Cooking is a great way to spend free time on the Gauntlet Runner in Metaphor: ReFantazio as it can lead to some of the best consumables in the game. Some of the better recipes to cook will require rare materials, some of which will also take free time just to get.

Fishing is unlocked on your way to the Virga Islands, and can only be done when traveling by sea in that region of the world. Fishing is one of the methods for getting very useful cooking ingredients, such as the Lord Of The Lake.

How To Get Lord Of The Lake In Metaphor: ReFantazio

Lord Of The Lake is the hardest thing to come by when fishing, though it mostly comes down to what bait you use. Usually, the rewards of fishing are decided by the bait you use, what Heismay asks, and how you respond. To get a Lord Of The Lake, all you need is Tail Bait, as all responses to all questions will at least give you one Lord Of The Lake. While you'll always be guaranteed a Lord Of The Lake when using Tail Bait, there are some answers to each question that will give you two instead of just one.

Heismay Question

Response

Maybe it's all this staring at the water's surface, but... I'm starting to feel a bit queasy.
  • Take a break

Yawn... Ah, I'm more tired than I realized. Hmm... How do I shake this?
  • Pinch your cheeks

Hmm. Nothing biting. Perhaps if the bait were moving...?
  • Give it a wiggle

Where To Get Tail Bait

Tail Bait is usually incredibly difficult to find, with the only easy one to obtain being from the hurt man in the Arenafront Wharf who needs a Medical Herb. Other than that, the only other farming method is by cleaning the Gauntlet Runner's storage area. This only has a chance of giving you Tail Bait, but it's the only way to farm it semi-reliably.
