To turn on the tiki torch in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, follow these simple steps:

1. Locate the tiki torch: First, you need to find the tiki torch on your island. It is a houseware furniture item that can be placed outdoors. Look around your island, especially in areas where you have placed outdoor furniture or decorations.

2. Interact with the tiki torch: Once you have located the tiki torch, approach it and press the A button to interact with it. This will bring up a menu of options related to the tiki torch.

3. Select the lighting option: From the menu, choose the option that allows you to turn the lighting effect of the tiki torch on or off. This will toggle the lighting between being on or off, depending on its current state.

4. Enjoy the ambiance: After selecting the lighting option, the tiki torch will either light up or extinguish. If it was previously off, it will now emit a warm, flickering light, creating a cozy ambiance in its surroundings. If it was already on, it will turn off, and the area will be slightly dimmer.

Personal experience:

I remember when I first discovered the tiki torch in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. It was during a warm summer evening on my virtual island, and I was looking for ways to create a relaxing and inviting outdoor space. As I explored my island, I stumbled upon the tiki torch, tucked away in a corner near the beach.

Curiosity got the better of me, and I approached the tiki torch to see what it had to offer. Upon interacting with it, I was delighted to find the option to turn on its lighting effect. Without hesitation, I selected the option, and to my surprise, the tiki torch came to life with a soft, flickering glow.

The warm light spilled onto the surrounding area, casting dancing shadows on the ground and creating a tranquil atmosphere. I couldn’t help but feel a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment as I admired the tiki torch’s contribution to my island’s overall aesthetic.

Since then, I have enjoyed experimenting with different placements for the tiki torch. Sometimes I place it near my outdoor seating area, enhancing the cozy ambiance for evening gatherings with my virtual animal friends. Other times, I position it strategically along a path, providing a guiding light for nighttime strolls.

The tiki torch has become an integral part of my island’s outdoor decor, adding a touch of charm and tranquility to various areas. Whether it’s illuminating a hidden garden or casting a warm glow on a sandy beach, the tiki torch has truly enhanced the visual appeal and overall experience of my virtual island life.
