Dl fishing rod to Benkei on the giant drawbridge to catch the "Living Sword". Benkei later finds a new fishing spot near the city's Mermaid spring and remains there for the rest of the game. The fish caught here include all of Agata's fish save the two plot fish, as well as a new set exclusive to Sei'an.
North Ryoshima Coast
A local fisherman here (simply named "Fisherman") is located on a long fishing pier on the southwestern island. (If the Water Dragon is still around, Amaterasu may wish to evade it by riding Orca there instead of using Water Lily.) If she brings him the Template:Dl, he can catch the Giant Marlin to take to Chef Umi's restaurant on the shore, where she can then learn the Whirlwind Template:Scbt. From then on, Amaterasu can return to the fisherman's pier to fish for an unlimited time. The Coast has a new set of sea fish, and none of the freshwater fish caught in Agata or Sei'an can be found here.
Kamui
Kokari travels here after leaving Agata Forest. After reviving the Guardian Sapling, Amaterasu can find him near the Dojo, where he remains for the rest of the game. There is no plot fishing event here, only freeform fishing, though oddly the Marlin can be re-caught here an unlimited number of times. The fish caught here include most of those that can be caught at North Ryoshima Coast, and Kamui's own unique set.
How to fish
At first, the fisherman just stands there while shadows move in the water. The shadows all have generic fish shapes without indicating any specific "fish" type (such as a nautilus or starfish), but the shadow size does roughly indicate the general caliber of fish. Waiting around will result in the fish fading out and being replace by new fish, which may be of larger or smaller size than the initial set. While waiting, the player is still in control of the camera, and swinging it up to draw a sun or moon is possible and does not end the current fishing session: it simply makes the fisherman react in shock and then "cast" again with their lineless rod.
One a preferred fish is sighted, use the Celestial Brush to draw a path (it need not be straight) from the pole toward the mouth of the desired shadow until black Holy smoke appears, indicating that the fish is close enough to hook.
Once the target fish is hooked, all of the other shadows disappear and two different meters appear on the screen: a stress meter centered at the top of the screen, and a stamina meter in the lower right. Reel in the fish by pulling the controls in the opposite direction of its movement. If the pull is effective, the fish will throw off "sweat" drops around its shadow. If it is not "sweating," the fish will be able to swim away from the fisherman. Tapping the stick is more effective than just pulling it all the way over.
The stress meter shows the current strength of the line pull: blue at the ineffective weakest level, green for a strong healthy pull, and red for maximum overstrain. The health meter indicates the overall condition of the fisherman for this fishing session and starts out green at full strength, but when the stress meter hits red, the stamina meter starts to decrease down through a yellow warning stage to red near-exhaustion.
Generally, once the fish is hooked and "sweating", it can be brought in with a series of light control taps that keep the stress meter in the green range, rather than requiring continuous control pressure that quickly overstrains the fisherman.
When the fish is close enough to catch, in most versions a button prompt will appear; in the Wii version, swing the remote upwards. If this is done successfully, the fish will be jerked out of the water, but still needs to be stunned with Power Slash to pull it ashore. Some larger fish will survive the first slash and plunge back into the water, requiring two or even three individual reel-ins and slashes to catch (regardless of any upgrades to the Power Slash technique).
After catching each fish, Amaterasu has the option to end the fishing session or keep going. She can also end the fishing session at any time by pressing the menu button.
The four "plot" fishing minigames (the mandatory three to catch the Giant Salmon, Whopper and the Cutlass Fish and the optional one to catch the Marlin) have two rounds of small fish, and then the plot fish will appear on its own, after which the session automatically ends. In normal fishing sessions things work differently: the session does not end until the player exists the session, the fisherman runs out of stamina, or the player spends too long trying to reel in a single fish. In the latter two cases the fish currently on the line is lost, but there are no other penalties.
As a normal fishing session proceeds, larger and more valuable fish will appear, with the largest only appearing after quite a few catches. The smallest class of fish will eventually stop appearing entirely in a prolonged session, meaning it is important to catch them while they are around if aiming for the trophy / achievement for completing the fish guide in the HD versions. Aside from the 99 inventory spaces for each fish, there is no limit to how many fish can be caught in a non-plot session.
As a fish becomes more valuable, there will be alterations to its behaviour when hooked: it will move faster, swim away faster when not "sweating," and change direction more frequently. Large fish also make the fisherman's stress bar narrower (decreasing the size of the green "sweet spot" area) and deplete stamina at a higher rate when in the red. There are a few fish with special behaviours: for example, the Giant Catfish is extremely slow, but also slow to pull in, and adds an inertia effect to the stress meter so that if the meter is in the red it will stay there much longer than usual.
Where to sell fish
Almost any merchant (except for the Demon Fang traders) will buy Amaterasu's fish from her, but some types of fish sell for more at Taka Pass. Even more types of fish can be sold at this special higher price to the Tool Dealer in the Commoner's District of Sei'an City. Also note that, with three exceptions, fish caught in Kamui are sold at the same price everywhere. See the chart below for more information.
Fish
Amaterasu's fish list can be viewed from the scroll section of the main fan menu, although she cannot check it or other menu/inventory information during the middle of a fishing session. The list starts out blank, but gradually fills in with each new fish type that is caught and the number of them in Amaterasu's current inventory. Once caught, each fish type remains on the list even if she sells off all of those fish and no longer have any of that type. The fish list carries over into a New Game+.
In addition to the three-tiered size approximations in the chart below, the game also has a four-tiered size system according to the music played when the fish is pulled in. According to the music clip labels in the "Gifts from Issun" jukebox unlocked after the first playthrough, the sizes are (in order from smallest to largest) "Nice!", "Great!", "Fantastic!" and "Awesome!".
The game is fairly generous in what it considers "day" and "night:" night fish can also be caught in the early part of the morning, and day fish early at night.
