Giving your collected gyroids to Brewster in Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a fantastic way to free up storage space and expand your musical horizons! Here’s a straightforward guide on how to do just that:
First, you need to have unlocked The Roost, the cafe located within your island’s museum. To do this, you must have already donated at least one of each type of item to the museum: a fish, a bug, a fossil, and a piece of art. Once the museum has been upgraded, Blathers will mention the need for a cafe. You’ll then need to find and convince Brewster to open shop. After this, daily interaction at The Roost will open up additional game play features, including the storage of Gyroids.
Once The Roost is open for business, you can give your gyroids to Brewster by simply talking to him while holding one or more in your inventory. He will be positioned behind the counter, ready to serve coffee or accept your gyroids. There is no specific dialogue option; he will immediately recognize that you have gyroids and offer to hold them for you. He will store your gyroids in a back room, making them readily accessible to retrieve later.
Giving Your First Gyroids
The initial exchange with Brewster is the most crucial. After you’ve had a few cups of coffee from him, he’ll mention that you seem to have collected quite a few gyroids and will offer his services to keep them for you. You will be able to store any gyroids you bring him beyond that point (excluding duplicates, as he won’t store the same one twice) and he will display them. This offer won’t happen right away; it takes a few daily interactions. You’ll know that the option is available to you once he mentions them and makes his offer.
The Gyroid Storage System
Brewster’s gyroid storage system is a convenient way to keep your collection without cluttering your home or storage shed. He will hold quite a few, but there is a limit. It was previously believed that the storage limit was 12 but it has been clarified that it’s actually more than 50. You can retrieve gyroids from him anytime you like, but the ones he stores are for display purposes, rather than to be used as musical instruments. For that purpose, you will still have to keep some in storage, or display them in your own home.
Key Things to Note:
- No Duplicates: Brewster will not store duplicate gyroids. This is an important factor to consider when choosing what to bring him.
- Brewstoid: Brewster will gift you an exclusive Brewstoid gyroid after you’ve purchased coffee from him 50 times.
- Display vs. Usage: The gyroids Brewster keeps are primarily for display in his back room, not for active use in your home’s sound system or in Club LOL.
- Retrieval: You can retrieve your stored gyroids from Brewster anytime, and at any rate, which allows for maximum flexibility.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Gyroids and Brewster
1. What are Gyroids in Animal Crossing: New Horizons?
Gyroids are unique, collectible items in Animal Crossing: New Horizons that make unique sounds, and can be placed as decorative objects in your home. They were first introduced in earlier Animal Crossing games, and have been brought back in New Horizons with a twist. They are now able to be synchronized to music and add an extra rhythmic layer to the game experience.
2. How do I obtain Gyroids?
You can obtain gyroids by digging up gyroid fragments and planting them. You will need to water them, and then dig them up the following day. They can also be found in the same way as fossils, during rains, on your island, or on mystery island tours. They can be found along shorelines or buried in the sand, grass, or dirt on your island. The appearance of gyroids may be dependent on whether the last day was raining, and that there will be more fragments spawning the day after a rainstorm.
3. Can I customize Gyroids?
Yes, most gyroids in Animal Crossing: New Horizons can be customized. You can change their color by going to any workbench you have access to and selecting customization options. However, the Brewstoid, given by Brewster, cannot be customized, and cannot be replaced.
4. How do I use Gyroids in my home?
You can display them as furniture in your home. You can place them on shelves, tables, or any other surface. You can also synchronize them with the music that is playing in your home, and the sound will follow the rhythm and tempo of the music. This allows for a complex soundscape to be created in your home by using these tools.
5. What is the Brewstoid?
The Brewstoid is a special gyroid modeled after Brewster. You can only obtain it from Brewster once you have purchased coffee from him at least 50 times. It makes a unique cooing sound, similar to Brewster’s usual noises, when activated.
6. How do I get the Brewstoid?
To get the Brewstoid, you need to purchase coffee from Brewster at least 50 times. You can only purchase one cup per day, so it will take a little while. Once you have met the criteria, the next time you order a coffee from him, he will give you the Brewstoid as a reward.
7. Is the Brewstoid rare?
Yes, the Brewstoid is one of the rarest gyroids in the game due to the requirements needed to obtain it. Also, once you obtain it, it is the only one that will ever be given, so you cannot buy another one, and if it is misplaced, it is gone forever. Therefore, keep it carefully, and do not gift it to anyone who does not know its value.
8. Can Brewster hold unlimited Gyroids?
No, Brewster has a limit to how many gyroids he will store for you at any given time. The limit is believed to be 50, so you should retrieve some from time to time to allow for more to be displayed.
9. Does Brewster charge for storing Gyroids?
No, Brewster does not charge you to store your gyroids. It is a service he provides after you have befriended him and gotten into a daily routine of coffee drinking.
10. Can I use the Gyroids Brewster stores in my house?
No, the gyroids that Brewster stores are solely for display in the back room of The Roost. You cannot use them as musical items in your house. You will need to keep separate gyroids in your inventory to use for music purposes in your own home or in Club LOL.
11. What happens if I try to give Brewster a duplicate Gyroid?
Brewster will not accept duplicate gyroids for storage. He will gently indicate that he already has that one and will refuse to store it. This is why the use of labeling your storage is so very important when keeping gyroids, so that you know which ones you have already delivered to Brewster.
12. How often should I talk to Brewster?
Talking to Brewster daily and getting coffee from him increases your friendship, unlocks his services and his special offers like pigeon milk, and will help you get the Brewstoid. It also shows you different sides of his quiet personality. You should make it a daily practice to visit him.
13. What is Pigeon Milk?
Pigeon milk is a special addition that Brewster can add to your coffee when he begins to like you. It is not literal milk from a pigeon, as they are birds, not mammals. Instead, it’s his way of showing affection, and may represent the fact that he feels comfortable enough with you to show a more personal touch in his service.
14. Can I work at The Roost?
Yes, eventually, you can get a part time job in The Roost. You need to be a frequent customer and also have other customers in the store when you talk to Brewster from the counter, where take away coffee is served.
15. What else can I do with Gyroids?
Other than using them for your home decoration, rhythm, and in Club LOL, gyroids can also be sold for a few bells each at Nook’s Cranny. However, if you are a true collector, you would likely want to keep them and display them. You can also use them to help fill out any collection that you may be keeping.
By following these tips and answers, you’ll be well on your way to managing your gyroid collection effectively and building a deeper bond with Brewster. Happy collecting and crafting!
