Animal Crossing: New Horizons How To Get Iron Nuggets

Iron Nuggets are a pain in the butt to get when we’re just starting our island life, but that’s nothing a little bit of rock smashing couldn’t solve. First of all, you need to have your fruit stamina at zero, otherwise, you’ll destroy the precious rock; once you find a rock while having no fruit energy, all you have to do is take out your shovel, dig a couple of holes one space after the corner of the rock so you have the chance to hit the rock the 9 times we can, and smash! If the six rocks available on your island aren’t enough, you can always make a trip to mystery islands to gather some extra resources.

Iron Nuggets are essential when we talk about crafting in Animal Crossing; not only do a lot of DIY recipes ask for them, a lot of those DIY recipes are the best to craft for both exteriors and when you’re designing your house’s interior kitchen.
