Where to Find and Catch Heather Manta in Palia

Fishing for common and rare fish is a crucial step in leveling up the Fishing Guild to unlock advanced versions of the Fishing Rod as well as new items and crafting recipes at the Fishing Guild Store. One of the new, rare fish that players can catch is the Heather Manta. In this guide, we will tell you where to find and catch the Heather Manta in Palia.

Where to Find Heather Manta in Palia

Players can find Heather Manta in the Royal Highlands bay areas from 6 AM to 6 PM (in-game) time in the Royal Highlands map region. It is a brand-new fish and can only be found on the Royal Highlands map. There are several spots in the Royal Highlands where players can fish in the Royal Highlands bay areas. One of the best fishing spots to find Heather Manta is Enfield Shores. Another great spot for finding Heather Manta is at the shore south of Amber Lake.

How to Catch Heather Manta in Palia

Upon reaching the fishing location, start catching fish in the fishing bubbles while equipping the Glow Worm Bait.

NOTE: Glow Worm Bait is mandatory for catching the Heather Manta. Make sure to equip Glow Worm 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 Heather Manta 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 Heather Manta or any other fish. Echo Tracker is a special relic that Eshelon gives during the “A Stitch in Time” quest.
