10 Hidden Secrets Many Still Haven’t Found In Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Animal Crossing fans both old and new have been catching bugs, growing trees, and decorating their homes since Animal Crossing: New Horizons came out on the 20th. Unless you are a time-traveling sort of player, then you are just getting settled with filling up your museum, gathering villagers, and grooming your island into the perfect home.
There are a lot of new aspects to the game as well as old nostalgic ones from previous Animal Crossing titles. Whether you are a veteran player or a newcomer to the series, there are a lot of little secrets to learn! Here are ten that we have found so far.
10 You Can Dig Up Entire Trees
Cutting down trees has always been part of the game, but now you can actually re-locate them! All you need to do is eat a lot of fruit (up to 10) and they power you up to do what would be impossible otherwise.
If you eat a lot of fruit and use a shovel on a full-grown tree, you will un-root it and put it in your pocket! So you don't have to plant the fruit anymore, you can just relocate entire trees!
9 Some Nook Miles Challenges Are Hidden Until You Do Them
While there are Nook Mile achievements you can see and unlock with tools, there are some that you will never see unless you already perform the action. This includes getting bitten my tarantulas or accidentally losing a balloon present in a river, lake, or ocean.
So, be sure to try new things all the time! Don't be afraid to write letters, dig holes, and get bitten by various creatures—scary as that sounds!
8 You Can Destroy Rocks
Rocks are more than just a Bell resource in New Horizons. With the crafting mechanics, you can harvest rocks for clay, iron, and more. If you don't like a rocks' placement on your island, the gave has given you a way to break it!
Just eat a lot of fruit. If you are powered up by fruit and use the ax or shovel on the rock, it will shatter and be destroyed. You also don't have to worry about where you will get resources from, as a new rock will appear on your island in a couple of days.
7 Using A Toilet Actually Does Something If You Have Eaten Fruit
Toilets have always been an item in the series. You can sit on it, and it automatically flushes when you get off of it. That was all.
New Horizons decided to make them have an actual function. Say you have eaten a lot of fruit, but you do not want to be powered up anymore. You can use the toilet! After sitting on it and getting off, you will see your fruit meter go down.
6 Emoting At Villagers Makes Them Emote Back
It takes a couple of days for you to learn your first emotes. Once you have them, you may just use them for pictures and playing with friends. However, did you know that emoting at villagers will have them emote back? It is pretty cute!
This includes NPCs like Tom Nook, Harvey, and others.
5 Talk To A Neighbor While Stung To Learn Medicine Recipe
If you get stung by a wasp, your face becomes messed up. You either can wait until the next day for it to disappear or buy some medicine from the store and use it on yourself.
New Horizons has offered a third method that will save you a lot of Bells and ugly face time in the long run. If you speak to a villager after you've been stung, they will provide you with a DIY recipe for medicine. It is a very easy one too that requires just the wasp nest and three weeds.
4 Days Reset At 5 A.M.
A lot of players are curious about this, so you may have looked it up already.
Unless you time travel by changing the settings on your Nintendo Switch, Animal Crossing will play out in real-time. Every day will have new items in the shops, possibly new neighbors, and more things to do. So, a lot of players get curious as to when the day resets. The answer is 5 A.M. Animal Crossing follows the old saying "The early bird gets the worm." So, if you pay off your debt at 4 A.M., your home will be upgraded in the next hour.
3 Stone Axes And Iron Axes Are Very Different
Unless you plan to de-forest your entire island, you will want to invest in a stone ax. Stone Axes will not cut trees down, but they will allow you to harvest them for resources. Iron axes will let you harvest resources but will cut the tree down as well. This is also true for rocks. If you want to harvest from rocks, stick with the stone ax. An iron ax will break the stone.
Our advice: always have both kinds of axes on your person!
2 Certain Bugs Only Show Up On Stumps
Some players make the big mistake of not having a single stump in their town. It is a mistake because certain insects will only appear on stumps. So, if you plan on filling up the bug section of the museum, you are going to want a stump to check on every day!
Bugs that sit on stumps include the Citrus Long-Horned Beetle, Rosalia Batsei Beetle, the Violin Beetle, and more.
1 Press A To Wish On A Shooting Star
Veteran players will already know this secret, as this is the same as previous Animal Crossing games. If you feel like watching the sky at night, you might see a shooting star. Be sure to press the A button the moment you see it!
Pressing A makes your character make a wish. It will make something special happen that we won't spoil for you!
