Fish

Legendary Fish[]

The most difficult fish to catch are the Legendary Fish. These fish are one-of-a-kind
and have their own special icon in the fishing mini-game. The methods of obtaining these fish are revealed after finding and reading a number of the library's Lost Books.

Higher fishing skill levels may be required to hook the fish, this can be achieved through the use of food buffs that temporarily increase fishing level.
