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

To reach the cat island, you'll need to journey to the Omi region, typically around the midpoint of the game's story. Ensure your characters are well-prepared and leveled up before heading northeast to Omi.

Your destination is Lake Biwa, a prominent body of water in the center of the region. It's advisable to secure a boat from nearby settlements like Azuchi or Omizo. Alternatively, you can swim to reach your goal.

Navigate to the larger island in the middle of Lake Biwa, located northwest of Azuchi. Upon arrival, you'll discover Okishima, featuring a Kakurega where you can rest. The island is bustling with activity, especially near the docks where fish are being dried, attracting a particular type of animal.

To immerse yourself in the feline wonderland of Okishima, head north towards the Leap of Faith. As you ascend, you'll encounter more and more cats. Don't miss the chance to pet them, adding these delightful creatures to your collection for use in the Hideout. Keep an eye out for rare kittens, which are scarce elsewhere.

After taking in the sights and landing in the haystack, there's little left to do but enjoy the company of the cats. You'll revisit Okishima later in Yasuke’s storyline, adding another layer of excitement to your journey.
