How To Find The Fishing Rod in Valheim?
Now, you must make sure to find a fishing rod. This part is not easy as it is sold by a dwarf who’s named Haldor. His location is quite different, and finding him is not an easy task at all. Apart from that, did you know you could hop between servers while maintaining your skills?
Simply exit your main world, enter a new one, name it trader. For the seed, simply add 42069lolxd.
Moving on, the crow will drop you at a location, and this is where you need to find the suitable direction. You need to keep going towards the south for a few minutes. There you find a massive mountain; however, avoid the mountain and keep moving forward. Once you find the shoreline move a little more towards the south, which will get you towards a corner where you can go across towards the black forest.
Now be consistent on the path until you find a small bag on your map. This is where the Haldor is. He has a lot of stuff that he wants to sell, such as the yule hat, a Dverger circlet which is known as a source of light, so the player doesn’t need to carry heavyweight equipment with them.
Moreover, he also has Megingjord that helps in enhancing the inventory with the addition of fishing equipment. Once you find Haldor, your task will become a lot easier!

Now, to start fishing, you need to go to the river or the ocean. Here, you’re supposed to look for the area that has the most fish. Trust me, spotting them is not going to be a hard task at ALL! Moving on, once you’re done finding the place in order to cast your press, all you need to do is press and then hold the left mouse button.
This will end up charging up your cast! It sounds like child’s play! However, you must keep in mind the longer you hold the button, the longer your cast is going to be. Keep in mind that you need to press the right button first in order to get the fishing rod out of inventory.
Once you’ve cast out your lines, you need to carefully observe the area that is surrounding the bobber. If you see any bubbles here, this means that the fish is actually interested in your line. Now, once you observe the bobber dipping beneath the water, all you need to do is press and hold the right button mouse in order to hook the fish and also start reeling.
If you’re successful, you will see a message in the game stating ‘hooked.’ If not, it’s time to give it another shot!
Moving on, once you’ve reeled in the fish, you will be able to pick it up. Do not wait for a while when doing this, as the fish may end up escaping. Remember, the entire thing needs to be done as quickly as possible!
