Life as an assassin may seem grim, but there’s a lighter side! Snuggling with adorable cats and dogs can bring joy, especially as you discover how to adopt pets in Assassin’s Creed: Shadows. Bring these furry friends back to your Hideout and add a touch of cuteness to your base.
How to Adopt Pets in Assassin’s Creed: Shadows
Every town on the AC: Shadows map is home to various animals. To add a pet to your Codex, simply pet a cat or dog you encounter. Cities like Osaka and Sakai are great spots to find them. However, steer clear of enemy strongholds, as these lovable companions don’t venture into dangerous areas. Those who pre-ordered the game will receive an exclusive animal through the Thrown to the Dogs quest. Once you’ve collected some delightful pets, you can transport them to your Hideout.
Once at your Hideout, select ‘Improve Hideout’ while exploring or via the table in the main house. Here, you’ll have the option to place pets in the Build section of your Hideout. Choose any cat or dog in an open area to adopt. After encountering specific breeds, you can create your very own animal empire. Note that the Tsuki-maru from the Thrown to the Dogs quest is unique and cannot be duplicated.
By adopting your first pet, you’ll unlock the AC: Shadows trophy titled Everybody Benefits! Interacting with dogs and cats at your home base may not yield rewards, but their charming presence is a delightful distraction. If you’re on the hunt for the elusive Tsuki-maru, you can use the ‘Locate’ feature in the Build menu to find them, unlike the other pets which lack this option.
Keep exploring the various regions to find and adopt more pets. There are numerous breeds to discover, including Black Akita, Calico Kitten, and Tabby Bobtail. Embrace your inner Pokémon Trainer as you strive to “catch ’em all” in Shadows.
