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

Once you've unlocked the Hideout in Assassin's Creed Valhalla: Wrath of the Druids, you can personalize it by adding a variety of animals for some furry (or feathery) companionship. Here's how to populate your Hideout with adorable creatures:

Unlocking Animals in Assassin's Creed Valhalla: Wrath of the Druids

Many animals are unlocked by interacting with them. Whenever Naoe or Yasuke pets a cat or dog of a breed they haven't encountered before, that animal becomes available for your Hideout. This includes various dogs, puppies, cats, kittens, and even the stray dog you help in the pre-order DLC quest, "Thrown to the Dogs."

Yasuke can also unlock smaller animals through his painting hobby. Rabbits, fox kits, tanukis, and monkeys are among the creatures you can document and subsequently add to your Hideout.

Finally, you can purchase farm animals like oxen and goats from vendors throughout Ireland using mon.

Adding Animals to Your Hideout

To add your newly unlocked animals, enter the Hiroma and interact with the bench to access the Hideout customization menu. Enter build mode, then select the wolf icon on the far right. This reveals all your unlocked animals, categorized as dogs, cats, and "other."

Choose the animal you want and you'll be taken to an overhead view of the Hideout. Select an empty grid space to place the animal. While you can position them initially, remember they'll roam freely once you leave build mode, so don't expect them to stay put!

You can add multiple instances of most animals (excluding the "Thrown to the Dogs" pup), but there's a limit to the total number of animals you can have. You can also remove or replace animals at any time by deleting them and adding new ones in build mode.

And that's how you add animals to your Hideout in Assassin's Creed Valhalla: Wrath of the Druids!

Assassin's Creed Valhalla: Wrath of the Druids is available now on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
