In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, once you've unlocked the Hideout, you can enhance your space by adding pets and other animals for companionship. Here’s a detailed guide on how to add animals to the Hideout, ensuring you can enjoy the company of furry friends as you plan your next moves.
How to Unlock Animals in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
To unlock animals for your Hideout, interact with different breeds of cats and dogs throughout the game. Each time Naoe or Yasuke pets a new breed, that animal becomes available for your Hideout. You can encounter various dogs, puppies, cats, and kittens, including the stray from the pre-order DLC quest "Thrown to the Dogs."
Yasuke has a unique way of unlocking smaller animals by painting them. You can document and unlock rabbits, fox kits, tanukis, and monkeys by capturing their images in the wild. These critters can then be added to your Hideout for a touch of wilderness.
Additionally, you can purchase farm animals like oxen and goats from vendors across Japan, using mon as currency. This adds a rustic charm to your Hideout and offers a variety of animals to choose from.
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 the Hideout. Select an open grid on the map to place the animal. Remember, 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.
You can add multiple instances of any 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 in the Hideout. You can always remove or replace animals by erasing them in build mode and adding new ones.
That's how you can add animals to the Hideout in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, making it a more lively and personal space.
*Assassin’s Creed Shadows* is now available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, offering players a rich and immersive experience.
