Genshin Impact: Golden Koi fishing locations, preferred bait, and uses
Golden Koi is one of the several types of fish in Genshin Impact. True to their name, these fish look as if they were clad in golden armor and were even called descendants of dragons for a time.
However, while the Golden Koi look every bit as majestic as dragons, they do not have the might that their supposed descendants possess. These fish are weak. As a result, they are often victims of food snatching. At present, they are called “False Dragons” instead.
This article will discuss all the fishing locations of the Golden Koi, as well as how you can catch them and their uses.
Where to find Golden Koi
These fish can be found in several fishing spots in Mondtsadt, Liyue, and Inazuma. Take note that in most of these fishing spots, you will also find another variant of the Koi called Rusty Koi, which you should NOT confuse with Golden Koi.

How to catch Golden Koi
To catch this type of fish, you must have already unlocked the Genshin Impact Fishing System. If you already have, note that you can only catch Golden Koi using the Fake Fly Bait, which can be crafted via alchemy.
Below are some tips for fishing:
- The Golden Koi will spawn at any in-game time. However, if you can’t find any in the specified locations, try catching the currently available fish and/or adjust the time to a couple of hours.
- When in Inazuma, it is recommended to bring the 4-star Pyro character Thoma with you, as he gives a 20% chance of a double catch in the region.
- After clearing a certain fishing location, note that the fish will only respawn in three whole days (real-time, NOT in-game).
What are the uses of Golden Koi
These fish can be used to purchase the 4-star polearm The Catch from Kujirai Momiji in Inazuma.
In some cases, you might find one that can be used as a pet in your Serenitea Pot.
In terms of cooking, you can convert the Golden Koi into Fish (cooking ingredient) via cooking/processing.
