Each Gyroid looks and behaves somewhat differently from the other Gyroids in the game, so you will have to experiment a bit in regards to how each Gyroid behaves and responds to certain situations as the game doesn’t outright tell you that much about their personalities and interaction possibilities.
So while most players are happy just naturally uncovering Gyroids as they play, some will want to do everything in their power to acquire Gyroids (or just specific Gyroids) as soon as possible. If you’re a member of the latter camp…well, let’s dive into that topic a bit deeper.
Where Do You Find Gyroids in Animal Crossing: New Horizons?
There are a couple of ways to find Gyroids in Animal Crossing: New Horizons 2.0, and which method you ultimately end up relying on will depend on your luck, patience, and preferences.
The first method involves digging up Gyroid fragments. The easiest way to find Gyroid fragments is to visit the islands that Kapp’n takes you to as part of his touring service. There, you may get lucky and spot an “X” on the ground (it’s the same visual used to identify fossils in the previous version of the game). Dig up the “X” spot, and you should find a Gyroid fragment.
Once you find a Gyroid fragment, go back to your home island and plant it in the ground. Water the spot you buried it in, dig up that spot the next day, and you should find that the fragment has grown into a full Gyroid.
It’s also possible to find full Gyroids on your own island, but they’ll only appear the day after it rains. Even then, there’s no guarantee that any of the “X” spots on your island will have a Gyroid in it, and it seems like you can’t find more than two Gyroids on your island on those given days. It’s not exactly a reliable method, but it does yield complete Gyroids rather than fragments.
