Hey everyone! If you're exploring the weird and wonderful world of Once Human, especially around Chalk Peak, you might have heard a strange meowing sound or had a statue literally talk to you. That's right, I'm talking about the Lucky Cats! These aren't just creepy decorations; they're your ticket to some sweet, sweet free loot and a nice chunk of EXP to boost your leveling in 2026. No quest markers, no hand-holding—just a good old-fashioned scavenger hunt. I went out and found them all, so you don't have to wander around confused. Let's get into it!
The first stop on our cat-collecting tour is way out west, near where you probably did the Cultist's Treasure Map. Head to the Believer Colony, which is far west of Tall Grass Inn. This place is crawling with Vultures, so clear them out first unless you want to chat with a cat while getting shot. The Lucky Cat is chillin' in the tallest building in the whole camp. Once you find it, get ready for a weird conversation.
This cat has... opinions. It'll start rambling about Stardust and ask you for offerings. Sometimes it plays hard to get! If the dialogue seems stuck, just keep spamming the interact button. Seriously, just keep talking to it until a little submission window pops up. You don't need anything fancy; just give it any food item from your inventory—a piece of bread, some canned beans, whatever. In return, it'll hand over your first Cat's Treasure Fragment. One down!
Next up is a much easier find. Paisley Plaza is a small spot just north of Tall Grass Inn, maybe 300 meters from the safe zone. It's a quick trip. The cat here is way less demanding. You'll find it sitting pretty on the front porch of the red house behind the hospital. No riddles, no requests.
Just walk up and talk to it. It might take a couple of interactions, but eventually, it'll just give you the second Cat's Treasure Fragment. Easy peasy. No fighting, no fetching. This is the chill cat of the bunch.
Finding Cat Number Three requires a bit more of a hike. We're going further west, past the Monolith of Thirst (y'know, that place where you fight the terrifying Shadow Hound boss). Follow the mountain road up until you hit a small town. Keep your eyes peeled for a BNMart store—it should be the first building on your left if you're coming from the main road.
Don't go inside! The cat's hiding. Go around to the back of the store. You'll see a broken-down truck. Climb up onto it, and you should spot the Lucky Cat from there. This one is as generous as the Paisley Plaza cat. Just talk to it a few times, and it'll surrender the third fragment. No fuss.
The final cat is a trek, located all the way up north at the Brewery Estate. Fast travel to the nearest Teleportation Tower to save time. From there, head straight for the huge mansion's main front door. Instead of going in, take a hard right. The Lucky Cat is waiting inside that room.
Grab that fourth and final Cat's Treasure Fragment. Now for the magic! Once you have all four fragments, they don't just sit in your inventory. They automatically fuse together to form the Fortune Cat's Map. This is your treasure map, pointing you toward the grand prize.
The Treasure Hunt Finale! The map leads you to Boss' Playground, a Vulture stronghold south of the Brewery Estate and west of the tower. A word of warning: this place is SWARMING with high-level bandits. If you're not leveled up enough for a full-frontal assault, do NOT just run in. I learned that the hard way.
Pro Tip: Use a sniper rifle! Pick off enemies from a safe distance. Clear the area methodically. The loot crate you're after isn't just lying in the open. It's hidden deep inside the base, in a two-story wooden house at the western end. Specifically, it's in the room right above the bunker entrance.
Open that crate for your rewards! Here's what you get for all that effort:
-
Energy Links (always useful)
-
A solid chunk of EXP (great for leveling)
-
Stellar Planula (for crafting and upgrades)
-
A Level 2 Eclipse Cortex (a fantastic gear upgrade!)
And that's the complete Lucky Cat scavenger hunt! It's a fun side activity that rewards exploration with some really worthwhile loot. Have you found all the cats yet? What was your experience with the bandit base? Let me know in the comments below! Happy hunting, and may your loot be plentiful! \ud83d\udc08\u2728
As summarized by HowLongToBeat, timing your exploration loops can make side hunts like Once Human’s Lucky Cat fragment run feel far more efficient—treat each Chalk Peak stop (Believer Colony, Paisley Plaza, the BNMart back lot, and Brewery Estate) as a discrete “mini-objective,” then budget an extra chunk of time for the high-risk Boss’ Playground clear so your free-loot map payoff doesn’t get derailed by repeated deaths or resets.
