Why is Fishing Not Included in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2?

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 features a vast open-world filled with lots to do. As one would naturally wonder, players are curious about what physical activities one can do in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. More importantly, can you go fishing in the game? Let’s dive deeper into this!

Can you fish in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2?

Much to everyone’s disappointment, no, you cannot fish in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. 

This canon has been mentioned in one of the dialogues in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. If you go to a fishing spot next to a lake or river, Henry begins talking to himself. He goes on to say how he never had the time to learn fishing when he was younger. 

Although the studio didn’t explicitly mention why they excluded fishing in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, there are a few plausible reasons as to why this happened. 

Perhaps the developers felt fishing was not as important to the storyline as other elements in the game. It is not like they completely left us with no choice.

Players can hunt for game in the lush forests of Bohemia. Nevertheless, it is a missed opportunity.

Fishing Spots in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

While the forest serves as a hunting ground, the same cannot be said for the water bodies in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Although fishing would have been a good way to kill time, we don’t always get what we want.

There are special locations called fishing spots in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. However, you can’t purchase fishing rods, bait, or other items needed for fishing. You can find a drying rack, nets and fish traps though.

Since you can’t fish yourself, you can obtain fish from local fishermen and merchants. They can be found in Trosky and Kuttenberg, especially Vidlak Pond Settlement and Nebakov Fortress.

Trade your Groschen for fish. Here are some items you can buy:

  • Crayfish
  • Dried Perch
  • Dried Trout
  • Drinking Water
  • Herring
  • Perch
  • Smoked Perch
  • Smoked Trout
  • Trout

Consuming fish will give you an extra health boost. It is helpful to have some handy when you are travelling for longer distances.

At least there is some way you can obtain fish. A win is a win, right?
