New Horizons F.A.Q. – Ask Questions Here!

[Mick]

I have yet to even seen a cicada shell. Is it possible to scare it away? Sounds dumb, but you can scare a tire away when fishing, so....

There's currently a thread with a few people mentioning they're failing to find one. I'll definitely try this if I see another, though.

I also think it's strange that it's a regular NM goal, but there are also a few other trivial NM goals, so it's not that much of an outlier. I guess it's because it's "dead" which sets it apart from all of the other bugs. You can have a stinkbug show up as a NM+ goal, but the wasp is the only other bug I know of with a dedicated NM goal for catching it. There are NM goals for getting bitten/stung by tarantulas, scorpions, and wasps, but those are part of the "bad stuff that happens to you" category of NM goals.

Ah, there are definitely other low-effort achievements in there, but this one is just... I don't know, oddly specific. But like I said, there are some people out there looking really hard for this thing so maybe it was intended as some sort of "lucky you!" kind of deal. Then again, some fish like the barreleye could also use such an achievement in that case...

Silly question, but are you looking in the right place? They're in the cabinet with the other tools and not outside with the furniture.

I‘ve gotten them there but there haven‘t been any the last two days.

Are you looking in the cabinets where they sell the tools and flower seeds?

yes, i've been looking in the right place. but today i checked and there was a wetsuit! i guess for the first 3 days it just.... didn't have them. i think it's a little bit strange that they come in and out of the shop, but they should at least have them available on the first day up the update. oh well!

Not sure if this has been addressed but Pascal didn't come when I caught my first scallop today (nor any subsequent scallops). Happened to my friend the other day too. Does he not show up every day?

He will show up randomly when you catch a scallop. It might not be the first one. Your gates must be close and you cannot be in Co op mode.

OHHHH. My gates were open from a trade. Thank you!!! Don't wanna miss out on my daily recipe.

Can Pascal appear more than once a day if you get more than one scallop?

No, just once a day. You can make extra characters to get more items, diys, and pearls

Thanks ! I was wondering about it!

Can someone confirm if this is correct?
If you invite a random campsite visitor to stay, they will chose a random resident to kick out (which you can then close the game and try again if they choose a resident you want to keep). If you invite an amiibo villager to stay, they let you choose which resident to kick out. Does that sound about right?

That’s exactly right. Stupid Nintendo for making random campers do that.

I am so behind, I haven't even had KK Slider come yet...what do I do?

Go to Saturday and he’ll show up

I think you need at least 7 villagers before you get 3 stars. Less than 7 will cap your rating at 2 stars. Did you talk to Isabelle about what your island is missing. You could just place a lot of furniture down for three stars to just unlock terraforming and KK.

Sorry I forgot to mention that too! Yeah you need 3 stars

Dumb question, I know but how do people type so fast on ACNH? I find it so hard to type.

Download the Nintendo switch app. There's a keyboard.

In addition to the NSO app, if you play docked, you can also hook up a USB keyboard to the dock and use that.

 

[Dunquixote]

Nm! Sorry. Not the right thread I think to post this at.

Wondering if second player can adopt boxed villagers from other players islands?

Concerning the DAL items, how are they counted? I've been flying 2 to 6 times per day this week to an island but I'm not receiving any gifts. Does it only count once per day or so?
