Initiation Seminar, all of Tom Nook's Trials
As soon as you arrive on the island, you will have tasks to perform ! These will be for you entrusted by Tom Nook, and will be relatively simple. You will only have to follow his instructions to succeed, before you can completely go about your business on the island! We give you all our tips for the different tasks below:
Set up your tent on the island
The first thing you're going to have to do when you get to the island is find a pitch for your tent, then install it! The tent will be given to you by Tom Nook, and will be available in your pockets, which you can open with the X key. Select the tent with the A key, and then you can place it! You can also simulate the location, to see what it would look like once installed. Do not hesitate to take a good walk on the island to find the perfect location ! Once done, return to Tom Nook for the rest of the tasks.
Helping residents choose their tent location
You will then need to help the inhabitants, two in number, choose the location of their tent. Go talk to them, and they'll show you the spot they found for their tent. If you like the place, approve what they say, otherwise explain that it's not the ideal place, and they will give you back their tent kit. You can then find another location, in the same way as for your own tent!
Pick up 10 tree branches
Once the tents are placed, Tom Nook will ask you to pick 10 tree branches to make a campfire. These tree branches are available either on the ground near trees or by shaking trees that don't contain fruit! Branches will then fall. To shake a tree, stick to it and press A. Once the 10 tree branches have been collected, return to Tom Nook!
Pick 6 fruits
The next step will be to pick 6 fruits. fruits vary depending on your island, you can very well have oranges or pears for example! Harvesting works like for tree branches, but this time you will only have to find fruit trees. 3 fruits grow in total on each tree, so you will only need two trees to complete the task.
Name the island
You will then be able to move on to a much nicer step: name your island ! Take the time to choose the name, because you will not be able to change it later.
Put down your camping bed
One last thing will be asked of you before you can go to bed! You will have to put your camping bed inside your tent. Putting down the camping bed works just like when you put down your tent. Once it is placed, if the location does not suit you, you will be able to move it. Approach the bed, hold down the A button, and use the joysticks to move it!
You can then go to sleep and save your game!
