As a second player on the island, you may find that some DIY recipes are not available to you at the beginning. The flimsy axe recipe is one of those recipes that you might not have access to. However, there is a way to obtain it and start crafting your own flimsy axes.
To get the flimsy axe recipe, you’ll need to have a certain level of progress in the game. First, make sure that you’ve completed the DIY workshop with Tom Nook. Once that’s done, you’ll need to wait for the next day to receive a special visitor on the island – it could be Blathers or someone else.

By following these simple steps, you’ll be able to obtain the flimsy axe recipe as a second player in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Now you can start chopping down trees and gathering resources just like the other players on your island. Happy crafting!
What is the flimsy axe recipe?
The flimsy axe is a basic tool in the game Animal Crossing: New Horizons. It is a weaker version of the regular axe, but it still serves its purpose. The flimsy axe recipe is obtained from Tom Nook, the raccoon character who runs the island where the game takes place. Tom Nook will give the recipe to the first player who starts the game, allowing them to craft the flimsy axe using the required materials.
The flimsy axe recipe requires the following materials:
- 5 tree branches: Tree branches are commonly found items that can be obtained by shaking trees or hitting rocks with any tool, like a shovel or an axe.
- 1 stone: Stones can be found scattered around the island or obtained by hitting rocks with a shovel or axe.
Once the player has gathered the required materials, they can access the DIY recipes app on the in-game NookPhone and craft the flimsy axe. The flimsy axe can be used to chop down trees, gather wood, and can also be used as a weapon to hit rocks and trees.
Step 1: Choose a Leader Player
Before starting the game as the second player, it is important to determine who will be the leader player. The leader player is the one who will progress through the game’s storyline and unlock certain features, such as recipes for tools like the flimsy axe.
Once you have chosen the leader player, they will need to complete certain tasks to unlock the recipe for the flimsy axe. This includes gathering resources like tree branches and crafting other tools. As the second player, your role will be to assist the leader player in completing these tasks.
| Tip: | Communicate with the leader player to understand what tasks need to be completed and how you can help. This will ensure a smooth gameplay experience for both players. |
Join a multiplayer game
To get the flimsy axe recipe as a second player in a multiplayer game, you will need to follow these steps:
1. Start the game as the second player by selecting the option to join a multiplayer game.
2. Connect online or locally to the main player’s island by using either the Dodo Code or the local wireless play option.
3. Once you are on the main player’s island, look for Timmy or Tommy, the resident shopkeepers. They can usually be found in the Resident Services building or the Nook’s Cranny shop.
4. Talk to Timmy or Tommy and check their inventory for the DIY recipes they have available. It is possible that one of them will have the flimsy axe recipe for sale.
Note: The availability of DIY recipes in the shop’s inventory can vary from day to day, so you might need to check multiple times or visit on a different day.
5. If the flimsy axe recipe is not available for sale, you can try one of the following options:
- Check with other players on the island to see if they have an extra copy of the flimsy axe recipe that they can give to you.
- Visit other players’ islands through online multiplayer to see if any of their shopkeepers have the flimsy axe recipe for sale.
6. Once you have obtained the flimsy axe recipe, you can use it to craft a flimsy axe and then upgrade it to a stronger axe by using iron nuggets.
Remember to always be polite and respectful when interacting with other players, whether online or locally, and ask for their permission before visiting their islands or taking any items.
Step 2: Talk to Tom Nook
Once the first player has obtained the flimsy axe recipe, the second player will need to speak to Tom Nook, the raccoon who runs the island. This can be done by approaching him and pressing the A button to initiate a conversation.
During the conversation, the second player should ask Tom Nook if there is anything they can do to help the island grow and develop. Tom Nook will then mention the recipe for the flimsy axe and inform the second player that they can acquire it by gathering tree branches.
Listening carefully to his instructions, the second player should note that they need to collect 5 tree branches in order to create the flimsy axe. Tree branches can be found scattered around the island, and they appear as small items on the ground that can be picked up by pressing the Y button.
Once the second player has collected 5 tree branches, they can return to Tom Nook and speak to him again. By selecting the “I found something!” option during the conversation, the second player can show Tom Nook the collected tree branches and receive the flimsy axe recipe in return.
Important Tips:
- Remember to listen carefully to Tom Nook’s instructions to ensure you know exactly what to do.
- Keep an eye out for tree branches while exploring the island, as they can easily be missed.
- Make sure to have enough inventory space to hold the tree branches before attempting to collect them.
By following these steps and talking to Tom Nook, the second player will be able to obtain the flimsy axe recipe and start their journey in crafting and improving the island!
Find a player with the flimsy axe recipe
If you are playing as the second player in Animal Crossing: New Horizons on the same Nintendo Switch console, you may not have access to all of the recipes and tools from the beginning. However, you can still obtain the flimsy axe recipe by finding a player who already has it.
Steps to find a player with the flimsy axe recipe:
- Communicate with other players: Talk to other players on your island or visit other islands through online multiplayer or local multiplayer to find someone who has the flimsy axe recipe.
- Join their game: Request to visit their island or have them visit yours, ensuring that the player with the recipe is the leader.

Alternatively, you can also try joining Animal Crossing communities or forums online to find players who are willing to share the flimsy axe recipe with you. These communities often have dedicated trading or sharing sections where players can connect and help each other out.
Once you have the flimsy axe recipe, you will be able to craft your own flimsy axe, which can then be used to gather wood and chop down trees on your island. Make sure to gather the necessary materials and follow the recipe instructions to create your own flimsy axe.
