How to get koi in genshin?

It’s easily the best free Polearm you can get in all of Genshin Impact.

The Catch is perfect for characters like Raiden Shogun, Zhongli, or Xingliang. If you obtain Raiden Shogun, and can’t afford her fancy-schmancy five-star Engulfing Lightning Polearm, The Catch is a great alternative. It’s free, plus The Catch provides strong bonuses for Energy Recharges, Elemental Burst damage, and your Elemental Burst critical hit rate.

Here’s how you can get The Catch in Genshin Impact.

Obtaining The Catch is simple. You just need to collect the required fish then exchange them for The Catch at the Inazuma Fishing Association. You can find the Fishing Association between Inazuma City and Byakko Plain. If that’s not enough information, use the below map for the exact location. The Inazuma Fishing Association is located at the blue arrow.

To obtain The Catch, the Inazuma Fishing Association representative will ask you for these items:

You can find each fish at specific fishing spots throughout Teyvat. If you need more than just these fish, make sure to check out our fishing spot compendium. You can also read it for the exact location of every fishing spot.

You need to obtain 20 Golden Koi. Luckily, there are five fishing spots to nab a Golden Koi in Genshin Impact:

Golden Koi prefer Fake Fly Bait. Make sure you’ve crafted some before arriving. You can obtain the Blueprint for them by trading the Fishing Association person in Mondstadt three Medeka fish. You can find Medeka in nearly every fishing spot

You now need 20 Rusty Koi fish. Similar to its golden counterpart, there are five fishing to find Rusty Koi in Genshin Impact.

As you may have noticed, there’s a ton of overlap with the Golden Koi, which should speed up the process. Similarly, you’ll need Fake Fly Bait for the Golden Koi as well.

The last fish you need to initially unlock The Catch is a Raimei Angelfish. You can only find this fish at one location:

They will only spawn between the in-game hours of 18:00 and 6:00.

You’ll need six Raimei Angelfish to initially unlock The Catch. You’ll need an additional three Raimei Angelfish per refinement of The Catch. In total, you’ll need 18 Raimei Angelfish.

Remember to bring False Worm Bait with you. You can obtain the Blueprint for them by trading the Fishing Association person in Mondstadt three Medeka fish. You can find Medeka in nearly every fishing spot

Congratulations, you’ve unlocked The Catch. Your Raiden Shogun team will name a bench in your honor for such a great deed.

However, you can get even stronger. You just need to refine The Catch. This will improve its effect from “Increases Elemental Burst damage by 16 percent and Elemental Burst Critical Rate by six percent.” to “Increases Elemental Burst damage by 32 percent and Elemental Burst Critical Rate by 12 percent.”

Luckily, you can obtain the materials to refine The Catch from the Inazuma Fishing Association reparative as well. He’ll ask you for three things per refinement:

Of course, that’s just for one refinement. With four refinements awaiting you, prepare to collect 18 Raimei Angelfish, 40 Pufferfish, and 40 Bitter Pufferfish.

If you need your 40 Pufferfish, there are 40 fishing spots in Genshin Impact to claim your haul.

You’ll need Fake Fly Bait to catch Bitter Pufferfish.

You likely got these while collecting the Pufferfish. They’re often found in the same locations.

There are six locations to collect your 40 Bitter Pufferfish:

Kois are the most abundant fish in Genshin Impact as of now and can be found in most of the fishing spots. There are two variants, Rusty and Golden, and players need 20 of each of them to get The Catch polearm.

All fishing spots in Genshin Impact will have more than one type of breed. Spotting a Rusty Koi is easier due to its long and slender shape. To attract a Rusty Koi, players need to use Fake Fly bait, which can be crafted once the blueprint is obtained from Mondstadt Fishing Association for six Medakas. Here are all the locations where players can easily farm Rusty Koi in Genshin Impact.

There is a fishing spot just beside the Electro Statue of Seven on Seirai Island. This also happens to be the only spot in Inazuma where Rusty Kois is found.

Wangshu Inn serves as home to many, including fish. Two fishing spots can be found in the vicinity of Wanghshu Inn, where Rusty Kois spawn regularly.

Near Luhua Pool, players can simply teleport to the nearby domain and fly up to the surface to start fishing Rusty Koi.

The final location for Rusty Koi is just opposite the Mondstadt Fishing Association, east of Mondstadt City.

Similar to Rusty Kois, Golden Kois also take the same Fake Fly bait and have the same shape, except they are golden in color.

The only fishing spot in Inazuma where Kois are found is in Koseki Village. Along with Rusty Koi, players will also find Golden Koi in that place.

Wangshu Inn is the best location to farm fish in Genshin Impact. Players will find a variety of breeds at the west and southeast fishing spots including Golden Kois.

The Luhua Pool also features Golden Kois alongside the Rusty ones. It is one of the easiest to reach fishing spots in Genshin Impact.

The final location where Golden Kois can be found is near the Stormbearer Mountains. It is located to the east of the teleport waypoint and also nurtures different types of Medakas.

In Genshin Impact, a fishing spot refreshes after every three days in real-time. It will take a few days to get The Catch and refine it to rank 5, so it is better to have enough baits beforehand along with a bit of patience while fishing because the reward is definitely worth the grind.
