Who is Spirideo? What can it do?

This character is a ghost that roams the island of Animal Crossing: New Horizons. However, it has a peculiarity: Spirideo is in fact frightened by the ghosts themselves! As soon as you meet him he will be frightened because he will be convinced that you are, losing fragments of his spirit.

It will be up to you to bring them back to him and, once done, he will reward you by giving you an item. These gifts can be very useful for your collection in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, so it will be good to help him whenever you meet him.

How to meet Spirideo?

Unlike previous chapters, Spirideo's visits will be quite frequent, but equally random: it will appear in fact on completely random days after sunset (so after 18pm).

Even the place where you will find it will be random, so it will be good that you explore your island well in the evening to be sure not to miss its appearance.

A very handy trick to know if Spirideo is on the island is to talk to the other inhabitants: if he is present, they will tell you that they feel a strange presence.

The fragments of his spirit and the rewards

Whenever you talk to him, the five fragments of his spirit will scatter to random locations on the map. To acciuf them, you will have to use the screen, almost as if they were insects. Keep in mind that, even if very slowly, they can move, so don't let them escape!

Once you have brought back all its fragments, Spirideo will reward you with an item. You can choose between "something expensive" and "something new". It is good to note that he will alert you when you talk to him which item he has in store for you at that moment, in between furniture, clothing, walls and floors.

If you want to choose "something expensive", keep in mind that Spirideo he cannot assess the price of objects well, so it is possible that it will give you something that is worth as little as something very expensive.

Instead, by choosing “something new“, you will always get an item that you have not yet unlocked in your catalog.

To make the most of it, choose according to your desire to risk between something casual or something guaranteed. If you are missing a few items in the catalog, however, it is always better to choose “something new“.
