Learn how to swim in Animal Crossing New Horizons with this step-by-step guide! Get ready to explore in your wet suit & discover every underwater critter.
In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, you can purchase a wetsuit from the Nook's Cranny store or from the Nook Shopping app on your NookPhone. Here's how to do it:
Alternatively, you can also purchase a wetsuit through the Nook Shopping app on your NookPhone. Here's how:
For a full list of wet suits, head on over to Nookazon! You can also buy wet suits from other players online. Once you have your wetsuit, put it on by selecting it from your inventory and pressing the "Wear" button. Then head to the beach and press "A" to jump into the water!
To catch sea creatures in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, you will need a wet suit, which you can purchase from Nook's Cranny or the Nook Shopping app on your NookPhone as explained above. Once you have your wetsuit, you can follow these steps to catch sea creatures:
Some sea creatures can only be found during certain months, so be sure to check your Critterpedia to see which creatures are available in your current season. Additionally, some sea creatures can only be found at certain times of day or during specific weather conditions, so be on the lookout for those factors as well.
It's also worth noting that some sea creatures will be scared away if you swim too close or make too much noise, so try to approach quickly. And remember, it's important to donate new sea creatures to the museum to help Blathers expand his collection!
You can swim faster in Animal Crossing: New Horizons by repeatedly tapping "A". Your character doesn't have any stamina meter, so you can endlessly swim quickly by doing this. Some sea creatures such as the Gigas Giant Clam will require you to swim quickly. You will also need to use methods such as "cornering" in order to catch these fast sea critters. To do so, chase the sea critter into a corner or edge of the map, and let it "bounce" off usually back into the direction of the player.
Yes, Pascal the otter is in Animal Crossing: New Horizons! He is a returning character from previous Animal Crossing games and makes an appearance in the latest game as well.
Pascal is a special character who appears when you catch a scallop while diving in the ocean. After you catch a scallop, he will appear and ask if he can have it. If you give him the scallop, he will reward you with a DIY recipe or a pearl, which can be used to craft special mermaid items.
Pascal is a friendly and laid-back character who enjoys philosophizing and offering words of wisdom. He also has a unique style of speaking that includes using "otter" instead of "other" and "dude" instead of "you," which makes him a fan favorite among Animal Crossing players.
There are a total of 40 sea creatures in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. These include a variety of marine animals, such as sea stars, scallops, octopuses, and crabs, among others. Some sea creatures are only available during certain seasons and times of day, so you will need to keep an eye on your Critterpedia to see which ones are currently available. There are a few useful websites you can keep track of this including Nook's Guides, Animal Crossing Fandom and ACNH: Critterpedia.
