It’s easy to assume that four years after released to the world, players would’ve found most of the Easter eggs and hidden secrets throughout the game.
But anyone who hasn’t spent enough time at Katrina’s Fortune Shop has probably missed just how important she is to the game.
Reddit user Leenierz shared that after three years of playing, they just now realized that the gibberish Katrina shouts at the end of a fortune is a secret message spelled backward.
In the image, the panther is shouting “LLA SWONK LATSYRC EHT,” which, when turned around, reads “THE CRYSTAL KNOWS ALL.” There are actually different secret messages hidden in these faux spells.
Players asking her to bless a friend will receive the line “SELUR PIHSDNEIRF,” translating to “FRIENDSHIP RULES.” Those receiving a bad fortune and wanting to turn it around will receive the shouted message “RETSASID DIOVA,” or “AVOID DISASTER.” Finding exploits for Bells has always been the game in Animal Crossing New Horizons, but there is a cap to how many Bells players can have.
