The day after you help Gulliver, there will always be a Rusted Part waiting in the Recycle Box. Be sure to grab it, as the Rusted Part is used in the Robot Hero DIY item.
Even if you talk to Gulliver and agree to help him, if you do not give back the communicator parts to Gulliver within the day, you will not find a Rusted Part in the Recycle Box the next day.
If you collect the 5 communicator parts and do not return them to Gulliver, the next day those items will turn into Rusted Parts.
If you want to collect Rusted Parts fast, you can sacrifice helping Gulliver and take the parts for your own instead.
You can get Nook Miles from completing the stages on the "Gulliver's Travails" activity.

Nook Mileage Program Activities & Rewards List
1 | Craft a shovel. |
---|---|
2 | Wake Gulliver the Seagull up and offer to help him look for his communicator parts. |
3 | Dig up spots on the beach where water blows out. |
4 | Give the five communicator parts to Gulliver. |
To help Gulliver the Seagull, you need to have a Shovel available. You will be digging on the beach so be sure to have one ready.
After waking Gulliver the Seagull up, he will ask for help with his lost communicator parts. Choose to look for it.
You can find the parts on the beach where Gulliver the Seagull is. Keep your eyes peeled on the sand for spots with water shooting out.
Even if Gulliver the Seagull is not there, you can still search for the parts on the beach.
After giving the parts to Gulliver the Seagull, you will receive Nook Miles.
Like previous games, you can find Gulliver passed out on your island's beach. Frequent visits to the beach will increase the chances of seeing him.
The first time you talk to him, he will be talking in his sleep, so keep pressing the A button and talk to him until he wakes up.
If you want to check if Gulliver is in your town before starting the game, you can check the title screen. He'll sometimes be shown on the screen if he is currently on your island's beach.
Fastest Way to Get the Golden Shovel | |
---|---|
1 | Find a day where Gulliver appears. |
2 | Gather the Communicator Parts and help Gulliver. |
3 | Save and close the game, change the date to next day. |
4 | Get Gulliver's letter, save and quit. |
5 | Return the date and time to find Gulliver again. |
6 | Repeat from step 2. |
Days Gulliver Appear | ・2020/01/03 ・2020/03/19 ・2020/04/19 |
---|
Note: These are the days we came across Gulliver.
First you have to find a date where Gulliver appears. It seems like the date Gulliver appears might be different for Southern and Northern Hemispehere. Our first 2 dates are based from gameplays on the Southern Hemispehere and the last is based on gameplay from the Northern Hemisphere.
Like when you come across him normally, talk to him and find his communicator parts to clear his event. If the time goes past 5:00 AM, Gulliver will disappear and you'll become unable to clear the event, so try to make sure you have plenty of time when changing the dates.
After you've given Gulliver the communicator parts, make sure to save and close the game, then change the date to the next day.
After changing the date, open the game once more to find Gulliver's letter in your mail box. Once you've received the letter and the present, save and close the game again.
After closing the game again, go back to the Switch settings and change the date back to the day your found Gulliver (the day before). He will appear once again and you can do his event over from the beginning. Repeating these steps is the fastest way to farm Gulliver's events.

While it isn’t possible to help Gullivar on a friend’s island, if you have multiple residents living on the same island, they can each help Gullivar, and subsequently each receive a gift in the mail the next day. Unfortunately it will still only reward one rusty part, but it’s a great way to farm for specific rewards, especially if you’d prefer to not time travel.
