Forspoken players exploring the vast world can wander through four major regions, which can make tracking certain items a bit of a chore. This guide explains how to begin the quest titled “Athia is the Cat Person” or “Tanta’s Familiars,” and shows where to locate every familiar scattered across the landscape.

Remark: this quest is optional. Beyond one achievement and a handful of visual rewards, the payoff is modest. It is more about character connection and discovery than luring in significant loot.
The task centers on the heroine and her bond with her cat Homer, who remains in New York when she is away. In Forspoken, every cat statue the player uncovers triggers a mini-game where a magical pet can be befriended. At the start of the minigame, the player should approach slowly, pausing when necessary. The mechanic echoes a game of Red Light, Green Light. If the cat shows signs of distress, an orange exclamation mark appears above its head. Pausing to calm the animal is key.
Approaching closely allows the player to pet the cat and earn its trust. Once befriended, the pet will randomly appear in one of the Pilgrim’s Huts, giving the player opportunities to admire and interact with it again.
Gaining the trust of all 20 of Tanta’s familiars unlocks the “Cat Person” achievement. This achievement also matters for earning a platinum trophy for the broader collection of Forspoken challenges.
Where to find all Tanta’s familiars in Forspoken
Remark: some familiars appear naturally along the journey, while others hide in the most distant corners of each region. The most practical method to locate missing familiars is to open the map and pay attention to the right side of the screen where collectibles for each area are listed.
One of these collectible cues is Tanta’s familiars. When any familiar has already been discovered, the rest will show up on the list. Several zones may have no familiar markers, so it is efficient to focus on regions that display familiar icons on the map. This approach saves time and effort.
If a familiar can be found in a given region, the map will mark that location with a yellow paw icon near a cat statue. In that spot, there is typically another cat statue awaiting attention. If the icon is not present, it does not necessarily mean the familiar is absent; players may need to traverse plains and towns to trigger a hint on the map. The protagonist’s parkour skill helps navigate quickly, making the search feel more dynamic. In practice, exploration and periodic map checks until the cat’s paw icon appears are the keys to progress.
Additionally, clock towers can reveal more points of interest, and the bracelet worn by the protagonist can scan the surroundings to highlight new paths. Interacting with the environment in this manner broadens the map with helpful markers and insights.
Once most locations unlock, players can refer to map screenshots that illustrate the known spots across Forspoken, aiding the hunt for every familiar.
