Brain Out 2 Level 61
📝 Walkthrough
Overview
Level 61 says "Please help with fishing." A boy sits on a riverbank holding a bent fishing rod, but the hook at the end of the line is empty. A blue fish is swimming right next to the hook in the water, yet it is not biting. A curious cat watches from a rock, and a bucket with a shovel sits beside him. Since the fish is already right beside the hook, you simply hook it directly.
- Difficulty: Easy
- Estimated moves: 1
Step-by-Step Solution
- Look at the water. The fishing line ends in an empty hook.
- Notice the fish. A blue fish is swimming just beside the hook, close enough to touch.
- Do not wait for it to bite. It will not bite on its own.
- Drag the fish onto the hook. Move the fish straight onto the empty hook so it gets hooked.
- Lift the rod. The fish is now impaled on the hook and lifted out of the water, splashing.
- The boy celebrates. He grins with closed eyes, and flowers pop up around him.
- Confirm the clear. The prompt reads "Fishing is successful!" and the green next button appears.
Strategy & Reasoning
This is a "cheat the fishing" puzzle. The setup makes it look like a patient waiting game — an empty hook, a bored fisherman, a nearby fish — but the fish is deliberately drawn right next to the hook so close that you can just grab it. Real fishing requires bait and patience, but the game lets you shortcut by hooking the fish directly.
The cat on the rock and the shovel in the bucket are distractions. The cat makes you think of using it as bait, and the shovel makes you think of digging worms, but neither is needed. The fish is already in reach; the trick is to stop waiting and just attach it to the hook.
Once the fish is on the hook, lifting the rod pulls it out of the water. The reward "Fishing is successful!" confirms the direct method worked. Do not overcomplicate with bait or digging — the fish is right there, just put it on the hook.
Tips & Common Mistakes
- Mistake: waiting for the fish to bite. It will not bite on its own.
- Mistake: using the cat or the shovel. They are distractions; no bait or digging is needed.
- Mistake: tapping the rod. The rod is fine; the hook just needs a fish on it. Drag the nearby blue fish onto the empty hook, then lift the rod. When the fish comes out of the water and "Fishing is successful!" appears, the level clears.
Replay Notes
When you replay this level, resist the obvious first instinct: the surface objects and the character's complaints are usually a distraction, and the real solution is hidden in an interactive detail most players never touch. Work through the scene once normally to see what the game allows you to drag, swipe, or shake, then combine the objects in an unexpected order rather than using them where they seem to belong. If you get stuck, remember that Brain Out 2 levels rarely require complex chains — the answer is almost always one counter-intuitive gesture applied to something on screen. Reset, ignore the noise, and look for the single movable item that does not look like a tool.
