How to find and catch a Radiant Sunfish in Palia

Catching a Radiant Sunfish in Palia is an easy task once you have the steps down. Fear not, Dot Esports has the answers you seek.

As players navigate the various biomes within Palia, they’ll come across new resources, characters, insects, and animals. Specific animals and insects are sometimes required for certain missions or challenges, but most are worth capturing as you explore Bahari Bay.

I’ve spent many hours trekking up and down the hills of Bahari Bay and Kilima Valley and spotted various wildlife floating and swimming throughout. This is the method of exploration I chose, and I recommend it for you to get the full Palia experience.

Where to find Radiant Sunfish in Palia

You’ll have to head to Kilima Valley and locate the main village near its center. Once you’re there, go down to the wharf by the river that runs alongside Kilima Village and Reflection Fields.

From there you’ll get your fishing rod out and get casting. With any luck, you’ll catch one quickly and you’ll move on to the next mission.

Hopefully, by this point, you’ve acquired a fishing rod. A Radiant Sunfish is one of the rarer fish swimming around the rivers and lakes of Palia. 

This means you’ll have to keep fishing if it doesn’t go your way instantly. 

You can use a worm as bait and fish anytime during the day. There is no specific time to fish, you should be able to get one no matter the hour.
