Get a Rusted Part from the Recycle Box

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.

How to Get Rusted Parts

Rusted Parts will not appear unless you successfully help Gulliver

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.

Get Rusty Parts from Communicator Parts

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.

How to Help Gulliver the Seagull

1. Craft a Shovel in Advance

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.

2. Talk to Gulliver the Seagull Multiple Times to Wake Him Up

After waking Gulliver the Seagull up, he will ask for help with his lost communicator parts. Choose to look for it.

3. Dig Spots on the Beach Where Water Blows Out

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.

The parts will still appear even if Gulliver the Seagull is not there

Even if Gulliver the Seagull is not there, you can still search for the parts on the beach.

4. Give the Five Parts to Gulliver the Seagull

After giving the parts to Gulliver the Seagull, you will receive Nook Miles.

Where to Find Gulliver the Seagull

Passed Out on the Beach

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.

Keep talking to 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.

Check the Title Screen

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.

How to Repeat (Farm) Gulliver Events

Farming Gulliver's Event

1. Find a day where Gulliver appears

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.

2. Gather the Communicator Parts and help Gulliver

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.

3. Save and close the game, change the date to next day

After you've given Gulliver the communicator parts, make sure to save and close the game, then change the date to the next day.

4. Get Gulliver's letter, save and quit

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.

5. Return the date and time to find Gulliver 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.
