Uncover the thrilling fishing mini-game in Star Ocean The Second Story R Dive into the challenge as you learn the ropes and reel in the ultimate catch
Star Ocean The Second Story R, a JRPG remake, offers players the chance to recruit friends, battle monsters, explore the world, engage in crafting and cooking, and even go fishing. With an abundance of activities to undertake in this vast world, players may feel overwhelmed trying to grasp everything at once. Consequently, when they stumble upon a fantastic fishing spot, they may lack the knowledge and understanding of how to effectively catch fish and reap the various benefits that fishing can offer.
To truly make the most of the fishing pole in Star Ocean The Second Story R, players must fully immerse themselves in the art of fishing. This comprehensive guide aims to assist players in achieving just that.
How to Unlock Fishing in Star Ocean The Second Story R
Unlocking Fishing in Square Enix's Star Ocean The Second Story R is a straightforward process. Players can easily achieve this by reaching the city of Krosse early in the game. Once there, they should sign up for an audience with the King and have a conversation with him. When venturing into the square, they should engage in a conversation with Celine, who will express her desire to accompany Rena and Claude on their journey. This interaction will grant players the ability to upgrade IC and Specialty Skills. To unlock Fishing, players must have at least one level in both Biology and Item Knowledge. Finally, fishing can be turned on in the IC/Specialty menu.
How to Fish in Star Ocean The Second Story R
With the recent release of the Star Ocean 2 remake, fishing has become a brand new feature for players to enjoy. Upon unlocking this exciting addition, a fishing rod will be automatically granted to the players. While bait is not essential for fishing, it can greatly simplify the process. Now, all that's left is to locate a suitable water body where the protagonist can approach, as these areas are teeming with various fish species.
Search for the underwater shadows of fish. When a fishing rod logo appears above the avatar's head, press the interact button to initiate the fishing mini-game. Rena or Claude will cast the hook into the water, and three dots will appear above their head. Wait until these dots transform into exclamation marks, and then press and hold the interact button to reel in the fish.
The size of the fish's shadow in the water corresponds to the size of the fish.
Upon approaching fishable waters, a menu displaying the various fish species present in the vicinity will be visible on the left side of the screen, along with fishing controls.
In the mainline Star Ocean game, when a rare fish is about to bite, the screen will dim as Rena or Claude tosses their fishing line.
Fishing for Reel in The Second Story R
There is a captivating NPC named Reel in the village of Expel who is truly worth the extra effort to engage with. Reel is a dedicated fisherman and will implore players to aid them in capturing every single fish known to mankind. In return for the fish, Reel offers one-of-a-kind items and rewards that are determined by the cumulative amount of distinct fish species brought to them.
Players should regularly return to Expel after fishing to collect all the rewards. It is recommended to venture eastwards, beyond Marze, towards the water's edge before traveling up to Kurik to set sail from the continent. There may be numerous JRPG battles along the way, but the effort is worthwhile. Star Ocean The Second Story R can be played on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Switch.

As a Gen Z netizen, I am excited about the release of Star Ocean The Second Story R and the inclusion of a new fishing mini-game. I love fishing in video games, and I think it's a great way to relax and de-stress. I'm also interested in the different fish species that can be caught, and I'm looking forward to trying to catch them all.
I think the fishing mini-game is a great addition to Star Ocean The Second Story R. It's a fun and relaxing way to take a break from the main story, and it's also a great way to earn rewards. I'm excited to see how the fishing mini-game evolves in future Star Ocean games.
