In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, you can use a ladder to climb cliffs. When you are against the cliff, hold the ladder, place it next to the cliff face, and then you can climb it to reach the top. You can use your ladder an infinite number of times in Animal Crossing New Horizons as it does not break.
However, there is a downside to this as well. You and the visitors must always carry a ladder with you if you want to climb cliffs. Fortunately, Update 2.0 has solved this problem and introduced permanent ladders and inclines in ACNH.
How to craft Ladder in Animal Crossing: New Horizons
The recipe to craft a ladder in ACNH can only be received after you have paid off your house loan, which is 98,000 bells; after that, you must help expand Tommy’s shop.
The expansion of the Nook’s Cranny shop requires the following items:
- Wood x30
- Hardwood x30
- Softwood x30
- Iron Nugget x30
Wait a day after you have done the former step, then speak with Tom Nook and ask, “What should I do?” You will get the DIY recipe to build a bridge. After you have built the bridge, Tom Nook will give you the recipe for the ladder. The following items will help you craft it:
- Wood ×5
- Softwood ×5
- Hardwood ×5
You can gather wood or softwood from trees by using an Axe. You will get these materials randomly, so keep cutting down the trees until your requirements are fulfilled.
The ladder crafting is a long process, but you can do it quickly with the help of Time Travel in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. After getting the ladder, you can unlock the permanent ladder recipe and craft it.
How to get the Permanent Ladder Set-Up Kit Recipe
First, buy the Ladder Set-Up Kit recipe to get a permanent ladder. The recipe is only available at the Nook’s Cranny and will cost you 2,000 Bells. With the recipe, you can craft as many permanent ladders as you want and place them on cliffs.
For crafting a permanent ladder in ACNH, you will need the following items:
- Ladder x1
- Wood x5
After crafting, select the permanent ladder in your inventory and choose “Set Next to Cliff” to place it on the cliff. You can even remove the ladder by pressing “Y” and placing it on another. Just like a normal ladder, the permanent one is non-breakable in ACNH. These ladders are better than inclines because you can craft and use them quickly and cheaply.
The Inclines will cost you a lot and take a lot of time. The cost is too much even if you skip time using Time Travel. If you have an abundance of Bells and are ready to spend them, you can build inclines as they look better than ladders.
