Genshin Impact: Rusty Koi fishing locations, preferred bait, and uses

Genshin Impact - Rusty Koi Map Location and uses

Rusty Koi is one of the several types of fish in Genshin Impact. Despite their shabby appearance, these fish are often called the “awakened dragon.” It is said that they have shed their golden coat, which can be found in another variant of Koi called Golden Koi, in exchange for rusty bronze armor.

Unlike the Golden Koi, which are considered weak in nature, the Rusty Koi are strong-willed and will fight anyone who tries to steal their food or enters their territory. It will even have a good fight with smaller sea monsters.

This article will discuss all the fishing locations of the Rusty Koi, as well as how you can catch them and their uses.

Below are some tips for fishing:

  • The Rusty 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 Rusty 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 Rusty Koi into Fish (cooking ingredient) via cooking/processing.
