Requirements

To start your fishing journey for "The Catch," you need to meet two key requirements:

1. Unlock the fishing system in Genshin Impact. This requires having the Serenitea Pot, then visiting Katheryne in Mondstadt to accept and complete the "Exploding Population" quest. This will introduce you to the basic fishing mechanics and give you your first fishing rod.

2. Access to Inazuma is essential since "The Catch" and its refinement materials are found there. You need to reach Adventure Rank 30 and complete the Archon Quest prologue "Autumn Winds, Scarlet Leaves." After this, begin Chapter Two, Act One of the Archon Quest to officially unlock Inazuma and gain access to its fishing spots.

Once you've met these requirements, you can begin collecting "The Catch" and its refinement materials from fishing spots throughout Inazuma.

How to Get The Catch

Acquiring "The Catch" is actually quite simple. You need to fish for specific species and exchange them at the Inazuma Fishing Association. Here's what you need to collect:

• 20x Golden Koi

• 20x Rusty Koi

Once you've gathered these fish, visit the Fishing Association in Inazuma and speak with Kujirai Momiji to exchange them for "The Catch."

How to R5 The Catch

To refine "The Catch" up to level 5, the process is easier than most people think. Instead of identical weapons, you need to get 4x Ako's Sake Vessel, which can be obtained from the Inazuma Fishing Association in exchange for fish. Here's what you need for each refinement:

• 3x Raimei Angelfish

• 10x Pufferfish

• 10x Bitter Pufferfish

So in total, you'd need 12 Raimei Angelfish, 40 Pufferfish, and 40 Bitter Pufferfish to get it up to level 5. With each refinement, "The Catch" becomes significantly more powerful, making the fishing effort worthwhile.

Weapon Stats

"The Catch" is really powerful, especially when it’s leveled up. Its base stat is Energy Recharge, which makes it perfect for burst-focused characters.

This combination of Energy Recharge and increased base damage makes "The Catch" comparable to some 5-star weapons for characters who rely heavily on their Elemental Bursts.

Final Words

Obtaining "The Catch" in Genshin Impact requires some patience and dedication to fishing, but the reward is well worth the effort. This free 4-star polearm offers exceptional utility for burst-focused characters, rivaling even some 5-star weapons when fully refined. By following the steps outlined in this guide, you'll be able to collect all necessary fish from Inazuma's waters and maximize this weapon's potential.

Remember that fish respawn every three days, so plan your fishing trips accordingly to efficiently gather everything you need. "The Catch" proves that some of Genshin Impact's best weapons don't require spending a single primogem.
