Nivalis Nights Fish Database

How fishing works in Nivalis Nights and the evidence required for future fish location, bait and catch pages.

Quick answer: Fishing is a simulated system rather than a random roll: fish exist physically in the water, move in shoals and can follow other fish or the player’s bait.

What the developer confirmed

ION LANDS says more than 1,000 fish can be simulated at once. The fish visible before a catch is the same entity the player catches. Fish also emit a warm glow, with the lighting rendered at reduced resolution to control GPU cost.

Future fish guides

Individual pages will document verified species, water location, time or weather conditions, bait behavior, uses and value. No fish names or rarity claims will be published from screenshots alone unless identification is reliable.
