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

Unlocking and customizing the Hideout in *Assassin's Creed Shadows* offers a delightful way to personalize your space, including the addition of pets and other animals for companionship. Here's how you can enrich your Hideout with these furry and feathered friends.

How to Unlock Animals in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

In *Assassin's Creed Shadows*, interacting with different breeds of cats and dogs as Naoe or Yasuke can unlock them for your Hideout. Each new breed you encounter and pet adds to your collection, allowing you to welcome various dogs, puppies, cats, and kittens into your space, including the stray from the pre-order DLC quest "Thrown to the Dogs."

Yasuke can also unlock smaller animals by painting them. This includes rabbits, fox kits, tanukis, and monkeys encountered in the wild. By documenting these creatures, you can later add them to your Hideout, enhancing its diversity.

Additionally, you can purchase farm animals like oxen and goats from vendors across Japan using mon, providing a rustic touch to your Hideout.

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. 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 stay in the exact spot where you placed them.

You can add multiple instances of the same animal, except for the "Thrown to the Dogs" pup, but keep in mind there's a limit to the total number of animals you can have. You can always remove or replace animals in build mode to keep your Hideout's menagerie fresh and exciting.

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

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