Where To Find the Cat Island in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

In Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed Valhalla, players encounter a diverse range of wildlife during their adventures. Beyond the usual suspects like dogs, foxes, and deer, there's a delightful surprise waiting for cat lovers: a veritable island paradise teeming with adorable felines. This guide will help you locate this hidden gem.

Finding the Cat Island in Assassin's Creed Valhalla

Your journey begins in the Omi region, typically reached around the game's midpoint. Ensure your character is adequately leveled and prepared for the challenges ahead. From there, head northeast to reach Omi.

The cat island is nestled within Lake Biwa, a large body of water dominating the region's center. Securing a boat is highly recommended. You can find one in the settlements of Azuchi or Omizo, or, if you're feeling adventurous, you can always try swimming.

Your destination is the larger island in the lake's center, situated northwest of Azuchi. Upon arrival, you'll discover Okishima, complete with a Kakurega for a well-deserved rest. The abundance of drying fish near the docks hints at the island's furry inhabitants.

To be surrounded by the island's feline residents, proceed north towards the Leap of Faith. As you ascend, you'll encounter a growing number of cats. Don't forget to pet them! Adding these adorable creatures to your Hideout collection is a rewarding experience, especially the rare kittens, which are harder to find elsewhere.

While the Leap of Faith itself offers a thrilling experience, Okishima's true treasure lies in its adorable feline residents. After exploring and completing the Leap of Faith, you can revisit the cats whenever you like. You'll also return to this location later in Yasuke's storyline.
