From: FAUK@aol.com Date: Wed, 28 Oct 1998 18:15:07 EST ______________________________________________________ Breath Of Fire 3:Fishing Guide >>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<< By:FAUK@aol.com ______________________________________________________ One of the best treats in BOF3 was the fishing sub game.It was almost a game in its own.Well I know there are millions of lost gamers who haven't caught all the fish.In this FAQ I will tell where to get the fish and which bait to use.For more FAQs and PICs visit my website at. www.angelfire.com/ny/RPGarena LET'S START FISHING When you first start the game you may not want to fish.But many good things come from fishin. You can get plenty of healing fish and trade with Manillo for cool weapons.So the first thing you'll want to is learn all the rules.Then learn all the tecs.When you've done that get ready to fish.But you won't have good bate but don't worry their not picky. HUNTING NEW FISH You'll need to do this plenty of times when looking for a fish.The best tip is to look at a fishes shadow.Its easy to pick an octopus out.Some fish have really light shadows so its hard to see them.The lighter fish tend to be harder to pull.Trying different types of bait will help alot. THE ROD'S These items are most important when it comes to fishin.I mean there's no point hunting a fish with out a good rod or it will snap.The Rods are has follows. RODS LOCATION DESCRIPTION wooden rod shop in Mcneil Beginner rod/breaks easily/low range bamboo rod momo's tower long range/breaks easily deluxe rod northern checkpoint strong rod/wide range angling rod faerie village best range/high pull rate/hardtohold spanner steel grave strongest rod/can pull any fish masters rod reward for"the fish"rank the best rod THE BAIT The bait is what decides if they bite or they don't.Fish only like certain baits.So its best to collect has much bait as possible.The list follows: BAIT LOCATION DESCRIPTION worm shop level 1 bait old popper shop level 1 toad shop level 1 sinker shop L1 sinks when moved spirit shop level 2 popper shop level 2 baby frog shop level 2 float shop level 2 caro shop level 3 top shop level 3 hanger shop level 3 frog shop level 3 heavy caro manillo top level dog walker manillo top level fat frog manillo top level deep diver manillo top level coin all over manillo's fav ding frog reward for"the fish"rank the best bait THE FISH These are the fish.I put one location where you can find them.There more than one place to find most fish.But its just easier to put one place.
