re: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Official Thread (March 20)

I think I caught exactly one tuna ever... But thankfully I don't have to wait to max out critterpedia... Time to go catch a new fish I guess

I think of all the fish species available in April we only didn’t catch the golden trout. Although they are still around this month, so have some time yet.

I wonder if scorpions are the same as tarantulas as far as catching them?

They are. I cleared a mystery island and I caught four this morning in case Flick was in town.

I got tarantula island last night around 10. I have 38 tarantulas just chilling in my basement waiting for Flick to show up

I've done Nook's travel pass like 30 times and still have yet to go to tarantula island.

Same. I’ve only been playing about a week or so. I’ve done travel pass about 15-20 times. Never had a tarantula island. I was bummed out cause I thought last night was finally gonna be the night.

Only tarantula I ever snagged was randomly roaming around my island one night (ironically it was after I returned from a hopeful tarantula island visit )

As far as big sport fish, I’ve caught 100% of mine on random travel pass islands (and never used any bait):
3 marlin
4 oarfish
1 tuna
2 golden trout (both last night from the same island)
~6 barreleye

I’ve never caught any of these from my island.

I did it over 50 before I got my first one.

You think catching tarantulas is easy, and then you end up on an island where there's four at a time and you can't catch more than three without getting knocked out. ?

---

This was almost my exact same experience too. You get pretty bold around them nasty fricks after a while.

The key is to partition the island with holes. Tarantulas can't jump the gaps so you can net them easy even if they're POed.

But I guess us northerners won't be seeing them again for a while. Excited to get my butt kicked by a few scorpions soon

How was the May Day Maze island supposed to work?

Only one orange and I couldn’t advance at all.

---

You have to eat the orange to dig up the tree. Then use the rest of the fruit to destroy rocks, pick up materials, build an axe and make it to the other side. There's a small reward when you reach the other end. Nothing major.

There isn't enough fruit to collect all of the tickets so you have to pick which one you want.

Someone here can hook you up with oranges don't worry about that. I'll have to check if I have any on my trees and I give you some

It’s raining on our island and I just caught a Coelacanth off of our pier.

Gonna go open a bottle of wine to celebrate this occasion.

So this game is very addicting. I will have to add some of you baws on here. I didn't know what to call my island, and I thought Paradise was too cliche, so it's called Paradis, LA

Also, was there always a derpy little music sequence whenever you talked to characters before the update? I usually almost lose it whenever I talk to Orville now. I don't know how I never noticed this before.

This game was well done. I'm objectively hard to impress, and this game keeps me playing.
