Bug Heaven Tips and Tricks
Video Walkthrough for Bug Wrangler Mode
Use Button-Only Controls
It is recommended to use button-only controls when playing Bug Heaven. Using these controls allows you to quickly catch the bugs and finish the minigame in under two minutes.
Using the motion controls may cause unintentional movements, such as swinging down the net at a wrong angle, making the minigame more difficult.
How to Use Button and Motion Controls
Use the Big Bug Net
Before starting the minigame, it is recommended to upgrade the Bug Net into the Big Bug Net. The upgrade comes in handy as it has a larger net, making it easy to catch bugs!
Plan Your Run
The bugs that you need to catch in the minigame are predetermined, so you only need to plan your run and catch the required bugs as fast as possible.
See the section below to learn how to complete the Bug Wrangler mode for Bug Heaven. Note that this is the same mode played during the Beddle's Missing Beetle side quest.
