Summary
Wabbaboy’sFlyKnightinstantlybecame a new indie darlingafter it dropped back in January. Many gamers fell in love with its combination ofKingsfieldgameplay and classicRunescapevisuals and are now already eagerly awaiting a sequel.
Players, alone or with up to three friends, assume the role of a squire belonging tothe order of Flyknights,a band of warriors set on vanquishing the witch, Lunamoth. Between the dungeon crawling action, players can kick back and fish at a number of ponds and rivers scattered across the game, and the food-shaped fish they catch come with a few useful benefits once they’ve been eaten.
11Espasota
Fish Sword
After opening the river gates in the Ruined City, players will notice a solitary swordfish swimming about at the end of the river. Upon catching it, they will receive the Espasota - a literal swordfish.
The Espasota is not ranked higher because, by this point in the game, players may havealready collected an arsenal of weaponsthat are better, or maybe they have come across weapons that they are simply more comfortable using.
The Espasota will occasionally get stuck on passing boats while it is being reeled in. Players should aim to catch it when there’s a gap in traffic.
10Llimamoll
Stronger Kicks
The Llimamoll becomes accessible to players once they reach the Tower of Anticipation. The small lemon-shaped fish comes with a kick, providing players with stronger kicks that push enemies further back.
The enhanced attacks have their uses: pushing enemies off of tight walkways or keeping them at arms length when you want to focus on range. However, receiving access to them at the end of the game’s penultimate levels reduces a player’s incentive to use them, as there are simply better fish to keep in one’s pockets.
The duration of a fish buff is extended depending on the size of the fish caught.
9Repoyes
Stronger Stance
Repoyes, found early on in the Deeper Ruins pond and later in the Tower of Anticipation pond, makes players sturdier by granting them resistance to push and knock back attacks.
It can be a useful buff for light armored builds where there is a higher risk of the player being stunned and knocked off their feet. This also means that players with sturdier armor can afford to fill their inventory slots with different fish.
The Deeper Ruins pond has a reoccurring glitch where fish seem to sink to the bottom=, making them difficult to catch. Resting and coming back resets their position.
8Raimollo
Poison Resistance
Raimollos retain their usefulness throughout the entirety ofFlyKnight. Initially found in the game’s first fishing area, the Peaceful Lake, Raimollos provides players with poison resistance and heals any build up of it.
Withpoison shooting plants showing upat various locations across the game, it’s a good idea to have a couple of these grape-shaped fish handy at most times.
The Peaceful Lake becomes inaccessible once players enter the first level. Players will be able to find Raimollos again once they reach the Deeper Ruins.
7Musanana
Health Regeneration
Musananas are the first of two healing fish that players will come across inFlyKnight,being initially found in the Peaceful lake and then later in the Swamp Ruins and the Tower of Anticipatio pond.
Lasting for just over four minutes, this fish will steadily regenerate players' health over time. This becomes especially useful whenpopped before boss fights, as smaller hits players don’t want to waste other healing items on will slowly mend themselves.
6Clementaire
Instant Health
Clementaires are the second healing fish players will find after reaching the Tower of Anticipation. Upon eating them, they will grant players a base 20 points of health. While that doesn’t come close to the health gained from a flask, they’re still handy for healing smaller hits.
Players struggling to keep themselves alive can stockpile a collection of these fish to essentially provide themselves with another charge for their flask. The only downside of the Clementaires is that gamers will have toopen the inventory in orderto use them.
5Condigubba
Mana Regeneration
Condigubbas are essential for player builds that are focused on magic. Found in the Tower of Anticipation pond, these fish will slowly regenerate a player’s mana. Not counting items like rings, Condigubbas provide one of the only two ways to do this.
Unlike other soulslikes,FlyKnightdoes not include a dedicated flask that players can use to restore their magic. This makes it necessary for those wanting to use spells to spend time collecting a stockpile of Condigubba.
4Llunagina
Instant Mana
With there being no flask to restore mana inFlyKnight, Llunaginas are - barring rings - the second of the only two ways to regenerate mana without resting.
They instantly provide players with 30 points of mana, letting them get a few more hits in with their spells while in a fight, effectively making LlunaginasFlyKnight’s fishy equivalent of a flask of Cerulean Tears fromElden Ring. The only downside to using them is that the player must use them from their inventory.
3Melonuna
Stamina Regeneration
Fights inFlyKnightare dependent on a player’s stamina. A player who extends themselves with too many hits will find it depleted, making them slow and leaving at risk of being stunned. On top of this, blocking, parrying, and using magic also consumes stamina.
Melonunas make stamina management much easier by providing players with a boost to its regeneration. First encountered in the Peaceful Lake, players should keep this fish in their inventory throughout their playthrough.
2Pinyenna
Physical Resistance
Pinyennas should become an integral part of every player’s stockpile once they reach the Swamp Ruins pond. Pinyennas provide players with about a 30% physical damage reduction.
Though this doesn’t sound like an awful lot, players will notice the blocked damage soon begin add up in fights. Pinyennas won’t affect magical attacks, like those of the ladybug enemies, butthey will boost survivabilityagainst practically every other enemy in the game.
