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

To reach the cat island, you'll need to venture into the Omi region, which becomes accessible around the midpoint of the story. Ensure your characters are well-prepared and equipped for the challenges ahead, then head northeast to Omi.

Your destination is Lake Biwa, a significant body of water in the center of the region. It's advisable to find a boat, perhaps from the settlements of Azuchi or Omizo, to make your journey smoother. Alternatively, you can swim across the lake.

Your target is the larger island in the middle of Lake Biwa, northwest of Azuchi. Upon arrival, you'll discover Okishima Island, complete with a Kakurega where you can rest. The presence of fish drying near the docks hints at the abundance of food for a specific type of animal.

To immerse yourself in the feline haven on Okishima, head north toward the Leap of Faith. As you ascend, you'll encounter more and more cats. Don't miss the opportunity to pet them, especially the rare kittens, which you can add to your collection for use in your Hideout.

While most Leaps of Faith reveal new map locations, the true treasure on Okishima is the companionship of these adorable creatures. After enjoying the Leap of Faith and landing in the haystack, take time to revisit the cats. You'll also return to Okishima later in Yasuke's story, adding another layer of anticipation to your journey.
