How to find Pascal, Pearls, and Mermaid set DIY recipes in New Horizons explained • Eurogamer.net

Pascal is one of the many special visitors, such as Gulliver and Redd, who can visit your island in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

Though, unlike the other visitors, Pascal can only be found out in the sea surrounding your island, which means, if you want to find him, you need to go swimming.

Once you have found Pascal, however, he may give you a DIY recipe for a piece of the Mermaid set.

How to find Pascal in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

To find Pascal in New Horizons you first need to buy a wetsuit, so that you can go swimming.

Once you’re all suited up, head down to the sea and start diving for sea creatures.

The exact creature you’re looking for is a scallop, which, luckily, can be found at any time of day and throughout the year.

When you do eventually find a scallop, there’s a chance that Pascal will appear in the waters nearby and swim over to you. He’ll ask for the Scallop and, in exchange, he’ll give you either DIY recipe for the Mermaid, a pearl or an outfit piece inspired by the Mermaid set.

You can trade a scallop with Pascal once per day, but you might have to find multiple scallops for him to appear. This means that, like Wisp, Pascal can visit your island at the same time as another visitor.

Mermaid set DIY recipes in Animal Crossing: New Horizons explained

In return for a scallop, Pascal will give you a DIY recipe for a piece of the New Horizons’ version of the Mermaid set. This set works well with the Shell furniture set, which you might have already discovered, and can help create a magical, underwater themed, room in your house.

To craft a piece of the Mermaid set, you’ll need to collect both a variety of shells and pearls.

From the off, there’s fish and bugs to catch, flowers and fruit to grow with Leif selling seeds, villagers to add or remove and tools such as the new ladder and vaulting pole to collect.

Once you have settled in, you’ll want to be making as many Bells as possible, start collecting K.K. Slider songs and work on your island star rating, increase your HHA ranking, incorporate Feng Shui into your room design and acquiring kitchen furniture. You can also buy fake art from Redd.

How to find pearls in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

If you want to make anything from the Mermaid set, then your first job is to hunt down some pearls.

Pearls, like sea creatures, can be found by diving. Simply swim over to the nearest set of bubbles and hope that what you find is a pearl. They are, however, very rare, so don’t be surprised if it takes you a while to find one.
