In Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed Shadows, amidst the diverse wildlife—dogs, foxes, deer, and more—players can discover a delightful surprise: a charming cat island! This guide will help you locate this feline paradise.
To find the cat island, you'll need to progress to the Omi region, roughly midway through the game's storyline. Ensure your character is adequately leveled and prepared for the challenges ahead before venturing northeast to Omi.
Your destination is Lake Biwa, the expansive body of water dominating central Omi. It's highly recommended to commandeer a boat from settlements like Azuchi or Omizo. Alternatively, a more adventurous approach involves swimming.
Your target is the larger island in the lake's center, northwest of Azuchi. Upon arrival, you'll discover Okishima, featuring a Kakurega for rest. The presence of drying fish near the docks hints at the island's feline inhabitants.

To encounter the cats, head north towards the Leap of Faith. As you ascend, more cats will appear. Pet them to add these adorable creatures to your Hideout collection, including rare kittens found only here.
While Okishima's Leap of Faith offers scenic views, the true treasure lies in its feline residents. After exploring and completing the Leap of Faith, you can revisit the cats whenever you like. You'll even return later during Yasuke's storyline.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows is available now on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
