The Elpis Ultimate Angler Championship in Zenless Zone Zero introduced yet another activity for players to participate in: fishing. If fighting Ethereals in the Hollow or grinding for materials in the HIA are getting tiring, then maybe a few moments of relative peace and quiet by the pier can help you unwind.

Events in general are great for anyone looking to save up for any of ZZZ's agents, and the Elpis Ultimate Angler Championship is no different. There are several pages' worth of rewards to be reaped here, and you don't need to spend much effort to clear them all either.

To catch fish, you need to go to the pier in Port Elpis. The fishing spot is right in front of the warning sign with the tentacle on it — interact with the sign to start the fishing minigame. In order to catch fish, you'll need to do the following:

  1. Wait for the ring to touch the rim of the button on the lower-right side of the screen.
  2. Pay attention to the buttons that appear on your screen. You will either have to hold the button or repeatedly tap it.
  3. Repeat Step 2 until the fish's stamina is depleted.

Belle and Wise have found themselves in yet another financial crisis, and under Qingyi's recommendation, the siblings set off to participate in the Elpis Ultimatte Angler competition. In this event, all you need to do is compete with other contestants and catch fish to win a variety of prizes, including Denny and a ton of Polychromes in ZZZ.

There is an underlying story behind this event involving PubSec and an art thief, so expect some exposition and some combat missions in a Hollow as well.

Every fish you catch will get logged in the Fish Encyclopedia, increasing the total number of Stars you have. Once you reach specific Star thresholds, you'll be able to claim bonus Angler Points for leveling up your Fishing Certificate.

Some fish are locked behind the Elpis Ultimate Angler event's story, which means you won't be able to catch them until you get to the bottom of the art theft case with Qingyi and Zhu Yuan.
