The Suspicious Cauldron provides a nice bit of spooky ambiance to any home, whether it’s the player’s or an ideal getaway built for a villager. While players who enjoy horror or magical aesthetics have likely been pleased with its addition in the 2.0 update ofAnimal Crossing: New Horizons, it turns out that villagers have an opinion on the item, too, as discovered by a fan designing a home for Celeste.
Celeste, the star-obsessedAnimal Crossingowl, took Redditor Musicfanatic75 by surprise when she suddenly responded to the Suspicious Cauldron. After being placed near it, Celeste’s eyes get big and she appears to enter a trance-like state, waving her wings around and rocking from side to side. Eagle-eyed fans may recognize this as the Haunt reaction, which is typically only seen whenAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsgets creepyfor the Halloween holiday.
It seems that villagers respond directly to spooky items like these being placed in homes in theHappy Home Paradise DLCthat launched alongside the 2.0 update. The release of this DLC lets players build ideal homes for villagers, with Celeste being one that players can choose from if they have her amiibo. However, for those who can’t call upon Celeste, other users in the comments mentioned seeing similar reactions from other villagers, so it isn’t a unique reaction just for her.
Animal Crossing: New Horizonsis full of cute and surprising easter eggs like these. The attention its developers paid to the little details help the game to feel more alive and continue to charm and impress its players, even when they’ve already put hundreds of hours into the title. WhileAnimal Crossing: New Horizonshas seen its final major update to the title, there’s still plenty to keep fans occupied, whether they want to build a spooky home for their local villager or buildperfect recreations ofStardew Valleyand other famous locales.
