- Catch Required Fish : You need to catch and trade the following fish to obtain "The Catch":
- 6 Raimei Angelfish
- 20 Golden Koi
- 20 Rusty Koi Raimei Angelfish are the hardest to catch and are found only at a fishing point off Tatarasuna between 18:00 and 6:00 using False Worm bait. Golden Koi and Rusty Koi can be caught in Mondstadt, Liyue, and Inazuma with Fake Fly bait during all hours
