Unlocking the Hideout in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* opens up a world of customization, including the heartwarming option to add pets and other animals for companionship. Here’s a detailed guide on how to add animals to your Hideout in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*.

How to Unlock Animals in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, interacting with new breeds of cats and dogs by petting them allows Naoe or Yasuke to unlock these animals for the Hideout. You can encounter a variety of dogs, puppies, cats, and kittens, including the special stray from the pre-order DLC quest "Thrown to the Dogs."

Yasuke has a unique way to unlock smaller animals by painting them. This includes rabbits, fox kits, tanukis, and monkeys, which you can document in the wild and later add to your Hideout.

To add animals to your Hideout, head to the Hiroma and approach the bench to access the customization menu. Enter build mode and navigate to the wolf icon on the far right. This section lists all the animal types you've unlocked, categorized into dogs, cats, and "other."

Choose the animal you wish to add, and you'll be taken to an overhead view of the Hideout. Select an open grid on the map to place your new companion. Remember, animals will roam freely once you're back in game mode, so they might not always be in the same spot when you want to interact with them.

You can add multiple instances of the same animal, except for the "Thrown to the Dogs" pup, which is unique. However, there's a limit to the total number of animals you can have at once. You can always remove or replace animals in build mode to refresh your Hideout's menagerie.

That’s how you can add animals to the Hideout in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, enhancing your gaming experience with furry and feathered friends.

*Assassin’s Creed Shadows* is now available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, offering players a rich world to explore and personalize.
