Cat Island Location in Assassin's Creed Shadows Revealed

In Ubisoft's *Assassin's Creed Shadows*, players encounter a variety of creatures during their journey, including dogs, foxes, and deer. However, one of the more charming encounters is with the game's adorable cats. If you're on a quest to find the cat island in *Assassin's Creed Shadows*, let's guide you through the process.

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

To embark on this feline adventure, you'll need to head to the Omi region, which you'll reach around the midpoint of the story. Ensure your characters are well-prepared and equipped to handle the challenges ahead. Navigate northeast within the game to arrive at Omi.

Your destination is Lake Biwa, a prominent body of water central to the region. To reach the cat island, securing a boat is highly recommended. You can find boats at the settlements of Azuchi or Omizo. Alternatively, if you're feeling adventurous, you can swim to the island.

Once you're on the water, aim for the larger island in the middle of Lake Biwa, located just northwest of Azuchi. As you approach, the game will unveil Okishima Island, where you can find a Kakurega for rest. Notice the fish drying near the docks, a sign that this island is home to a particular type of animal.

To immerse yourself in the feline paradise on Okishima, head north towards the Leap of Faith. As you ascend, you'll begin to see more cats. Don't miss the chance to pet them; this will add these charming critters to your collection for use in the Hideout. Keep an eye out for rare kittens, which are particularly elusive and valuable additions to your collection.

While most Leaps of Faith reveal new locations on your map, the true treasure of Okishima is the company of its cats. After exploring and taking the Leap of Faith to land in the haystack, you can revisit the cats at your leisure. Additionally, you'll return to Okishima later in Yasuke's storyline, so there's more to anticipate.

That's everything you need to know about finding the cat island in *Assassin's Creed Shadows*. For further assistance with the game, be sure to check out resources on The Escapist.
