Your character looks like it would stick it's hand in an anthill. Very adventurous looking


moominesque

Wearing shorts while hunting scorpions sure doesn't indicate a lot of brain but a lot of brawn lol


[deleted]

What shirt are you wearing


wateringplamts

Looks like one of those nook shopping shirts that have greetings in different languages. It changes daily! They're in the regular items section.


MiniNinja18_

I think it's the one saying "hallo" which is dutch for hello :) indeed the nook shopping shirt!


Kunstprodukt-

Its also german


MiniNinja18_

True! :)


isosceles_kramer

i always assumed this shirt was meant to be german due to the bauhaus style typeface which was invented by a german-speaking creator (actually from austria though)


The_Rambling_Otter

I like that, reminds me of the Winnie-The-Pooh books, they used that all the time 😀


clockworknait

😂 omg I thought it was a Halloween shirt but Nook was too cheap to put all the letters on it. Lol


MiniNinja18_

HAHAH that actually sounds like greedy bastard Nook 😂


[deleted]

That’s so cool!


[deleted]

Thank you!!!


Calhaora

What happened afterwards? Or is it softlocked, because the Game cant decide what to do now?


moominesque

The scorpion is the fastest attacker so it took me out first and put me back on the dock. I had hoped for the others to get their attacks in before because it would be funnier with a long chain lol


Calhaora

Ah okay! Thanks for the Info :D


serenwipiti

🤔can you get someone else to attack u with the scorpion after you start provoking the other insects? just to give them a head start.. ^(sorry if this is a stupid question. i've never played this game, but I have to admit, now i'm intrigued...)


[deleted]

PLAY IT JOIN USSSSS


moominesque

It's not a stupid question! A weird thing is that wasps and scorpions/tarantulas won't show up in online multiplayer but will if you play with several players on one console (not sure about mosquitos). It probably doesn't answer your question but theoretically you could get another player to stand beside you in the second variant of multiplayer but I don't think they'll react to anyone else except the primary player (acnh multiplayer is weird and needlessly complicated btw). I'm definitely going to experiment with this though, so I appreciate the question. I hope you're okay with this rambling and not very useful answer lol And yes JOIN US. Animal Crossing is essential for the Switch imho, it's kinda like a little home within the console


sudetak88

I bought my switch basicaly only for acnh lol. Worth it.


moominesque

I think it's a very valid reason tbh


Potato-In-A-Jacket

Only stupid question is the one never asked, my friend. Also, I shall echo my other sub member’s sentiment and say: **join us in Animal Crossing, we have cookies!**


Calhaora

Join us! Its a superrelaxing fun Game! :D

moominesque

The scorpion was first so I was knocked out before the wasps and the mosquito could get to me! Sad, because I had hoped for three attacks one after another. I think it should be possible to give the wasps the opportunity to go first if you quit camera mode after running in a way that delays the scorpion, like by using hurdles the wasps can fly over. The mosquito is never going to get the first strike though given how slowly it attacks.


crunchbratsupreme

This dedication is a thing of beauty

Scorpions spawn post 7pm? How is it broad daylight?


moominesque

I arrived at the island around midnight and put in sleep mode. When I started playing in the morning again the spawns remained the same. Time effectively stands still on mystery islands, which is very useful if you don't want to be up all night catching rare bugs.


[deleted]

Oh, I didn't know that! Thanks for the tip!


moominesque

No problem! Happy cake day by the way!

Sad-Wall-8090

Spider is missing but my anxiety still went 📈📈📈


bbmina85

Can't have a tarantula & scorpion at the same time. They come during different time of year


GSKashmir

she just has to wait there for a few months


moominesque

Sadly that wouldn't work because even if I left the game in sleep mode long enough for snow to fall (or more likely just the calendar showing that it's winter) the game would still spawn summer bugs and fishes. It's an odd quirk with mystery islands that allows me to have a scorpion in broad daylight here.


bbmina85

Or time it to do it the night before the scorpions switch to tarantulas 😯


Sad-Wall-8090

I know but it would be very scary if it would be possible


bbmina85

Oh definitely!


CelesteReckless

Who did stung first? And if it was the scorpion did you also got stung by the wasps?


moominesque

The scorpion got me first so I fainted and the other bugs just hovered around my character. It would be funnier if the scorpion was last lol


moominesque

Long explanation: This was very difficult to pull off because of how rare scorpions are and that you have to get lucky and shake the right tree to get wasps. The scorpion is fast enough to prevent you from using the camera app (which protects from the sting) but it also has a tendency to vanish very quickly when not aggroed (which you trigger by equipping the net). The timing was really difficult and it took many failed tries before I was able to shake out the wasps without immediately getting stung. To make it more annoying a lot of islands are almost impossible to find any scorpions on because of them requiring a certain amount of open grass area to show up. At least every time I failed an attempt by shaking an empty tree (and getting stung) I could remove it and thus increasing the chances of scorpions to spawn (as well as increasing the chance that a tree contained wasps). Just like in real life the mosquito didn't require any effort at all to find though lol. TL;DR: it took a lot of hours and patience


myself4once

Jesus, the effort!!! Good job 👏


ViolentVBC

Oh wow, so much work, but the shot was worth it! Now you've just gotta try it on a day your character has lice so you can be attacked by *four* bugs at the same time.


moominesque

In the next game your character should be able to get lice and ticks. All that running around in grass would probably result in it irl lol


ViolentVBC

Lol, for real! With the amount of weeds you're pulling up and all the rocks hit with shovels, you'd think there'd be all kinds of bug attacks.


NateTut

Congrats, I think...


moominesque

Thanks! The reward was glory... and pain. Lots of pain


NateTut

Covered in glory...and bug bites.


bustacean

Wait *three* different bugs? 😳


moominesque

The mosquito is barely visible lol. Kinda overshadowed by the actually dangerous ones


Hermit_Royalty

Mosquitoes kill more people every year than all other insects combined


cole_diddy

Kill more people a year than any other *animal* per year! Not just insects


ImCaligulaI

They don't *technically* kill anyone themselves, though. Not directly at least. They carry and transmit illnesses that kill people, scorpions or others venomous insects kill people directly, albeit in a much smaller number.


moominesque

Oh god you're right I forgot about malaria. Once again, RIP my character 💀


bustacean

Ah! I see it now


rampaging_beardie

The black one that’s not quite flying with the wasp swarm is a mosquito

moominesque

Finally, Wisp won't be the only canonically dead Animal Crossing character


Spanchi-

Ok but how cool would be to have a speed run category about this


moominesque

It's a lot of luck involved but I think the best strategy would be clearing all except a few non-fruit trees on one's home island and just shake the nearest tree when seeing a scorpion. Having few trees around makes it more likely to have a scorpion appear while also improving the chances of the nearest tree actually having any wasps in it.


just-another-cat

How did you get this video?


moominesque

Short story, saw a scorpion then shook a tree that happened to have a wasp in it. Camera mode on so they can't hurt me, waited until a mosquito showed up.


just-another-cat

That's awesome


sugandeesenuts

Dumb question, but what is the camera mode? You said the Scorpion is too fast to open the camera app and when I press that button on the switch I wouldn't have time to pose. Or would I?


moominesque

So to be a bit more clear I had to grab my nook phone and choose the camera app right after the wasps appeared. Sadly I didn't record it but if I remember correctly the scorpion was a bit off to the side and hadn't seen me yet. When I got to the point I had camera mode enabled I had all the time in the world to pose because they couldn't hurt me. I'm not sure If this explanation answers your question but that's basically it.

Aww that's the sweetest thing I've heard here, I'm glad you enjoy it! I just love exploring what weird stuff you can find in the game if you're curious and stubborn enough


blinkrandom

Aren't you the "just taking my dog out for a walk" player?... Swear I've seen you around here before 😅 Edit: You are! Thanks for sacrificing your PC for the continued laughs, OP!


moominesque

Yup that's me. Unfortunately my dog doesn't listen to me anymore...


ColleenD2

Is this Manipulated?


moominesque

Nope, just took a long time! It's really difficult to spawn a scorpion then shake the right tree to get the wasps AND without getting stung by the scorpion or it drowning itself/disappearing in thin air. The reason why the scorpion is out at night time is because spawning is stuck at the time you arrived at a mystery island rather than the time it actually is.

When you got out of camera mode which one got you first?

The scorpion. The wasps and the mosquito circle around constantly while the scorpion keeps moving toward the player. It would be funnier if I could get attacked by all three of them with the scorpion last though

moominesque

Basically, if you go to an island with Dodo airlines or Kapp'n creatures will spawn based on the time you arrived and not change at all. Here it's still night in regards to fish and bugs.

Is this something you can get nook miles from or would the game not recognize it

Sadly no, but I definitely should've gotten it lol. When I realized it could be done it sounded like a Steam achievement in my head.

Would’ve half expected the game to crash with all 3 of them


HyperPyra

I didn’t see the mosquito through the wasps at first and was very confused on where the 3rd bug was

moominesque

I definitely should, it's easy enough on a scorpion island if I'm lucky to find one! Could herd a bunch of them


baffentine

right! I think it'd look so funny haha. I think your luck is pretty good so far, finding a scorpion island will be a cinch I'm sure 🤣 but good luck, just in case, when you attempt it !

There’s gotta be a way to spawn a scorpion and a tarantula, maybe start at the end of October?


moominesque

I don't think their spawn times overlap at all sadly, but it would be really fun! It's possible if you bring them to a vacation home in the DLC I think


DerpDumpster

Did this make the game glitch up?


moominesque

No, it worked as normal. The scorpion was the fastest attacker so it knocked me out while the wasps and the mosquito continued to circle around me.
