Introduction
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a fun and relaxing game where you can build your own island and interact with cute animal characters. However, sometimes you’ll encounter some creepy crawlies like spiders. Don’t worry, catching them can be easy if you know the right techniques.
Step 1: Find a Spider
Spiders can appear anywhere on your island, but they are more commonly found in trees during the night. You’ll know when a spider is nearby because you’ll hear a strange rustling sound.
Step 2: Get Your Net Ready
Once you’ve located the spider, equip your net by pressing and holding the A button. Make sure you’re standing near the spider, but not too close because they’ll run away if they sense you.
Step 3: Time Your Swing
When you’re ready, swing your net by releasing the A button. It’s important to time your swing correctly because spiders move quickly. You can also hold down the A button to aim your net before swinging.
Step 4: Avoid Getting Bitten
If you miss the spider, it will likely attack you. Spiders can give you a nasty bite which will cause your character to faint. To avoid getting bitten, make sure you’re not too close to the spider and time your swing carefully.
Step 5: Sell or Donate Your Spider
Congratulations! You’ve caught a spider. You can now sell it to Timmy and Tommy at Nook’s Cranny for a decent amount of bells. Alternatively, you can donate it to the museum to complete your insect collection.
Tips for Catching Spiders
– Spiders are easier to catch during the night because they are more active. – Wear headphones to hear the rustling sound more clearly. – Use the camera to get a better view of the spider’s location. – Practice your timing by catching other bugs like butterflies.
Conclusion
Catching spiders in Animal Crossing: New Horizons can be a bit scary, but it’s a fun and rewarding experience. Remember to stay calm, time your swings carefully, and avoid getting bitten. With these tips, you’ll be a spider-catching pro in no time!
