Palia: Fishing Guide - Catching the Rainbow-finned Tuna
The Rainbow-finned Tuna is one of the most prized catches in Palia, offering a massive Gold reward for players skilled enough to reel it in. However, it has strict spawn requirements and a difficult behavior pattern.
If you are looking to make significant gold or complete your fish collection bundles, here is everything you need to know to catch the Rainbow-finned Tuna.
Catch Requirements
You cannot catch this fish anywhere, anytime. You must meet these specific conditions:
- Location: Bahari Bay Coast. Stick to the ocean water along the eastern shoreline.
- Time: Morning and Day only. It is catchable between 6:00 AM and 6:00 PM in-game time. It disappears at night.
- Bait Required: Glow Worm. You cannot catch this with standard worms or no bait.
reeling Strategy
The Rainbow-finned Tuna is an Epic rarity fish, meaning the fishing mini-game is significantly harder than usual.
- The Hook: When you hook it, the reticle will be small and move fast.
- Behavior: This fish zig-zags aggressively. Unlike lazy fish that drift, the Tuna will instantly dart from one side of the bar to the other.
- Counter-Play: Do not hold the reel button down constantly. Tap it to maintain position, and let go immediately when it jumps, or your line health will deplete in seconds.
Why Farm This?
Aside from the bundle requirement, the Rainbow-finned Tuna sells for a high price at Zeki’s store or the shipping bin. It is considered one of the most efficient Gold Farms for players who have unlocked the Glow Worm farm.
Summary
Head to the Bahari Bay Coast during the Day (6am-6pm). Equip Glow Worms and be ready for an erratic fight. Master the zig-zag movement, and you will have one of Palia’s best gold sources in your inventory.
