The long-desired photo mode has now been introduced into Stellar Blade, and with it comes a predictable pursuit: the discovery of painted cats. Shift Up, aware of the appetites of its players, has ensured that Eve’s first assignment with her new device is to take photos of hidden cats Stellar Blade scattered across the city of Xion. What follows is an account of where each image can be found.
Step-by-Step Walkthrough to Find All Cat Photos in Stellar Blade
Once the selfie camera is unlocked, three small tasks become available. Each of these missions asks players to take photos of hidden cats Stellar Blade, requiring precision with distance and angle due to the camera’s limited range. The work is simple in principle, though exact placement is often required before the picture is judged complete.
The mission called “Cats in the Cold City” proves to be the most straightforward, for Xion is both compact and relatively safe compared with the outer regions of the Wasteland and the Great Desert. To assist in the search, the sites have been listed and numbered so that they may be checked off in order.
Rewards for Completing the Hidden Cat Challenge
Completion of this hunt brings a reward: the FourSeconds Everyday Wear set. The top is attractive enough, yet the skirt, short and tightly pleated, lacks elegance. The footwear is practical in design, but the long and narrow heels are unkind. A broader heel, shorter in stature, would have given the whole outfit a more fitting balance.
Full Cat Locations Guide: Take Photos of Hidden Cats Stellar Blade
1. Vibrant Cat
You will find this cat painted among the ivy that creeps up the stairway leading towards the Great Desert lift. Descend to the first landing and there is a point from which the picture may be taken without difficulty.
2. Rare Cat
This one is drawn on the wall along the path that leads down into the tavern kept by Su and Enya.
3. Flamboyant Cat
In front of Barry’s fish stall stands a low wall lined with chained tyres. If you look into the hanging tyre to the right of the pile, the cat can be seen there.
4. Cute Cat
This figure is found on the side of an overhead pipe in the tunnel north of the notice board. It is the same tunnel where scavengers once attempted to spring an ambush upon Eve.
5. Graceful Cat
Beyond Xion stretch several bridges, joining the road to the Wasteland and the Tetrapod. At their centre stands a stone pillar. If you climb down, you will come upon the cat painted at its base.
6. Precious Cat
Look to the alley beside the Barber’s shop. On the right-hand wall you will find the mark of the Precious Cat.
7. Joyful Cat
This figure is painted high upon the wall above the Sister’s Junk store.
8. Pure Cat
The eighth cat is drawn on a low wall along the street that leads towards the bookshop. It is the first turning on the left after entering Xion.
9. Mysterious Cat
You will see this cat on the wall inside the cave that opens to the Wasteland. It is set on the left side of the entrance when one looks back towards Xion.
10. Dreaming Cat
The last of them rests on the back of a white vending machine placed near Lily’s bench.
Conclusion
As all ten cats are duly registered, the spontaneous career of Eve as the first-rate street art chronicler of Xion ends. The FourSeconds Everyday Wear reward might not change the fashion world, those impractical heels will have you tiptoeing through the rubble of the post-apocalyptic world like a shy flamingo, but the feeling of a job done is incomparable.
This photo hunt is an ideal distillation of the delightful absurdity of Stellar Blade: in a world dominated by nightmarish monsters, the artistic heritage of humanity seems to be spray-painted cats, found in tire swings and the backs of vending machines. It is strangely reassuring that, despite the fall of civilization, somebody bothered to paint the whiskers and pointy ears on the walls of the city.
FAQs
Q1: When does the cat photo challenge become available?
The Cats in the Cold City mission is unlocked after you have acquired the selfie camera option. It seems that in post-apocalyptic game reasoning, the initial thing to do with any new photography gear is not to capture the fall of civilization, but to go out and kill graffiti cats.
Q2: How many cat photos do I need to find in total?
Xion has exactly ten cats, with adorably pompous names such as Graceful Cat and Mysterious Cat.
Q3: What reward do I get for completing the collection?
You will get the FourSeconds Everyday Wear set, which includes a top that is apparently decent, a skirt that is pleated and short, and a pair of shoes that have high heels that make walking through a zombie apocalypse even more dangerous.
Q4: Are the cat locations difficult to find?
The majority of them are fairly easy to find, but there are others that demand certain positioning and camera angles that are surprisingly picky. You will be stooping clumsily over tire swings and vending machines, and likely as puzzled as the post-apocalyptic NPCs who stand around in the background as Eve takes pictures of walls rather than, say, rescuing the world on the brink of total annihilation.
