Discover Cat Island in Assassin's Creed Shadows: Location Guide

Apr 06,25

In Ubisoft's *Assassin's Creed Shadows*, players encounter a delightful array of wildlife, including the much-loved cats. If you're on a quest to find the cat island in the game, let us guide you through the journey.

How to Find the Cat Island in Assassin's Creed Shadows

Your journey to the cat island will take you to the region of Omi, which you'll reach around the midpoint of the story. Once your characters are well-equipped and ready for the adventure, head northeast to find Omi.

Your destination is Lake Biwa, a prominent body of water central to the region. To reach the island, it's best to find a boat, which you can acquire from the settlements of Azuchi or Omizo. Alternatively, you can swim across the lake, though a boat is recommended for ease of travel.

Your target is the larger island in the middle of Lake Biwa, just northwest of Azuchi. Navigate to this island, and you'll discover Okishima, complete with a Kakurega where you can rest. You'll notice plenty of fish being dried near the docks, a clear sign that this island is home to a particular type of animal.

To immerse yourself in the feline paradise on Okishima, head north towards the Leap of Faith. As you ascend, you'll encounter more and more cats. Don't forget to pet them to add these charming creatures to your collection for use in the Hideout, especially the rare kittens, which are difficult to find elsewhere.

While most Leaps of Faith reveal new locations on your map, the true treasure on Okishima is the companionship of these feline friends. After exploring and taking the Leap of Faith into the haystack, there's little else to do on the island except enjoy the company of the cats. You'll also revisit Okishima later in Yasuke's story, adding another layer of excitement to your adventure.
