How to Catch Critters
Your adventure begins by meeting a unique character—Death—early in Spring. Head to the graveyard to obtain the bug net from him, which is crucial for critter hunting. He appears while on holiday in town and provides guidance about capturing floating souls known as Soul Blobs, offering rewards as you catch them.
Once you have the net, it’s all about strategy. You’ll need patience and a good sense of timing, as critters vary in speed. Some can be easily caught, but others require a stealthy approach. Always consider their spawning conditions as you explore different areas of Moonlight Peaks.
Caught critters can be profitably sold or donated to the museum to help expand Jada’s collection. This progress contributes to the museum and enhances the player experience as the exhibits fill up with the critters you've gathered.
With this grasp of the critter dynamics in Moonlight Peaks, players can immerse themselves in a rewarding collection journey that enhances the game’s exploration aspects.
