Animal Crossing: New Horizons How To Get Ladder

Updated: 06 Dec 2021 5:33 am
Leo's picture BY: Leonardo Ortíz García


If you’re just starting the game, it’ll take a few days until you’re able to get the ladder DIY recipe from Tom Nook. All you have to do is follow Tom’s instructions until Nook’s Cranny is finally available and some land plots are ready to get new villagers to move into your island!

 

The Ladder is a very important item that you’ll need to go up cliffs without spending a lot of bells in the process, and it’s also essential before you get the ability to terraform your island.
