Le Fishe: All 10 Hearts for 100% Completion
This page covers all ten hearts in Le Fishe, which is what 100% means in this game. It also covers the main quest steps that open up the island, and the fastest ways to make money. You can see the ending once you have four hearts, well before you have all ten.
The short version: catch five stones for the Rock Enthusiast, then two driftwood and three stones for the neckbeard man. Buy the $500 running upgrade and win the race. Then reel in a royal flush for the gambler using the Casino Rod in the open sea. Once you hold four hearts, answer the Mystery Man with “Fish” and fish in the pond the pillar creates. That ends the game and earns the Heart of Hearts. The rest is collecting. The Heart of Greed, Heart of Speed and Heart of Cream are quick. The Heart of Cards, Heart of the Beast and Heart of Stone are the long, luck-based ones.
Spoiler warning: this page names the late areas, characters and the way the game ends.

Controls and the last five catches
Hold the left mouse button to cast, and tap it quickly once the bar shows up to reel in. Bigger fish pull harder. If you walk around too much or step into the water, the line breaks.
The game remembers the last five things you caught. The quests check that list, so the order of your catches matters.
Rods
Money comes from plain fishing, and your first money goes on rods. The Rocky Rod is the one the first quest needs. These are the rods that come up in this guide:
| Rod | What it is for |
|---|---|
| Rocky Rod | Pulls up stones, and very rarely the shiny rock. Stones never drag you into the water. |
| Builder Rod | Pulls up driftwood, though not every cast |
| Casino Rod | Bought for the royal flush (see that section) |
| Dragon Rod | Faster winding |
| Repeat Rod | Catches again from your last five catches, so one good catch can be repeated |
Rock Enthusiast: five stones
The Rock Enthusiast stands near the south shore and hints that you need five rocks.
Buy the Rocky Rod and catch 5 stones with it, so that your last five catches are all stones. That expands your island.
Neckbeard man: two driftwood, then three stones
The new ground brings the neckbeard man, a racer and a carpenter.
The neckbeard man wants two driftwood and then three stones, in exactly that order, as your last five catches. Use the Builder Rod until two driftwood come up back to back. Then switch to the Rocky Rod for three stones. If you already own the Repeat Rod, it can repeat a catch for you instead.
Running upgrade and the race
Buy the running upgrade from the racer for $500. That lets you race them, and winning opens more of the island. A scientist then shows up who sells a tracker for fishing spots. Winning also leads to the Heart of Speed (see its heading below for the route).
Royal flush for the gambler
A gambler now stands next to a pool full of cards. To reach the end game, you need a royal flush: the 10, Jack, Queen, King and Ace of one suit, caught in any order.
Buy the Casino Rod and cast it into the open sea, where it only gives you those five cards. Casting the Casino Rod into the card pool gives no such guarantee, so stay on the ocean.
Each card takes as many clicks to reel in as its face value. The fast way: get the 10 through King into your last catches first. Then cast for the ace and click once. If one click does not land it, it is not the ace, so right click to cancel the cast and cast again until the ace turns up.
The Mystery Man and the ending
After the island expands one more time, you meet the Mystery Man. He asks for four hearts before he will let you finish, which is where the heart sections below come in.
Once you have four hearts, answer the Mystery Man with “Fish”. A pillar then creates a pond. Fish into that pond to see the end of the game.
Heart of Hearts
The Heart of Hearts unlocks by itself when you finish the game as described above. There is nothing extra to do.
Heart of Man
The Heart of Man asks you to land every common fish that lives in the ocean.
To see which ones you are missing, talk to the man in the starting shack and choose “Fish”.
Heart of Cream
For the Heart of Cream, cast straight into the ice cream stand and fish up all three of its drops. None of them are rare, so this goes quickly. Then talk to the kid next to the stand.
Heart of Cards
The Heart of Cards needs all 55 cards from the card pool next to the gambler. That is a full deck of 52, two jokers and one blank card.
This one is pure luck and it takes a while. Unlike the royal flush, there is no known way to steer the pool toward the cards you lack.
The Dragon Rod makes the winding quicker, which helps over a long grind.
Heart of Games
For the Heart of Games, cast into the arcade cabinet. Each catch loads one of three games into it. Beat every one of the three games once, then go back and talk to the construction man for the heart.
Heart of Reflection
This one is easy to miss. Once the last area of the island is open, there is a pond at the back, behind the pillar, called the MLMB pond. It is a different spot from the pond that ends the game. Get in and rest there for a while, and the Heart of Reflection is yours.
Heart of the Beast
The Heart of the Beast asks you to catch the three meme items connected to the neckbeard man from the mid game. With luck it is quick. Without luck it is one of the three slow, luck-based hearts, with the Heart of Cards and the Heart of Stone.
MLMB Cat
Fish in the MLMB pond behind the pillar. The MLMB Cat is a guaranteed catch there, and it brings up a Steam pop-up for a joke game.
Forbidden Onahole
The hardest of the three, and along with the shiny rock likely the hardest catch in the game. It only comes from ordinary ocean fishing and some luck. As a rough guide, expect it to take about as long as landing 15 to 20 Swordfish.
Wallet
Cast into the grave to fish up the Wallet.
Heart of Stone
Fish with the Rocky Rod until a shiny rock comes up. It needs a huge number of clicks to reel in.
Once you have caught both the shiny rock and a normal stone, talk to the Rock Enthusiast to get your Heart of Stone.
Heart of Greed
The Heart of Greed is an easy heart and a quick step toward game completion. It makes a good one of the four hearts the ending needs. Fish up the Wallet (see above), then talk to the grave.
If you want the $50000 money trick, do it first: it stops working once you have this heart (see Making money fast).
Heart of Speed
The Heart of Speed comes from beating the racer to the flag. The bushes slow you down, so keep tight to the right side of them and you reach the flag first. Talk to the racer afterwards to get the heart.
Making money fast
Once the early rods are bought, money is rarely a problem. These are the best ways to get more of it.
| Method | When | Payout |
|---|---|---|
| Win the Fishing Derby | Mid or late game | $800 per win |
| Normal fishing | Any time | Red Devil $200, Anchor $500, Swordfish $5000 |
| Catch one Swordfish, then repeat it with the Repeat Rod | Once you own the Repeat Rod | $5000 per catch |
| Scam upgrade and Wallet, then the Repeat Rod | End game, set up once per playthrough | $50000 per catch |
The last method works like this at the time of writing. It can only be set up once per playthrough, in the end game, and only if you have not yet claimed the heart from the grave.
- Buy the $20000 scam upgrade from the grave.
- Take the Wallet from the grave. You get $50000 for it, and that $50000 counts as one of your last five catches.
- Use the Repeat Rod to catch the $50000 again, as many times as you like.
