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

In Ubisoft's *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, adventurers will encounter a variety of animals, including charming cats. For those eager to discover the cat island, here's how you can find it.

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

To embark on your journey to the cat island, you'll need to navigate to the Omi region, which becomes accessible around the midpoint of the game's story. Ensure your characters are well-prepared and equipped for the challenges ahead. Head northeast to reach Omi.

Your destination is Lake Biwa, a vast body of water central to the region. For a smoother journey, it's advisable to secure a boat from settlements like Azuchi or Omizo. Alternatively, you can swim if you prefer a more adventurous approach.

Your target is the larger island in the middle of Lake Biwa, located just northwest of Azuchi. Upon reaching it, the game will unveil Okishima Island, complete with a Kakurega for resting. The island's docks feature plenty of drying fish, signaling a haven for a specific type of animal.

To immerse yourself in the feline paradise on Okishima, head north toward the Leap of Faith. As you ascend, you'll encounter an increasing number of cats. Don't miss the chance to pet them, especially the rare kittens, which can be added to your collection for use in the Hideout.

While most Leaps of Faith enhance your map with new locations, the true treasure on Okishima is the companionship of these feline friends. After exploring and taking the Leap of Faith into the haystack, you can revisit the cats. You'll also return to the island later in Yasuke’s story, offering another opportunity to enjoy this serene location.

That's all you need to know about finding the cat island in Assassin’s Creed Shadows. For more assistance with the game, be sure to explore resources at The Escapist.
