In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, once you've unlocked the Hideout, you have the exciting option to personalize your space, including adding pets and other animals for companionship. Here’s a detailed guide on how to bring these furry and feathered friends into your Hideout.
How to Unlock Animals in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
Unlocking animals for your Hideout in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* is a delightful part of the game. Each time Naoe or Yasuke interact with a new breed of cat or dog, you'll unlock that specific animal for your Hideout. The game features a variety of dogs, puppies, cats, and kittens that can join the League, including the special stray you rescue in the pre-order DLC quest "Thrown to the Dogs."
Yasuke can also unlock smaller creatures like rabbits, fox kits, tanukis, and monkeys by painting them during his travels. Documenting these animals in the wild not only adds to your collection but also allows you to bring them into your Hideout.
For those interested in farm life, various vendors across Japan offer farm animals such as oxen and goats for purchase, each at different prices in mon.
How to Add Animals to the Hideout in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
Choose the animal you wish to add, and you’ll be taken to an overhead view of your Hideout. Here, you can select an open grid on the map to place your new companion. Remember, while you can position them initially, animals will roam freely once you return to game mode, so they might not always be in the same spot when you're looking for some cuddles.
Aside from the unique pup from "Thrown to the Dogs," you can add multiple instances of any animal to your Hideout. However, there’s a limit to the total number of animals you can host, so plan your menagerie wisely. You can always remove or replace animals by erasing them in build mode and adding new ones.
That’s the complete guide on how to add animals to your Hideout in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*.
*Assassin’s Creed Shadows* is now available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, offering players a rich and immersive experience in feudal Japan.
