Learn how to complete The Fish, Cat and Angler quest in My Time at Portia. Master fishing and catch Delish Fish.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Meet Gramps, the Angler Life Master, at the Guild Building southeast of the Guild Office.
  2. 2
    Speak with Gramps to start the 'The Fish, Cat and Angler' quest.
  3. 3
    Gramps will direct you to his apprentice, Sardino, who is located at the pier.
  4. 4
    Meet Sardino at the marker and he will ask you to catch 3 Sardines, initiating the fishing tutorial.
  5. 5
    To fish, press the interact button near a fish's shadow with your fishing pole.
  6. 6
    When you see the red "!!" above your head, press the interact button again to start the fishing minigame.
  7. 7
    Use the left stick to spin the line and press the attack button for a normal strike or the heavy attack button for a hard strike (the fish's weakpoint).
  8. 8
    Deplete the fish's HP before your Stamina Points (SP) run out. Higher level fish have more HP and are harder to hit the sweet spot.
  9. 9
    Be aware that the fish's HP slowly regenerates if you are not hitting it. If you don't deal enough damage, the line will break, and you must start again.
  10. 10
    Dealing large damage on the final hit to deplete the fish's HP results in an Excellent gathering, yielding more items.
  11. 11
    After catching the 3 Sardines, speak with Sardino again.
  12. 12
    Sardino will instruct you to sell the fish at the restaurant in the Capital City. Head to the marker and speak with the chef.
  13. 13
    A cutscene (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically) will play where a girl named Herin asks for Delish Fish, which you do not have.
  14. 14
    Sardino suggests talking to a cat who might know where to find Delish Fish.
  15. 15
    Go to the floor above the restaurant via the stairs, turn left, and follow the path to find Whiskers, the cat.
  16. 16
    Whiskers will tell you that the best place to find a Delish Fish is on the pier below the Capital City. Head to the marker.
  17. 17
    At the marker, a special shadow will appear. Cast your line and complete the fishing minigame to catch a Delish Fish.
  18. 18
    Return to Herin, who is upstairs near the staircase, and give her the Delish Fish.
  19. 19
    Finally, return to Gramps at the Guild to obtain the Fledgling rank.
Tips
  • Fishing is a great Life to synergize with the Cook Life, as fish can be used for food and crafting.
  • Raising your fishing skill grants abilities to find sweet spots and increase your lucky hit rate (similar to a critical hit in battle).
  • Achieving an Excellent gathering requires depleting the fish's HP with large damage on the last hit.
  • Two achievements are unlocked during this quest: 'Material Collector' for gathering your first material and 'Excellent Technique' for executing your first Excellent gathering.
