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

In Ubisoft’s *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, players encounter a variety of creatures, including the beloved cats. For those eager to find the cat island, we've got you covered with a step-by-step guide to discovering this feline haven.

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

To reach the cat island, you'll need to head to the Omi region, typically accessible around the midpoint of the story. Ensure your characters are well-prepared for the journey ahead, then navigate northeast to reach Omi.

Your destination is Lake Biwa, a vast body of water central to the Omi region. To cross it, it's advisable to secure a boat from nearby settlements like Azuchi or Omizo. Alternatively, you can swim, though a boat will make your journey much easier.

Aim for the larger island in the middle of Lake Biwa, located just northwest of Azuchi. Upon arrival, you'll discover Okishima, complete with a Kakurega where you can rest. The presence of fish drying near the docks hints at the island's furry inhabitants.

To immerse yourself in the cat-filled environment, head north towards the Leap of Faith. As you ascend, you'll encounter more 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 the Leap of Faith typically reveals new locations, the true treasure of Okishima is its feline residents. After exploring and landing in the haystack, you can revisit the cats at your leisure. You'll also return to Okishima later in Yasuke’s story, adding another layer of excitement to your adventure.
