Animal Crossing: New Horizons added 40 new sea creatures in Part XNUMX of the Summer Update. While fish and insects have changed with the season, new sea creatures are not part of the typical gathering process. They can only be caught while diving.
While swimming, sea creatures are indicated by their bubbles. The trail of bubbles leads to a shadow under the water. Diving underwater will surprise the shadow, and depending on the creature, it can escape at different speeds.
The vampire squid is a rare creature that appears in the deep ocean. To catch one, the player must update to version 1.3.0. If you haven't already, it's free, so don't worry. After the update, get the Nook's Cranny wetsuit. There are other designs from the Nook Shopping catalog, but these take an extra day to reach you. Unless you skip the time in the Switch menu. It's up to you.
The vampire squid only appears from May to August in the northern hemisphere and from November to February in the southern hemisphere. It will recur during the day from 9 a.m. to 16 p.m.
If you are in the right amount of time, jump into the water and swim until you see bubbles. Dive in and try to catch the creature. The Shadow Vampire Squid will be quick and difficult to catch, but it is possible.
It is a rare creature even during rush hour. You will need more than a little luck to catch one. It's worth catching the Blathers Museum on your own, but if you're lucky enough to catch more than one it's worth 10000 bells.
