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

To locate the cat island, you’ll first need to progress to the Omi region, which typically occurs midway through the storyline. Ensure your characters are strong enough to handle upcoming challenges before heading northeast toward Omi.

Your destination lies within Lake Biwa, a vast body of water in the heart of the region. It’s advisable to acquire a boat early in your journey—set sail from either Azuchi or Omizo settlements, or simply dive into the water and swim your way across.

With this in mind, aim for the larger island in the center of the lake, situated northwest of Azuchi. Upon arrival, you’ll uncover Okishima, home to a Kakurega where you can take a breather. Notice the dried fish near the docks—plenty of sustenance for the island’s feline inhabitants.

To immerse yourself in the company of cats, head northward toward the Leap of Faith. As you ascend, you’ll encounter increasing numbers of cats. Don’t hesitate to pet them—you’ll add these critters to your collection, especially valuable rare kittens, which are scarce elsewhere.

While most Leaps of Faith introduce exciting landmarks to your map, Okishima’s true allure lies in its feline residents. After exploring the area and landing in the haystack, your primary activity will involve revisiting these charming creatures. You’ll revisit this island later in Yasuke’s storyline, adding another layer of intrigue.

That’s all you need to know about finding the cat island in Assassin’s Creed Shadows. For further assistance, explore resources like The Escapist.
