‘Animal Crossing: New Horizons’ Gulliver Guide – Find Communicator Parts & Wake Him Up

Animal Crossing: New Horizons continues to unfold for new players each day, and a common early-game occurrence is the arrival of Gulliver, the seaworthy seagull who loves nautical puns. In this guide, we’ll discuss the basics of his quest including waking him up and helping him find his Communicator Parts.

How to Wake Up Gulliver

At random, Gulliver will appear on the shores of one of your beaches with his face down in the sand. To wake him up and start his quest, all you have to do is keep talking to him until he regains consciousness. The game will let you walk away, but just keep going back and talking.

Eventually he’ll mention his Handy-Dandy Communicator and discover it’s broken. At that point it’s up to you to help him find five Communicator Parts so he can call home.

How to find Gulliver Communicator Parts

Because every Villager in Animal Crossing: New Horizons has a randomized island with a unique design, it’s technically impossible to pinpoint specific locations for each of the five Communicator Parts. That being said, Nintendo has made things a bit easier by giving players a pretty solid clue of where to look. In other words, there’s no need to drive yourself crazy digging up multiple coastlines to get the job done.

Around the shores of the island, you may notice little dots in the sand that look like this. They stick out like a sore thumb because they squirt tiny spouts of water. When you dig them up with a Shovel as they appear, they typically offer up a Manilla Clam. However, when this quest is active, there’s a pretty good chance you’ll find a Communicator Part instead. Just repeat this process five times and then return to the Gulliver spawn.

When you talk to him with all parts collected, he’ll thank you and promise to send a gift soon. Generally you’ll get some kind of rare item delivered to your mailbox for your efforts. That’s all you need to know about helping Gulliver in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
