20 Things Animal Crossing: New Horizons Doesn't Tell You

Tip: If your character exclaims ‘Yes!’ After catching a bug/fish, you haven’t caught it before.

[@oolongpepsi3552]

Here's a tip for wasps. if you shake the tree from the front while holding your net your character will automatically face the nest you will be standing right next to the nest and be looking right at it all you have to do is do one quick swipe of the net, no moving required this method requires little to no effort to catch the wasps without being stung

List of “untold secrets” in video: 1: Hold B to run/speed up dialog 2: Press Y to cover holes without shovel, and also hop over them 3: Press left/right on d-pad to switch items, move them around in inventory to change order 4: Pick up weeds around trees/stones to prevent item loss 5: You can hit a stone up to 8 times, dig two holes besides a stone to keep you in place while hitting it 6: Wasps fall from trees sometimes, keep to the right-hand side and hold a net before shaking 7: Talk to a villager after you’re stung to get the medicine recipe (don’t have medicine in your inventory) 8: Announcement everyday after 5 am your time 9: Running through flowers will break the bulbs, but not the stems 10: Move plants and trees using a shovel (eat fruit first to move full grown trees) 11: Eat fruit to break rocks (hit it normally first until no more items drop) 12: Craft/buy furniture with a mirror to change your appearance, wardrobe/drawer to see/change whole outfits 13: You can use a villager’s workshop/mirror if not in use 14: Stone axe won’t cut down trees, Iron axe will, the stump left behind can spawn bugs sometimes 15: Look up at the sky and press A to wish on shooting stars, fragments appear the next day 16: Special wandering NPCs may appear, check your island for them 17: Crafted items sell for more than their materials used 18: Glowing spots have 1,000 bells, replant in the spot to get triple the amount later on 19: Crafted items have a check mark on their DIY card, items you own have a box, and customizable items have a paint pallet 20: New Nook Miles quests appear when the corresponding action is fulfilled (i.e, Talking to a villager unlocks Island Togetherness)

With your net out, hold A to brace yourself to catch a bug. Releasing the A button will make you swing the net. Also, holding A while moving with your net makes you slowly move so you can sneak up on a bug (cough cough tarantula, walk towards it and let go when it jumps to chase you) Dont aim your fishing rod to land on top of the fish, aim a little ways in front of it and you'll get its attention MUCH faster (this seemed obvious to me as a veteran player but it was a revelation to some peeps on twitter) You can dig up trees in every stage of growth except for fully grown without eating fruit first You can move money trees as long as they're not full grown, if you dig it up when its fully grown itll turn into a regular hardwood tree You can shake trees repeatedly to get more sticks, I think up to 8 or 9 sticks per tree?

Tip: Run into any building to escape wasps

[@xXStephanieVannoyXx]

Literally what I started to do with wasps because I always failed in using my net.

[@violetrowlet777]

You can also run into a building and escape the wasps. Just run with B into a building while they are chasing you and escape them by going into the building and when you come out they will be gone.

[@SideshowBob44]

I’m not gonna time travel, i have Doom to play as well so don’t mind waiting for the next day in this 😅

[@Darkwolfpocco]

Note about wasps from trees. Try to always shake trees from the front you will auto look to the side the nest falls on and either have the net in hand or use the item wheel or open inventory to pause the wasps in place. This will keep you from having to reorient yourself to catch them. Simply shake the tree from the front, wait for the shock animation to play and swing with bet or get net out and swing. Wont have to move at all for an easy catch.

[@Pneuma6969]

A little tip for all of you: When hornets haunt you or more like when the hornet nest appears instantly save your game and go back in again, the hornets are gone and you can loot the nest

[@bleebleeblahblah]

How do you save the game? Doesn't it do it periodically.. how do I manually do it? The home button? Yes?

[@uberotaku8536]

@@bleebleeblahblah Manual save by pressing the - button

[@spitqueen]

OR catch them bc theyre worth like 2k

[@jaymees5374]

[@DarkestDion]

While shaking trees, hold a Net and shake em from either lower corners, when the nest falls, your character will automatically turn toward it surprised, then press A. Easy.

Imagine buying a game where the satisfaction and fun is from a gradual daily build... and then time travelling.

[@DuckBoxHouse]

Imagine shaming people for playing a game the way they want to

[@xypaisb8026]

I time traveled in animal corssing new leaf all the time and I still spent 1000 hours on it lol play the game like you want to

[@oliviaj9037]

@saul Agreed. Speedrun it if you want - but those guys don't know how rewarding the game is actually meant to be.

[@Valancet]

@saul so, if I offered you a million dollars right now, you wouldn't take it? I mean, it would be more rewarding to just earn the money yourself. There is no "wrong" way to PLAY if you're having fun.

[@GalicianSniper]

One pro tip. If you have a crafting Nook miles challenge activated and you don't really want to waste any materials at that moment, go to the beach, get some clams and use them to make fish bait. That's the easiest way to deal with those challenges since the recipe is ridiculously simple and clams are everywhere.

[@DettolObsessed]

I'm new to AC... am I playing a different game for some reason!? I have only 1 small island and I can't sleep and time is moving according to real time; how on earth did they manage to get a different season and lots of buildings and all kinds of things like this?! :/

[@divina2732]

AC is a slow day-by-day kind of game. Just collect, craft, and sell in the meantime and soon your town will evolve. Talking to Tom Nook gives you a general idea of what's next to do as far as the main story.

[@Matt-ij7zc]

Cup you can “time travel” by changing the console time. That’s how they are in different seasons. Some people think that this is cheating however

[@galaxxisdionysus7149]

Poop Sock not to tell you how to “play the game” but time traveling kinda ruins the fun and even can result in events being skipped (example would be is how in New leaf, if you time travel back or forth when Dr. Shrunk is in town for the first time, he won’t appear again until w a y later)

[@xeros720]

Not to mention Nintendo sent review copies over a week ago. IGN and other sites have been playing for a while.

[@guthetanuki256]

They've been playing since beginning of the month because review copies. Naturally everything is gonna look well established on their island.

[@RT-qz5ci]

Best tip video yet. 21 seconds in and already learned 2 really important things I didn’t learn in other videos. My Wife and I are new to the franchise. Thanks!

[@TheIrishDino]

Hey man. If you have any questions about anything in New Horizons I'll be happy to answer them

[@RT-qz5ci]

Dino The TRex any advice on how we can play on one island with 2 switches? We want to play together on 1 island but not share a screen. ?

[@TheIrishDino]

@@RT-qz5ci Sure! If you go to the airport and open your gates by pressing the "I want visitors" option. Then other person must go to their airport and chose "I wanna fly!", then "I wanna visit someone" and then choose "Via local play".

[@oddfriends6434]

Oh in this game u can hold ur net while shaking a tree I’m currently playing city folk so I need to put it back run away take out my net and try to catch it

[@trumpettwinnie]

Another thing (unless I missed the part where the game tells you) is when you can speed up the crafting animation by tapping A quickly

[@TheWitchofEndor-1]

It also doesn’t tell you that additional characters on the island are extremely limited in what they can do and can’t even build anything or move in villagers.

[@mushmush4980]

That moment when you play on the same switch..

[@TheWitchofEndor-1]

shoof legit.....

[@victoriamahon3765]

Another tip on the money tree you can plant up to 10,000 bells and it will triple. There are stories of people planting more than that but it’s not guaranteed if you plant 10,000 bells you’re guaranteed to get 30,000 back. I keep a rotating row of trees and re-planted each day so that I’m getting 30,000 bells each day. Also once I plant the money tree I like to dig it up and then move it so they’re close to my house. I just re-plant them in a row next to my house so it’s easy to harvest the bells each day.

[@johnsonaustinj]

So THAT'S why I was breaking all the dang rocks.

[@monascatalyst3567]

tips for the money trees!! you can plant up to 10,000 bells, which will produce 1 tree with 30,000 bells on it! you can also move the sprout after you plant it, and the money will still grow even if you replant it somewhere new. happy planting ❤

[@shadypielover]

I’m glad it doesn’t tell you this stuff, we don’t need that hand holding like in new gen Pokemon games 😤

[@iBeFloe]

Finding out we could jump holes was a cute thing for me. Wouldn’t have liked it if the game told em to do so lol

[@sirboringname]

@@iBeFloe Same. I was recording my screen with my elgato and sharing my laptop screen with my friend the 1st time I played and finding out all these new things was really fun to do. It just takes out some of the fun by telling the player every single thing that you can do.

[@geeidunno6592]

Some more basic tips: 1) If you go into a villagers home and they're already using their work station, talk to them, they'll give you whatever DIY recipe they're working on. 2) The tip where weeds prevent drops applies to balloons as well. If you shoot a balloon out of the sky and it lands on weeds it will try to bounce to an open area but that open area might be your river 🙊 so maybe let it float a little more before firing.

[@G94Nick]

[@DarkestDion]

Tarantulas won't attack and they will retreat from you, unless you have a net equipped, thats where they can knock you out unless you catch them.

[@billtheminer9945]

Me: *Don't have an Nintendo Switch* Also me:

You can also get bitten by a Tarantula and get knocked out

I wish number 4 was a thing at New Leaf. I've lost so much fruit and presents due to weeds, flowers and QR patterns.

[@jordan0_o638]

How did y’all get so far in the game already

[@macias9]

Reviewers got their copies a few weeks ago to review the game

[@forgedmace]

And time travel

[@FabioCapela]

My usual strategy for an accelerated start in Animal Crossing games is to decide how many extra days I want to progress and set the date back by that amount when I first start the game (or reset the save). Then whenever I feel ready to advance an extra day I do so, until I'm back at the present. Doing it this way the dates for in-game achievements feel natural, so after you're back in the present your game doesn't look as if you used time travel at all, though it does limit how much you can benefit from time travel.

[@sarasthoughts]

@@FabioCapela this is so smart!

[@christopherbradley7149]

[@Arulust]

Ever since Sucker moved to my island I´ve been talking to him every day, giving him things, he is even the one I talk to the most together with Phoebe and Kevin and still I found him thinking about leaving. So I think it can happen regardless of whether you ignore the villager or not.

[@chloelim7992]

“You can catch the wasps.” This changes everything

[@wickedscorpius]

You could catch them in New Leaf, too

[@Nikkiii-1]

You can also go into a building or tent or something to get rid of wasps/bees

[@ArtemiyArtemiyevichPinker]

Plot twist: If you run to your home the bees come inside instead of disappearing
