How to Hang a Fish on Your Car in NTE

How to Hang a Fish on Your Car in NTE

If you've been exploring the open world of Neverness to Everness (NTE) and spotted other players driving around with a fish dangling from their rear bumper, you might be wondering how to pull off the same trick. It's a quirky cosmetic feature that adds a bit of personality to your vehicle, and it's easier to set up than you might think. This guide walks you through the entire process, from catching the right fish to equipping the necessary car part.

At a Glance

• Requirements: A Rear Tow Hook on your car and a purple or golden fish.
• Steps: Catch fish → Install hook → Lock fish → Equip as rear ornament.
• Cost: The hook costs Fons (in-game currency).
• Time: Roughly 15–30 minutes, depending on fishing luck.

Step 1: Catch a Purple or Golden Fish

First, you need a fish that's eligible for display. Only purple and golden rarity fish can be hung on your car. Here's how to get one:

1. Find a fishing spot – Look for bodies of water on the map with a fishing icon.
2. Equip a fishing rod and bait – Make sure you have both in your inventory.
3. Fish until you catch a purple or golden fish – The Fishing Frenzy event (if active) can increase your chances, but it's not required.

If you're having trouble, try using higher-quality bait or fishing in specific locations known for rarer catches.

Step 2: Install a Rear Tow Hook

Next, you need to modify your car to have a Rear Tow Hook. This is a cosmetic part that allows you to attach ornaments like fish.

1. Go to any car modification shop – These are marked on the map.
2. Interact with the seller and choose your car.
3. Press Modify and navigate to the Rear Tow Hook option.
4. Buy it for Fons – The cost is relatively low, so it shouldn't break the bank.

Once installed, the hook will be visible on your car's rear.

Step 3: Lock the Fish in Your Inventory

Before you can equip the fish, you need to lock it in your Fish Hold. This prevents the game from showing a "There are no usable fish in the Fish Hold" error when you try to select a rear ornament.

1. Open the map and select Hethereau Hobbies.
2. Choose Fishing and open your Fish Hold.
3. Lock the purple or golden fish you want to display.

Locking is essential – if you skip this, the game won't recognize the fish as usable for decoration.

Step 4: Equip the Fish on Your Car

Now for the final step:

1. Open your City Tycoon menu.
2. Go to the garage and select the car with the hook.
3. Choose the fish you want to put on your vehicle.
4. Press Use to apply it.

Your car will now sport a fish on the rear hook, and you can drive around with your new aquatic accessory.

Keeping Fish Fresh for Later

If you catch more purple or golden fish than you need, you can store them in a fish tank to keep them from spoiling. Here's how:

1. Teleport to the nearest Luna Bay (look for the fish bowl icon).
2. Buy a fish tank, fish tank decoration, fish food, and some acid to maintain pH levels.
3. Fast travel to any of your owned houses in NTE.
4. Place the fish tank and interact with it.
5. Place the decoration – without it, you can't put fish inside.
6. Transfer your unused locked fish into the tank.

Fish stored in a tank can also be used as rear ornaments later, so it's a good way to keep a supply on hand.

Troubleshooting

• "There are no usable fish in the Fish Hold" – Make sure you've locked the fish in your Fish Hold before trying to equip it.
• Can't find a Rear Tow Hook – Ensure you're at a car modification shop and have selected the correct car.
• Fish not appearing as an option – Double-check that the fish is purple or golden rarity and that it's locked.
