How to Get Across the River in Animal Crossing
When I first started playing Animal Crossing, I was stumped by how to get across the river that blocked my path. I tried jumping, using my axe, and even digging a hole, but nothing worked. Finally, I resorted to asking a friend for help. She told me that I needed to build a bridge, and she showed me how to do it. I was so relieved to finally be able to cross the river and explore the rest of my town.
If you’re new to Animal Crossing, you may also be wondering how to get across the river. Don’t worry, it’s actually pretty easy. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
Building a Bridge
To build a bridge, you will need the following materials:
- 8 logs
- 4 stone
- 4 iron nuggets
Once you have all of the materials, go to the location where you want to build the bridge. Open your inventory and select the “Build a Bridge” option. Then, select the location where you want to place the bridge. You will need to make sure that there is enough space on both sides of the river for the bridge to fit.
Once you have selected the location, the bridge will be built automatically. You can now cross the river using the bridge.
Using a Pole Vault
If you don’t have the materials to build a bridge, you can also use a pole vault to cross the river. To use a pole vault, you will need to have a clear path to the other side of the river. Then, stand at the edge of the river and press the A button to start running. When you reach the end of the path, press the A button again to jump over the river.
Pole vaults can be purchased from Timmy and Tommy at Nook’s Cranny. They cost 500 Bells each.
Swimming
If you don’t have a bridge or a pole vault, you can also swim across the river. However, swimming is not recommended because it is slow and you can drown if you stay in the water for too long. To swim across the river, simply walk into the water and press the A button to start swimming. You can use the left and right analog sticks to control your direction.
Using a Ladder
If you are playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons, you can also use a ladder to cross the river. To use a ladder, you will need to have a clear path to the other side of the river. Then, stand at the edge of the river and press the A button to start climbing the ladder. When you reach the top of the ladder, you can press the A button again to jump over the river.
Ladders can be purchased from Timmy and Tommy at Nook’s Cranny. They cost 1000 Bells each.
