Rise of the Ronin: How To Catch & Collect Calico Cats

Rise of the Ronin is a huge game packed with all sorts of things to find and collect. Among the coolest collectibles are, without a doubt, the Calico Cats. They're not just ordinary items; they bring a unique charm to the game with their cuteness. While there are tons of collectibles to chase after in Rise of the Ronin, these cats are especially noteworthy. They're a bit tricky to catch, which adds a fun challenge, but they're absolutely worth the effort. In this guide, we'll walk you through how to catch these tricky Calico Cats that love to dash away just when you think you've got them.

How To Catch & Collect Calico Cats in Rise of the Ronin

In the game, you'll come across two kinds of cats. The first kind doesn’t mind if you come up close; they're pretty chill about noise. To collect them, all you have to do is walk up and press and hold R2. This will let you pet them and make them part of your collection.

Calico Cats, on the other hand, are a different story. They're the skittish ones that take off at the slightest sound. To catch these cats without scaring them away:

• Move quietly. By pressing L3, you can sneak up on the cat. This way, you won't make any noise that might frighten it.
• Once you're close, press and hold R2 to pet the cat, adding it to your collection.

If you accidentally make a noise and the cat scurries off, don't worry. You can still get another shot at it. Just leave the area and come back later. The easiest way is to fast travel to another Veiled Edge Banner and then teleport back to the closest one to the cat's location. The cat will return to its original place. This time, try to be more careful and not scare it away.

Should You Collect the Cats in Rise of the Ronin

Now, you might be wondering, why go through all this trouble for some cats? Collecting all 100 Cats earns you the "Cats Over All" Trophy, a neat accomplishment for any gamer who is going for that 100 % completion of the game. But there's more to it than just the trophy. You can exchange these cats for valuable items at a vendor in Yokohama, located at your base in the pleasure district. This area becomes accessible as you progress through the game's storyline.

And that concludes our guide on how to collect Calico Cats in Rise of the Ronin. Whether you're after the trophy or simply looking to purchase items from the cat vendor, collecting cats will enrich your gaming experience. For more Rise of the Ronin guides, be sure to check the rest of our website.
