I bought the new companion with all the extra gems I got yesterday, but now I haven't seen him in 24 hours. Is there a trick to finding him?

No, you just have to find him. I think he appears at random.

His description says he appears only once each day, but we've no idea how long he actually stays. If he hangs around for as long as a totem pole, you could play for a month and still never find him. Also, if he's already been and gone, it'd be nice for there to be a message of some sort to indicate you've missed him for the day so you don't keep looking pointlessly.

I've found him 3 times already. I'm not sure why people are having trouble.

I've found him three times also. I think he appears 24 hours after you last found him - the key is to look for his hat.

Umm... I didn't worry the first 24 hours thinking that would be the trick but now it's almost 48 hours. My islands are pretty crowded, could he be behind stuff? I'll keep looking, it is good to know others are finding him.
Thanks!

Found him twice. My islands are pretty crowded and I worried I wouldn't be able to see him as zoomed out as I keep it, but the hat is a good giveaway.

When he does appear, how long does he stay?

I've got him twice he's not much bigger than a troll so you really have to look out for the hat.

He was finally just walking around! But I had finally closed out my apps and turned my phone off and back on then he was immediately there when I opened the game :-)

I bought Hyde a couple of days ago and now I seem to get less totems than previously. I used to get one an hour, but now it seems that I only get one every couple of hours. If that's because of having Hyde, then I want to give him back. I miss my totems!

I thought it was just me. I'm definitely getting less totems since buying Hyde. And even when I return to the app after say a six to ten hour hiatus, instead of having two totems poles occasionally waiting for me, there's never been a pair of them since Hyde came along. Another couple of days and it will be clear whether it's an aberration or a totem-killing Hyde-induced bug.

I had four when I signed on this morning.

I bought hide two days ago, no luck yet
My question is:is he coming at random or only when you are connected? I can't imagine if he shows up at 3am every day...
By the way, I had totems as usual during these days...

I've found Hyde every day since I purchased him (which, I believe, was day 1). I've actually seen more totems in the last few days. I'm lucky to find 4-5 a day, but I already have gotten 19 stones just in the last couple of days. Maybe I've just been more lucky in catching them. As for finding Hyde, I check first thing in the morning and he's been there every time, so the idea of him popping up 24 hours after you first found him makes a bit of sense, but I wouldn't say it was a solid theory.

I too have had no luck finding Hyde since the initial purchase and finding him the first time for the quest. After reading this thread I decided to close out the app completely and restart it and there he was. Might be something to that.

I just found him a second time, I guess he appears at random.

I've noticed that it plays the same sound as the totems do when Hyde appears for me. Since I keep my kingdom without room for totems/sheeps/trolls (I'm level 35 and have almost all shrines, so no use for them). I've managed to find him a couple of times now, aside from when first purchased.

Second day in a row for me, no Hyde to be found. Quick full close and restart of the app and bam! There he is immediately upon restart.

So now I've only seen him once since the first time and now even after shut down and all still nothing and 24hours would have been last night...
I definitely have the same number of totems though.

Is anyone else having a trouble? I haven't seen him for 3 days.

I'm just wondering if it's a glitch.

I sometimes miss one day as there is a time shift over night but not more than once.

Thanks

I found him

He lasted just 5 seconds before teleporting to another island then had to hit him 20 times before he gave up his gem.

I have found he appears about the same time every day, or 24 hours from when I found him last. If I find him late at night, I usually won't find him again until the morning after the next night, if that makes sense. If I feel like its been longer than 24 hours, a force close on the app usually helps. He makes a sound similar to a totem when he pops up.

I have still only found him 5-6 times since buying him. More recently he seems to pop up around 11pm if I make it up that late. I've never found him in the am even after missing a night.

Ive gotten less totems ever since the wilikin girl became available. Ive found Hyde ever day since i bought him though.

As others have said, closing completely out of the app and then going back in works for me every time (if its been more than 24 hours and I don't see him). He's there when I restart.

I seem to be doing better with Hyde since the last update. I don't know if it was operator error for me before or something changed.

Can I time shift so he doesn't appear at 1.30am?

I would not do it for any other reason.

Thanks

Hmmm the other night when I posted that I found him it was 10pm our time. Yesterday it was 1.30am.

Current local time is just after midnight. No sign of him yet.

I'm not the first person to post this method, but I'd like to confirm it works for me. I inevitably login just before midnight. If I haven't gotten him so far that day, shutting down my iPad and rebooting has ALWAYS resulted in the app making him appear instantly on reboot. I've successfully done this maybe 8-10 times. I've tried the same method in the middle of the day with less success. But just before day's end could be significant, like some sort of failsafe. So much so I don't even bother looking for him during the day. If I see him by chance, great, but otherwise I simply force him to appear like clockwork at day's end.

Thanks. I guess I will have to try again later in the day. The reboot method did not work till well 1.30 yesterday. It could be a time zone problem. Where are you?

Aaah! teach me to look first. Your an Aussie.
