All fish and how to catch them in Cult of the Lamb

Teach a cult member to fish, they'll serve for a lifetime.

Sometimes you just need to unwind from your day-to-day cult leader activities and spend a day at the beach fishing. In Cult of the Lamb, you play a possessed lamb that serves The One Who Waits by starting and growing a cult of woodland creatures rescued from the clutches of the forces of the Old Faith.

Fishing isn’t just valuable as a relaxing exercise, though. The fish you catch can be used to complete various objectives and missions, feed your cult members, or get sold on the offering market.

The primary way to get fish in the game is to go fishing at Pilgrim’s Passage, where new fish appear daily. This is unlocked after meeting the fisherman during a random dungeon. To fish, go to the spot next to the fisherman near the water in Pilgrim’s Passage. The size of the shadow that the fish gives off indicates what kind of fish it could be:

  • Small shadows: Minnows
  • Medium shadows: Salmon, Blowfish
  • Large shadows: Tuna, Squid, Octopus, Crab, Lobster, Swordfish

Typically, only one or two fish with large shadows appear per day. To catch fish, keep the hook in the green bar to pull it closer to shore. Players who’ve played Stardew Valley will find fishing in this game very familiar.

To improve your fishing exploits, you can select and perform the fishing ritual from the Sustenance category.
