Where to Find Highland Sturgeon in Palia

How to Catch Highland Sturgeon in Palia

Upon reaching the fishing location of Bahari Bay, you need to start catching fish in the deep area of the lake with no bait.

NOTE: No Bait is mandatory for catching the Highland Sturgeon. Make sure to equip no bait on the fishing rod before casting the line into the water.

Cast the line as far as you can with your fishing rod and wait for the bobber to shake three times. As the bobber starts to move after the third shake, reel in the fish by holding the Left-Click Button and moving the mouse to keep the fish inside the brackets to catch the fish.

NOTE: If you spot Amber on the fishing spot, use the arrows to break the Amber. Catching Highland Sturgeon from the Amber spot will give you some Amber Echo as additional loot.

However, if you do not have the Echo Tracker, you will not get Amber Echo from catching Highland Sturgeon or any other fish. Echo Tracker is a special relic that Eshelon gives during the “A Stitch in Time” quest.
