I Got Every Golden Tool as Fast as Possible in Animal Crossing New Horizons! 

Come watch live: twitch.tv/Dagnel

I don't think I'll ever get the shovel. I lost patience with Gulliver and his drinking problem long ago

Dagnel: *worries about long form content being daunting to watch* Me: *watching the museum completion video for the 5th time* 👀

As someone who can't catch the streams, watching these and hearing the snippets of your conversations are one of my favorite parts. "Legally we have to hate Wawa."

A tip for 5 star ratings: placing custom designs as clothes on mannequins counts as "furniture" and if you just place them incrementally across your island, it'll make your rating skyrocket

As an enby gamer myself, 7:00 made me laugh. I'm actually really pleased Animal Crossing calls it "style" and not gender, which is really progressive for Nintendo

Considering I’ve been playing this game for nearly two years (I’ve had a bunch of islands) and I’ve never gotten a golden tool I’m excited for this

It’s also really neat that even though the challenges are all somewhat familiar you’re still able to make it entertaining and even teach us something! Also really appreciate the breaks you put in the longer videos! Great work again!

makes me wonder how insane that 27 hour run must be

The dagnelondeforestation part was so wholesome omg and it redirects to the EPA 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

9:17 Bea and Pashmina having a staring contest with the nearby tarantula while Biff dances, unbothered:

I love love love how you include a bunch of stuff in these videos that isn't strictly related to the challenge at hand. Like the goofball's comment in chat, getting the cyber shades, and the sheetz > wawa moment. Good laughs in between the (also very interesting and entertaining) informative strategy talk! (PS western PA sheetz gang rise up)

I know it's super weird to comment something heartfelt on a video like this but you seem like such a lovely person. Even though your videos seem to be driving you insane, i find them super comforting- you have such a nice energy.

7:00 damn you heard it here first folks, men can’t have hair 😔

If you are a true masochist, then I have a good challenge idea for you: See how fast you can get every single Nook miles goal. Edit: Yes I am aware that he has done the first of every nook miles goal. Please stop telling me about the video. This comment was made before he made that video.

Years ago on my original Animal Crossing Gamecube file the guppy was the last fish I needed to get the golden fishing rod. I kept that guppy in my house as an honored guest.

That dude in the chat would HATE me. My male character rocks a skirt and everything.

I haven't even got my first golden tool yet, and you're speedrunning it!

Incredibly late suggestions for a video, that have both probably been suggested a few times to you: - How fast can you obtain all 10 of your villagers' pictures? -How fast can you get an island made up of entirely one characteristic. That could be an island of all one type of animal, so an island of 10 cat villagers or 10 bears. Or you can do an island of only one personality type. Sorry if these have been done or suggested before!

This reminds of when I realized I got all the golden tools except the shovel back in March 2021. I started playing May 2020, and got the gold net and gold rod by December. So I deduced that a person could reasonably get the majority of the golden tools in one year or less than a year based on when they start. The golden watering can isn’t exactly time sensitive and can be achieved whenever, same with the axe and slingshot. Then I looked up the requirements of the golden shovel and then started “doing math” on how long it would take to get the golden shovel if a person played the game a little bit every day and don’t do any time traveling to cheat the system, And my calculations were based on a “best case scenario.” Since you gotta help Gulliver 30 times, Best case scenario, every 2 weeks Gulliver shows up on the beach and his arrival days never coincide with any special events or holidays. With 52 weeks in a Gregorian calendar year, that means best case scenario you will only be able to help Gulliver 26 times in a year. So the last four times come out to 8 weeks, which is, Like, 2-3 more months. Which means that unlike the other golden tools that can be acquired within a calendar year, even less if you’re lucky, but the shovel would take the most amount of time. And that’s the best case scenario. Taking any variables into account means that it could take maybe a year and a half or more technically making it the hardest golden tool to get if you’re just some casual player.

Video idea for you: how long it'll take to buy one of every item in the nook miles store. I'm not talking about the yellow background store, but rather the blue background list. No need to worry about different color variations, just one of each item.

the deforestation bit was genuinely one of the funniest bits i’ve seen in a while. i’m unsure if that’s a testimate to Dagnel’s power or a showcase of my broken humor.

I have a challenge for you: look how long it takes to meet every villager in the game.

This dude is the only animal crossing content creator I’ve seen that is comfortable cussing while playing this wholesome game. Noice. 🤣

Proud to say I watched all your golden tools streams and even your editing stream, it's so much fun being here for the entirety of the challenge before these videos come out for once

The ABSOLUTE dedication to making these challenge videos is crazy! Nice work!!!

YES another long video i can watch while playing Animal Crossing!! I know they take lots of effort but wow is it rewarding

I'm trying to think of a challenge you haven't done. What about villager photos? Speed run how long it takes to get your first 10 villager photos.

I have yet to get golden net, rod and shovel but as far as I know, finding gulliver and catching all the fish/bugs will be the tedious part

the way this man dedicates his time to bring such good content to us , gotta love it

man i wonder what that commenter is going to do when they find out the male characters can wear dresses too LMAOOO

Gotta say, I really love the water and stretch breaks in your videos. Thanks :D

Man, the easy ones have to be the golden watering can, slingshot and axe. Getting the net and fishing rod... eh... those will take me longer, since I don't do time travel.

Holy… He actually did it.

Challege idea: Get a villager photo as fast as possible

every time i watch these videos i deelop the toxic trait of thinking its easy and i scoot my ass on to my island thinking ofcourse i can complete my museum and get all the gold tools. then after an hour i lose my mind and give up.

honestly you should've gotten a DA before deleting the island so we could see the pure chaos this island is in. Also that great white shark was about to become your villain origin story lol

This was so much fun to watch!! I still need a couple but I'm not in any hurry to get them. Yet. At some point when I've exhausted all the other collections I somehow got myself into, I'll complete that, but I fear that when I do, I'll not want to play anymore.

Your content is golden (No pun intended) ;D I liked the pause you had with "relax, stretch and grab some water"

i watched you stream on twitch for the flower challenge and was entertained the whole time! you have a really great energy that, even if you're doing something mundane and "boring", is very infectious :)

Yikes. I'm still working on some of the golden tools. This is insane. I respect the insanity you went though doing this 🙃👍

I love these speedrun/challenge videos! You manage to cram hours of content into ~30-40 minutes of a video, yet it never feels rushed. Great job! (Also I like the Population Growing Music, I love that game's soundtrack)

I was trying to think of a challenge called the Midas challenge where you get basically everything with gold in the name, but I imagine the rng of getting different gold furniture crafting recipes makes this too unreliable.

Great video! I really enjoyed it. I can't stop thinking about how I have almost 1000 hours in this game, and similar amounts in NL and didn't know about the fish blindness scale. Thank you so much for bringing that to my attention! I think instinctively I knew that this was a factor but knowing its a legit mechanic adds a lot. You're kinda making me want to complete the critterpedia on one of my alt character saves, which is a very dangerous slope for me to be on hahaha

I had no idea that the vision score was a thing! I swore some saw the bobber better than others but now I know

The fact that the dagnelondeforestation actually works 😂😂

I could watch these videos all day! You do an amazing job with the editing and it makes it really easy and engaging to watch. Plus the music is very relaxing XD I just started playing animal crossing this past august and these videos have been blowing my mind!

i just started watching you yesterday and i have to say that the half-video recommended break is so nice! A kind gesture to let your viewers ground (and avoid binge-watching) and chill out! Extremely nice touch. I suspect you are a real good human

I really appreciate the little pauses on long videos like these. Normally I never pause a video just to stretch or grab some water, so a little reminder every now and then is nice. Also, doing stuff like making food or cleaning up is quite boring without some background noise, so long videos like this one (and other challenges you've done) are nice to just listen to. Thanks for the great content that you make, Dagnel. Here's to lots more

Great video! Love your content in general, and this is something I only accomplished with some grinding myself, so it's very interesting to see you "optimize" it, so to speak!

Thank you for the beetle catching tip. I've been playing since the day of release and still haven't caught the rarest beetles and I just now managed to catch a scarab using your method. I'll binge your other videos as I stake out for the other beetles. Thank you!

The immediate repulse to Olaf is just hilarious 😂

I love these longer videos! They make for a perfect thing to put on while I’m doing dishes or folding laundry!

awesome video! u always manage to keep us entertained long videos of seemingly mundane tasks

7:00 hehe this is what made me subscribe to you. I’m glad you stood up to this(?) since most RU-vidrs I’ve watched would agree

These videos are always so fun to watch and have helped my burnout with acnh and taught me so much on how to get everything in acnh so thank you! Also you are hilarious I always have fun popping into the streams and listening to the random conversations

what a great video again, also i find your animal crossing speedruns very rewatchable! i came back to the flower and museum run at least 3 times, same with this one over the course of the next months. Keep it up dude!

I love that the sky eggs are just.. everywhere

I think Gulliver needs to attend an AA meeting

me: still hasn’t caught a great white even tho i’ve played for 500 hours this man who just started a new island: *great white shark intensifies*

I loved watching your full museum video and I was so excited when I saw this pop up on my home page! Your longer videos make for great background noise while I shiny hunt 💕

I think for an interesting, different type of challenge you could see how quickly you can get all of the Reactions. It requires all of the personalities with certain friendship levels, etc. After you do the Nook Miles goals you can try and do that :)

Your challenges are so so fun ❤️ I have no idea how you edit all this footage and do the challenge but thank you so so much for all your hard work and endurance!!! Your twitch streams are always so fun too 💕

This video is the only thing keeping me going while working. Love the long videos and fun challenges. Thank you!

I thought I was done playing this game but you've inspired me to try and complete my critterpedia

i love these types of videos! they are so entertaining and interesting on how the game works! keep it up! :D

22:01 wow I never even knew this was a purposeful mechanic. Thank you for the vision score info!

Thank you for this video! I didn’t actually know how to get the golden tools so this was a good tutorial+entertainment! Thank you for all of the videos!

I didn't even know golden tools existed, and now he has all of them

you should try getting the top 10 villagers on one of those ranking lists as fast as possible (w/o amiibo or nookazon)

I’ve been binge watching your speed run videos and let me just say, the little break during the videos telling us to go and take a break always make me happy !

looking at your island without snow makes me so jealous

Loved this video Dagnel and really enjoying all your content! Keep it up 😊👍

I love these videos so much , thanks as always for all the hard work Dagnel !

restarted my island after a 2-year hiatus and i chanced upon this vid, this was really fun to watch! had a good chuckle at how you responded to the dumb comment and learnt something new - wrt the vision thing. subbed and off to watch the museum completion vid next! looking forward to your other challenges!

18:01 wait there are ants in the game??? Ok did not know this!

the people that keep suggesting an all nook miles achievement speedrun are actually insane and haven't thought about the mental anguish it would cause dag, it wouldn't be fun to watch at all

It’s always a good day when dagnel uploads 😎

Another great video, Dagnel! It was great to catch your "Behind the Streams" editing stream.

Dagnel, your videos give me so much luck😂 the third gigas giant clam in less then 12 hours (without actively searching for it!!) While i watched you get golden tools. I also got a flea yesterday while watching a video of yours (the one with the please wake up thingy) so thank you for the unreal luck I had since watching your content!

You can speed up breaking your axes by getting a certain prediction from Katrina that will make your tools break more quickly.

I’m really enjoying your videos, super chill and well edited 💚

26:10 I appreciate that Darnell puts a reminder to stretch because my posture is so bad that my inevitable future chiropractor would need a chiropractor. Thanks for the reminder.

i have been watching the acnh challenge videos playlist for like a week straight i cant stop theyre so entertaining

It’s like Christmas when Dagnel posts!! Yaya!

I know this sounds very tedious but, can you try to pay off your debt with nook miles by using bell vouchers? And also, great video!

also 10/10 video, i enjoy the long content and the way you edit it! it’s really fun to listen to while i play

Yes!!! Another long challenge video!! I love these types of videos from you. The next one you should do is collect all of the bug and fish models! I think that would be pretty cool and fun! Keep up the great content! :)

Originally from Central PA, currently in Eastern PA. Sheetz is FAR superior, full stop.

YESSS can't wait for the premiere!

your the only person I can watch for over 30 minutes without changing the video, your videos are crazily entertaining!

Love your stuff! Would even love more general gameplay or a VOD channel!

The chat losing it when you caught the flea was hilarious 😆

ok im so happy tho that things aren't restricted to gender. I'm genderqueer so I want to get my grubby trans hands on all the gender presentation possibilities lmao

Dagnel no joke your long animal crossing videos have become amazing comfort videos and background sound for me. I watch them at least once a month

Yessssssss this is what I've been waiting for! Thanks King!!

Olaf was my first camper & I reacted the same, but ended up liking him a lot I kept him for quite a while

Thanks for showing me something i would probably never achieve. 10/10

I love your video's I can never sit down myself and play animal crossing for a long time but this is a perfect longform video. great work and I hope you make more you are growning so much and you deserve it

21:12 "tough fish to do" is an understatement. Spent over 20 hours during rain to find a coelacanth 😫 and ive never caught another one since
