keep an eye out for the weather phenomenon Animal Crossing Items during the winter months. In the Northern Hemisphere, the lights can show up any night between Dec. 11 and Feb. 24, according to Game8. Meanwhile, Southern Hemisphere players can catch them from June 11 to Aug. 24.
Narrowing down the timeframe even further, players can only see the Northern Lights after 7 p.m. local time and before sunrise. So, those who play the longest at night will have a greater chance of experiencing the phenomenon. When the Northern Lights do appear, they’ll only stick around for two hours, meaning fans should capture any photos as quickly as possible.When you see the lights dancing across the sky, use the right control stick on the Nintendo Switch to look up at the sky. If you want to snap a photo, use the ZL button to open your NookPhone and select the camera app. This is a great opportunity to get stunning, rare photos with friends, your favorite villagers, and your favorite island hangouts.
Beyond the lights in the sky, nothing special really happens LOLGA.COM in Animal Crossing: New Horizons when Auroras appear. However, you’ll likely find several villagers hanging around Resident Services and looking at the sky. You can talk to them to hear some rare dialogue about the Northern Lights.
