Bugsnax Cinnasnail: How to Catch It and Where to Find It

Bugsnax cinnasnails are found in the Sugarpine Forest and are a mix of a frozen cinnamon bun and a snail. As a result, they are very slow and very sticky. They are a necessary catch for the “Get Chandlo back to Snaxburg” quest in Bugsnax. Since Chandlo and Snorpy are together everywhere, the Bugsnax zinnas nail is crucial in getting not one but two Grumpuses back to Snaxburg. While they aren’t overly difficult to catch, the game is a bit mean to them. That’s why we’re here to help you with this guide on how to catch a tin nail in Bugsnax.

That’s because Chandlo asked you to catch them shortly after you found his basketballs and he was pointing at a pewter nail crawling around the rocks outside of this area and only accessible with the grapple gun. The game often does a bit of nudge nudge, winks and winks when prompted to catch creatures after receiving a gadget, and by the time you reach the cinnasnail you have already gone through this loop a few times.

How to catch a cinnasnail in Bugsnax

Then it is natural for you to think this is the cinnasnail that you need to catch and that the grapple gun is needed. In fact, both are not true. Instead, catch the tin nail immediately to the left of the entrance to the sugar forest and lure it off the wall with chocolate from the catapult. Set up a trap right next to the cinnasnail, then make a path out of chocolate. Make sure you don’t get too close as this will deter the snake. The nearby kwookie will also be attracted to the chocolate, so be sure to catch these first.

The Kwookie can get caught in the trap, especially if you hit the trap yourself with chocolate but are moving very quickly. If it’s too quick, use a trip wire to trip him, scoop it up, and come back to the cinnasnail.

Occasionally, the cinnasnail will crawl to the bottom of the wall but not move on the floor. If so, just put the trap as close to the wall as possible and it will still be able to pick up the cinnasnail.

On the ridge above the other end of the map is another cinnasnail that the Big Bopsicle is traveling on. You can lure this down the same way, although it’s best to stand on the raised area next to Snorby’s hut rather than below as you don’t want the Big Bopsicle to see you. If it does, it will charge you up, freeze you, and throw you away, and likely break the trap, meaning it will make catching the tin nail a lot harder. If this second one proves to be too difficult, you can sleep until the next day and then go back to the first cinnasnail and catch it again.

Once you catch them, you have to go back to Chandlo and feed them to him. If you accidentally give them to someone else first, they will reappear after you sleep. So don’t sweat. All in all, a cinnasnail isn’t as difficult to catch as a bugsnak, but because the game gets you on your way to using the grapple gun, it prepares you a little for failure.
