In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, after unlocking the Hideout, players can enhance their personal space by adding pets and other animals for companionship. 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
To unlock animals for your Hideout, Naoe or Yasuke can interact with different breeds of cats and dogs throughout the game. Each new breed you pet for the first time will become available to add to 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 to unlock smaller animals by painting them. This includes rabbits, fox kits, tanukis, and monkeys. Once documented, these animals can also be added to the Hideout.
Additionally, you can purchase farm animals like oxen and goats from vendors across Japan, using varying amounts of mon.
How to Add Animals to the Hideout in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
(Ubisoft) To add animals to your Hideout, enter the Hiroma and approach the bench to access 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, 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 won't always be in the same spot when you want to interact with them.
You can add multiple instances of the same animal, except for the "Thrown to the Dogs" pup. 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*.
