Crafting is the name of the game in Green Hell. As you traverse the Amazon, you'll build traps, shelters, fires, beds, weapons, and tools, all essential for survival in this perilous jungle. However, while so many of the items you encounter are integral to many crafting recipes, the Green Hell Brazil Nut is needed for a singular but essential tool: the Fishing Rod.
This guide will walk you through how to build the Green Hell Fishing Rod, as well as how to find the sometimes elusive Brazil Nut.
How to Make the Green Hell Fishing Rod
While you'll hunt and kill other animals with rocks, bows, bone knives, and spears, catching your prey sometimes requires a bit more elegance. For example, in most river areas, especially those just below the waterfalls, fish are easy to find and with a simple weak spear you can catch most fish easily.
However, if you are looking for something a little more tranquil, a fishing rod is the best option. Crafting a fishing rod is a relatively simple task and you will need the following crafting materials:
- 1x long stick or long bamboo stick
- 1x rope
- 2x bird feathers
- 1x bowl of Brazil nuts
Finding most ingredients is easy. Long sticks can be found by chopping down trees. The rope can be found hanging from the side of thicker trees (called liana). Feathers can be found either in bird nests or by harvesting the bodies of dead parrots, which are often scattered around the map.
How to Find Green Hell Brazil Nuts
But above all, you will need Brazil nuts. Green Hell Brazil Nuts are found at the base of tall trees, and harvesting them will provide you with the bowl.
How to make a hook for the fishing rod
Once you've collected your gear and assembled your fishing rod, you'll need a hook. These are incredibly easy to put together and require either a bone needle or a fishbone.
Harvesting a fish will give you a fishbone and harvesting a bone will give you a bone needle. A bone is easily found on the carcasses of dead animals. Placing either in the crafting menu will prompt you to craft a hook.
Once you have your hook, equip it to the fishing rod. Then open your backpack and slide the hook on the rod to combine the two.
How to get bait for the fishing rod
Now that you have your fishing rod fully assembled, the last component needed is the bait. Small insects and fungi can be used as bait. However, if you find a bone in an animal carcass, there will also be maggots which will work just as well.
Like how you combined rod and hook, open your backpack/inventory and drag your bait onto the fishing rod.
And that's how to make the Green Hell fishing rod. Now that you know how to get all the crafting materials, including the Brazil nut, you can relax by the water and let time fade away. If you want to multitask fish catching, consider building a fish trap. We also have a guide on that.
