How to Unlock Animals in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, you can unlock various animals by interacting with them. Each time Naoe or Yasuke pet a cat or dog of a breed they haven’t encountered before, that animal becomes available for the Hideout. You can welcome a variety of dogs, puppies, cats, and kittens into your space, including the stray you save during the pre-order DLC quest "Thrown to the Dogs."

Yasuke also has the unique ability to unlock smaller animals by painting them. This includes rabbits, fox kits, tanukis, and monkeys that you may encounter and document in the wild. These critters can then be added to the Hideout to enhance your environment.

For those interested in farm animals, vendors throughout Japan offer oxen and goats for purchase, at varying prices in mon.

How to Add Animals to the Hideout in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

(Ubisoft) To add animals to your Hideout, enter the Hiroma and approach the bench to access the customization menu. Once in build mode, 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 to the Hideout. You'll then see an overhead view of the Hideout, where you can select an open grid on the map to place the animal. Remember, animals will roam freely once you return to game mode, so they won't 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. However, there's a limit to the total number of animals you can have at the Hideout. You can always remove or replace animals by erasing them and adding new ones in build mode.

That’s how you can add animals to the Hideout in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*.

*Assassin’s Creed Shadows is available now on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.*
