Best Fish in FlyKnight

Summary

• Different fish in FlyKnight provide unique buffs such as stronger kicks, poison resistance, and health regeneration.
• Fish locations vary across the game, with specific ponds offering access to different types of fish.
• Managing an inventory of fish is crucial for survival in the game.

Wabbaboy’s FlyKnight instantly became a new indie darling after it dropped back in January. Many gamers fell in love with its combination of Kingsfield gameplay and classic Runescape visuals and are now already eagerly awaiting a sequel.

Players, alone or with up to three friends, assume the role of a squire belonging to the order of Flyknights, a band of warriors set on vanquishing the witch, Lunamoth. Between the dungeon crawling action, players can kick back and fish at a number of ponds and rivers scattered across the game, and the food-shaped fish they catch come with a few useful benefits once they’ve been eaten.

11

Espasota

Fish Sword

• Gives the player the Espasota thrusting weapon.
• Found in the Ruined City River – past the gate.

After opening the river gates in the Ruined City, players will notice a solitary swordfish swimming about at the end of the river. Upon catching it, they will receive the Espasota – a literal swordfish.

The Espasota is not ranked higher because, by this point in the game, players may have already collected an arsenal of weapons that are better, or maybe they have come across weapons that they are simply more comfortable using.

The Espasota will occasionally get stuck on passing boats while it is being reeled in. Players should aim to catch it when there’s a gap in traffic.

10

Llimamoll

Stronger Kicks

• Grants the player stronger kicks.
• Lasts for 240 seconds.
• It can be found at the Tower of Anticipation pond.

The Llimamoll becomes accessible to players once they reach the Tower of Anticipation. The small lemon-shaped fish comes with a kick, providing players with stronger kicks that push enemies further back.

The enhanced attacks have their uses: pushing enemies off of tight walkways or keeping them at arms length when you want to focus on range. However, receiving access to them at the end of the game’s penultimate levels reduces a player’s incentive to use them, as there are simply better fish to keep in one’s pockets.

The duration of a fish buff is extended depending on the size of the fish caught.

9

Repoyes

Stronger Stance

• Prevents pushes and knock backs.
• Lasts for 120 seconds.
• It can be found in the Deeper Ruins pond and the Tower of Anticipation Pond.

Repoyes, found early on in the Deeper Ruins pond and later in the Tower of Anticipation pond, makes players sturdier by granting them resistance to push and knock back attacks.

It can be a useful buff for light armored builds where there is a higher risk of the player being stunned and knocked off their feet. This also means that players with sturdier armor can afford to fill their inventory slots with different fish.

The Deeper Ruins pond has a reoccurring glitch where fish seem to sink to the bottom=, making them difficult to catch. Resting and coming back resets their position.

8

Raimollo

Poison Resistance

• Heals and provides resistance to poison.
• Lasts for 140 seconds.
• It can be found in the Peaceful Lake and the Deeper Ruins pond.

Raimollos retain their usefulness throughout the entirety of FlyKnight. Initially found in the game’s first fishing area, the Peaceful Lake, Raimollos provides players with poison resistance and heals any build up of it.

With poison shooting plants showing up at various locations across the game, it’s a good idea to have a couple of these grape-shaped fish handy at most times.

The Peaceful Lake becomes inaccessible once players enter the first level. Players will be able to find Raimollos again once they reach the Deeper Ruins.

7

Musanana

Health Regeneration

• Regenerates health over time.
• Lasts for 250 seconds.
• It can be found in the Peaceful Lake, Swamp Ruins pond and the Tower of Anticipation pond.

Musananas are the first of two healing fish that players will come across in FlyKnight, being initially found in the Peaceful lake and then later in the Swamp Ruins and the Tower of Anticipatio pond.

Lasting for just over four minutes, this fish will steadily regenerate players’ health over time. This becomes especially useful when popped before boss fights, as smaller hits players don’t want to waste other healing items on will slowly mend themselves.

6

Clementaire

Instant Health

• Instantly regenerates 20 points of health.
• It can be found in the Tower of Anticipation pond.

Clementaires are the second healing fish players will find after reaching the Tower of Anticipation. Upon eating them, they will grant players a base 20 points of health. While that doesn’t come close to the health gained from a flask, they’re still handy for healing smaller hits.

Players struggling to keep themselves alive can stockpile a collection of these fish to essentially provide themselves with another charge for their flask. The only downside of the Clementaires is that gamers will have to open the inventory in order to use them.

5

Condigubba

Mana Regeneration

• Regenerates mana over time.
• Lasts for 200 seconds.
• It can be found in the Tower of Anticipation pond.

Condigubbas are essential for player builds that are focused on magic. Found in the Tower of Anticipation pond, these fish will slowly regenerate a player’s mana. Not counting items like rings, Condigubbas provide one of the only two ways to do this.

Unlike other soulslikes, FlyKnight does not include a dedicated flask that players can use to restore their magic. This makes it necessary for those wanting to use spells to spend time collecting a stockpile of Condigubba.

4

Llunagina

Instant Mana

• Instantly regenerates 30 points of mana.
• It can be found in the Tower of Anticipation pond and the Ruined City River – before the gate.

With there being no flask to restore mana in FlyKnight, Llunaginas are – barring rings – the second of the only two ways to regenerate mana without resting.

They instantly provide players with 30 points of mana, letting them get a few more hits in with their spells while in a fight, effectively making Llunaginas FlyKnight‘s fishy equivalent of a flask of Cerulean Tears from Elden Ring. The only downside to using them is that the player must use them from their inventory.

3

Melonuna

Stamina Regeneration

• It grants extra stamina regeneration.
• Lasts for 60 seconds.
• It can be found in the Peaceful Lake, the Swamp Ruins pond and the Tower of Anticipation pond.

Fights in FlyKnight are dependent on a player’s stamina. A player who extends themselves with too many hits will find it depleted, making them slow and leaving at risk of being stunned. On top of this, blocking, parrying, and using magic also consumes stamina.

Melonunas make stamina management much easier by providing players with a boost to its regeneration. First encountered in the Peaceful Lake, players should keep this fish in their inventory throughout their playthrough.

2

Pinyenna

Physical Resistance

• Reduces physical damage by about 30%.
• Lasts for 150 seconds.
• It can be found in the Swamp Ruins pond and the Tower of Anticipation pond.

Pinyennas should become an integral part of every player’s stockpile once they reach the Swamp Ruins pond. Pinyennas provide players with about a 30% physical damage reduction.

Though this doesn’t sound like an awful lot, players will notice the blocked damage soon begin add up in fights. Pinyennas won’t affect magical attacks, like those of the ladybug enemies, but they will boost survivability against practically every other enemy in the game.

1

Pastenallus

Attack Speed

• Increases attack speed.
• Lasts for 50 seconds.
• It can be found in the Swamp Ruins pond, the Tower of Anticipation pond and the Ruined City pond.

A core aspect of FlyKnight‘s combat is its dismemberment mechanic. During fights, players should focus their damage on particular areas of an enemy’s body. If players lop off an arm holding a sword, that enemy, of course, will no longer be able to attack with said sword.

The Pastenallus, the only fish found in the Ruined City pond, helps players do this by increasing their attack speed. The faster players can hit an enemy, the faster they can cut off a limb, massively increasing their advantage in any given fight.
