How to unlock the Our only wish to catch a fish! achievement in LEGO The Lord of the Rings - Definitive Guide

This is my own guide that I recently made for this achievement.

You are going to want to do this on the mission Taming Gollum because there is a spot that you can fish at an infinite amount of times. Watch the video as I show you exactly how to do this. If you have any questions, please leave a comment and let me know if there is anthing I can do to improve my solution, thanks!

I got this achievement and I only fished one time where all three presses were as the icon flashed. I also fished one other time where I only pressed the last two times as the icon flashed and the studs still appeared. The other times I fished, all presses were before the circle went away.

I did this in Hobbiton on the world map. There's a fishing spot just west of the fast travel point. Just keep fast traveling changing day to night and back,

I had to do the entire fishing mini game 20 times for this to pop (i.e. 60 perfect presses). Odd how it seems to be different for everyone.

Two tips for those who try this method, first if Golum doesn't eat the fish (after you throw one that is already available) go ahead and capture him this will allow you to start fishing and progress. Second don't use the Mythril rod as it doesn't have the mini-game attached and automatically catches, and these don't count (I tested lol)

Fishing is a QTE mini game found at jetties sprinkled throughout Middle-Earth. Fishing spots can be found both in levels and on the world map; they generally contain a key item for advancing the plot or unlocking a Mithril brick. A fishing spot can be found directly within Hobbiton on the west side of the river. Each spot can be continuously fished, though you need to reload the area before exploiting this.

The game gives you two fishers as part of the story-related unlocked characters: Merry, who fishes with a rod, and Gollum, who fishes with his hands. Merry is available after The Black Rider (which also has a fishing spot). Gollum doesn't unlock until much later in the game. In addition, there are two Treasure Trove items which allow any character to fish: the Fishing Rod and the Mithril Fishing Rod.

To fish, select a character with a rod, approach a jetty, and press B. you'll then need to to make three button presses to complete the mini game. These are random, but are always either X or A. Each press is timed, with a shrinking circle about the button icon. The achievement description is a bit vague, as the button icon pulses before the circle touches it. What you want is to press the corresponding button once the circle connects. At this point, light beams will strobe out of the icon. If you get all three presses correctly timed, you'll be rewarded with studs.

After I learned about proper timing, I got this achievement so quickly that I'm pretty sure it means 20 perfect presses, not 20 perfect mini-games (or triple-perfects, if you see what I mean). I'm not correcting your solution as it doesn't mention numbers anywhere, just trying to clarify the achievement.

I'm fairly certain it's 20 perfect fishing attempts, which would imply 60 correct button presses. You should be rewarded with 2000+ studs if done correctly.

Just confirmed it's 20 perfect presses, not attempts. I didn't even fish 20 times andgot it. Did it in the taming gollum level.

I don't know whether I fished 20 times, but I got this one after an attempt with no perfect presses (when the circle connects with the button icon), only 3 correct ones.

yes i would also like to know exactly WHAT is being counted. does one perfect minigame count as THREE perfect presses towards this achievement? if so, what if i only hit 2 of the 3 perfectly? do those 2 count, or do none of them count? ive done numerous fishing minigames and i feel ive been pretty near perfect every time and i havent gotten the achievement. some clarification would be much appreciated.

The best way to get this achievement is to load up the level weathertop (fishing spot at beginning) do the fishing QTE ...then save and quit level....rinse and repeat until achievement pops...

This achievement can easily be done on the mission taming Gollum during the boss fight you will need to fish at a peir to get a fish to fling at Gollum once this is done a highlighted area will appear do not use it and Gollum will go back to the wall allowing you to fish again.

When fishing to do it perfect only press the button when the circle around the button disappears and a small flash will appear behind the button you will know it is done
correctly by a large amount of studs appearing around your character.

Again, this is another trophy that you will get by the end of your collectable run. Throughout the game there are jetties which you can fish off for keys or cranks with either Merry or Gollum (or indeed any character once you craft the Mithril Fishing Rod, the Blacksmith Design Recipe of which can be found in “Track Hobbits”). When you start fishing, the button prompt will be surrounded by a circular fishing rod which closes in on the button. Once it fully closes in, the icon will briefly flash, which is your cue to hit the button prompt. You must do this three times to fish perfectly, and you will know you have done it because you will fish out blue and gold studs as well as your Treasure. Do this 20 times for the trophy.

It is possible to farm this trophy during the “Taming Gollum” level during the boss fight with Gollum. Once you have made the fishing rod with the three components, get the fish by fishing at the jetty and throw it at Gollum. However, don’t attack him like you are meant to, but instead wait until he has finished eating it and goes back to the wall. You will have to fish again, so keep repeating this until you get the trophy.

Throughout the story, either Merry, Gollum, or a character with a fishing rod item will have to fish at LEGO jetties (docks) to acquire items and/or solve puzzles. Opportunities for this are somewhat rare however, and you will need to grind this achievement.

To fish 'perfectly', wait for the circular hook around the button prompt to go completely around it, and begin to go inside, and then press the button. Your window of opportunity is a couple of seconds while the button is glowing, and should be easy enough to get the hang of after a couple of tries.

There are two ways to grind this achievement. The first of which is to play through the 'Taming Gollum' level in story mode. In the end boss battle against Gollum, you will need to catch fish with Sam using a fishing rod, and feed these fish to Gollum to distract him. Instead of hurting him when he is distracted, simply allow him to eat the fish, catch another fish, and repeat until the achievement unlocks.

The second method is the method I personally used. Many areas of Middle Earth have LEGO jetties close to their Map Stones, and you are able to fish again at each one upon leaving and reentering the area. Three good places to do this are the jetty near the Map Stone in Hobbiton, the jetty in Osgiliath near the Minas Morgul Map Stone, and the jetty near the Mines of Moria Map Stone.

Simply fast travel to one location, fish, travel somewhere else, fish, etc. until the achievement unlocks.
