The Animal Crossing New Horizons Summer Update is available and there are dozens of deep-sea creatures for you to catch. Like the giant isopod, one of the most difficult sea creatures to extract from the depths of the ocean is the giant clam gigas. Here you will discover how and when to find it, as well as how to catch it so you can stop chasing it.
In order to play in the sea instead of being tickled by the ocean, you must buy a swimsuit. Putting on a fashionable swimsuit will allow you to swim and snorkel, where you can then pick up dozens of sea creatures like scallops. This could be rewarded with a visit from Pascal, owner of DIY mermaid-themed recipes.
But, away from Pascal and his obsession with scallops, below you’ll discover when the giant clam gigas appears in Animal Crossing New Horizons and how to catch it.
When is the giant clam gigas generated in ACNH?
A gigantic giant clam will spawn at all hours of the day at Animal Crossing New Horizons.
However, while active during all hours of the day, a Giant Giant Clam will only breed in the Northern Hemisphere of Animal Crossing New Horizons during the following months:
- May
- June
- July
- August
- September
How to Catch a Giant Giant Clam in Animal Crossing New Horizons
The giant gigas clam is another difficult catch in Animal Crossing New Horizons thanks to its being a fast sea creature.
When trying to catch the giant clam gigas in Animal Crossing New Horizons, its large circular shadow will pull away from you regardless of how fast you swim by pressing the A button.
However, players have managed to pluck it out of the ocean by gradually swimming normally towards a set of bubbles and simply diving when they are on top of the bubbles.
Another method that has proven to be successful in catching the giant clam is to catch it on the fence and in a corner. You can do this by swimming relentlessly afterward.
