Overview
Daytime. One Inspector. Benches and reeds for cover. The legendary fish is the Golden Koi (fictional). Your job is to cast quietly, land a catch, and leave through the south gate.
Inspector Route
He loops the pond clockwise in about twenty seconds and pauses two seconds at the fountain. That pause is your casting window. Watch one full loop before you commit.
Best Casting Spots
West reeds
Best cover and the safest place to learn soft reels. Start here on your first clears.
East bench
More fish, but wide open. Save it for score runs once you know the loop by heart.
Escape Path
If you get spotted, loop the flowerbed to break line of sight, then exit through the south gate marked with a green arrow. Do not cut across the open path in front of the fountain.
3-Star Criteria
- Unseen: finish without entering chase.
- Legendary: land the Golden Koi.
- Speed: exit in under 60 seconds.
