In Dazed Games’ Steam game How to Fish, you get legendary skins by inserting drip creatures into any Reel of Fortune slot machine and rolling until the RNG gives you a legendary skin.
How to Fish is Dazed Games’ physics-based co-op fishing game on Steam, and buried in its loop of catching, shooting, and selling sea creatures is a small gambling machine that hands out weapon skins. The rarest of those payouts are legendary, and landing one is what unlocks the GOLD GOLD GOLD achievement. There’s no crafting path or shop for them — the only source is the slot machine, and the only way to play it is with drip creatures.
How legendary skins are unlocked
Legendary skins are pure gambling drops. You feed a special item into the Reel of Fortune, the game rolls, and every so often the result is a legendary skin instead of a common one. The machine itself spells out the entry cost right on the screen: insert a drip creature to play. That’s the whole mechanic — no quest gate, no boss requirement, just enough attempts for the RNG to land on the top-tier result.
Drip creatures and the Reel of Fortune
| Thing | Use |
|---|---|
| Drip creature | The entry item you insert to play a roll |
| Reel of Fortune | The slot machine that rolls for weapon skins |
Two things do all the work here. Drip creatures are rare variants of the ordinary fish you’re already killing — they show up with rainbow name text and deliberately goofy skins, so they’re impossible to miss on screen when one spawns. They aren’t something you sell for a bonus; they’re the token the slot machine wants. The Reel of Fortune is that machine, and it only accepts drip creatures as its play cost.
Farming drip creatures for skin rolls
Hunt for drip variants
Catch and kill creatures as normal, watching for the rainbow name text and off-model look that marks a drip creature.
Pick up the drip creature
Grab it the same way you’d handle any catch so you can carry it to the machine.
Take it to a Reel of Fortune
Bring the drip creature over to the slot machine and interact when it prompts you to insert it.
Roll for a skin
Each drip creature you insert is one RNG pull at a skin, and a legendary result is what fires the GOLD GOLD GOLD achievement.
Keep rolling
Don’t hoard drip creatures — they respawn endlessly, so there’s no reason to save them for later. Feed every one you find straight into the Reel of Fortune to get more rolls in.
Spending drip creatures without losing them
Key Gambling a drip creature away feels expensive the first time, but it costs you nothing permanent. Drip creatures respawn, so anything you spend at the machine comes back — the only real currency here is your time. That’s why chasing the legendary skin is safe to grind hard: a bad run of rolls just means going back out to catch more.
If you’d rather do this with every location available, the post-game phase makes it easier. After the credits you wake up back on the first island with all five islands open, so you can farm drip creatures and hit any machine you like without progression getting in the way. It’s a convenience, not a requirement — you can start rolling long before you finish the game.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you use the Reel of Fortune on any island?
Yes. There’s a Reel of Fortune on every island, and they all work the same way, so you can roll at whichever machine is closest instead of traveling back to a specific one.
Are legendary skins guaranteed from drip creatures?
No — the machine is pure RNG. Inserting a drip creature guarantees a roll, not a legendary result, and the exact odds of hitting a legendary aren’t published in-game, so treat it as a repeat-farm grind rather than a fixed number of attempts.
Do drip creatures come back after you spend them?
They do, indefinitely. Because they respawn without limit, there’s no cap on how many rolls you can take — you can keep farming and gambling as long as it takes, and the same hunting also chips away at collecting every drip creature in the game.
