Oh, ya talkin’ ’bout the mystic statue in Animal Crossing? Well, lemme tell ya, it’s a fancy lil’ piece, real mysterious-like. In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, ya know, they brought this statue out with one of them updates. Folks say it’s got that old-timey look, like it’s real special or somethin’. But you gotta be careful, ’cause sometimes these statues are fake, ya know?
Now, if yer wonderin’ how ya get yer hands on one, listen here. First off, ya gotta wait fer ol’ Redd to come by yer island. He’s a sneaky one, sellin’ all kinds of art. Some of it’s real, but lotta times it’s a fake. So, ya gotta look close-like, study the statue. Now, I ain’t no art expert, but I’ll tell ya, lookin’ at it real good can save ya a lotta trouble. This statue, they call it a “mystic statue,” but it’s actually based on a real fancy sculpture in the world. Folks call it the “Bust of Nefertiti”, an ancient queen from Egypt, I hear. Fancy stuff, huh?

When ya place this statue in yer museum, oh, Blathers the owl, he gets real excited. Loves them arts and fossils, he does. But make sure it’s the real one, or he won’t accept it! Ya know, if ya bring him a fake, he just won’t have it. Now lemme tell ya how to spot a real one, alright?
How to tell if the Mystic Statue is Real or Fake
- Real Statue: The real one, she’s got a lil’ kinda headband on her forehead, looks natural and all.
- Fake Statue: Now, if it’s got some kinda earring, big and dangly on her ear, well, that’s a dead giveaway it’s fake.
Ya gotta have an eye fer detail, but even if ya don’t, a few tries and you’ll get the hang of it. This statue’s not just fer lookin’ at, though. If ya place it outside, gives a mystical vibe to yer island, makes folks think yer a bit classy, ya know? Some folks say puttin’ statues around brings good luck too! I dunno ’bout that, but sure looks nice by the river or the plaza.
Anyways, once ya buy it, ya can’t give it back to ol’ Redd, so be careful spendin’ yer Bells. And Bells don’t grow on trees, ya know, ‘cept those money trees, but even they don’t come ‘round every day! So, if ya end up with a fake, well, ya could still put it out on yer island, maybe in a hidden corner. Could fool some folks, who knows?
Where to Place the Mystic Statue on Your Island
Now, where ya put it, that’s up to you, but here’s some ideas fer makin’ it look real nice:
- Near the River: Statues by water look real peaceful-like, gives yer island a touch of class.
- In the Plaza: Show it off to the neighbors. They’ll think ya got somethin’ special, they will.
- Hidden in the Forest: Makes it look like ya got secrets, adds a bit of mystery. Might make folks curious to explore.
So, that’s about all ya need to know about the mystic statue in Animal Crossing. Whether ya put it in the museum or keep it as a decoration, it’s a nice touch to yer collection. Just watch out fer that ol’ trickster Redd, ‘cause he’ll sell ya a fake in a heartbeat if ya let him! Happy decoratin’ now, and may yer island always look fancy!
