A dedicated fan of Animal Crossing: New Horizons has created a useful chart that outlines when players can expect to see special characters at The Roost, the beloved coffee shop in the game. Knowing the right times to visit can significantly enhance your experience and interactions with these unique NPCs.
The Roost first appeared in Animal Crossing: Wild World (2005) and has been a staple in all major installments since. Located within the museum in New Horizons after the 2.0 Free Update, players can enjoy coffee for 200 bells and encounter villagers or off-duty special characters offering unique dialogue.
When to Find Special Visitors at The Roost
A Reddit user, dianethegeek, has shared a comprehensive chart detailing the times these special characters appear:
- Celeste: 5:00 – 6:55 PM
- C.J.: 8:05 – 10:00 PM
- Daisy Mae: 12:05 – 3:00 PM
- Flick: 8:05 – 10:00 PM
- Kicks: 10:05 – 11:00 PM
- K.K. Slider: 12:05 – 3:00 AM
- Label: 12:05 – 1:00 AM
- Leif: 10:05 – 11:00 PM
- Saharah: 12:05 – 1:00 AM
This chart helps track down characters who visit on specific days every week or two, like Celeste and Daisy Mae. Additionally, Flick and C.J. appear during bug-catching and fishing contests.
Permanent Residents at The Roost
While the chart focuses on special visitors, permanent residents also pop up at the counter, albeit at random. These characters include:
- Tom, Tommy, and Timmy Nook
- Isabelle
- Blathers
- Cap’n
- Orville
Players also have a chance to encounter the Able Sisters, with Mabel visiting from 7:00 – 7:55 AM and Sable from 11:05 PM to midnight. Wilbur can be found any day but Sunday from 11:00 AM – 12:55 PM, along with the Resetti brothers on specific days.
Special Characters and Amiibo
In total, there are 66 special characters in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Others not listed can visit The Roost if players scan their Animal Crossing Amiibo figures.
