The Raimei Angelfish is a special fish introduced in the Genshin Impact 2.1 update. This update added a new fishing feature, providing players with an exciting new challenge. Among the various fish, the Raimei Angelfish stands out as one of the more difficult catches. To reel it in, you must venture to its specific location and use a particular type of bait.
You’ll find the Raimei Angelfish in the Inazuma region of Genshin Impact. However, you’ll need to gather the right bait recipe from Mondstadt. As long as you can use the fast travel Waypoints, the trip shouldn’t take too long. After you catch the Raimei Angelfish, you can even have it as a pet in your Serenitea Pot.
How to Catch the Raimei Angelfish
Craft a Special Lure
First, you’ll need to obtain False Worm Bait, a special lure to catch Raimei Angelfish. This bait is suitable for catching various fish, including the Shirakodai and Angelfish types. To create this bait, you must purchase the recipe from the Mondstadt Fishing Association, located just outside the city walls.
Talk to the vendor named Nantuck, who will give you the lure recipe in exchange for three Medaka fish. Once you have the recipe, you can craft the bait using the following ingredients:
- 1x Slime Condensate
- 1x Berry
It’s wise to craft several batches of False Worm Bait at any Crafting Bench in town. One recipe yields ten pieces of bait, which is likely enough for a fishing outing. However, making three to four batches can significantly increase your chances of catching a Raimei Angelfish at the right spots.
Where to Find the Raimei Angelfish
Search Specific Locations to Cast Your Line
The fishing spot for the Raimei Angelfish is located to the east of Tatarsuna on Kannazuka, one of the islands in the Inazuma region. Specifically, you will find it near an electrified shipwreck guarded by Cryo Slimes and an Electro Abyss Mage. You’ll need to deal with or avoid these enemies before you can focus on catching the fish.
Keep in mind that the Raimei Angelfish only spawns between 6:00 PM and 6:00 AM in-game time. If you try to fish outside of these hours, the fish won’t be present, and you’ll have to wait for the right time to catch it.
Once you see the fish, approach it and press the button prompt to begin fishing. Make sure you have the False Worm Bait selected before casting your line near the Raimei Angelfish. Fishing in Genshin Impact is relatively straightforward, but catching a Raimei Angelfish can be quite a challenge.
Monitor the tension bar carefully, and don’t panic if mistakes happen. Depending on your fishing rod’s strength, catching a Raimei Angelfish could be either easy or quite a struggle. If you’re fortunate, you might even snag a rare Ornamental variant, adding a unique pet to your Serenitea Pot.
Why You Should Catch a Raimei Angelfish
Exchange for Rare Items and Unlock Achievements
By catching the Raimei Angelfish, you acquire a valuable three-star fish and unlock the achievement “Yon Mirror’d Moon, Broken.” Like other fish, you can choose to cook it for health restoratives or keep it as a pet. Additionally, some NPCs within Genshin Impact will offer rare items in exchange for a fish as special as the Raimei Angelfish.

How Genshin Impact Could Improve Fishing
Genshin Impact recently added fishing to the game. Even though it’s only been available for a short while, fishing is already growing a bit stale.
When interacting with vendors at the Fishing Association, you can exchange Raimei Angelfish along with other aquatic creatures for exciting items:
Item | Cost | Description |
|---|---|---|
Ako’s Sake Vessel |
| A valuable weapon refinement material with four-star rarity, used to enhance your arsenal. |
The Catch |
| This item, sold by Kujirai Momiji at the Fishing Association, is a four-star polearm weapon usable by certain characters. |
To catch the Koi and Pufferfish required for these items in addition to your Raimei Angelfish, you’ll also need different types of bait. Like all fish in Genshin Impact, each of these aquatic creatures has unique spawn times and locations. Fortunately, you can adjust your in-game clock to ensure you are fishing at the right time for the specific fish you need.
Regardless of how you decide to use the Raimei Angelfish, its rarity and versatility make it a worthwhile pursuit for any player looking to farm in the electrically charged waters of Genshin Impact.
