Side quests are generally relaxing activities with short but interesting tasks to complete. Stellar Blade has followed this tradition well and designed almost all the side activities in a creative way that will attract the attention of players, for sure. These activities don’t take much time but provide players with valuable rewards in most cases. A similar thing will happen when Eve tries to find Fantastic Bait in the game.

This activity is part of a side mission named Where Is the Fantastic Bait in Stellar Blade and can be unlocked as players progress through the main story missions in the game. This side quest is different in many aspects, as it requires players to do a lot of different activities to get the Fantastic Bait at the end of the mission.

How to Unlock Where Is the Fantastic Bait Mission in Stellar Blade

Where Is the Fantastic Bait is a side mission related to the fishing mini-game in Stellar Blade, and players will find it on the bulletin board after they have completed previous fishing mini-games in Xion. So, what players need to do after appearing at Xion is to finish all the fishing missions you see with Clyde at the Oasis until you reach the side mission named A Gift for a Fishing Maniac.

Once you accept the side quest and follow the marker, you will eventually be taken to a cave inside the Wasteland Solar Tower. From there, the next destination players will visit is a lake located on the north side of the tower. Dive into the depths of the lake, and you will locate a chest. The chest requires a code to be opened. So put 0508 to open the chest, and inside you will get the Best Fishing Data upgrade.

After acquiring the upgrade, players will unlock the Where Is the Fantastic Bait side mission from the bulletin board with the following mission objectives to complete:

  • Catch 20 different types of fish.
  • Visit Clyde and ask him about the Fantastic Bait.
  • Visit Roxanne and purchase information about Fantastic Bait.

None of these activities are challenging, but with a little help, players will complete them smoothly without getting stuck.

Now, about this activity, one confusion should be there about where to get different baits. Well, bait can be rewarded for completing different side activities, but if you don’t have enough time to gather them this way, visit Clyde at the Fishing Hut in The Oasis and purchase bait from him. This is the easiest process, a little expensive, but saves a lot of time. 

After the fishing activity is done, focus on the interactions with the NPCs, and these interactions will provide you with the information that Roxanne has an item named Information: Fantastic Bait that she has in her shop for only 300 gold. Purchase this item for further progression to find the Fantastic Bait.
