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

In Ubisoft's *Assassin's Creed Shadows*, players can encounter a variety of creatures, including the delightful presence of cats. For those eager to locate the cat island within the game, here's a detailed guide to help you on your journey.

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

To embark on this feline adventure, you'll need to travel to the Omi region, which you'll reach around the midpoint of the game's story. Ensure your characters are well-prepared and powered up before setting out. Head northeast within the Omi region to find your destination.

Your target is Lake Biwa, a vast body of water central to Omi. To reach the cat island, it's advisable to secure a boat from nearby settlements like Azuchi or Omizo. Alternatively, if you're feeling adventurous, you can swim across the lake.

Your destination is the larger island in the middle of Lake Biwa, located just northwest of Azuchi. Upon reaching this island, known as Okishima, you'll discover a Kakurega where you can rest. The presence of fish being dried near the docks hints at the abundance of food for a certain type of animal.

To immerse yourself in the feline paradise on Okishima, head north towards the Leap of Faith. As you ascend, you'll notice an increasing number of cats. Don't miss the opportunity to pet them, as this will add these charming creatures to your collection for use in the Hideout. Keep an eye out for rare kittens, which are particularly elusive and valuable.

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