Today, I want to talk about getting that darn wild painting left half in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Let me tell you, it was a journey!
So, first things first, you gotta get Redd to show up on your island. This shady fox comes to your island randomly, once he’s there, you can find him on that secret beach at the back of the island. I waited for what felt like forever, checking every day. Finally, one morning, I saw his boat docked up there, and I was like, “Yes! Finally!”
Waiting for Redd
- Checked my island every day.
- Finally saw Redd’s boat.
- Got super excited!
I ran up to his boat, all excited to see what art he had. The thing with Redd is, you gotta be careful. He sells fakes, and they’re not always easy to spot, especially when it’s all dark and mysterious in his boat.
Inside Redd’s Boat
- It’s dark and kinda spooky.
- Redd sells real and fake art.
- Gotta be careful not to get scammed!
I knew I wanted that wild painting left half, so I looked it up online to see how to tell if it’s real. Luckily there are some helpful guides from other players and some of them were talking about how to tell real and fake art pieces apart.
Spotting the Fake
- Looked up guides online.
- Learned how to tell real from fake.
- Felt more confident.
When I finally found the wild painting left half in Redd’s boat, I inspected it closely. I compared it to the pictures I found online, looking for any tiny differences. It was tough, but I think I got it right!
I bought the painting, feeling pretty proud of myself. Then came the anxious wait. You gotta donate it to Blathers at the museum to see if it’s real. The next day, I rushed to the museum, donated the painting, and… it was real! I did a little happy dance right there in the museum.
The Moment of Truth
- Donated the painting to Blathers.
- Waited anxiously.
- It was REAL!
- Did a happy dance.
So yeah, that’s how I got the wild painting left half in Animal Crossing. It took some patience, some research, and a bit of luck. But it was totally worth it. Now it’s hanging proudly in my museum, and I smile every time I see it.
Oh! I almost forget one thing. I heard from some other friends that as of the ACNH 2.0 update, you can also buy art from Redd at another location, cool hah?
Hope you have better luck than me and get yours soon!
