In Ubisoft's *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, players encounter a variety of creatures, including the delightful presence of cats. If you're on a quest to discover the cat island in the game, we've got you covered with a step-by-step guide.

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

Your journey to find the cat island will lead you to the region of Omi, which you'll reach around the midpoint of the story. Ensure your characters are well-prepared and powered up before heading northeast towards Omi.

Your destination is Lake Biwa, a large body of water in the central part of the region. To reach your target, it's advisable to secure a boat from the settlements of Azuchi or Omizo. Alternatively, if you're feeling adventurous, you can swim to the location.

Aim for the larger island in the middle of Lake Biwa, located just northwest of Azuchi. Once you arrive, the game will unveil Okishima Island, complete with a Kakurega for resting. You'll notice plenty of fish being dried near the docks, signaling a haven for a particular type of animal.

To immerse yourself among the cats on Okishima, head north towards the Leap of Faith. As you ascend, you'll encounter more and more cats. Make sure to pet them to add these charming creatures to your collection for use in the Hideout, especially the elusive rare kittens that are hard to find elsewhere.

While Leaps of Faith typically reveal new locations on your map, the true treasure on Okishima is the companionship of your new feline friends. After exploring and taking the Leap of Faith into the haystack, you can revisit the cats. You'll also return to Okishima later in Yasuke's story, adding another layer of anticipation to your journey.
