This took about 3 weeks of streams on my Twitch channel: twitch.tv/Dagnel Second Channel Unedited Video (Will go live once this video premiers): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q8p4fsqZ1squZmw.html Golden Net Speedrun Guide: www.speedrun.com/acnh/guides/kc762

absolutely crazy how dag still manages to make really cool and interesting acnh content almost four years after the game came out, mad respect

why did you do this to yourself

Cant wait to get a fossil version of this, they just get scared so easily 😅😅

Dagnel is starting to reach the limits of what he can do in ACNH, so he has now begun what I like to call “The Masochism Phase”. It is the phase that any challenge run channel eventually goes into in which each video is them going through deeper levels of pain and suffering, because the game can’t get pushed any further. Great video as always, man.

the miyama stag probably just despawned. sometimes you can catch it at the right moment when the bugs do that, as ive seen it happen with butterflies and bugs that you find on the ground.

I only travel around my island by sprinting as fast as possible so I can't *imagine* the patience something like this requires!

20:58 I'm no data miner or anything like that, this is purely from experience... but something I have noticed about this game is that for some reason it remembers the last tree that you interacted with, basically what makes the leaf moving animation, to the point that there is some actions that you can do from far away that can trigger the animation to play on that same tree. So my assumption is that your net breaking triggered that animation despite you not being near the tree, however I didn't see the livestream to know if that was the last tree you touched, but hey, that's just a theory. I still wouldn't count it as a restart because it's the game's code fault and you were stuck in a cutscene with nothing you could do besides preventing the bug net from breaking, but that's dumb. - Video showing the tree animation glitch: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qJ15n8uEs7ORo4k.html

Watching this and seeing 60/80 caught with almost 20 minutes left is truly scary

I seriously commend you for continuing with your last try. Even if you didn’t manage what you set out to do the result is really impressive. Also even almost 4 years into the game’s lifecycle you still make really interesting and enjoyable content and challenges!

I find it humorous that the "Earth-boring Dung Beetle" escapes by flying away instead of boring into the Earth.

Haven’t played ACNH since it came out honestly as I was really disheartened for a while on the lack of content that was immediately out and how we had to wait for it. I recently came across your channel last week and have binged SO many videos. It really made me miss this game and I decided to delete my old island to start all over from the beginning. I’ve been having so much fun again.

This. Must. Have. Been. A. PAIN

I love watching chat go ‘NOOOOOO’ everytime you lose

this challenge was pretty brutal and you stuck with it further than anyone else would have. congrats dude

Every video, I feel like Dagnel’s slowly going mentally unstable

Seeing you say "I dont wanna do this anymore" 17 min into a 50 min video is so funny, youre way stronger than me for this 😂

This must be a form of self harm

Everyone: AC is a relaxing game Dagnel: hold my beer

watching your slow descent into insanity for the bit is extremely admirable

Wouldnt wish this on my worst enemy

Ah yes. ACNH Suika game TOTK The three pillars

i am SO excited for this one, first time managing to catch most of the streams and i can’t wait to see how dag edits it all together im BUZZING (no pun intended)

Good lord this was stressful. Thanks for putting yourself through torture for our amusement, Dagnel - we appreciate you

27:13 that YOINK reminded me of that dude on instagram going through the amazonas jungle and looking for that big python lmao 😭😭

i am always shocked at how committed you are to making interesting acnh challenges even when they can be so tedious. watching your vids never fail to revitalize my love for this game.

Sooo.. nobody gonna talk about the bad dragon discussion at 6:50 ?

Now let's see him do it with fish

watching this on stream was nerve wracking, i’m glad you’re done with this because woof, it was hard to watch at points. can’t imagine how stressful and frustrating it was to do

You must have an unbridled hatred for the bug leaving sfx. Like normally it's like aaah dang hopefully I catch the bug next time. I'm glad you're doing the work of a crazy person.

I have been rewatching the acnh masochist playlist now another one to watch when I'm done with the rewatch

Now he's gonna flinch every time a bug flys away lol

Glad to see you back man. If you’re reaching a burnout, take a break, we’ll be here when you get back because everything you upload is top quality.

Even if you didn’t technically do it, you still accomplished way more than anyone else would have done. Your sacrifice means a lot.

Watching this made my heart race. I put this on to watch in the background while playing ACNH (like I normally do), but I had to put my Switch down because I got too engrossed in watching this. Great video and you did your best! Honestly completing the challenging with scaring less than 5 bugs away is CRAZY impressive!

I have this random urge once a year to start acnh again, making a new island and 100% it. I usually stop playing after two weeks but I for the life of me find the first few hours so boring and annoying. I could never do that over and over again back to back. Huge respect to you for doing this challenge!

this is a level of patience i will never achieve. i would also have ptsd for life of scaring off bugs

Was so fun watching part of this on Twitch! Honestly super impressed how far you got even if it did not turn out "perfect" in the end!

i know im late but idk if you knew that when you’re “stalking” a bug (as in holding A and walking slowly), if you want to interrupt the action without hitting your net onto the ground and potentially scaring away nearby bugs, you can press X to open your inventory and your avatar will change into the thinking position without hitting the net

Time for Dag to make “if I fail a fish catch I restart” and “if I buy a fake art peice without looking up what they look like I restart” videos

it's still insane how you went through ten whole attempts and got so close to completion! excellent work!!

I know you've been doing this a long time and it must be kind of exhausting coming up with more content, but I wanna say I really love your ACNH content and I get so excited when there's a new video I can put on while I eat :) Thanks Dangel for all your work and love you put out!!

Thoughts and prayers to your mental health (after doing this challenge) my dude 🙏🏼 thank you for all the ACNH content you do for us!!

The dedication is beyond commendable. Not to mention the creativity to come up with these challenges. After a game like Animal Crossing has been out for so long its hard to still enjoy the game and not get bored, so its incredible how interesting you make it. I love these videos so much. Hope you're doing alright, man!

I love detail of this being released on a Sunday with turnipig wandering around during the intro recording 😂

“collecting every fossil but if i scare off a bug or fish, i restart..” it would be pretty easy i think, idk, knowing dags luck it’ll be hard. 😂

I’m pretty sure this is the definition of insanity. Good content tho.

13:41 Timmy is like “…Please stop restarting your game”

“I don’t wanna do this anymore” -Dagnel, 17 minutes into a 45-minute video

Splendid work! Mr. Dagnel! I do think that if you decided to try for the 11th time, it might’ve broke you … I don’t think I could’ve watched much of the live stream, to much anxiety for my heart 🤣 anyway, excellent effort!

Your editing is phenomenal, the video was definitely enjoyable. I could feel your pain through the screen

My guy, no wonder you got burnt out. Well done for finishing it though

Friend of bugs. Enemy of Resetti.

ive been playong acnh for going on 4 years and still haven't been able to catch all the bugs and this guy did it in a literal fraction of the time its taken me

Brilliant video. Cheered me up no end. I felt you’re pain each time you scared one away.

Chat's immediate reaction to "Bad dragon? What is that?" being "OH NO OH DEAR" is actually perfect

I could feel the agony and I wasn’t even looking at the screen I just had in on in the background 😭 you’re really a trooper

Goliath beetle was also the last bug I caught. I was on a nook miles island for 4 hours before it finally spawned. Got about 20 horned atlas’ in that time.

Next video: catching every fish, but if I fail a catch, I restart.

19:52 I've noticed in some games that some actions are tied with others even if it makes no sense. It's why I think a random bug got scared when your net broke, as it shook the tree somehow. I notice this much more in heavily glitchy games like Disney Dreamlight Valley for example. If you do any action it forces the critters around you to cycle back in action. They shouldn't be connected but maybe something in the code is oddly linked together. I saw the tree for instance in this video was the closest tree to you at the time. So yeah it 10000% wasn't your fault but the game being weird. (Take this with a grain of salt. I have no idea how or why it actually happens XD just my observation from gaming so much)

This is the most insane animal crossing challenge I've ever seen anyone try

I felt so stressed watching this, I can’t imagine how you must have felt! Great video as always.

I can see the the pain in dangles eyes each time he deletes the animal crossing data ;-;

This video better get enough views to make that worth it 😭 well done, that was so fucking impressive

i love how he’s always just “okay, nice.” and the whole chat is freaking out in caps celebrating.

This determination is not human.

A trick to doing restart challenges like these is to not restart when the run is dead. Complete it anyway, noting all the failure states. That way you can learn all the pitfalls without as much repetition of the early parts

We made it, fellas! Saw all your streams for this challenge, and I'm glad we finally made it to the video. Thanks for all your efforts on this, Dag!

Ya know I feel bad for Tom nook in this video, his island didn’t take off and his resident representative was DEAD SET on catching every bug without scaring any away

Every single time you lost one and had to restart and said something like “restarting all that progress was the worst part” I kept thinking “WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO YOURSELF”

before I watched this I knew the hermit crab would be a pain in the butt

Been trying to fix my sleep schedule all week this premieres at 9 AM for me I better get that sleep schedule in check Edit: I did it I’ve got some Cantelope and I’m awake

Absolutely insane that you can do this stuff. Good job 💛

Watching you do all this crazy stuff makes me want to play ACNH again and again 😂 it's my comfort game now, I also enjoy watching vods of your streams, its always interesting to hear you talking about stuff

This challenge was the most insane so far, good work Dag! Proud of you no matter how you do

I just love the bad dragon reference randomly lol

I don’t think I could ever do this. Bro has the patience of a monk

This is seriously a video like no other in the acnh. You deserve serious compensation for the mental terror i imagine this caused

Even Sisyphus is crying looking at your pain

props to you because I wouldve gone absolutely insane after attempt one and gone fully internet-less after it.

DAGNEL IS BACK LETS GO !! Ive missed your voice and cool like challenges. Welcome back !!

explanation for 21:00 jic nobody's given it some bugs have a timer on them, when i was catching atlas moths i noticed this. The timer is very quick on them. If you don't catch them within the timer, they fly away.

I don't really enjoy ACNH, but I watched this video through to the end. This was an impressive feat- even if you didn't complete the goal you set out to. This would have killed me. Thanks for the video, this deserves a Subscribe.

"im gonna puke my pants" -dagnel, 2024

28:35 “as silly as it is - HI” ASDDGHJKLWLKFWPIDMQPSQ HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

when i read the title i thought it just meant you had to restart if you failed to catch a bug. this is exponentially more insane than that

You mentioned Jesus several times. It seemed like it was always with frustration. He is definitely there for you.

So in about a year, when the hatred for this challenge has faded, I look forward to "catching every fish, but if I scare one away I restart!"

i love these kinds of videos. feels like you’re stuck in a time loop

the facial expression 😂 16:51

My husband said you should make a video collecting all the furniture in the catalogue! I think it would be such a cool video!!🙏

Dagnel has taken ACNH massochism to the next level

dagnel: hey guys! i noticed that i’ve been feeling burnt out, so i’m taking a break in the interest of my person health, wellness, and overall sanity. thanks for understanding! 😊😘🙏🏼 also dagnel: hey wanna see something sick??? 🤪🐝🪱🐞🪰🕷️🥍

19:27 those are the villagers i started with! i’ve never seen anybody with the exact same starting as me haha (i kicked them both out they are so ugly and annoying)

I tuned in to the twitch streams as I could - You did so well, man. Loved the streams & love the video. :)

I love to see people still come up with stuff to create acnh content.

The patience this man has, unbelievable

love it when dagnel finds new ways to torture himself

Most people: Animal Crossing is so relaxing and helps my mental health

WOO congrats Dag!! Even if you didn’t get what you wanted, you got pretty damn close and still stuck to the challenge of not spooking more after
