Challenge Bait is one of the recipes that may be acquired in Stardew Valley using the new Mastery system. Up to three fish may be caught at once with this bait, however getting started might be a little difficult.
Attaining Fishing Mastery grants access to the Advanced Iridium Rod, Golden Fishing Chests, and the Challenge Bait recipe.What you'll need to produce 5 Challenge Baits is:
- 1 Bone Fragment
- 1 Moss
Challenge Bait enables you to catch up to three of the same kind of fish, which makes it a great method for catching a lot of fish quickly. For this reason, in order to succeed in the two new fishing-based festivals, Trout Derby and Squidfest, you must need Challenge Bait. The actual difficulty begins after you've caught a fish, but using it is as simple as attaching it to your rod and heading out to fish.
Using Challenge Bait: A Guide
Though theoretically you could use Challenge Bait in a crab pot, you can only use it with the Fiberglass, Iridium, and Advanced Iridium Rods.
while the Fishing minigame starts, three fish will initially be present in a tiny box on the right side of the interface, behind the preview window that is accessible while using a Sonar Bobber.
You will lose one of these fish every time the fish exits the green bar while you are reeling. You lose all of the fish if it disappears from the bar three times. This bait works best on fish who maintain their composure while being pulled in, since it may be particularly difficult to work with fish that move about a lot.
