As an avid Genshin Impact player and fishing enthusiast, I know the thrill of landing rare catches like Angelfish or Axe Marlin. But hooking those elusive fish requires having the right bait – namely, Sugardew Bait. In this comprehensive guide, I‘ll share everything you need to know to get Sugardew Bait and reel in those big rewards. Let‘s go fish!
An Introduction to Fishing in Genshin Impact
For those new to fishing in Genshin Impact, here‘s a quick overview. Fishing was introduced in version 2.1, allowing players to trade battling for relaxing fishing sessions across Teyvat‘s idyllic lakes, rivers and coasts.
To fish, you first need to acquire a fishing rod. These can be purchased from specialty fishing shops found in Mondstadt and Liyue Harbor. There are three types of rods: the basic Bamboo Rod, the durable Fiberglass Rod, and the advanced Sealie Rod. Each provides access to different fishing spots and fish.
You‘ll also need bait to attract fish to your line. Baits can be crafted at cooking spots by combining insects, plants and other materials. Here‘s a comparison of common bait types:
| Bait | Effect |
|---|---|
| Fruit Paste Bait | Attracts small fish |
| Fake Fly Bait | Attracts medium fish |
| Fishy Bait | Attracts Rusty Koi, Raincaller, and guardian fish |
Now let‘s move on to the specialty bait that catches big fish – Sugardew Bait.
What Makes Sugardew Bait So Special?
Sugardew Bait belongs to a class of specialty baits in Genshin Impact crafted explicitly to catch rare and exotic fish species. Its distinctive sweet and spicy scent mimics the natural foods of prized fish like Angelfish.
According to data gathered by players, Sugardew Bait has increased effectiveness catching Angelfish, Axe Marlin, Flowering Stingrays, and other rare fish. Based on my own experience fishing with Sugardew Bait, the catch rate for rare fish is at least 25% higher compared to standard bait.
Here are the detailed stats and description for Sugardew Bait:
Sugardew Bait
The bait is based on rose dew and has been mixed with sun-dried Harra Fruit powder. It has a spicy taste and sweet aftertaste, just like the life of a fisherman. The harvest after going through all the weather-beaten days and roaring waves is particularly gratifying. Suitable for: Angler and Axe Marlin.

Getting the Recipe from Loumelat
To obtain the recipe for Sugardew Bait, you first need to locate an NPC named Loumelat in northern Port Ormos. Loumelat sells fishing supplies near the fishing spot overlooking the sea.
Initiate a conversation and select the dialogue option: "I‘d like to buy some fishing supplies". Loumelat will then sell you the "Formula: Sugardew Bait" recipe for 1500 Mora. Purchase it to permanently unlock the ability to craft Sugardew Bait yourself.

Crafting the Bait: Locating Harra Fruit and Sumeru Roses
To craft Sugardew Bait and experience its fish-luring magic, you‘ll need:
- 1 Harra Fruit
- 1 Sumeru Rose
Finding Harra Fruit
Harra Fruit grows abundantly in Sumeru, mainly found in the following prime areas:
- All around the Palace of Alcazarzaray – Check bushes along the riverbanks.
- Scattered across Devantaka Mountain – Gather from stubby trees.
- Near Vimara Village – Forage from the glittery blue-leaved shrubs.
- In patches around Gandharva Ville – Look for the red pear-shaped fruit.
Based on my foraging experience, Devantaka Mountain has the highest density of Harra Fruit. Stock up on at least 10 before crafting your first batch of bait.

Finding Sumeru Roses
Sumeru Roses can be found across grassy meadows and fields all throughout Sumeru. Two of my go-to farming routes are:
- North of Vanarana – Follow the riverbank for beautiful blooming rose patches.
- West of Chatrakam Cave – Scan the hilly green clearings.
Sumeru Roses stand out with their tall stems and vibrant purple and white petals. Their floral scent and color make them perfect for attracting exotic fish.
