How to find Pitfall Seeds In Animal Crossing: New Horizon

To get pitfall seeds in Animal Crossing New Horizon, you will first need to obtain the DIY recipe from the following ways listed below.

  • Balloons: You can sometimes obtain the recipe from gift balloons floating in the sky; you will need to get a slingshot before you can get the gift attached to these balloons. 
  • Bottles: Along with other items, bottles on the beach can sometimes give you the recipe.
  • Villagers: Some of the Island residents, like Kid Cat, might at some point give you the recipe. 

After you get the pitfall seed DIY recipe, you can craft pitfall seeds with four clumps of wood and six tree branches. If you are not sure how to get either of these resources, you can get both from trees.
