Players of Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave have been handed a clear roadmap for locating one of the game’s most elusive materials — the paradise fish — which is required to recruit Ninae, the “Angel of Death,” in the latest guide published by Gamer24h. The paradise fish can only be harvested from Lake Brontes, a fishing node tucked along the south side of Saveilon, and gathering it is a deliberate expedition that demands a well-leveled party, patience, and careful route planning. For those aiming to add Ninae to their roster, the fish is not merely a collectible but a hard prerequisite, making this guide a vital resource for anyone navigating the game’s intricate branching paths.
A Rare Catch Demands Preparation
Unlike more common materials that can be purchased from vendors or pulled from crates, the paradise fish is a rare resource that can only be obtained by exploring the map and locating the correct node. Because it is the rarest material in the Lake Brontes node, players may need to use the “Search” command more than once before a single specimen appears. The guide recommends saving before each attempt and simply reloading the game if the catch is missed, while offering an alternative strategy for those on Theodora’s path: leaving a battalion stationed at the node to gather materials automatically.
Reaching the node itself is no small feat. The paradise fish is only available in Lake Brontes, a fishing node on the south side of Saveilon, and the region carries the risk of encountering enemies. Players are advised to field a party of characters around level 25 to traverse the area without too much trouble. For those already familiar with the Saveilon region, the fastest route from Dagsion involves taking the carriage to the Salacia Posthouse and then heading south. Once the Axion Gorge node is reached, players can either push east through the Valhalla Mine dungeon — an ideal opportunity to level up — or continue south and east past the Faun’s Forest node, which instead unlocks the path to the Messalina Orchards, a settlement where rare plants can be purchased.
Although you can buy some materials from vendors or obtain them by opening crates, some materials are so rare that your only option is to explore the map and look for a node to collect them from.

Why the Paradise Fish Matters
Beyond its use in preparing meals at feast nodes or trading it for items with the Vandahl Trading Co., the paradise fish plays a pivotal role in character recruitment. Players need just one of these rare fish to recruit Ninae, the Angel of Death. Once the minimum support and renown level requirements are met — which vary depending on the route being played — delivering the fish to Ninae convinces her to join the team. She is a formidable unit equipped with the “Diadem of Reflection” bloodmark, which grants a +30 hit bonus when attacking, provided the bloodmark triggers.
For newcomers still orienting themselves within the game’s complex web of causality, Gamer24h has assembled a range of supporting explainers, including guides on which character to pick first, how to change heroes, and whether to play in casual or classic mode. The publication also notes that Fortune’s Weave is a massive title, and offers readers guidance on how long the campaign may take to complete.
Looking Ahead
As players progress through the initial Heroic Games matches, the guide suggests focusing on recruiting additional characters, unlocking Boons of Salvation, and spending free time as efficiently as possible. Veteran players are reminded not to forget the Perch and its quick Bird Time session, a small but beloved respite amid the larger campaign. With the paradise fish now firmly located and its purpose clarified, players can turn their attention to the next milestone in their journey through Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave.
