Assassin’s Creed Shadows: Guide to Adding Animals to Your Hideout

Once you've unlocked the Hideout in *Assassin's Creed Shadows*, you can personalize it by adding pets and other animals to keep you company. Here's a detailed guide on how to add animals to your Hideout in *Assassin's Creed Shadows*.

How to Unlock Animals in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

In *Assassin's Creed Shadows*, each time Naoe or Yasuke interacts with a new breed of cat or dog, you unlock that specific animal for your Hideout. You can encounter a variety of dogs, puppies, cats, and kittens throughout your journey, including the stray you can save in the pre-order DLC quest "Thrown to the Dogs."

Additionally, Yasuke can unlock smaller animals by capturing them in his paintings. Rabbits, fox kits, tanukis, and monkeys are some of the wildlife you might come across and document. These animals can then be added to the Hideout for a touch of nature.

For those looking to add farm animals to their space, various vendors across Japan offer oxen and goats for purchase, at different prices in mon.

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

(Ubisoft) To start customizing your Hideout, head to the Hiroma and interact with the bench to access the improvement menu. Once in the customization menu, switch to build mode and navigate to the wolf icon on the far right. This section will display all the animal types you've unlocked, categorized into dogs, cats, and "other."

Choose the animal you wish to add to your Hideout. You'll then be taken to an overhead view of the Hideout, where you can select an open grid on the map to place your new companion. Remember, animals will roam freely once you exit build mode, so they might not always be in the same spot when you're looking for some affection.

You can add multiple instances of the same animal, including the pup from "Thrown to the Dogs," but there's a cap on the total number of animals you can have at once. Feel free to remove or replace animals at any time by using the erase/remove function in build mode and adding new ones.

That's how you can add animals to your Hideout in *Assassin's Creed Shadows* and make it a cozy, lively space.

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