Palia: Where to Find & Catch Scarlet Koi

Catching Uncommon and rare fish is the crucial step in leveling up the Fishing Guild in Palia. It unlocks advanced versions of the Fishing Rod, new items, and crafting recipes at the Fishing Guild Store. One of the common fish that players can catch is a Scarlet Koi which Elouisa currently needs. This guide will walk you through where to find and catch Scarlet Koi in Palia.

Where to Find Scarlet Koi in Palia

The Scarlet Koi is found in Ponds at any time. There are several ponds in Kilima Valley and Bahari Bay, and you can go to any pond to try and find Scarlet Koi. However, the Mirror Pond Ruins located northwest of the Kilima Valley is the pond we recommend for catching the Scarlet Koi. 

How to Catch Scarlet Koi in Palia

Upon reaching the Mirror Pond Ruins, look for a fishing bubble in the pond. After that, equip the Fishing Rod tool and cast the line inside the bubble while equipping a Glow Worm as bait.

NOTE: Glow Worm bait is mandatory for catching the Scarlet Koi. Make sure to equip Glow Worm Bait on the fishing rod before casting the line into the pond.

Once done, 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.

Uses of Scarlet Koi in Palia

The Scarlet Koi can be sold for 100 Gold (Base) or 150 Gold (Star Quality) to Zeki or at the Shipping Bin. Moreover, you can also gift it to certain villagers who like it or those who need it. Currently, Elouisa needs the Scarlet Koi until October 6, 2024, so if you caught one, bring it to her.
