Today is Keaton’s birthday, so I headed up to Eagle Mountain to attend his birthday party. Tia was also there to help him celebrate. I gave him a retro fan that I bought at Nook’s Cranny, and I think it blew him away.
Back outside, I saw a large dragonfly and I chased it around. Once I got to the beach, I caught it! It was my first banded dragonfly!
Crazy Jolly Redd’s ship was in town, and I bought a perfect painting from him. I also bought a beach ball for my beach.
I was standing near that beach ball when I caught my first whale shark. The arrival of June has brought shark season to New Horizons! Yay!
The funny thing is that I didn’t even know that was a shark before I caught it. The shark fins in this game aren’t as obvious as they were in earlier games…especially if fishing to the south (the fin gets lost in their shadow). This is what my whale shark shadow looked like:
If you’re fishing on the east or west coasts, they’re easier to spot. Although, the new suckerfish also has a fin…so it doesn’t always guarantee a shark.
Rizzo the rat was eating ice cream on the beach, and he complained about me banging my shovel on the rocks yesterday! How rude!
Just for that, I planted a pitfall for him. But to my surprise, he stayed there for a while. Apple even joined him, and she also whipped out an ice cream bar. After about four and a half minutes, Rizzo finally got up and pitfall’d himself. 😛
June is also wedding season, and Harvey has a special event on his island, Photopia. Reese and Cyrus can be found there, and they want to re-create photos of their wedding day.
Cyrus made several wedding-themed items, and we can use them (along with anything else in our catalog) to decorate the room. I just used the items he supplied, and then took the picture.
As a reward for helping them out, Reese gave me a wedding bench and some heart crystals. The heart crystals are basically currency that you can use to buy Cyrus’ other wedding items.
Reese asked me to help out again tomorrow. It seems like you can keep helping them each day in June to earn more heart crystals. I’ll probably keep coming back until I’m able to buy all of the items for my catalog.
It was a pretty busy day in New Horizons for me. In total, I had six new catches for the museum: a banded dragonfly, dorado, drone beetle, firefly, suckerfish, and the whale shark. Good luck with your shark and beetle hunting, everyone! See you next time. 🙂
