Scorpions and tarantulas are pretty identical in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. If you have a Northern Hemisphere island, you’ll notice that the arrival of new May fish and bugs also marks the departure of tarantulas, which have been replaced with scorpions until October. How you catch scorpions is pretty similar to its eight-legged counterpart. We’ll break it down below.

When Do Scorpions Spawn?

Scorpions spawn on the ground between 7 PM and 4 AM. They will not spawn if you have guests on your island. They can appear on your own island or a deserted island. Like most creatures in New Horizons, scorpions are seasonal, so they will only appear a few months out of the year. Here’s when scorpions spawn, depending on what kind of island you have:

Northern Hemisphere

May, June, July, August, September, October

Southern Hemisphere

November, December, January, February, March, April

How To Catch A Scorpion

Requires: 1x net, shovel (optional)

Catching a scorpion in Animal Crossing: New Horizons is pretty much the same as catching a tarantula. Both creatures are hostile when provoked, which means running too close to them or approaching with your net. Scorpions will enter into a defensive position when they see you and may give chase if you aren’t careful. There are a few ways to approach catching them, which we’ve outlined below.

The Easiest Way To Catch A Scorpion

The easiest and safest way to catch a scorpion just requires a net and some patience. When you see a scorpion, approach it slowly with your net raised. If it sees you, it will immediately enter the defensive position. At this point, stop in your tracks and wait (with your net still raised) until it calms down. Once that happens, start to approach it again. It will enter its defensive position again. You’re going to have to repeat this until you get close enough to use your net on it. You can only take a few steps each time, otherwise the scorpion will give chase. If it catches up to you and stings you, you’ll pass out and wake up in front of your house, or the dock if you’re on a Mystery Tour. You won’t lose anything, but the scorpion you’re trying to catch may not be there when you return, so it can be annoying.

The Safest Way To Catch A Scorpion

If you’re afraid or don’t have the patience for the standard approach to catching scorpions, you can make scorpion “traps” by digging holes with the shovel. Scorpions can’t jump over holes like you can. The trick is to dig four holes all around you, hop out, then engage a scorpion. When it starts to chase you, run back to the holes and jump into the middle. The scorpion won’t be able to reach you, but it will still be within range of your net, so you can safely catch it from the other side of the trench.

The Fossil Glitch

According to the Animal Crossing Wiki, there’s a “glitch” you can exploit involving fossils that may make scorpions easier to catch. If you dig up a fossil in the middle of a chase, the scorpion will “freeze” and eventually wander off. Use this at your own risk–we haven’t verified this trick yet, so it might be patched out. Not only will your timing and aim also have to be flawless, it requires planning ahead to either locate buried fossils or strategically rebury fossils, so we can see this getting tedious even if it still works.

A little patience goes a long way–we recommend the standard method or the trench method to catch scorpions. If you’re feeling extra daring, you can also let the scorpion give chase and, once you get enough distance, turn around and scoop it up with your net, but this requires solid timing.

How To Spawn/Farm Scorpions Or Find Scorpion Island

• Requires: Nets, shovels, axes, ladder, vaulting pole, Nook Miles tickets

If scorpions are anything like tarantulas, you should be able to farm them on deserted islands in the same way you can farm tarantulas. We have not verified how May’s new water bugs like the diving beetle and pondskater (not to mention the giant water bug, which threw tarantula farming off-balance back in April) might affect scorpion spawn rates, but we will update as soon as we do.

The way farming scorpions (and tarantulas) works in Animal Crossing is by manipulating spawn rates by adjusting the conditions that certain bugs spawn. Some bugs require trees and flowers to spawn, while some spawn on the ground or in the air regardless of surroundings. To farm scorpions, you have to force spawn them.

Your first step is to buy a Nook Miles ticket and have several nets, shovels, and axes on hand. You will probably find enough raw materials to craft extra if you run out and you can buy more with Nook Miles tickets while you’re on a Mystery Tour, so don’t fill up your inventory with too many tools.

Next, head to the airport and sign up for a Mystery Tour. (Remember that scorpions only spawn between 7 PM and 4 AM!) You’ll be dropped off at a random deserted island–some will have conditions that are ripe for scorpion farming, while others might be too tricky to deal with. We’ll talk about that more later. Once you’re on the island, you can begin spawning scorpions. You might also get lucky and end up on the rare scorpion island, in which case you won’t have to worry about the next part. Just start catching! (The same goes for tarantula island if you’re on a Southern Hemisphere island.)

How To Spawn Scorpions

To spawn scorpions, you have to clear out the conditions for other bugs to spawn. That means chopping down every tree (watch out for wasps), digging up every tree stump, shattering every rock, and picking every flower. Dump all the raw resources you collect on the beach so that the island is completely barren. If the conditions are right, scorpions should begin to spawn at faster rates than they would otherwise. From there, you can follow our instructions on how to catch a scorpion above to start collecting.

The most effective way to create a scorpion island to farm scorpions is by landing on the rare bamboo island, which is completely flat and contains no freshwater for water bugs to spawn on, but that can only happen by complete chance.

Scorpion Sell Price

Once you’ve caught a scorpion for the first time, it will register in your Critterpedia. You will also want to donate the first scorpion you’ve caught to Blathers at the museum, if you care about that. But if you’re looking to make money, you’re in luck. Scorpions are one of the more valuable bugs in New Horizons. They sell for quite a lot at both Nook’s Cranny and to special visitor Flick, who will buy your bugs at 150% market value.

• Nook’s Cranny price: 8,000 bells each
• Flick price: 12,000 bells each

More Rare Bugs

There are tons of rare bugs in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Some don’t sell for much, but have weird spawn conditions that make them tricky to find. Others might just be hard to catch. If you’re looking to fill up your Critterpedia and your museum and need some help with the tricky ones, check out some of our specialized bug guides below.

Fortnite‘s Travis Scott concert was a huge success and, now, more big-name music acts are about to host their very own gigs in Epic Games’ absurdly successful game. This time it’s Diplo, who will be available to watch in the game’s Party Royale mode. The show is set to begin at 6 PM PT/9 PM ET/2 AM BST. Along with the musical show, the Major Lazer skin pack is on sale for $25.

The Party Royale mode was recently added to Fortnite and is described as a place where developer Epic Games will experiment with experiences. It is being presented as a social space first, which means there’s no building or combat, just hanging out with friends.

“Welcome to Party Royale, a new experimental and evolving space,” Epic said previously. “All chill, no sweat. Leave your weapons and mats behind and hang out with friends, play games, perfect your skydive, and more. The party’s just getting started.”

The Travis Scott concert was huge for Epic Games. Fortnite boasted a record-breaking number of players over its five performances. We expect the social space will be home to plenty more like this, especially as social distancing continues. so if you like live music you may want to download Fortnite.

You can take a look at the contents of the Major Lazer skins pack below.

Our mission to bring you the most wholesome and uplifting content of the week continues with another episode of Good News Gaming. We’ve scoured the internet and put together a little showcase of things happening in the wonderful world of video games.

This week we have an unbelievable achievement from one Guitar Hero 3 player, who has managed to hit every single note on Through the Fire and Flames on expert. That alone is something to be proud of, but this lad did it with the song running at 165% speed–unreal.

In the UK, an initiative is offering games to NHS workers. A variety of developers and publishers are on board, including ZA/UM, Xbox Game Studios, SEGA, Bungie, Deep Silver, and more. If you’re an NHS worker in the UK, click this link and grab a game. And thanks for everything you do.

Next up there’s a Super Nintendo fish tank. We’re going to leave it at that—you really need to see how cool it is for yourself. Top of the wholesome content pile is undoubtedly Elijah Wood visiting a fan’s Animal Crossing island and being incredibly polite–proof that he’s a very good egg.

In other Animal Crossing news, the Centre for Computing History in the UK, sadly, had to shut its doors, but a replica has been constructed in the game for folks to visit. If that doesn’t put a smile on your face, how about the movie Troy but with Age of Empires sound effects? Surely that’ll do the trick.

If not, we’ve got a baby dressed like Fatman from Metal Gear Solid 2, Gabe Newell playing a giant Nintendo DS, and more. Trust us, watch the video, you’ll have a good time.

Note: This article contains spoilers for Final Fantasy 7 Remake and the original FF7, so read on at your own risk if you haven’t finished them!

Even though Final Fantasy 7 Remake has the word “remake” in the title, it’s more of an adaptation of the Midgar portion of the original FF7 story than it is a straight retelling. Because the new game takes some liberties with the old one, it’s full of moments that reimagine elements of the original, while creating new jokes, references, and Easter eggs based on the 1997 game. The result is a game that’s slightly different from what fans remember, but which is lovingly paying homage to a classic.

We’ve compiled a whole host of Easter eggs, references, callbacks, and jokes found in Final Fantasy 7 Remake below, but there are many, many more. Drop your favorites in the comments below.

1. A Nibel of Nibelheim

FF7 Remake brings a few elements from later in the FF7 story to the forefront–like Cloud’s visions. In the original game, as he approaches Reactor 1 to set the bomb, Cloud hears a voice that warns, “Watch out. This isn’t just a reactor.” In the remake, that moment (and a few more) includes flashbacks to Cloud’s younger life in the village of Nibelheim. We also see flashes of him growing up with Tifa and telling her that he’s leaving for SOLDIER, as seen in the original.

2. My Heart’s In Correl

Though you spend a lot of time with Barret in FF7 Remake, the game doesn’t include much information about his background–or that huge gun attached to his arm. There are subtle nods to Barret’s backstory throughout the game, though. When we find the Avalanche leader arguing with Shinra employees on the Sector 7 train in Chapter 2, a version of the Correl Theme, the music from Barret’s hometown, plays in the background. It’s an allusion to Barret’s history with the company and how he lost that hand, something that doesn’t come up until later in the story.

3. Relax And Save

There are no save points in the remake, unlike the original game. You will find handy park benches scattered throughout the game that restore your HP and MP, though. Since they play a similar role, each is adorned with the save point icon from the first FF7.

4. Here’s Johnny!

The dopiest guy in the Midgar Slums, Johnny, is also a character in the original game, although his newer incarnation has better comedic timing. In 1997’s FF7, Johnny and his family lived next door to Tifa’s Seventh Heaven, and they’re dressed in much the same way. In the remake, you can spend a lot of time with Johnny if you want to, and even have some slightly weird conversations with his dad in Wall Market.

5. 32-Bit Seventh Heaven

Look closely on the wall of Tifa’s bar in the remake and you can find a photo of the interior of the same location from the original game, in all its pre-rendered glory.

6. Outfit Change

Complete enough side-quests with Tifa in Chapter 3 and you’ll unlock an event called “Discovery: Alone at Last,” which gives you a special scene with Tifa. Visit her in her apartment and you’ll spot a pair of cowboy boots that look a whole lot like the ones she wore in flashbacks of Nibelheim, both in the original game and in the remake.

7. Princess Understudy

In Chapter 4, you get a chance to visit Jessie’s house, but while everyone else enjoys pizza, Cloud has to sneak in the back. While you’re prowling around, you can find a letter Jessie sent her parents telling them she got cast in a play at the Gold Saucer. Cloud remarks aloud, “Jessie Rasberry as … The Princess?” In the original game, you’d take part in that play when you visited the Gold Saucer, with Yuffie playing Jessie’s role.

8. Reactor Slide

As you work your way through Reactor 5, Tifa suggests sliding down some pipes to reach Mako Storage. It seems like a novel idea (if a dangerous one), but it’s actually a callback to the original game’s Reactor 5 mission, which saw the team sliding down some pipes as well.

9. All In The Timing

Opening the security door in the Sector 5 Reactor has Cloud, Barret, and Tifa all trying to throw levers in time with each other. The moment is a direct nod to a timing minigame in the original in the same section.

10. A Certain Materia

Cloud meets Aerith in the same way as in the original when he plummets through the ceiling of her church and lands in her flower bed. During the encounter, Aerith mentions the Materia she keeps tied in her ribbon. When she brings it up, Cloud has a brief vision of a cutscene from the original game of that same Materia in the City of the Ancients–a hint of plot twists to come.

11. Improvised Weapon

A lot of weapons and items in FF7 Remake also appeared in the original game, but a few appear in a new capacity. The Nail Bat you get in the original is a powerful weapon but with significant drawbacks, including a lack of Materia slots. In the remake, the weapon pops up much earlier, in Sector 5–you earn it from the kids of the Sector 5 Slums, who brandish it on patrols to take on monsters (and who later replace it with wooden Buster Sword knock-offs). But in the remake, the Nail Bat is actually a weapon you can use throughout the game, with Materia slots and perks that make it pretty handy.

12. Lookout Below

Just like in the original, your escape from the church with Aerith involves dropping things from the ceiling on the unsuspecting Shinra troops below, though not in the same gamified fashion this time.

13. Great Minds Mosey

As you leave the Sector 5 church to cross the rooftops with Aerith, she asks, “Should we mosey on over?” This has to be a nod to one of Cloud’s more famous lines in the original: “Let’s mosey.” Cid gives him guff for it, but in the remake, Cloud rolling out the word “mosey” in preparation for a battle would make sense as a callback to Aerith.

14. Sneaky Sneaky

Final Fantasy 7 Remake revamps a number of minor moments and mini-games from the original, like sneaking out of Aerith’s house. In the remake, you need to avoid bumping into objects and making noise that would alert Aerith, while in the original, moving any faster than a walk would cause her to hear your footsteps and come investigate.

15. An Extremely Dangerous Item Shop

Drop by Wall Market and you might be confused by the automated item shop, where you’re supposed to be able to get any item you want–for a fee. When you try to use it, a gun descends from the ceiling and attempts to fire at Cloud. That same “prank” item shop is in the original, and returning to it later in the game is the only way to get Tifa’s ultimate weapon. We’ll have to wait and see if they ever get that wiring fixed in one of the remake’s next entries.

16. Strike A Pose

Most combat encounters wrap up with the team going about their business, maybe engaging in a little banter. That’s not the case in the Corneo Colosseum, where you’ll see your party’s special animations when they’re victorious. Cloud spins his sword over his head, Tifa stretches, Barret throws a fist in the air, and Aerith smooths out her dress–all the victory animations from the original game. And while the victory fanfare music from the original doesn’t usually play in FF7 Remake, Barret often fills in by singing the tune himself.

17. Extreme Makeover: Hell Home Edition

A lot of monsters from the original game wind up with a slightly different twist in the remake. The Hell House was one of the weirder enemies in 1997, and it makes a special return in the remake with a flourish. Given how tough it is to get anything but a ramshackle hut in the slums, it kind of makes sense to catch unsuspecting victims with a killer house. Maybe this was one of Hojo’s robotic creations?

18. Wall-to-Wall References

Just about everything in Wall Market is a callback to the same location in the original game, but even the structure of the side-quests is an homage. Several of them mirror the steps it took to get Cloud dressed up to infiltrate Don Corneo’s mansion. In “The Party Lasts All Night,” you run errands for the local dressmaker–which is what it took to get Cloud a dress in the original. Winning a squat-off at the gym earned Cloud a wig in 1997.

19. Those Are Some Specific Threats

While a lot of the things about meeting Don Corneo have been changed, one thing about it is taken directly from the first game. Tifa, Aerith, and Cloud’s various threats to Don Corneo’s private parts are all lines used in the original’s script.

20. Lost In The Graveyard

In Chapter 11’s Train Graveyard, you’ll face the Ghoul, an all-new boss. But much like the Hell House, there’s a returning foe that’s been revamped–Eligor is another minor enemy encounter from the original that’s gotten the full boss fight treatment.

21. That Was a Very Rude Thing to Do

As Cloud and Tifa climb the Sector 7 pillar in Chapter 12, Reno lines up a shot on Tifa with his helicopter’s minigun. At the last minute, Rude swerves the helicopter, causing Reno to miss the shot. The remake gives no explanation for Rude’s behavior, but we know the reason from the original. During the Gongaga section of FF7, we find out Rude’s been crushing hard on Tifa–enough to save her life.

22. Only Sith Deals In Absolutely Out-Of-Place Cameos

During the Sector 7 plate collapse cutscene, we briefly see a strange cat overlooking the devastation. That would be Cait Sith from the original, a character the remake has only introduced indirectly so far. In the original, the plushy Cait Sith is controlled by Shinra executive Reeve–we get a Cait Sith tease here after seeing Reeve try and fail to stop Shinra’s plan to drop the plate several times from his position on the board.

23. A Kalm Before the Storm

In the original game, depending on how you treated and responded to certain characters, you would wind up on a date with either Barret, Tifa, Aerith, or Yuffie when visiting the Gold Saucer. While you don’t visit the Gold Saucer quite yet in the remake, there’s a much more somber take on the concept in Chapter 14. Depending on your actions throughout the game and how you choose to respond to Aerith and Tifa, you’re treated to a (mostly sad) scene with one of them. Choices that show a cold attitude to both the women land you a scene with Barret.

24. Leslie Knopes On Out of Midgar

Leslie, a brand-new character in the remake, initially warns Cloud, Aerith, and Tifa of the danger that comes with interacting with Don Corneo. Eventually, it’s revealed that Leslie is helping out because he’s looking for revenge against Corneo after Leslie’s fiancee was chosen to be one of his consorts. In the original, the next time in the story you see Don Corneo is if you decide to go visit Wutai. Is that when we’ll see Leslie next, still hunting the slumlord?

25. Fight of the Valkyrie

Chapter 15 sees you ascending the collapsed Sector 7 Plate in the remake, before facing a Shinra weapon called the Valkyrie–a flying machine with dual machine guns and a drill for a butt. In the original, you only battle this machine in the second half of the boss fight against the Arsenal (which shows up in Chapter 17 in the remake). Though it appears out of order, we’re glad the Valkyrie made it back in some form.

26. Stairway to (Seventh) Heaven

Just like in the original, you can either sneak into the upper levels of Shinra HQ by taking the stairs, or, per Barret’s advice, by taking the elevator to go in gun-arms-blazing (and with a lot less cardio). The remake’s elevator ride even features a few battles with Shinra troops like FF7 did in 1997, but the chief difference between the two choices are the dialogue and story moments you get in each one. And there’s no elixir halfway up the stairs this time, unfortunately.

27. I’ll Never Let Go

During the guided tour of Shinra’s history, Barret makes a comment about never trusting Shinra, while looking at his gun-arm. Like the Corel theme back in Chapter 4, this is another allusion to Barret’s backstory and how he wound up using a gun for a prosthetic, which comes up later in the original but hasn’t been covered yet in the Remake.

28. City of Angels

As the characters learn about Shinra’s goals in the Entertainment Hall in Chapter 16, the section covering the Ancients shows a snippet of what could very well be The City of the Ancients, with the architecture resembling the sea shell-like design the location had in the original game.

29. Nanaki, The Big Red Lab-Rat-Dog

When the team encounters Red XIII in Chapter 16, Tifa asks what his real name is, rather than the designation he got from Hojo. Red responds by bowing his head, ashamed he’s become so far removed from his old life. Cloud changes the subject, but if they hadn’t so quickly moved on, Red might have revealed his given name from his hometown in Cosmo Canyon, Nanaki. Enjoy being called “Red” for the rest of the game, ya goof.

30. “Hey, What If We Turned Swordipede Into a Boss Fight”

Yet another enemy found in a random battle has been given a makeover: Swordipede. What was once an enemy that could be taken down with a couple of Lightning spells now takes on all five members of your party in one of the cooler encounters of Chapter 17.

31. A Long Time Ago, In a Promised Land Far, Far Away

In the original game, after rescuing Aerith, Cloud and the gang are captured by Reno and Rude before they can escape Shinra HQ, and are tossed into jail cells. To progress the story, you have to have conversations with Aerith, Tifa, Red XIII, and Barret. Instead for the remake, Cloud awakens in the room where Aerith grew up, and she shares a similar story about her heritage as an Ancient in a nod to the original scene.

32. Answer The PHS

To make it through Hojo’s research laboratory, The Drum, you have to make use of communication machines scattered about with the name PHS written across them. These allow you to switch control between Cloud and Barret in one section of the lab, and Aerith and Tifa in another. In the original, you used the PHS device to swap your party members in and out at save points.

33. Company Man’s Best Friend

Just like the original, Rufus fights Cloud with his faithful companion, Darkstar, when he shows up in Chapter 17. Rufus also exits the fight by grabbing onto a passing helicopter with one hand. Classic, Rufus, am I right? No, literally, it’s classic Rufus.

34. Get Back, Flashback, You Don’t Know Me Like That

At various points, but especially in chapters 16, 17, and 18, your characters receive flashes of the future. In them, you’ll see cutscenes that are taken shot-for-shot from the original game and from the Final Fantasy 7 CGI sequel movie Advent Children, redone in the remake’s engine. For example, one flash shows Meteor plummeting toward Midgar amid a red sky, creating tornadoes in the city. Another shows Red XIII running with two little pups by his side. Still another shows Cloud in a pool of water. You can also briefly catch a glimpse of a scene from the introduction to Advent Children as Cloud leaps towards Sephiroth. Based on the way the game ends, it’s anybody’s guess if these scenes will recur in further FF7 Remake installments.

35. “What a Crew”

At the end of Chapter 17, the team is stopped by Heidegger and a batch of Shinra soldiers, where Barret, Aerith, and Red give a hilarious intro to their identities. The gist of the scene is the same in the original, although the details are slightly different. In the first FF7, it’s Rufus who asks, “By the way, just who are you?” with each member of the party describing themselves in response. It’s one of the first moments that reiterate what a rag-tag team you’ve assembled.

36. “I’ll Admit, You’re Very Skilled”

When Sephiroth drags Cloud to the “Edge of Creation” in Chapter 18, the villain tries to convince Cloud to join him, saying, “Lend me your strength.” Is it just a coincidence that that’s exactly what Sephiroth when you challenge him at the end of Kingdom Hearts II, another game that Tetsuya Nomura directed? In an alternate universe, does Cloud take Sephiroth’s hand and get whisked away to the Radiant Garden, or the Olympic Coliseum searching for Sephiroth across various worlds? Maybe, maybe not. Probably not, but an interesting nod nonetheless!

Lionsgate has postponed the releases of several of their biggest upcoming films, including John Wick: Chapter 4, due to the coronavirus pandemic.

John Wick: Chapter 4, Spiral: From the Book of Saw, and The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard have each been pushed back a year from their original release dates.

The fourth installment of the John Wick action franchise was originally slated to hit theaters on May 21, 2021 but has been pushed back to May 27, 2022.

[widget path=”global/article/imagegallery” parameters=”albumSlug=every-delayed-movie-due-to-coronavirus-so-far&captions=true”]

John Wick 4’s original 2021 release date would have seen it open against The Matrix 4, another highly anticipated sequel starring Keanu Reeves. That sci-fi film’s shooting has been disrupted due to the industrywide shutdown.

The Saw franchise reboot/sequel Spiral was supposed to open this month, but now won’t open until May 21, 2021 (yes, the original release date for John Wick 4).

Meanwhile, Lionsgate has also pushed The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard to August 20, 2021.

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/saw-story-in-5-minutes-sort-of-2020-update”]

The studio also rescheduled their psychological thriller Antebellum to August 21, 2020. The releases of Chaos Walking (January 22, 2021) and Nicolas Cage’s The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (March 19, 2021) are staying put.
